Not good enough.

Very easy "Pass" for me. WFC Soundwave will still be the represented figure on my shelf.

If this were a Hasbro Deluxe figure that retailed for $15, I would be crapping my pants right now.

Instead, it's going to pre-order for close to $100 and it's just not good enough for that price.

Much as I respect their attempt to fit G1 cassettes into him, that huge chest is a major turnoff. And yet, it IS a Soundwave, so I'll probably find my way toward buying it.

This looks really cool. What would really be awesome is a Blaster and Soundwave that is compatible w/ all of the Perfect Effect "cassettes". Make the alt mode some gun/missile battery that can house several of the guns.

I would total be psyched and would be buying this...

...from Target, Walmart, ToysRUs, or even HTS.com. This just doesn't work. With WFC Soundwave still in stores and Music Label still available cheaper (not to mention everything Fansproject has ever done) this thing just isn't worth it.

These new images are a bit better. I'm somewhat drawn, but also somewhat turned off by some design choices too. Now I knew that head and pelvis looked tiny since they made the chest accomodate tapes. But what really knaws at me is that (teeny) head-sculpt falls flat for me. The headsculpt is one of the most important and identifying parts of a character and I don't know who that is supposed to be. Besides being off target, it is really busy.

OK heres my biggest issue: They went so far out of their way to modernize the head, arms, and legs, yet the torso is still this huge big square block. That works for a G1 figure but not for something meant to blend in with your classics collection. To much is being compromised to allow actual G1 cassettes to fit inside this guy. Who the hell displays G1 cassettes with classics figures anyways ??? Thats what Perfect Effect figures are for.

Just not good enough considering it'll probably cost 45 dollars or more.
