Powerglide - Wonderfest Exclusive

[Saintly]

Powerglide looks to have a perfect transformation mode in this exclusive.
It is likely to be offered at the 2008 Winter Wonderfestival for 10000 YEN / 92 USD or 103 AUD (according to XE.com)

What?! OMG I want that! Do I have to go to Japan? It's perfect!

I saw this the other day. Its a very nice update of the original G1 figure.

However the mold of Classics Powerglide could still look better than that if it wasn't for Hasbro's Horrendous 'Hot House' paint job.

i am really glad you made this thead, this transformer along with jinzai other creations are frekin awesome, the accurate depliction of the g1 cartoon brings back good memories. Wheelie , octane and cyclonus are other creations. If i neva collected non-micro transformers these would be great additions

[Saintly]

could always purchase it "unpainted" and get stencilator to give it a proper coat of G1 paint :D

Doubt Jizai will have many left after Wonderfest. They sold out of Cyclonus and Wheelie at a Wonderfest only 3 or so years ago.

Hence... I have to go to Japan! :)

Dare I say it would be worth going, considering the entry to the Festival is only 2000 YEN (or 20 AUD)

Perhaps someone can organise a group trip? :D

You have to be there, early as, in the Am though coz the line to get in the venue is as long as Westfield Parramatta, 2 hours before the event opened. AND those earlier figs ( wheelie and Cyclonus) last time sold out within 20 minutes of the opening - Read it waaaaay back from an old blog from a TF collector in Phils who regularly attends... so you HAVE to be in front of the line!!!! He never even saw a glimpse of it :(

[Tober]

It's not assembled this time either apparently. So you can't blame them for getting the color wrong. :p

[Paulbot]

:( Sound like it's going to be impossible to get.

Wheelie's on Ebay but I don't want to spend $300+ on a custom Wheelie toy though.

[turtle boy]

whats the scale of these things? classics size, if so, i'm there.

[Saintly]

I should post a new topic, but Powerglide was a no-show at Wonderfest this year because JizaiToys were not present due to adverse weather conditions on the train service.

Wonderfest was a sad day for Jizaitoys.

They can't sell those kits now even if they get another "one day copyright" for the summer Wonderfest as they have "Tomy 2007" stamped already (the new copyright should be 2008).

[autobreadticon]

is that ultra magnus rovotech, wow those things are really detailed. Can it transform?

[Soundwarp]

Awesome simply awesome!

[Tober]

The Magnus and Shockwave are custom modification kits you can apply to Megatron, they are not made by Revoltech. :(

I'm sure it can't transform - none of the other Revoltechs do - including the Valks :(

[liegeprime]

What do you mean they cant re-sell them Tober? I didnt quite get it? Surely there would be tons of people who would buy the new powerglide kit... even if its not during the wonder festival. Online store mebbe? If they ever mass produced that I certainly would....KO or not I wouldnt care! :D:D of course I wouldnt be posting it here, heheheh.

Oh man that newly fixed Jazz face is sweet as!

[Tober]

They had a one day liscense from Tomy to sell Transformers product at the Wonderfest event. To sell it outside of Wonderfest without a license is illegal. I guess their best option now is to recast the copyright pieces and sell the kit at Summer Wonderfest.

[Saintly]

that one day license thing and copyright stamp for 2007 is just silly!

why would you go get a 2007 stamp when you were going to sell it at 2008??
