Toy Review - JP Masterpiece Soundwave

[griffin]

Just something else I thought of; it's curious as to why in this day of cost cutting that Takara would decide to package Soundwave in his bot mode when the box could be half the size if he was in tape-deck mode. I could understand if the box had a display window ala TFC reissues, however since it's a blind box, most would remove him from the box and transform him anway. I know I did and I usually keep things MISB.

It will be interesting to see if Hasbro follow suit.

I think TakaraTomy had the big box to make it look more "worth it" to people who would buy it in person, or receive it in the mail... as it is a $150-200 toy, so you'd feel like it wasn't worth it if you got a box that was half the size.

Hasbro will probably have some sort of viewing window (if the box looks like a cassette player, the cassette window might be clear), so is likely to have it in robot mode to make it look like better value.

Agreed. I just don't think that a cassette player would attract much attention from the youth of today. Most probably wouldn't even know what it was
