    Is there any place you can preorder this? Or has that ship (somehow) already sailed?

    I honestly think it’s under detailed for a robot. Thankfully there are toy swap out parts that give him detailing.

    Either they include it as one package, or I’m out. I’m not supporting them if they separate them, that’s for sure. Advertised as being 1 package, better be 1 package.

    It would be awesome if they are included, though if they dont im still going to get it, but im thinking of doing a hibrid with a mix of toon and toy parts and get the best of both looks

    Agreed. Or the $1m Starscream v3...

    I really need to think about selling my Hasbro Soundwave with 3P head etc. and cassettes. It's in excellent condition but this just looks epic to my eyes at least, because I'm all about the toon aesthetic.

    ShowZ had deposits for him up. Unfortunately, they're sold out at this point.

    Hoping they get PO's up again, because they are the only site I really trust PO's with.

    Is there any known date of release for acoustic wave? Or an estimation on when he might be released?

    Not really, he's just one of their "in development" figures. Within a year is probably the closest estimate.

    the toy bits parts (or alternate transformation?) isi the ONLY reason i'm interested in this. mp-13 still holds down his own against any existing mp takara or 3P in most respects.

    I wonder if this would be able to hold the official MP cassettes or if the dimensions will be different.

    I agree. MP-13 is still a very good figure. It's probably the only one from the Hasui era that has retained its charm. MP-10 too still looks good.

    I'm legit now thinking of keeping 13 and doubling up just because of that. Was originally thinking of selling him off but I feel like I can't bring myself to, haha.
