Toys Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom Core Class WFC-K21 Soundwave Action Figure - Kids Ages 8 and Up, 3.5-inch

If you want to collect transformers, but either a) hate the rising cost of plastic, or b) don't have a lot space for display, then this is a great figure to start you off or add to your collection. POINTS OF REVIEW: AESTHETIC: This little guy is show accurate and definitely hits all the right notes with color and design. He includes his gun and little missile launcher (both removable and adjustable), adding to his play value. He even comes with a tiny cassette (which sadly doesn't transform) that is highly detailed, and can be stored in Soundwave chest! Wow! This Soundwave turns into his classic cassette player form, but he loses a point here for not exactly being a good looking cassette player :(. Its a bit weird looking. ARTICULATION: Transformers fans love articulation, and at this size, this one has got it. I think at least 13 points, which is more than the original had. Highly Posable and cool! PRICE: Its well known that in 2021, Hasbro raised the prices on all its products, but if you can get this at its MSRP of under 14 bucks, you're getting a steal. 10/10 (just don't let your 5 year old play with your only copy, the pieces are easily losable, and the figure won't withstand heavy play)

If you want a cassette player transformer, this is your only option that isn’t $100. I was looking for a Soundwave that transformed into a cassette player, as I only have siege, but I got this. Really should have looked at the size. Earthrise is just too expensive, and there’s no Kingdom release. So this was my best option, despite it being small. Still a great size to fool around with, but you might want to take the weapons away for a few years if you plan on giving this to a toddler.

Transforms really well no issues

He’s pretty small at only 3” so I took a pic of him next to a standard water bottle so you can get an idea. He’s easy to pose and holds his pose quite well. Decent detail and isn’t flimsyZ very easy to transformer into his alt mode!

I mean it’s a little pricey for such a small figure, but i got it for my boyfriend he seemed very happy with it, maybe because of me but probably because it’s cool. Very nimble, my grimlock one is stiff so this one being easier to move was cool.

I the package came opened and taped shut. Nothing missing, must be because this is an older toy that looks like it’s been sitting around for a while. Definitely not a grade 10 package. This is a very small toy. About the size of the other original model smallest transformer. The original Bumblebee bug comes to mind. The cassette does not transform. However, at this low price, you’re paying for nostalgia. I love it! Had the original as a child. Oh the memories!

This little guy is just awesome. As someone who was skeptical of this new size class, I have to admit I keep getting sucked in as each new figure one-ups the last. Prime was OK, Meg was as least as good if not better. Screamer better yet and now Soundwave. What’s not to love? (Ok, the feet but still). The bot is super faithful, transformation is classic and the alt mode almost perfect. Plus he has an opening chest and a tape!!! Apps wise there’s even the red missile apps on the shoulder launcher. Is this guy perfect? No but he’s pretty awesome otherwise so if they keep releasing figures like this it looks like I’m going deep in another size class. At least these take up the fraction of the space of a Titan class fig.

The bad: foolish me didn't read the size before I ordered this and as you can see in the picture it is quite small next to a standard soundwave. You can find this at most wal mart or targets for $9.99. Also to note is that the legs are a bit loose but oddly the arms are not. The good: for a small figure it actually does look really good. The tape deck works and has a tiny tape ( doesn't transform) the shoulder cannon and blaster stay in really well
