We have a few additional in-hand images of Transformers Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Soundwave courtesy of TFW2005 member Soundwavedotm. These images have the figure's shoulders in a different configuration from the last set of in-hand pictures that surfaced on eBay. Hopefully this guy and his wave mate Deluxe Wheeljack/Que will be making their retail debut shortly. Click here to view all of Soundwavedotm's images, we've mirrored a few below.
Dare I say this thing looks better than the $29.99 HA soundwave toy in robot mode. it would be kinda funny if both the deluxe $ 29.99 ha soundwave robot modes were the same exact height.
No,I still don't plan on buy this in deluxe or $29.99 HA toy forms.
The lack of paint applications is just SAD. I realize that his head, rims, taillights, speakers and bellybutton are painted but they only serve to highlight the fact that the gray plastic looks like crap. Maybe Hasbro figures they can save money by having us paint him?
Well, the new images show that at least the ball joint can be rotated so he's not permanently monkey armed. But that serious lack of paint is just killing me. It's the one thing that is really making it difficult to like this figure.
What is it with Hasbro and Soundwave, one of TF's more iconic characters. We hear that there is a new Soundwave coming out, and we're like "yaaay", and then we actually see it and it's like "awwww crap". This happens repeatedly. Why can't they get him right?
