does anyone know when this figure will be released. I saw photos of the proto type months ago and I am getting impatient!!!
Probably not for a while. Not even the first wave of Animated has hit (it's slated for around June here in the US), and I'm guessing that he's going to be one of the later waves of the line. Probably either late this year, or early next year, depending on a couple of different factors (how many new TF's are in each wave, how many waves there are, and how much time there is between new waves).
I can't wait to get that figure. I'll be buying several (one for my collection, one to sit in my recording studio and a third to put on my guitar amp when my band plays shows)
Soundwave is at least wave 2, which has been confirmed (on the FP now) for Fall of 2008. Expect the first sightings to be in July/August.
I wouldn't expect Soundwave until a much later wave of TFA...so not until, end of the year..maybe next year?
