The Soundwave-inspired J Balvintron figure converts into cassette player mode in six steps and features deco and details inspired by J Balvin, including packaging featuring his rainbow colour scheme and smiley face icon.
The figure comes with two mini cassette figures, with deco inspired by his albums Energia and Vibras. The Energia Buzzsaw converts to condor mode in four steps, while the Vibras Stripes converts to tiger mode in three steps.
