APRIL 2020 Japanese and Asia exclusive items

[griffin]

These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in APRIL 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 2020 Transformers Checklist (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/27011) 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...

TakaratomyMall have listed three of the Cyberverse Deluxe toys for late August, as exclusives. Each is 2750yen.
They have been called Action Masters, with their own numbers, and not part of the Cyberverse numbering (as noted here (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/10/30/possible-first-look-at-transformers-cyberverse-racknruin-figure-399753)).
01 - Optimus (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810169925/)
02 - Megatron (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810169932/)
03 - Shockwave (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810169949/)

They should be the same as the Hasbro versions and should have the Maccadam parts included.


Meanwhile, the freebie Legends Optimus toy that was to be given out to those people who did the fan exam in Japan earlier this year, has appeared online in a few photos (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/04/16/transformers-kentei-proficiency-test-exclusive-commemorative-optimus-prime-figure-in-hand-images-410038), giving us a look at how this redeco toy from the Bumblebee Movie ended up.

[griffin]

The Cyberverse Deluxe listings on TTM (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810169925/) have added a complete image of Maccadam, and all of its parts.

Another hobby magazine in Japan (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/04/28/figure-king-no-266-scans-super-megatron-netflixs-war-for-cybertron-earthrise-studio-series-cyberverse-masterpiece-arcee-410607), and the Transformers pages feature the Super Megatron toy.
The other pages show various toys we already know about, including Arcee, but it still doesn't have a release date yet.

The Japanese TV-Kun Magazine is releasing with its May issue, an exclusive bonus Legends Bumblebee toy (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/03/31/tv-kun-magazine-exclusive-thunder-spark-bumblebee-image-409150), which is a slight redeco of the Bumblebee toy they gave out in 2011 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2011/08/01/telebi-kun-magazine-exclusive-clear-cyberverse-bumblebee-pics-173021).

The Thunder Spark Bumblebee (freebie?) toy with the May issue of the Japanese TV-Kun magazine is now out, and someone has posted up photos of the toy (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/04/28/tv-kun-magazine-exclusive-thunder-spark-bumblebee-in-hand-images-410670) in both modes, the box and the magazine issue it comes with.
