    Default NOVEMBER 2017 Japanese & HK excl toy items

    These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in NOVEMBER 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 Transformers Checklist (link to come) 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...
    October 2017 listing
    September 2017 listing
    August 2017 listing
    July 2017 listing
    June 2017 listing
    May 2017 listing
    April 2017 listing
    March 2017 listing
    February 2017 listing
    January 2017 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)

    The TakaraTomyMall website is still saying that the exclusive God Ginrai boxset (with exclusive junior heads) is being released November 25th, but customers have apparently been getting emails to let them know that it has been delayed a week, and will be released December 2nd.

    I really wish I had the type of income required to buy that set just for the Headmaster Jrs.

    Tell me about it... I would only be wanting the heads too, but there is no way I would get the two big toys again, with just minor colour differences to the first release.

    This month's Legends toys should be released in the next day or two (depending on where you pre-ordered them from), and packaging images have been posted up... with a nice looking box for Sixshot - it's very reminiscent of late 1980s packaging, but if they were going for that retro look, I think it should have been done in purple like the original Sixshot box.

    By the end of the day, they were released by HLJ... and here are some images of the "redeco" Masterpiece Sideswipe (which comes with three pairs of piledrivers - the two sets from the earlier release, and a new set).
    No comparisons to the older toy yet, to see if there is much difference between the reds and other colours.

    It looks like just the Japanese release was delayed a week (December 2nd), and the HK stock was still available/released on time (November 25th).

    Scans of the bio cards and mini-comic from this month's Legends toys.



    But be warned - there are some things in the Doublecross mini-comic that are just wrong... like, Kiss-player type of wrong.

    A photo from a HK TRU store, with a very tall stack of the God Ginrai boxsets.

    And a gallery of photos of the God Ginrai boxset, including heaps of comparison photos with the original releases, and of the two bonus Heads (junior Headmasters).

    A scan of the mini-comic that was packed in with the toys (in Japanese).
