Toy Line: Unknown
Sculpt Name: Soundwave
Color: Pearlescent pink (?)
Collector's Note: Bootleg of my favourite line of minifigures: Transformers Decoys. This kind of bootleg series used japanese figures (the numbers on its back are the japanese ones) as molds and seems to be defined by its pearlescent colors, because I've seen other sculpts in pink, wine, green and yellow all with the same shiny effect.

Very nice. It looks like a Yolanda figure actually, haha. Is the plastic rubbery or firm?
A tiny little bit rubbery than MUSCLEs, but it's pretty close!
I currently live in Japan, and I have a gold Optimus Prime similar to this one. It came with a can of coffee I bought around the time Transformers 2 came out here. I hope that helps a little.
Yes, excellent info! I'd love to see a pic of the figure you have. What was the brand name of the coffee? Thanks!
They came with Suntory's Boss Raibow Mountain coffee. I found a rather thorough rundown of the promotion. It's all in Japanese, but there are plenty of photos. Sadly, it looks like your Soundwave came from another series. Anyway, enjoy!
