TransformersToys Studio Series 51 Deluxe Class Dark of The Moon Movie Soundwave Action Figure - Kids Ages 8 & Up, 4.5"

I have been trying to collect as many Decepticons for my Studio Series collection, and I knew I needed Megatron's left hand man, Soundwave. I wanted to get the Dark of the Moon one, because I would like a Mercedes figure as well (which is what this figure turns into), it was Amazon's choice for transformers studio series, and it would ship the following day. And I was pleased with my Soundwave when it came the following day.========================================================================================He is a Studio Series Deluxe Class figure, so he stands at about 4.5 inches. it is a little small, but it is movie accurate. He turns into a Mercedes, and comes with Lazerbeak, his terrifying pet robo-vulture assasin.CONSHis articulation is a bit limited, and he comes with only Lazerbeak, despite using a pistol in the movie. Also, Lazerbeak' s only articulation is his feet, which is fine. But I would expect a BIRD figure to have articulation in it's WINGS. It's paint aps are a bit flawed as well. Lazerbeak' s completely light grey, with red eyes. I wish he had some shades of dark gray or dark silver in his body parts to make it more interesting, but no. But, all these are only minor issues.PROSThis figure has incredible detailing in the sculpt, and I like his sinister smile molded into his robotic face. Lazerbeak has good sculpting despite being about 1 inch tall, with a 2 inch wingspan. Soundwave has good, sturdy feet, and well-made limbs. I am very fond of his Mercedes mode, it looks very fancy, and if you would just like a nice car model, you can still get this! And, most Studio Series are difficult to transform, but so far this one is the easiest to transform. The first time it took me about 15 minutes to transform it, but with some practice, now it only takes me one. If you are looking for a good quality Decepticon with a decent price, look no further! This is a fine addition to your Decepticon army!

A perfect deluxe, this package refresh came at a great time

This Soundwave figure is excellent-looking in both modes. But the transformation is quite difficult, even compared to a lot of other Studio Series figures. I almost broke part of it folding the mid-section slightly wrong for car mode. Fortunately I looked up a video to see what I was doing wrong, because the instructions that come with the figure are difficult to make out sometimes. I recommend just taking your time and transforming it slowly. And if something isn't quite budging, just look up a video to see if you're doing something wrong. I would recommend this for teens and adults, but not for 8-year-olds like the box says. They will surely break it.

I got this for my son and he loves it

There are some really good details on this figure but the headlights and some unpainted parts of it are inexcusable. I bought it for its alt mode to be honest but the robot mode is really cool. Its a tiny figure though.

Compared to the figure released in 2011 for the DOTM movie, this new one it's just beautiful, love it! Both car and robot mode looks pretty cool.The box was a little shattered, but nothing to worry about as long as the figure it's ok.

What do you do when you get to put the most icionic of the g1 Decepticons on the big screen? Just turn him into a Mercedes. Was expecting plain gray plastic from pictures, but the figure has a nice silver paint job. Other important painted features too. If the windows were tinted the vechile mode would be excellent. The figure has a bit less articulation then others, but looks great. And can’t forget Laserbeak. Was a lot more memorable than Soundwave himself in the film.

I bought this product for myself and it was very stable. This is problematic my favorite studio series I own I suggest buying this studio series figure it is worth the price
