Seems like this thing is short a few joints. Seeing as you have it in hand, Does the chest really look that big? I know with Alternity BB and CJ the chests looked huge in pics but once in hand they seem to have shrunk. Does this hold true for BTS-04? In some of the picture the waist up proportions looks fine.
Yeah the proportions on the in-hand pics, which I think are made worse by some element of the color-mapping creating some kind of optical illusion, are what made me drop him like a hot potato. If they are less heinous in-hand, I might reconsider. Frankly, I'm hoping they tank, and end up cheap, since I am a Microchange nut, and this is a PERFECT modern example...unfortunately it still LOOKS like a 80s Microchange toy, so not a priority, but I'd love to have it as a novelty...
yeah the chest is big, it holds a G1 cassette! take a G1 cassette if you have one and look at it, i can measure it later but there is still room on each side of the cassette. look at the pic with him in robot mode with it open, its prob about same size as G1.
I'll try to find a G1 Soundwave and take some pics. Anything else people want pics of or information?
Why do you keep insisting that those transformation hinges in the thighs are meant to be the knee joints? You've already shown that the hinge lower down, behind the kneecap, functions in the proper direction. And out of curiosity, how many of you complaining about this guy's proportions bought Device Label Blaster? Because this guy ain't any different. It's easy to be swayed by how cool Guido's design looked on paper. But that thing cheats so freakin' hard on the proportions. This toy shows what happens when you try to convert that to 3D.
If you can, Pic with WFC Soundwave PE Rumble and Frenzy And may you take side pictures with the two soundwaves, I want to see how thick the figure is. Thanx a bundle
I'll get all the pics I can without taking it out of the clam shell. I cut the tape but never removed it from the clam shell. Until I find out if this one will be any different from the production piece. Give me some time to dig out those bots. I'll post something today.
I think it was mentioned in this thread that the version you have was limited to 20 and was meant to be handed out to retailers via RK. The mass release will differ but it wasn't mentioned as to how.
If Deceptigar has one open he can get some better angles but for the meantime..... He is about the same hight and width as Soundwave. He is actually a little taller but kinda hard to tell as the feet are not fully transformed in the blister.
Thanks for the pic. He is a lot taller than I thought. Yeah he is bought. He may be easily replaced by some other 3rd party in the future but as of now...My Classics is long overdue for a cassette holding Soundwave. p.s. And Soundwave doesn't necessarily need to hold cassettes in his chest but he does need to fit specific to SW minibots in his chest.
could you show this pose from the side? and are you sure there's nothing that can be done with that waist flap sticking out of the back? I can't believe they'd let that one pass through the design stage. anything that could even be done with a bit of modding?
*sigh* that's too bad, but given that he can at least pull of the pose with the pe rumble and frenzy, I'm gonna bite.
you can prob do some good poses, but the inverted knees make him like Movie SS and will decrease his size then and look weird without extended legs.
