AUGUST 2019 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 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 2019 Transformers Checklist 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...
July 2019 listing
May to June 2019 listing
January to April 2019 listing
December 2018 listing
November 2018 listing

Dates and details can change at any time - Approximate yen prices listed are just a rough guide to their retail price in Japan.
Links were active at the time they were first added and are only there for reference/proof of details - I do NOT endorse or promote any of those businesses.

A McDonalds Happy Meal promotion in Japan starts tomorrow, with an "all stars" grouping of toys from several TakaraTomy toylines, including Transformers (obviously)... with the Transformers offering being a water-squirting Optimus and water-sensitive Autobot Logo target.
Unfortunately the demonstration photos make it look like Optimus is peeing, based on where the water comes out.
