everything is ready
introducing blaster he looks like an
innocent radio but transformed is the
powerful autobot communicator
today we're gonna be talking about the
latest walmart exclusive transformers
generation one reissue from Hasbro. This
is of course the Autobot Blaster
arch nemesis two Soundwave of the
Decepticons. Now Walmart is selling these
online and originally has the street
date listed as september 10th
however in Walmart fashion, Walmart gonna
do what Walmart gonna do, and they've
started to put these out early on store
shelves
but if you wanna go ahead and order one
now i'll put a product link down in the
description box below
or if you're looking to search your
local stores and get this sooner than
later i'll put brick sync information
down the video description box below
as well however less talking more
rocking
let's check him out shall we
taking a closer look up of the packaging
we have the classic g1
art style we got the sunburst for the
grid and everything for the autobots
nice little glamour shot of blaster
himself open window box display for the
figure and of course the labeling of the
figure itself with the transformers
autobot blaster in the bottom left-hand
corner
top of the box we have the brief
transformation instructions one through
five blaster is a very simple and basic
figure to transform so you don't need
anything crazy
as far as instructions up top of course
we have the iconic transformers more
than meets the eye
on the top of the card fan and then
along the side we have a nice little
picture of him
in robot mode as well as back into his
original ghetto blaster boom box
on the back of the card we have the
amazing
space fight battle going on between
dinobots and secticons and i just really
hope this is foreshadowing so
so maybe some future releases we get
from this walmart hasbro partnership for
these reissues because i would love to
have some nice
newish dinobots and insecticons and
things like that
bottom left-hand corner of course we
have this id card
and his power ratings and meters
a little brief little bio of blaster
himself
so inside the packaging of our beloved
hero we have a detailed instruction
manual of how to transform him from his
radio mode and 10 steps all the way to
his
fully kitted out robot mode with the gun
in fact he also does come like i said
with this amazing
electro scrambling rifle this thing is
five inches long
it is very impressive uh this is a very
intimidating massive weapon he's got
going on but you know blaster is an
intimidating foe so
gotta love him glad he's on our side
with the heroes and the autobots
looking at the figure itself this one is
actually a little bit more unique than
other previous walmart reissues because
this one already has all these stickers
pre-installed so that is definitely
different
i do appreciate that though because that
is one of the things i absolutely
dreaded every single time i picked up
one of these reissue releases
was installing the stickers but so far
so good they lined them up
fairly well i've really got no
complaints this one has maybe a little
bit of an overlap there
but overall whoever put these stickers
on they did a decent job
and i'm happy with it we also have this
nice little rub sign
here on the front you know get your
fingerprint on there good
and then lo and behold you reveal that
he is an autobot which is not you know a
big surprise giving the ginormous
autobot insignia on the front
he does not come with any tape
accessories which is a little bit of a
downside i do wish he did come with some
cassettes
the cassette door does open which is
great that's always one of the first
things to break on the original toys is
you know the cassette doors and the
buttons and things like that
but nice to see that it is spring-loaded
and you could
put in some cassettes if they were to
issue those out at some point in time
later on there's molds details
everything is going to be exactly as you
remember we got you know faux
on and off switch here we got our tuning
button
and then around back we also have the
output for the earphones here
and then we got the classic stamping of
the hasbro takara company 1984.
i believe the original one also had like
a 1974 date in there as well
so transformation very simple you're
just going to separate
that there fold his
arm pieces down or excuse me his speaker
pieces down
fold up there hold up there
this one's always tricky because i don't
have fingernails i might have to yeah
get my knife out just get his little
feet flap down
again pre-installed stickers which is a
blessing
sorry i've got his legs spin his arms
out
push those fists down
stretch the arms out articulation he's
got minimal articulation but that's you
know
a thing that it's always been with this
figure
all right and got his head spun around
great looking shot a blaster there
and let's go ahead and widen out and get
a bigger shot of him for scale and
perspective
and as you can see he's quite the tall
and opposing figure in fact he stands at
right about nine and a half inches tall
and you know shoulder width and
everything he's close to six inches
wide putting him up next to the g1 sound
wave
of course you can see the scale and size
different blaster was always the larger
of the two but he is definitely
an imposing force to reckon with so you
know sound wave i'm sorry but you're
gonna need a little backup
because uh blaster his gun is almost the
same
size of sound wave itself but overall
i'm very impressed with the figure
i'm happy to see again walmart and
hasbro continue with these
reissues and i really hope they go down
the line do things like dinobots
insecticons and all sorts of other ones
you know
i just really like the way they're doing
it with the old-school packaging
the old molds you know the stickers the
rub signs all the
nostalgic details that we know and love
29.99 is essentially the retail price
point
i think that's fair this one in
particular doesn't have you know
die cast parts and things like that uh
it would be nice if it did but you know
it's being true to form with the
original so
that makes sense 29.99 price point again
i do wish it came with a cassette though
at least one cassette that would have
been ideal
however you know we take what we can get
and that wraps it up for today's toy
