I am looking for a decent voyager sized soundwave toy. Any suggestions or news on an upcoming figure of this size besides the FOC soundwave?

Unfortunately, despite being one of the most, if not the most, Decepticons out there, most of his toys have been Deluxe Class. There are only two or three Voyager Class ones including the FoC one, and one Leader. Here are some from the galleries:

Another option is to go high-end yet pricey with the Masterpiece range:

There's always G1 Soundwave. Technically around Voyager Size and stills hold up fairly nicely.

He's also fairly easy to come by, as he's been re-released a ton of times over the years in different lines and different ways.



Otherwise, the Cybertron Soundwave is a pretty good toy. With an included Laserbeak canister, and pretty cool Stealth bomber alt mode.

If you absolutely MUST have a voyager-sized figure, I suggest G1 Soundwave as well. But I highly recommend the MP figure, it's probably a top 3 best ever figure from the MP line. Otherwise, it's slim pickin's I'm afraid. Personally, I think the Cybertron and FoC figures are :SICK: :SICK:

If you want Voyager class, the only real options are the ones you're already aware of unfortunately.

Shockwave suffers from the same predicament too. My C/G display STILL isn't complete, and that's been going on for 12 friggin years :(

Depends on what you consider Leader sized and Voyager Sized.

MP Soundwave stands at around 8 inches tall.

Most Leader Class figures are around 10 and a half inches tall.

Voyagers can be anywhere between 6 to 9 inches tall depending on what line they come from.

Older figures in any size class were bigger than they are today for the same size class in general.

Try getting the TFC version. Great packaging and the missile work! :-D Poke you in the eyed awesomeness!

Regret not being able to get the Takara version back in 1985 with the nonfunctional headphones :(

No one mentioned the VERY great FOC Soundwave? It's a voyager, great looking in both modes and have cassettes too. Plus the price is still pretty reasonable even on Ebay.

If you absolutely want a "classic" Soundwave, the G1 original is still unbeatable to this day for a voyager size.

Probably because the original question specifically excludes FOC Soundwave. His greatness notwithstanding.

I am looking for a decent voyager sized soundwave toy. Any suggestions or news on an upcoming figure of this size besides the FOC soundwave?

Ah....

Still, I think the general concensus for G1 Soundwave stand. So unless one is dirt poor, a G1 Soundwave and some cassettes are quite easy to come by. Especially with all the reissues that guy had.


US:

UK:

The noob should avoid anything from China, unless they wand a cheap KO.

If you don't mind going non-traditional that tablet Soundwave also exists and is voyager sized.

Although, if you don't like FOC, the Cybertron one is a good bet.

What ever happened to the MBB soundwave that got teased a while back, or the Megasteel Soundwave.
Really wanted these guys they seemed promising but I don't know when they're releasing or releasing at all.
