[griffin]

These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in DECEMBER in Japan, as well as in Asia (most Japanese Transformers toys are also released through Hasbro Hong Kong).

These monthly lists are archived on the Transformers Checklist here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=451984#post451984) if you need to refer to these listings later (if anything is found out later, these monthly lists won't be updated after their month ends).
Some recent listings for reference...

Looks like it will be a race to see if my Defensor from RK or my Devastator from PC get to me first. So excited to be getting these two.:D

[Zippo]

When did Devy's release date change?

[griffin]

When did Devy's release date change?

About a month ago it was confirmed, from suspicions a couple weeks before that.


Also note that most of the Q-Transformers have just been delayed as well, including all of the regular December ones, and the Decepticon 3-pack
(which are only a reissue, but might have been a good catch-up for those who missed them first time).
:mad:

[griffin]

Two more of the RID Minicons have been listed as freebies in Japan for December - Ratbat (http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/12/11/takara-tomy-ratbat-minicon-campaign-306652) (free with purchases at TakaraTomyMall) and Velocirazor (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/1057044-tru-japan-velocirazor-micron-campaign.html) (free with purchase at ToysRUs).

(Sawback, Beastbox and Divebomb were the November freebies)

[ampoldj]

Both MP Road Rage and MP Clampdown will be release 26th December :D
May be Red Bee will tag along

[Megatran]

Did anyone get their order for QTC-05 'SnoopDogg'?

Was suppose to be released on 19th December (Saturday).

[griffin]

Mine came in to HLJ on saturday.

[griffin]

We now get a look at the HK Collector Coins (http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/12/21/masterpiece-red-bumblebee-clampdown-road-rage-collector-coins-307041) that will come with the Hong Kong release of this month's three Japanese Masterpiece toys - Red Bumble, Clampdown, Roadrage.

Also, some in-hand images of Roadrage (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/more-inhand-images-takara-tomy-transformers-mp26-road-rage/34434/)... looking mighty fine.

[ampoldj]

Both MP Road Rage and MP Clampdown will be release 26th December :D
May be Red Bee will tag along

MP Road Rage and Red Bee is out with some Asian retailers via Hasbro Asia with their coins but looks like Clampdown is no where yet to be found. No release date changes though from Takara Tomy so may be these follow the exclusives like Bluestreak and TC which comes out same day for both Hasbro Asia and Takara Tomy

Anyone know if the decoy set for this month is a reissue of the decoys from the 80's? I just saw it listed for the first time and I'm interested.
