    As a former professional videographer, I can honestly say that shades of violet are one of the hardest things to accurately capture in an image, without a lot of color editing. Dark purple tends to bend towards the blues, and lighter purples appear pink or magenta.

    If you want to see something interesting, look at the various pics of the Third Party Quakewave toy. Every gallery (sometimes even pics within the SAME gallery) have him a different shade of purple. It all has to do with the CCD imager and color processing done within the camera.

    So, Takara Shockwave could indeed be a rich purple! We'll not know until a dozen or so pics are released, taken by different cameras.

    Other then BBTS and Tfsource I haven't seen any from the Asia side. Nothing from HLJ and unless I searched wrong nothing from AmiAmi either.

    I wish they'd hurry up so I can preorder Soundwave already. :drool:

    well,no toy line is perfect. besides,they have to sacrifice that paint application money to make those arms microns.

    or a just,but foolish one,then again they might have a reason.

    Given TakTomy's past record? I'd say late April, 20th-30th.

    I do hope Takara's is a metallic purple, just from what we've seen? It's a very blue coloring. I put in a preorder for one on Takara's reputation alone of improving every figure they touch, along with an Optimus and a Smokescreen.
