>>9733517Full disclosure on the toy deco Soundwave. Only the silver and gold are metallic. The blue is a deep flat blue. The toon version is actually the one that has metallic blue but everything else, like the gray and yellow, are flat.
Now, all of that being said, does the metallic on the toy deco look good? Yes, it looks great.
Is he worth $70? Most would say no just because this is legends scale, and to that, is say it depends on what you value in your collection. The recent price hikes on legends scale are definitely out of hand but when it comes right down to it, if your collection focus has shifted towards it and you're too deep to back out, you don't have much choice and at least you still are getting a great figure.
As to
>>9733555's advice... It's not as glaring as you might think of you're going hard into NA, as they already do have a more toy-ish aesthetic to them to begin with, but they also do plenty of toy deco versions of many of their figures so if toy is what your want, they have you covered compared to MS who sticks more towards toon and sometimes metallic toon. I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other, just informing you of your options so you can better decide what you really want your collection to look like.
