I forgot about this! I just pre-ordered this along with Soundblaster at Captured Prey. They have the best price for these two.

A few things to note about this image.

Twincast's chest is smooth with a tampographed symbol. Whether he has a modified version of the original Twincast chest or just Blaster's, I can't tell.

He has new red details (stickers or paint) underneath this upper thigh stickers.

The box art for Twincast gives him a yellow face and blue eyes instead of a silver face and gold eyes like the original (I'm thinking the robot is changed to reflect this).

Yeah I thought it was weird how they repainted Soundblaster's chest purple like he had it in Headmasters but they didn't give Twincast a more show-accurate yellow face, at least not initially, hopefully the final product'll get the show-accurate treatment.

Actually HLJ has these guys for a little cheaper, AmiAmi has an even better price but both are sold out if I'm not mistaken.

I gave in and threw them both in my pile of loot. Soundblaster mostly for the cassettes. Twincast since I never owned the Blaster mold. I always liked Blaster because his is the apitimy of 1980's hip hop. But in Soundwave's case I never understood why people associate him with rock and roll. He transformed into a micro-cassette recorder, not a tape deck or walkman. Throughout the 1980's, micro-cassette recorders were only used to record voices such as college lectures or personal journals. I should know, my dad was a college professor.

I've had these preordered for the longest time now. Mostly for the cassettes, especially in Twincast's case as I already have the original reissue. Glad there's some differences between that and this.

If you're referring to the stock photos they had when they were first announced, they were the original stock photos for the figures in 1987/1988 and not new ones. In those photos Soundblaster had a blue window instead of a red one (when they decided to make his window reveal the hidden plans on Buzzsaw).

Oh I see now, Soundblaster's animation model must have been based on those photos then.

Yes it was. Though in the animation the window ended up being more purple than blue (probably for a little more contrast).

I like the fact that there are more differences to it, so that it gives me a reason to buy it when I already have the E-hobby version from a few years back.

The new box and modified boxart are fantastic additions, making this a much more desirable piece to keep MISB than the E-Hobby version.

Someone should gift these to certain respected members of a certain podcast...

(Note that because I said "respected" that means only Matt will be getting one gifted to him.)

TakaraTomy may love its fans, but not that much ;)

I've really liked that as well. It's cool too have the slight variations.
