MARCH 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 MARCH 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 2021 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...
FEB 2021 listing
JAN 2021 listing
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.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Just checked out the TTmall website, and Selects Abomimus has been pushed back three weeks to April 17th 2021

[griffin]

The full scans of this month's Figure King magazine (which we've seen some snippets of already), covering Kingdom Rodimus Prime and MP Skids.


Why does Rodimus have a sword?
I don't remember him having one in the cartoon... unless it was something in the Japanese cartoon.
These 1986 Movie homage toys have been pretty good at their details and accessories to relate to the 1986 movie, so to me, the sword looks really out of place.

[nalops]

The sword seems to be referencing this one from a 2013 comic so definitely a weird inclusion.
