His figure is out of this world.

I just need a hashtag, and I doubt I'll ever see her. Canadian sources do not seem to be getting any new earthspark stuff.
This is why I hate these "de facto exclusive" situations. You might not find them in stores, and you definitely won't see them on the store website.
I'm hawking Amazon and EE for Soundwave, guess I'll add Cosmos to the search. I really like how they've kept the design "faithful" to his original, but changed things up by shifting the proportions around. He was always a bit of chonky boi, but I like how this iteration leans into that.
But, yeah, Earthspark has been winding down for the last year at this point, and I'm concerned that Hasbro is just going to let it what's left wither in retail limbo. And since it's not "Generations", I don't see any of these later figures as being a priority for alternative release venues, much as what happened with the, generally pretty solid (and sometimes better than Generations), Rise of the Beasts Core Deluxe figures. Even Entertainment Earth is pretty sparse on stocking new Earthspark, so I don't know if that speaks to Hasbro's distribution, or the fact Hasbro isn't doing much on the presale side since it's all "kids stuff".

"Hey, universe, can I find ES Soundwave?"
"Best I can do is..."
"Best I can do is..."
At least you found Hashtags...
Ah, I was just about to post this packaging pic I found indicating how the Cyberglow would look.
(the shading in that picture makes me wish they'd gone ahead and used black plastic for this so we'd have a black and glow green Megs.)

And just trailing his flail like he stepped on toilet paper...
Earthspark really deserved to get better toys and distribution than it got.
I didn't know those existed, have there ever BEEN any glow in the dark Transformers before...?
And Cosmos makes perfect sense when you realize a lot of the early Astronaut rations had peanut butter, and he's TERRIBLY allergic. I hope I can find one, that and the SkyByte shark care are top wants for sheer weirdness value, like the one-step Springload truck that turns into a frog a friend got me. There are some Transformers whose pure "???" value outweighs all other factors.

I think I remember some of the generation 2 stuff back when had glow in the dark bits, as was the style at the time. I know I had the little orange hotrod that sparked... I wonder what happened to him...
