Very very VERY late with posting up this, it's almost missed it's month... but fortunately there wasn't much out this month in Japan... with just one(!) general release toy for the whole month.
These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in JANUARY in Japan (as well as in Asia as most Japanese Transformers toys are also released through Hasbro Hong Kong).
These monthly lists will be archived on the Transformers Checklist (link to come) if you need to refer to these listings later (if anything is found out later, because these monthly lists won't be updated after their month ends).
Some recent listings for reference...
