    Not really feeling him. Don’t get her wrong he looks great, but I’m not really keen on the toy-inspired head sculpt.

    And no ejecting hand?!?

    Beefy proportions look great, as does the tiny Ravage. Wish he had Laserbeak too!

    And if you fold up his limbs, he'll probably still have a better alt mode than some of the recent Hasbro Soundwaves.

    That's just Dreamwave "small face" syndrome.

    It's not toy Soundwave's head to me unless it has that weird sort of half-height facemask that reveals his cheeks and nose.

    Those proportions look absolutely ridiculous.

    I might need this.

    The Soundwave model kit was designed by a Japanese team, and that includes the head sculpt. Does it really look that bad to you guys?

    Nice, good to see more model kits of TF. Recently got into building Gunplas (last year) so I now have interest in building TF-related model kits.

    The idw Kuro Kara kuri figure not enough for you? The first time I saw that figure I was impressed by it’s design and actually thought it was an anime design and not from a comic book.

    So will this Soundwave design become a figure in their action figure line, the one with Optimus and Drift that are not models.

    No model kits do not become Kuro Kara Kuri, only the other way around. Actually the only exception I think is Rodimus but only because his Figure and model kit where planned at the exact same time so they where both based on a similar design. There is Furai Action where it’s pre built and painted model kits that have the bonus of having some Diecast parts and a stand. Soundwave might become a Furai Action figure because it’s already happend to Leo Prime and IDW Optimus. The only thing that pissed me off about Soundwave is that his hands are so big that they could’ve made his fingers individually articulated and I think they where planning on doing that by the seam designs on his hands but they cut it out and replaced they with pre sculpted swappable hands.

    Poor Ravage. He just can't catch a break in any kind of toy form can he? :(

    I had gotten one of these from Hobby Lobby for 40% off just to try it out, and truly regret it. The build was somewhat annoying, and the finished quality is awful. It literally falls apart for no reason, with some of the smaller pieces just flying off if you move anything.
    The kit ended up in a parts bin. The only thing salvageable is the cannon and even then it's too stylized.

    This new Soundwave looks almost cartoonish, but that was Dreamwave for you.

    Oh well. I really enjoy building model kits, but these just aren't for me.
