The long awaited reissue of the Netflix Soundwave arrives with a BOOM and Mark's got it all jacked in with the details on Soundwave and his friends Rumble, Ravage, and Buzzaw. See the behinds the scenes notes on these figures with their updated decos, followed by the images of the set.
Product colors and ops may vary people, the sample I have is an early sample, I pushed hard to get everything on this wonderful team but the things I can confirm are RED eyes on ol Soundwave! The silver on him is also consistent throughout the entire character, so the silver paint on some peices were left off so things didnt look so inconsistent but the silver spray operations that were left on do a great job to not be so unmatched to the plastic molded grey! Note about the gold, the buzzsaw gold seems a bit more copper toned then I remember in the final release it should lean more towards gold bar gold!
Big shout out to @bmacatron84 for really pushing to make his favorite character come with all these lovely cassettes. As always, praise the wizard gods Takara for being design engineer geniuses!
this is a buzzer beater I feel, PREORDERS GO LIVE AT 1:00 pm et TODAYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Quick recap: core galvatron, geocron - deluxe g1 op, slipstream, quake - voyager metalhawk, motormaster - leader galvatron, soundwave with cassettes. All up for prorder TODAY!
Its been a pleasure everyone, till next time
The last year or so of releases, capped off by this Soundwave, has convinced me that Hasbro is in worse financial shape than we believe. I mean, not to even have new tapes for Soundwave is pathetic. I have to agree with many that this Siege SW mold could of and should have been given a redo ss86 style. Unfortunately, this is just diminishing the ss86 good will that fans had come to expect from a slightly more premium line. Hasbro is dei-ying. ?

The article clearly says Leader Class. They packed in 3 core class figure so they could charge you $55 for a Voyager while making you pay for a set of core class figures you probably already have. I've had enough of this crap from Hasbro. They clearly don't respect their dedicated customers and fans.
He's a Voyager.

We're well beyond the days of Siege with overly detailed surfaces and now are in the phase of esthetics being defined as "less is more" shown by the Legacy Stunticons and the studio 86 series. At a leader class price point, I'm not certain I would want to spend that money on figure that no longer would have a prime location in my collection.
