    Does your Ratbat have a black smudge in tape mode just above his spool?

    I have two and both due in the exact same fashion.

    Thanks!

    Not that I can see. Can you post a pic so I can see what mark you're asking about?

    nope, but the gold paint has scratches and is somewhat of a lower QC. I suspect that these first edition SB's were rushed out of the factory production line (again) to meet the overwhelming demand.

    I didnt know there was a review section! Can you point me to where it is? I've looked at the Boards page, and I just see "Toys Discussion"?

    He's upside down here, but just under the spool. The two I had have this issue and Amazon JP is withholding their stock because they've heard of an issue from their customers. I'm wondering if this may be it or not?

    Is it possible to get that out with paint thinner?

    Man these MP's are exciting and scary to open. You just don't want to see a QC issue. It's shattering. I bought one from AE and one from HLJ. I've only opened the AE and the good track record from them continues, no issues at all.

    Ratbat is just awesome. The transformation and look makes him the best cassette, just beating out Laserbeak.

    My only minor disappointment is the purple chest on Soundblaster. It looks great but it's too dark when it's on the chest. It only looks bright when it catches the light.

    Definitely doesnt look right! Here's a screen grab from my video review showing Ratbat in alt mode. Mine was from Robotkingdom, and has no dark smudge.

    I'm thinking it's the ones (or at least some) direct from TakaraTomy and not from Hasbro Asia (like the ones RK gets).

    I am happy the sprue cut mark on Soundwave's faceplate is nowhere to be seen on Soundblaster. I'd pay good money for them to release a perfect face replacement for Soundwave.

    The rerelease Soundwave, that came out the same time as Prowl, doesn't have that issue.
