This Does For Me What Kingdom Couldn't | #Transformers Takara Legends/Titans Return Blaster
The Soundwave mold of this toy that was released for Bumblebee was the toy that got me back into transformers collecting in 2018, after a decade of disinterest in the things. It’s neat to see the Blaster version, def was clearly the intended character for the mold - but as a Second First, that Soundwave will always hold a special place in my collection
This figure has aged like fine wine. I regret not getting it back in the day.
Always liked this figure and seeing the Takara version compared to the regular Hasbro makes me want to paint the Hasbro one up like this. But for now I'll leave him in his boombox mode, held in hand by the titan class Fortress Maximus lol
One of the things I like about this Blaster IS his size, since now with SS 86 Grimlock you can have Blaster vs Grimlock like the comics.
I prefer the Kingdom version. I like the boombox mode better, it looks less awkward and I prefer the new tapes...EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T RELEASED ANY FOR BLASTER ASIDE FROM CLEAR BLUE EJECT...HASBRO! I prefer not having a Headmaster and I get liking the visor if you're into the G1 comics but I'm G1 animated so I like the cartoon look better. The Takara release of this toy is colored better but I just don't like the aesthetics of this one over the nice, compact yet intricate Kingdom Blaster. To each their own I suppose.
I liked this toy when it first came out. I still do, but I feel like it's definitely the inferior toy compared to Kingdom/Legacy Blaster. I fiddle with Kingdom Blaster constantly, and I can't say that I was ever overly fond of transforming the Titans Return figure. Mine never quite held together tightly in boom box mode, and I always felt like the transformation had exactly the wrong combination of overly simplistic and needlessly fiddly to get into alt mode. The robot mode and base mode were quite awesome, but what I wanted from it was a killer boom box, and it never quite felt like that was delivered.
I wish the torso didn’t look so much like a torso in alt mode. Overall kingdom seems more solid/consistent, but I do prefer the robot mode on titans return much much more
I def agree. Kingdom as a figure is really good but TR really shines as being a toy.
While I much prefer Blaster's G1 Cartoon design compared to this, I will admit that this figure's Boom-Box Mode is really sick.
Toyhax's 'disco mode' stickers for the base mode really improve this figure
I have TR Blaster, and aside from the size, he always underwhelmed me. How he transformers, the plastic feel, the gap at the torso in boom box mode, the poor chest gimmick with the window always popping out, all just irks me. I'm not a huge Blaster fan, but the Kingdom/Legacy version despite being smaller and having less plastic just feels chunkier to me. It's obviously better engineered since it doesn't have to be a base mode and a headmaster too. TR Blaster not bad, but meh.
In boom-box mode, there are slots that you can plug specific plugs like a USB or wired ear buds
Dude that figure is actually so good. Unfortunately as of now I've only got the bbm soundwave but even still that figures like top 10 in my collection. (And the fact that it soundwave doesn't hurt)
Blaster was the first version of the mold.
I remember really wanting the Soundwave version of this mold, the standard release, seeing over and over when I went to some toy stores, but I could never afford it. I was always hoping for the eventual discount since it looked like no one wanted to buy it, and I eventually did get it. It has a special place in my heart after hunting for it for so long
This is an EXCELENT mold. Scale be damned. The Legends version is much better looking than the standard Hasbro. Maybe I should get the Reprolabels to "Legendify" my Hasbro.
Yeah I adore this figure. While the Kingdom one is better for scale and being modern, this is a really fun toy. I like to pretend the base mode is a club for Titan Masters with Blaster's little guy as the DJ.
The Takara Legends line is awesome and this figure is a great example of why. I definitely paid more than $35 for mine though but that was before the Kingdom one was announced!
Got this guy for my birthday and my only complaint is that now I have to wait and hope that they make more cassettes for him
I have this version, the hasbro one, and Soundwave and had no idea the titan master fits under the remote 😳 🤯
