Greetings

It looks like Music Label Soundblaster is getting another production run from Takara. Preorders are currently priced at $74.99 at BigBadToystore.



If you need the Reprolabels sticker set for him, preorders for those are $8.99, also at BBTS.

Anyone who doesn't have this mold should get it. It's pure win.

Agreed, I have the blue and white versions. White is still in his box but blue has an SD card and is often used as an MP3 player. Its just a shame the sound quality is so poor, lots of hiss.

So? He's the perfect Classics Soundwave, and the white one was in fact repurposed as (Cybertron Mode) Shattered Glass Soundwave I should hunt down the blue, but the black is also appealing...

So?

So what? So its a shame the audio is poor?

Its a shame cos its a flaw in an otherwise top figure.

i tried him once as an mp3 player. I found him much more enjoyable as a figure though.

It's one of the priciest Deluxes you can get but if you must have a G1 style Soundwave with knees that got the right way it's the one to go for.

Makes for a fantastic Classics Soundwave (the properly colored one, that is)...never even tried the MP3 player. If I recall, the functionality of it was quite limited anyhow. But I am tempted to get him an SD card just so he's packin' something in the chest...

Only question, why are they re-issuing this deco and not the traditional colors? Is Soundblaster more popular in Japan?

My only guess is because they're reissuing Soundblaster again (the G1 version of the figure) along with Twincast soon.
