Images of Die Cast Bonus Figure for Hasbro Rerelease of Masterpiece Soundwave

So this is an Asian reissue?
Hahaha I'm tempted by the new box


I have discovered a new finding at Ross but Idk how to post news, or is there a forum member I send the images too?

Paid mine a fortune via a trade but it was well worth it.

One of the figures I've desired got some time. Mine arrives on Wednesday.

Its the same box as the original Hasbro release. And to submit news just click the link in my signature. There is also a submit news button at the top right.

Not quite the same James

Yeah your right, wow I didnt notice. oh well, bad news for completionists

The price of Soundwave is one of the reasons why it probably wasn't the best time for to get back into the Transformers. I have issues with the car, Roku, and computer, and I need to track down one of those new Funko Pop figures of Axl Rose. They make Slash and Duff as well but as I may have said in an earlier thread, I have limited space for toys these days due to having to move back in with the folks. Yeah, I'm currently for the most part unemployed. I repair computers for a living but these days, most people seem to just rely on smartphones, tablets, or really cheap laptops, so they just replace them instead of fix them.

I did order a really cool Optimus Prime figure off of Amazon the other day from China or Japan but despite the 98% positive reviews, I'm starting to think its counterfeit. Its really hard to tell at times, and easy at others. Like there are a few on Amazon that are obviously fakes since Optimus has blue feet instead of silver (I'm referring to the film version). But if it looks as good as it does in the pics, and isn't made totally flimsy, I'll be happy regardless and it'll be kind of nostalgic since back when I was a kid my uncle used to take me to the swap meet to get my Transformers and I know some of them were either counterfeit or something because they had actual spring loaded weapons, the ones at T'RU looked identical but did not have spring loaded weapons.

Still expensive as hell... but WAY better than the secondary market's scalpy prices.

Got mine.

I am disappointed by the tapes...especially Ravage...

Thats too bad. What do you dislike about the Frenzy and Lazerbeak mold? How do you find them compared to their Titans Return counterparts?

I admittedly haven't played with the tapes yet other than popping them in and out of SW. I have KO Ratbat which I have played with and am fine with, so I think I'll enjoy the birds. I am aware of the complaints with the other tapes so I'm not expecting much, especially with ravage. But the awesomeness of SW overcomes it all.

They are not, the only main difference is the colour of Soundwave's eyes. The casettes are practically the same. Also, I dont find the Titans Return Rumble that much bigger and they are less articulated.

Just to let you know in case you consider getting them. I will say this though, the headsculpts on the United Rumble/Frenzy is better, in my opinion.
