The first one (Tie Advanced / Darth Vader) isn't out yet (comes out in March), and it was part of the March JP toys topic (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=24812)... but the second one (Millennium Falcon / Han & Chewbacca) has now had coloured images leaked (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/29/star-wars-powered-transformers-millennium-falcon-color-images-357422), showing us both modes and the two figurines with it.

The release date for the Falcon is yet to be revealed.

Hopefully this time Chewy won't shatter when I try to play with him

Falcon looks great! Not quite sure on the bot modes.

HLJ has just listed the Millenium Falcon on their site with official images (https://hlj.com/product/TKT97495/Act), for a June release, at a price somewhere between AU$140-180. :eek:

A promo video of the Millenium Falcon toy(s) is on the TakaraTomy website (http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/starwars/cat37/#transformers_movie02), and there was also an interview with one of the designers (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/21/takara-tomy-designer-takahiko-shirai-interview-star-wars-powered-transformers-millennium-falcon-359852).

It looks like the second Star Wars toy is now out in Japan (Millenium Falcon / Han & Chewbacca), and a nice gallery of photos can be seen here (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/06/22/takara-tomy-star-wars-powered-by-transformers-millennium-falcon-packaging-and-in-hand-images-366073).


There's some nice sculpting on the spaceship mode, but like the first version of this toy concept, I think the robot modes and heads are the less impressive elements.
