    I just got my MP SoundBlaster today and man what a figure. I was going to pass on this guy but TFSource had him for $120 last week so I picked him up. Am I sure glad I did. I like him much more than Soundwave. Not only do the colors look great the joints are much better. I have had 3 different Takara Soundwaves and two of them has loose shoulder joints right out of the box. Soundblasters joints are all nice and tight. The purple chest piece add-on makes soundblaster look great. Just wanted to let others who may be on the fence that they should consider picking SoundBlaster up, he is worthy addition to a MP collection.

    Personally, I can't justify buying Soundblaster. Not right now, anyways.

    Also, how common is the problem with Soundwave's shoulders? Because the joints on mine are all excellent.

    yeah. all the joints on my takara soundwave are perfect.. plus, soundwave is WAY more iconic.. so, i'll stick with soundwave over soundblaster.

    I already had one, but was tempted to pick up another last week at that $120 price. Honestly Ratbat is so good, it was worth the price of admission all by itself... Soundblaster was just extra awesome.

    I hope a 3rd party makes a blue extension window like the purple window on Soundblaster. Gives him more buff that looks better than the flat chest. Plus the blue tinted window would look more cartoon accurate.

    SoundBlaster is the more beautiful of the two, but, of course, Soundwave is the icon. Gotta have both. Ratbat hasn't gotten enough attention since his release, I feel.

    Well this thread has got me extra excited because I also picked up Soundblaster and MP-11 while tfsource was running their sale. I was on the fence about both purchases but given their great price and some extra store credit I decided to give them both a shot. They should arrive tomorrow :D
