JANUARY 2021 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 JANUARY 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 2020 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...
DEC 2020 listing
NOV 2020 listing
AUG-OCT 2020 listing
JULY 2020 listing
JUNE 2020 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.

In China, another Lunar New Year Transformers coin has been revealed for this year, in a nice Soundwave box, and a coin that features an ox-themed Optimus.
As usual, no details on how it is released, or when. People seem to show off the photos, but not give too many details.

Scans of the current issue of Figure King in Japan... I don't think there is any new info revealed, but does have more photos of upcoming toys.
