    If TakaraTomy cancel this toy because of Western Markets being blocked, it will certainly prove that they take into account non-Japanese sales and markets with the toys they release.

    If the changes don't improve the issue the Tobacco company has, they should just go back to the original deco.

    They won't though

    I wonder if it is worth finding out if these would be a problem in Australia... as it might then put it on their radar, and end up having the toys being seized by Customs if they put it on their x-ray hit-list.

    I would be quiet about them honestly and I guarantee it's not a problem until someone spill the beans. This is not a ban item in honesty people do have toy cars with Marlboro decals. And I just bought Marlboro decals so it should not be a problem unless you want it to be by discussing it with authorities .

    I was totally skipping this MP, but now it's looking like this release is going to be so rare it's making me kinda wish I had ordered him from Japan along with everyone else

    Please guys the toy is definitely not a problem, it is one when someone starts questioning. The problem with the US was indeed someone from the tf forum made a deal about it. It is of course Marlboro duty to do something to show that they do care.

    Same thing here, if you going to open the can of worms then I expect the whole product to be cancelled. We seem to follow what US does.

    This toy is going under the radar , please don't question about it.

    I'd buy multiple Plain Packaging Exhausts - one for each health warning.

    Anyway, he's still showing up as available for pre-order on both Amazon Japan and TakaraTomy's website.

    When I used to work for one of the two main grocery chains and it was my day for picking cigarettes for the stores, it was like looking at a set of trading cards... and I would often look out for any new ones and read their descriptions, just for the morbid curiosity.

    Wouldn't Phillip Morris' legal team already be aware of Takara's intent to distribute locally & worldwide anyway?
