JANUARY 2018 Japanese & HK excl toy items

[griffin]

As noted in the HLJ Dealer topic, the January items have been released, which includes the two Masterpiece reissues and the three Legends toys (Clones, Blitzwing, Overlord).
Some in-box images of the Legends toys can be seen here... and out of box images should be soon.

The reissue of Metroplex should be out any day as well.

Out of packaging images, and the included mini-comic.

More out of packaging images of this months JP Legends toys, including some comparisons with Gen1 Clones and the TR Shuffler (with the black redeco Bigfight that was released with Legends Blitzwing).

It also includes some photos of a super-sized Overlord figure, made from two Overlord toys, or with a Skyshadow in place of the second Overlord toy.
This combiner feature is probably more of a fan-mode idea, that the fan-artist who does the Legends mini-comics probably added in after playing with a couple of Overlord toys... as it doesn't appear to be an officially documented mode by either Hasbro or TakaraTomy (unless someone posts up scans of the JP Overlord instructions and this combined mode is actually in there).

Scans of the mini-comics for the Clone Bots and Blitzwing have been posted here, but still in Japanese for now.

Still no box pics for LG EX Metroplex? A gray and white big box like most EXs doesn't seem a good display

None of the lewd stuff we've seen in previous comics this time around. Hmm.

Oh, I was hoping for more T&A. J/K

Anyone know an exact date yet for LG-EX Greatshot and MPM Barricade?

Kinda want to know when I need to have my pennies all saved up for them by.

Someone has finally posted up scans of the Metroplex mini-comic. Not translated yet though.

Anyone know an exact date yet for LG-EX Greatshot and MPM Barricade?

The release date has now been added to the TTM link for Greatshot in the first post - March 31st.

Barricade is still not known, other than it is supposed to come out in April. (it hasn't been listed on the main JP online stores that I check)

Barricade is out now in Hong Kong according to RK and Robotoybase. He appears to be a TRU Exclusive so maybe that's why the JP retailers haven't listed him.
