Nice!
I had that figure on pre-order with Nippon-Yasan, and it got put on hold due to covid, but I just got an email from them yesterday saying it's prepping for shipping. So I might have it in another two months.

More stuff!

SO-DO Zero-One AI 07, which was an AmiAmi preorder that was going out
Figure-rise Kamen Rider Genm, which was something I'd wanted to get and AmiAmi had a preowned one for $35
and SO-DO Zi-O Ride 09, which was, like, $18 for the box so what the hell.

I'm not getting any smarter with my money!

AI07 looks fantastic, Burning Falcon and Ichi-gata are two of my favorite looking suits in Zero-One. Also, I'm hurt that you have a Killbus before I do

Burning Falcon is a legit cool design. I don't know who any of these guys are yet, but I still got two working eyes and that suit is premium. Also, a six-box set is a welcome change for this month's SO-DO.

And that Killbus was so cheap, relatively! Not to pour salt in the wound!

I was going to hold off on shipping this till next month, but what the hell:

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but I've seen some Transformer pick ups here and there.

Can anyone recommend a nice 6-inch Soundwave figure? I really like the masterpiece, but its too big for my collection.

There's a heavily G1-inspired figure coming out later this year for the Earthrise line. That's only been teased, so it's hard to say how it's going to work in-hand.

There's a more Cybertronian-flavored one that came out in last year's Siege line. It doesn't really transform into a tape deck, so keep that in mind. But if you want a cool-looking Soundwave robot, it's a solid choice.

I'm a fan of the Titans Return Leader Class mold, but that's probably also going to be too big for you.

Hope this helps? (These were maybe not great answers. Sorry!)

If you don’t like the Cybertronian-flavor there's also an upcoming remold of the Siege-figure in a more Earth-like look. Since it's a leaked sample that one image is all we have though.

I can back up that the Titans Return version is pretty good aside from some gimmicky things pertaining to the "base" form.

Titans Return Soundwave is a big chonky boy and he's far more fun than I ever imagined.
