    14 cm is about 5.5 inches, so yeah around SS scale. Maybe slightly larger, but being Soundwave, it shouldn't be an issue

    This thing is still gorgeous but I’ll just have to drool over these pictures until someone oversizes it by 3-4cm so it’s 1/32 scaled

    Totally agree! But then there’s comments like this:
    There’s already an MP-scaled larger dotm Soundwave. We need more small figures like this one.

    I agree we need more small scale figures but this one is just TOO small . The Mistah soundwave we currently have is way too big it’s at the MPM 1/28 Car bot scale and not the MPM 1/32 scale everyone else is calculated too.

    I know I’m asking too much but my pipe dream would be if they could take bots like La Hire and Peru Kill but shrink them down to the size of the original firage and ROTF deluxe line.

    My question is; is this REALLY 14cm, or are they calling it 14cm because that's "standard deluxe sized" even though it hasn't been for years while Hasbro still plastered it on their website adverts as if it was?

    I'd change my mind a little if this figure is genuinely 14cm tall.

    Yes, completely forgot about this, thanks. Back to zero interest.

    Frankly, this looks good enough for MPM scale. No clue why they decided to size this to chug scale; really crippled my interested in this release.

    maybe because not everyone likes mp(m) scale? and 3ps are starting to realize?

    "Why did they give us something different instead of more of the same?"

    Dude there's already a good looking, well made MPM-scale figure of this design, why on earth would you ask for something that already exists?

    Wouldn’t that same logic apply to this figure, who already has a SS figure?


    If we are going to be doing SS scaled bots, forget redoing characters already done by Hasbro. Make SS Devcon a reality!!!

    Uh. Options are nice?

    Hell, according to this logic, why be excited for any upcoming release if there’s already an adequate existing figure of that design.

    Actually I would prefer they have done a figure of a character we don't have already, but I'd prefer they do something that hasn't been done at this complexity at least, as opposed to MPM scale which already has an accurate and complex and generally well-regarded figure. If this one is good it's an easy replacement of the SS figure at least.
    Because this is a MORE DIFFERENT option than MPM-scale. It's more interesting than getting something that's already been done at the same scale and complexity.

    "looking like a masterpiece (MP/MPM)" is what every SS/Chug or legends collector is expecting to see in their lines! I can understand your opinion when you are an MPM collector, but that doesn't mean your preference applies for all.
    Many people don't have enough space for MP/MPM figures, or they just like small scale at its finest. While Toywould has their own WWII line (yet sadly it is likely dead), I'm glad to see ToyLAB doing main SS scaled characters. Hopefully there will be more companies like them in the future.

    And while it looks that good, and if it'll be good in hands, I won't be surprised that it'll get OSKO one day.

    Going to wait for a review or two, but am hoping this is good. I'm really down for the $50 figures vs. the $150 or $250 that the mp/mpp figures are going for now.

    Kinda interested in this guy a little but it’s odd he’s coming in stock but still no additional photos or video review.

    I know, he looks awesome, but I'm hesitant to pay my pre-order without a review.

    Theyve successfully shrunk an mpm scale figure. Bring on the rest!
