We can share for you images of the color prototype of the upcoming Robot Paradise RP-01 Acoustic Wave & RP-01B Acoustic Wave for your viewing pleasure.
These figures were originally announced by third party company Fans Toys, but now they will be released under a new brand: Robot Paradise. This is an impressive cartoon accurate rendition of G1 Soundwave and his cassette-bots for the Masterpiece scale. RP-01 Acoustic includes Soundwave and one cassette (red one) showing off a great sculpt in robot mode and a solid cassette player alt mode. It will also include parts for a toy-accurate robot mode. The other three cassette bots (Ravage, Laserbeak and blue one) will be released in a separate set RP-01B. Both Rumble and Frenzy include 2 extra heads and their respective pile drivers.
RP-01 Acoustic is scheduled for release by September 2021 and RP-01B Acoustic Wave is scheduled for October 2021. You can already find pre-orders via our sponsors links below. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Aw I gotcha! By the way, I finally opened up the XTB Ultra Magnus things I bought from you like a year or so ago. Been feeling the collecting itch again recently, lol.

Hi,
Well I don’t have the ability and software to model that kind of fluid curvature geometry like NuSupply is able to do.
I don’t have resin….so any “clear” PLA material I use won’t have the same clear/transparent effects like NuSupply.
Here’s any example (see link below) I did for DS Blaster….i made sound wave effects for his speakers.
I used clear PLA and even though it’s printed thin….its not really clear/transparent compared to the NuSupply effects. But in this application it works well giving a “sound wave” effect for Blaster’s speakers.

And the only thing I did for FT Blaster was to make a neck adapter to use FT Blaster head on DS Blaster

Have you ever considered doing a set like this? I’m sure yours would be just as good, if not a bit better?
Also, and apologies for tagging you, but have you ever done anything for FT Blaster?

I hate international shipping. So complicated. First time the postal clerk didn't tell me how to fill out customs correctly so it bounced back to me (3 shipments). Finally I got them back and resent, but it took forever before they finally arrived from USA to Canada, UK and Australia.

Well, my Nusupply effects kit appears to have been kidnapped, it got to the UK on the 30th then Appeared in Peru (???) on the 5th where it has stayed since…
I contacted Nusupply and they’re sending me another, hopefully this one gets to me, i really appreciate the quick response from them to resolve the postal problem

So THAT'S how Fans Toys fixed their Sheridans!! I wondered how those QC stickers worked

Mine are currently in the post, they got to Heathrow on the 30th, i haven’t had a tracking update since so I assume USPS has handed it off to a UK courier and they’ll be with me next week. I got this and the Outrider effects kit for £47 shipped in the 1 hour 40% off sale

You're doing it wrong. That big ass QC sticker is meant to wrap around everything once you have the parts fitted and voila! Everything works

Reminds me I need to actually test my set of effects…

This looked very promising but I wondered about the quality and execution. Thanks for the feedback.

It is really good looking for pictures.
I'd wanted the set from a while and had seen some high praise on the forum and on socials so I thought I'd go for it.
The quality is a disappointment but it does still work as intended at least.View attachment 30335794

Too bad the quality seems lacking, but it looks really rad though!
Craigmcgowan1984
No they haven't the original black as been released 2- 3 times since I started collecting 5 years ago. In fact the one I got from PSX was the result of a petition then they released it two times after this.

My cassette effects from nusupplyfx arrived today and while they look good I'm not happy with the quality especially for the £50 price tag(this was with shipping).

None of the parts are very secure, especially the main base plate that sits in tape drawer, the extra clip attachment doesn't grip where it's meant to as the spacing is all too big. The pieces for attaching the tapes are also unsecured and once the tape is on you are relying on friction and balance to keep things together.

Ravage has two parts just for him, one for tape mode (I haven't been able to get any of the other tapes to stay in this part) and one for jaguar mode (I originally thought it was for frumble and plugged into their back see picture above)
Also a piece specifically for frumble bot mode that plugs into back of leg.

Their are also piledriver effects for frumble, these are good.

Now all the issues with this set could just be my batch as I have seen lots of posts for these effects that people are happy with them.
Still they look good and I can get them to work even if it takes more effort that it should.

I'll trade if you would like. I don't need the little ones that came with RP Soundwave and they've never even come out of the box.

I was concerned I was going to break so I held back, but I eventually just decided to use more force and it popped out. No issues.

Push in the top right corner, mine was so bloody tight, but it did eventually release.
See how Emgo does it at approx 21 minutes, that’s how I finally got mine out:

It's so good, MMC has resisted producing more of it in that original black colorway for about six years!

I'm having the hardest time removing the chest plate.
