New Toy Galleries: Transformers Dark of the Moon Soundwave Cyberverse, Deluxe, and Human Alliance

HA Soundwave looks so awesome, it hurts. Gets better every time, it seems.

For my money, the clear winner here is Deluxe. Fairly accurate vehicle mode, and a robot mode that, while not the most screen accurate, just looks best comparitively. I might get HA Soundwave to give my HA Bee some cannon fodder, with the added bonus of a Dylan for Sam to knock around, but if I only get one of 'em, you can bet it will be Deluxe.

According to what I heard from a friend, one of the convention panels said that the Deluxes had to capture as much of the CGI model as possible. So, basically, DX Soundwave is pretty accurate.

He's also a pain to transform.

And HA Jazz was compact and he roughly reaches up to BB's head.

I can't speak for the HA version, but the Deluxe is fine as is. The way he transforms, you'd chip or rub off all of the paint, in time. He'd look awful.

Hm.

I guess I will get the Deluxe after all.

Everyone's going for the Deluxe, and so am I. I'm not much of a HA collector anyway. Where's Legion Laserbeak?

Movie Trilogy Soundwave superior:

Your responses are very interesting to me. I was very disappointed in the deluxe class figure. The delay with these figures might have built up a level of expectation in my head that was unobtainable. Aside from the lack of paint in the Human Alliance Soundwave, I was overall rather pleased with it and think it comes much closer to matching his on-screen appearance than the deluxe class pulls off. Neither figure is perfect unfortunately, which is a bummer because Soundwave is my all-time favorite Transformers character. Hopefully this isn't the last movie Soundwave mold that we see. I think Hasbro can do better.

I have to say, that one does look much better..

Might wait till then.
(When is then?)

How the hell did Ryan obtain all three?
