    And this I do agree with. It’s possible to add elbows in the design 100%. But theres a chance it may not be as structurally sound as Hasbro would like. Not to mention the what type of plastic used. They would need to be made of the harder nylon plastic, but then they would be unpaintable.

    At the end of the day, Hasbro could not our elbows due to Budget and structural issues. That just the way the cookie crumbled. But we should be happy that for once, Hasbro said "hey, our old version is bad, so let's fix the paint!".

    There is barely any space between the fist and the shoulder joint, an elbow cannot be put into this specific design

    My only real problem with SS86 Rumble so far is I haven't found him on local shelves yet.

    Nice little guy. Should have had elbows. A single ball joint isn't rocket science. When these are approaching Dr. Wu prices, we should be getting that level of quality.

    Can't wait to get this guy in-hand. And yeah, elbow joints would make him nigh-perfect.

    People so focused on those elbows... Anyone notice how great his legs are?

    I'm hoping we can get a new mold Soundwave, or at least a Marvel Soundwave. I don't think this Soundwave is as great as everyone seems to think, I believe it's closer to ER Ironhide.... In between definitive.

    Same. Netflix version was hard to find. Everyone should be able to own a modern day Soundwave

    Just because the designer says they couldn't accomplish something doesn't make it impossible, nor does it invalidate criticism.
    And moreover, finding a better way to do something is the essence of innovation.

    Rumble's designer is not a liar.
    And critics are not necessarily wrong.

    Do the piledrivers fit the older rumble?

    I dunno, but if I ever find him on local shelves or catch him at retail price* on Amazon, I'll let you know. Heck, I'll try the piledrivers with WfC Knok and Eject too.

    (* I want Rumble badly, but not $30+ badly.)
