Transformers Studio Series 86 - Leader Soundwave

The cassette player mode looks fantastic on the shelf, and the articulation in robot mode makes posing a blast. I was impressed by how sturdy the joints feel compared to some other figures I own.

The transformation into the cassette player mode is shockingly clean for a leader-class figure, and he scales perfectly next to my other Studio Series bots. Took me a few minutes to get the chest panels to tab in right, but once I did, it's solid. The movie-inspired paint apps on the face really cap

The articulation on this figure is fantastic, letting me pose Soundwave in so many dynamic stances from the movie. I was really impressed by how cleanly the cassette player mode tabs together without any loose panels. This is the definitive version of the character for my collection.
