    Default JP & HK-excl 2015 Toys - review links, comments & official images

    This topic will include official images and links to any separate reviews of TakaraTomy and Hasbro HK toys released in 2015.
    You can post quick comments, photos or reviews here if there is no existing review topic (or you couldn't find one), or you didn't want to go to the trouble of starting one. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO START A SEPARATE REVIEW for something you want to feature in a separate review. A link to that separate review will then be added here if one is started.

    (this topic is only here to balance having the option/incentive of a full review or comments, without having the reviews section padded out with review topics that no one ends up using)

    OFFICIAL IMAGES that members here can use anywhere on this site are also to be added below. (insert the image by its web-address into any post here - but NO hotlinking of these images onto other sites without authorisation first)


    Items listed by release date. Approximate yen prices listed.

    Love the little Q-Transformers... don't love the price though (about AU$10-12 each before postage), or the difficulty finding them, which means makes it more expensive.

    The car modes are awesomely sculpted and well coloured, but the robot modes are terrible. The one redeeming factor is the "Gen1" Bumblebee having Volkswagon
    sculpting on the feet.
    I want to keep getting these, but 2 or 4 at a time means postage just makes them really expensive for their size and simplicity (they aren't very playable in robot mode,
    but great in car mode).

    The ten I have so far from the first two waves, on my display shelf...

    Just noting that if you are getting any of the massive first wave of Adventure toys, you can start a new review topic if you want, or just post your pics and comments in this topic.

    I managed to get all the redecos of non-RID toys except Swoop from HLJ, so am looking forward to getting them some time in the next few weeks to do up some group pics and comparisons.

    Swoop is the ONLY one I managed to get from HLJ, Roadblock was pre-sold out when I tried

    All but Swoop were in stock at the time of their release, as I only ordered them when Exhaust and Star Sabre came into stock... so they must have got in more of Roadblock, but not Swoop.

    Hmmm Roadblock is showing as discontinued now. I guess I'll wait for them to end up at BBTS, pay a little more, but bundle it with my POL...

    Yes it's gone now... and so are most of the non-RID toys that are JP-exclusives.

    Swoop will be one I'll track down later eventually, but not a priority.

    TakaraTomy have posted up transformation videos for all 17 of their First Wave Adventure toys, both regular and gimmick toys.

    so I finally got TAV Roadblock and Swoop, pretty nice figures.

    Roadblock is no surprise to me after Gen. Scoop, just a little more Construction-y but Swoop was a new one to me as I never had the original version. His wingspan's a little lacking compared to the recent AOE Strafe, but I like the cape-like profile in bot mode, along with the facial expression he looks quite regal.

    Some pics here:
