    Default June 2022 Japanese and Asia exclusives

    These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in JUNE 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 2022 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...
    MAY 2022 listing
    APR 2022 listing
    MAR 2022 listing
    FEB 2022 listing
    JAN 2022 listing
    DEC 2021 listing
    NOV 2021 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.
    (posting corrections or additions are greatly appreciated)

    Monthly listings are done after the first week of the month, as that is when the TakaraTomyMall site is updated each month.

    The June listing is up, with the new items added to the TT site a couple days ago... which is the new Trainbot, two Studio Series (Galvatron, Thundercracker), and four Legacy (Tarantulas, Elita-1, Motormaster, Metroplex), along with Skyfire from last week (which FINALLY takes that out of the "Unknown date" section, as it has been sitting there since April 2021).

    The Generations book might be out now, as it is showing as out of stock at Amazon Japan. Unfortunately, this volume wasn't available on HLJ, so it is probably going to be really tough (and/or expensive) to track down... for those of us who have been collecting these books as a great "annual" of the year's toys.

    Some photos from the Transformers display by TakaraTomy at the Tokyo Toy Show, showing a number of 2022 toys from Generations, Studio Series and Masterpiece.

    HLJ just charged me for Shouki.
    The Tensegs were delayed to June, so it will be interesting if that drops too in the next few days.

    With Hasbro removing plastic windows from most of their new toys this year, in Japan the new packaging for Studio Series (and probably Legacy too) is a completely closed box without an opening or window.

    I cancelled my HLJ preorder for Tenseg Optimus Prime, but the Tenseg items did get released at the end of June, in accordance with the revised date on the TakaraTomy Mall site.

    The TakaraTomy Mall site has now revised the date for MPM-12 Bumblebee movie Optimus from "delayed" to end of July

    Good news. The cover art for the 2022 book is now revealed, and the release date is revised to 29th July.

    Both HLJ and Amazon JP are taking preorders now.

    Yeah, my Tenseg dropped in a few days after Shouki, so now both are sitting there waiting to be shipped... which I was going to do last night, but fortunately forgot, so that I can now add the GEN 2022 book to the pile. (I was worried that I would have to spend a fair bit on getting the book from Amazon JP through a shipping forwarder... but am really happy that HLJ picked it up again.)
    I just now have to wait another 3 weeks for the Trainbot and Optimus toys, so that I don't have the book shipping on its own (my next pre-order is for September, which is too far away).

    The cover of this year's Generations book, noted above -



    Scans of one of June's hobby magazine, featuring a lot on upcoming Masterpiece toys, and... a bonus sticker sheet, for those getting MP Raiden, as it includes shield stickers for Shouki, depending on what version you want (cartoon or toy I think).



    Also out at the end of June, people were getting their Masterpiece Starscream Coronation sets... which was something that customers of all three Masterpiece MP-52 Seekers had to apply for with their proof of purchases (in Japan). The set is mostly the same as the pieces that came with the original MP-11 Starscream, but with a modified cape attachment piece, so that it could fit to the new version of Starscream.
    Considering the expensive requirements to get one, I imagine that there would be very few of these sets produced, and most of them would be kept by those collectors who spent a lot of money and time securing one.

    Now that the Tenseg's are finally out, some images of them, including their packaging and the special Optimus toy that was included with one of them.
