I really love Henkei Hound... this guy is a like a Deluxe scale Binaltech/Alternator because the vehicle mode betrays virtually no robot kibble (other than the underside, but even some BT/ALTs have that problem) and it's got an impressive amount of detailing in the sculpt, including the inside of the vehicle and throughout the toy, which is so impressive. On top of all that it comes with Ravage!

Ravage is okay... he's what you'd expect from a "Classics" style upgrade of the character. It's neat that he has the same spool-hole size as the g1 toy as it allows me to add on G1 Ravage's weapons to him. The cassette mode is too thick to fit into G1 Soundwave's chest though. He can fit into Soundblaster's chest but due to the thickness it means that you cannot fit in a second cassette at the same time. Basically he's about x1.5 the thickness of a regular G1 cassette.

For 2310JPY* this is astoundingly GOOD value for money.

*Which is like $23.10 for people in Japan. Sure, I paid more because of our lousy exchange and postage cost, but that's not TakaraTOMY's fault and so it's not something that I factor into the inherent core value of the toy.
