NA Newage Toys Scaramanga a.k.a. G1 Transformers Soundwave

 Wanted to buy the Pocket Toy version but in the end decided on this. Did not choose the Magic Square version as (1) the back of the microcassette recorder mode looks very incomplete (2) only include 1 (blue) Rumble and 1 vehicle which I don't really like.  And because NA version is smaller, the cassette minions look cuter. Quite a nice figure, and the only nitpick is the sub-elbow joint which is also the extender-arm joint gets loose easily after a few transformations.

I don't like the shoulder cannon/rocket launcher to be too far out. So I used a Tamiya pin-socket, trimmed and and (epoxy-)glued it to the shoulder cannon/rocket launcher, painted black, and super-glue as clear coat to protect the black paint from scratched off. Soundwave looks better to me now. Comparison figures are Hot Soldier Soundwave and Oversized KO G1 Soundwave ("... Because it's Precious~~~ !!!!!! ").
