Nothing much sensational, as it features upcoming items that have been revealed for some time now. But the pictures are nice to look at (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/figure-king-december-2013-scans-178870/)...
Transformers Cloud (Guardians of Time)
TFC-A-01 Optimus Prime (actual name in Japan - not Convoy)
TFC-D-01 Megatron
Pre-orders are at Ehobby for 5940yen (about AU$66) each.
From what I can read (so could be wrong) the pre-order period is from November 22nd to January 6th, and the toys will be released in May.
(that seems like a long time to wait for just the first toys of a new "Series", as one-off items can have that sort of wait time because they aren't relying on momentum of interest to sell more)
(these are noted as being 30th Anniversary figures, so could end up being two of the "30" toys)
Kabaya DX (3 sets - 525yen each (about AU$6) in December)
1 - Overlord (12cm)
2 - Blacker (black) & combiner bits
3 - Laster (yellow) & Braver (red)
(the three figures in boxes 2 & 3 combine to form Road Caeser - 15cm)
Kreo
3-pack Bucket (Optimus, Jazz, Bumblebee - same as Hasbro bucket)
Combiners (Wave 1) - Devastator, Predaking, Superion, Bruticus
Microchangers (Wave 1)
Fan Choice Voting Results (with photo of original Star Saber toy)
Masterpiece MP-19 Smokescreen (out in December - 6825yen (about AU$75))
Generations
TF28 - Starscream/Waspinator & Megatron/Chopshop (out in December - 3782yen (about AU$42))
TF29 - Sandstorm (out in December - 5460yen (about AU$60))
(Chopshop is brown instead of orange)
TF32 - Minicon Team (out in March - 3129yen (about AU$35))
TF33 - Armada Starscream (out in March - 3129yen (about AU$35))
(Starscream has a lot more white on it than the Hasbro version... like the original one)
