GenZhao at KO Toys, has recently got his hands on something a little strange. As you may (or may not) know, a blue Transformers Revenge of The Fallen Soundwave figure is to be sold in the Meeting at Nemesis three pack, revealed at Botcon this year. If you click here, we can see the Soundwave figure packaged entirely by itself.

RUMOR: Meeting at Nemesis Soundwave... Now Sold Separately?

RUMOR: Meeting at Nemesis Soundwave... Now Sold Separately?

GenZhao also writes this in his posting:

Here is a picture of a MOSC ROTF BLUE SOUNDWAVE TRU EXCLUSIVE, it is on a regular soundwave card (the picture of soundwave on the back is not the blue soundwave but the original grey soundwave)

It's recommended you take this with a grain of salt, as it could be anything from a pre-production mistake, to an actual release seen in some part of the world.

I could save some bucks if it's not a mistake

No twist ties? Fake.

I'm seeing twist ties around the hands and feet.

I'm going for fake. They would have come up with some name like "Deep Space Soundwave" or something like that. With a different back card piece thing and head shot. If this is genuine, I'll retract this but I want to see a pic of the back of it.

EDIT 1: Another reason I think it's fake is because I doubt Hasbro would take the only reason people are going to buy a $50 boxset and sell it individually.

Couldn't one have just repackaged this figure in the first Soundwave's packaging?

I'm getting bad vibes from this, however, who knows?

I'm going with fake here...is it just me or did anyone else notice something that looks like condensation along the to[ and bottom of the blister. I also looked very closely at where the blister would adhere to the card and you can definitely see white where the blister was possibly cut loose from card. I also think I see sotch tape on the side of the card...totally going with fake here. Also agree that there would be a new name for the figure.

Eh, I liked the grey Soundwave personally but I like this one to so when it comes out I'm totally grabbing myself the Meeting At The Nemesis set. I just wish it had the ROTF voyager Megatron rather than the first movie Megatron. Ah well, I still get the Fallen with it and I don't have that particular Megatron mold anyhow. Also: Soundwave.

Maybe it will be in both the Nemesis Set, and as a separate toy

it looks like a fake.... but it wouldve been cool to have one of these individually packaged.... well we dont know for sure yet, so....

GOOD ILL BUY HIM ALONE. I REALLY DONT LIKE THE FIRST COLOR SCHEME BECAUSE GREY IS A CRAPPY EXCUSE FOR REPRESENTATION OF METAL WHICH SHOULD BE SILVER LIKE SIDESWIPES PAINT JOB. WHY CANT THEY JUST GIVE THEM ALL SILVER, AND STOP PUTTING OUT GREY TRANSFORMERS LIKE THE FIRST MOVIE MEGATRONS. THEN THEY TRY TO SUCKER YOU WITH A "PREMIUM" FIGURE WITH THE CORRECT SILVER FINISH 6 MONTHS LATER...

Oh man this is great, now I can buy him without having to get a second The Fallen.

Guys if you look close enough, you can see the tape from where it was repackaged. Complete and total fake....oh but god wouldn't it be nice.

Not sure where you are seeing the supposed tape. I don't see it (of course the tape could still be there).

And guys, there is a precedent for this type of packaging. Look at the Japanese Universe versions of Onslaught, Powerglide and Silverbolt. They were repaints sold in packaging that looked like the original American versions. Why can't that be the case here? I'm just not so convinced it's a fake here.

This is a fake you can see a thin white line abouve the blister bubble. It was lifted then re glued.

Yeah, I saw that too and thought it could be fake. However, I checked some online pictures regarding the Soundwave figure. I've seen that same line before now. Heck, some bubbles can take quite a beating in stores. I don't think that white line proves a whole lot.

edit: My bad. Wrong pic.

I hope this is true. This version looks so much better and i dont have the money to get the nemesis pack. Also im sure alot of others are hoping its real too since Soundwave seems to be the rarest figure from the line so far.

If you look closely at the Head shot it looks like it's been digi bashed and the edge of the card looks like it's been opened and re-sealed :-?

I like it better than the cheap looking, grey plastic one - if this is real I'll buy one.

The real Soundwave's head is already blue, but this is still a fake.

Really hope that this would be true, but doubt it. Don't really feel like buying the TRU exclusive set just for the Soundwave, really don't like the ugly Fallen and kibble Meg. :sad:

I think its a fake, the twist ties look loose and there isnt the one that was around his stomach, it also looks kinda badly packaged. I hope im wrong but i really dont think this is true

Another nail in the coffin: GenZhao, the original poster, has said that's most likely a packaging error, as the back of the card still shows the grey Soundwave.

But something that convinces me is that under the conversion level, it says "Advanced Conversion". This is not present on the Preview Wave's packaging. I know this, I kept it.

Then you should know that the front is the same on all cards, only the inserts are different

Just show us the back already!

-_-. No. This packaging is slightly different. Granted, it could just be an entirely different figure's case or a genuine rerelease. But the little "Advanced Conversion" Statement isn't on the preview packaging!!!

Yep. And this would make that boxset pretty pointless.
