Toy Review: Beast Hunters DLX Soundwave

[Tallestblue]

I preordered the set of 4 with this guy from BBTS and he's my least favourite. mostly dude some mold issues which means Soundwave is a bit loose in monster jet mode. Ravage is cute though.

- Why they decided to reference Soundwave's Universe 1.0 colour scheme for this figure is beyond me though.

OOoooh, I wondered why they went with those ugly colours...

But I personally love those colours, and the mould.

haha ha! Glad someone does

I might be up for the mould if I didn't already have Soundwave.

the original mold's legs were the worst aspect of the toy and will also be the same with this toy.

love the look of ravage

Just got him this afteroon. Rather disappointed.

His plastic is so soft that nothing stays pegged in when transforming into beastdrone mode. Especially where his wings connect to the fuselage and at his elbows.
I worry about parts of his nosecone coming off in the future because parts of the soft plastic are so thin, they could twist off.

If he didn't come with Ravage, I couldn't recommend buying this. $30 for a robot cat that could fit on a 50c piece is pretty steep though.

I don't know...

I saw this toy in store... looked at Ravage... nah, can't justify getting this toy just for Ravage. Certainly not at full RRP.

I voted: Only If...

Frankly I find the new colours really garish on most of the Beast Hunters toys and have no interest in picking up the newer versions of the older characters (with the exception of Prime with the new trailer). The only reason I put 'only if' instead of 'not interested' is that if I saw him REALLY cheap I would consider picking him up for Ravage (the same as I would pick up a REALLY cheap FOC Soundwave so I could have Laserbeak as well as Buzzsaw).

Well, picked him up in the Target toy sale so stuck to my word (though he was cheap-ish - not REALLY cheap). I think part of it was that I got MP SW at the start of the month, then Constructbots SW a week or two ago so right now just find it hard to resist a Soundwave That said, waiting for FOC Soundwave to get cheaper than 20% off before I pick him up

Oh and review? Yeah, not bad, the colour on the main torso is much stronger and less washed out than on the TFP version. Ravage isn't bad, interesting to see Ravage done with his legs a different colour than his main torso which is odd but acceptable. Since I picked up AM Rumble, kinda getting in to recreating Soundwaves minion league in the Prime universe. Just Frenzy and that scorpion thing to go
