AUGUST-OCT 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 AUGUST to OCTOBER 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...

A very late addition to the TakaraTomyMall site as an exclusive is the Siege Skywarp boxset (yes, another Siege toy to go with Ratchet that they are finally releasing in 4 months time).
This is the Phantomstrike Squadron set (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810172642/), which has Skywarp, Fracas, Shrute and Terror-Daxtyl, for release in January (same time as Siege Ratchet), for 7150yen (about AU$100).

Anyone know the best place to get the Phantomstrike pack online?

Coming out next month is the Generations Super Megatron toy, and the packaging will look like this (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/08/28/netflix-war-for-cybertron-voyager-soundwave-images-418206) (the usual boring black & white box).

And so that I remember when doing up September's listing - the first Galactic Odyssey set (Ratchet & Lifeline) will be released in Japan as well (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/08/28/transformers-war-for-cybertron-galactic-odyssey-collection-paradron-medics-2-pack-samples-japanese-release-announced-418262).

Good to know there’s a plan B if local retailers drop the ball...that’s the CHUG Soundwave I’ve needed since Classics began.

Some Earthrise exclusives that were announced a few weeks back to be released in Japan soon, have now been listed on the TakaraTomyMall website (as exclusives), for February.

ER EX-17 Alternate Universe Optimus Prime (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810174202/)
ER EX-18 Ironhide & Prowl (2-Pack) (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810174240/)
ER EX-19 Ramjet & Dirge (2-Pack) (https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810174271/)

A licensed item coming to Japan is something you won't see released by Hasbro - a water gun in the form of Gen1 gun Megatron (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/09/24/g1-megatron-water-gun-by-daiki-kougyou-420264).

It looks really nice, but not the sort of toy you'd want to risk carrying out in public, especially in America.

To be released in February (made to the pre-order numbers), for 7000yen.

Preorder up at OMP SGD$98 (https://ohmyprimus.com/dkkmgtg.html). Life size replica of a Walther P38. I love it, would go great next to MP36 Megatron. But alas... gunformers... here we go again folks! :p

Quite a few more Hasbro Store exclusives are being released by TakaraTomy in March next year (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/10/09/new-takara-tomy-mall-exclusives-pre-orders-for-march-2021-new-stock-images-421692), giving people another chance to get some of the rarer ones.

TakaraTomy have been tweeting out production samples of a number of toys newly revealed by Hasbro, to confirm that they will be releasing them in Japan as well at some point (no listings yet).
The Studio Series 86 figures (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/10/17/takara-tomy-studio-series-86-hot-rod-kup-blurr-grimlock-jazz-scourge-production-sample-images-422267).

I forgot all about this one, and probably glad I didn't try getting one at the time, as it would have been a little over au$100 to get shipped here.
Anyway, it has been released, and someone has shown off some in-hand photos of it (https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/04/23/g1-megatron-water-gun-by-daiki-kougyou-in-hand-images-432227).
It is a licensed item (not by TakaraTomy) and looks to be about the size of the Masterpiece Megatron toy.
