Third Party company Dr. Wu, via their Weibo account, is giving us another product update. This time they have shown the prototype images of their Dr. Wu DW-P51 Chatter (G1 Beastbox & Sqwaktalk).
These are new cassettes planned to go with Siege Soundwave and based in the G1 Beastbox & Sqwaktalk cassettebots. Pretty good updates of these characters and to make things even better, they can combine in Sqwakbox like their G1 counterparts.
Interested in these new cassettebots for Soundwave’s army? Pre-orders have started to surface in our sponsors links below with an expected release date in January 2021. Click on the discussion links below and share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Sorry for late response. I must have missed this post. Mine did not come on a sprue.

Pretty much, these days. KFC (Keith's Fantasy Club) made their own, MP-scale version of Squawkbox some years back, though I don't know how easy it is to track down now.

Ah, good to know. I guess Dr. Wu is the only one making these cassettes?

These are sized for Siege/WFC Soundwave, not MP. So while they'll technically fit, they'll rattle around in there.

I might get these for my son who has the KO MP Soundwave. But, I would like to konw, will these cassetes fit inside the MP Soundwave?
I'm leaning towards getting the black version, and the regular version too.

Are they the same pair as mine? If you have the opposite side missiles then perhaps we can trade one each, lol…
By the way, did your weapons come on a sprue???
Psychoshi
My copy did the same thing as yours. Same duplicate guns.

Ahh I see… Thanks for the clarification it was driving me nuts. On a side note I recently purchased this figure and noticed that my weapons didn't come on a sprue… The figure was unopened to my knowledge. I definitely have the newer version so that's most likely why they're not on a sprue which in my opinion is another improvement over the previous version.
Quick question… Did your DW-E05 toy accurate version come with weapons on a sprue? I ask because mine did not come on a sprue and I just recently noticed that I have two same sided weapons. Dr. Wu should focus more on QC issues like this because it takes too long for these figures to arrive from China. Bummer…

Much like the toys themselves, there is only a very slight colour difference.
The new release version of the box is printed with slightly darker shades of purple and green.
I only see the darker purple in strong light, like in my lightbox, but the difference in greens stands out clearly to me as being more turquoise than spring green.
Here are some side by side comparisons.
The first release is on the left.
The new release is on the right.

Here is the bottom of both boxes, showing that none of the information has been changed.

Actually he has a nose it's just under his face mask…
So how do you know which version you're getting??? I haven't seen any boxes that indicate that it's a different color version. Every box that I've seen says DW-E05/DW-E06 but none say DW-P51… Is there a difference in the packaging???

Thanks for the info! Just ordered one, it should pair well with SG Blaster

I got mine from TFSource back in October after getting tired of waiting for TCP (who, a year and a half later, still didn’t get them). I got the black ones from ShowZ.

Received mine beginning April 2021 from Action Robo. Order placed in January 2021.
Bought all 3 colors but regretted it. Should have bought 2 of the normal version, one for combined form and one for the separate bots, and skip the black and SG version. Don't really have a connection with the black and SG version. One of those spur of the moments descision.

Uncle Billy has the SG one on eBay. I ordered a set from him a month ago and got it within 2 weeks, so his is not a preorder.

I’ve had a preorder for the SG version for a year and a half now, and every month it just gets bumped back. Has anyone gotten theirs?
I haven’t been able to find one anywhere else either. There’s a seller on eBay that has 4 but it’s listed as a preorder.
Kaleb Hart
Thanks guys , I actually pre-ordered them fom ShowZ yesterday
NemiMonkey
Uncle Billy has 3 of the new set up instock on his ebay store for $38. A bit high compared to showz but remember your still paying shipping even though it does say free shipping on ebay.

Ah, well, that's bad. They should keep a closer eye on orders that fall through the cracks and should communicate more with those of us who have badly past due preorders.
Thundershot
As far as I know, TCP never got the colored ones. I had my preorder for a year or so before I gave up.
