Well, apparently my time is worthless, because here's a list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The helmet is the wrong shape - specifically, the cheeks come down too low.<\/li>\n<li>The eye slits are checkmarks, rather than triangles.<\/li>\n<li>The armor on his shoulders is rounded when it should be square.<\/li>\n<li>His forearms should be black, not silver.<\/li>\n<li>He's missing the spiked elbow pads.<\/li>\n<li>He's also missing the spiked kneepads.<\/li>\n<li>There should be a rectangular launcher on his left arm.<\/li>\n<li>There should be ball bearings on his knuckles, and small claws on the back of each finger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The costume seemed to change slightly every issue, but those are the major differences. The thing is, as we <b>also<\/b> said in the review, the toy's costume <b>did<\/b> show up in the comics - it was just never worn by Paul Johnstone, the guy whose bio is on the back of the card. If Shocker had just used a bio for Eddie Collins, the kid who inherited the costume, everything would have been okay.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Look at what Shocker Toys has done now!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2008\/01\/look-at-what-shocker-toys-has-done-now\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Look at what Shocker Toys has done now!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Indie Spotlight update\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/12\/indie-spotlight-update\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Indie Spotlight update<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"The Maxx in motion\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2009\/11\/the-maxx-in-motion\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">The Maxx in motion<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Rustin's Spoils of the Week #29\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/08\/rustins-spoils-of-the-week-29\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Rustin's Spoils of the Week #29<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Soon Forget: Indie Spotlight Cassie Hack\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/04\/soon-forget-indie-spotlight-cassie-hack\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Soon Forget: Indie Spotlight Cassie Hack<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today's review of the Indie Spotlight Series 1 ShadowHawk, we said that the costume design was all wrong, but that it wasn't worth making a list of all the inaccuracies.
