Well boys, I'm biting the bullet on FT Soundwave. I'm not a fan of the price but I grabbed my old MP Soundwave off the shelf after nearly 5 years of not touching him and after handling him again, that was the deciding factor. Aesthetically, he does it for me because I loved the old MP-10 era hybrid aesthetic but damn, his articulation did not agree well. Hips have next to no forward and back and inn order to get any outward motion, you need to pull some pretty awkward shit to make it happen without snapping the thin little twigs holding his hips to the joint. It's the only thing that bugs me but shitty hips is a pretty significant issue so it's time to replace him. Really glad FT did at least update Acoustic Wave instead of resting on a nearly decade old design, and the fact that he comes with toy accurate parts is good. I do wish they just plain did a toy version though with darker blue and silver instead of white but still, hard to not see it as an overall improvement. I'm skipping the tapes though. They don't look that great and I'm happy enough to just stick with MMC's. I don't really need them to fit in his chest.
