    Default MAY 2016 Japanese & HK excl toy items

    These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in MAY in Japan (as well as in Asia as most Japanese Transformers toys are also released through Hasbro Hong Kong).

    These monthly lists are archived on the Transformers Checklist here if you need to refer to these listings later (if anything is found out later, these monthly lists won't be updated after their month ends).
    Some recent listings for reference...
    April 2016 list
    March 2016 list
    February 2016 list
    January 2016 list
    December 2015 list
    November 2015 list
    October 2015 list
    September 2015 list
    August 2015 list
    July 2015 list

    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.

    I've decided to list the Q-Transformers Grimlock and Seeker 3-pack as Cancelled, as they were initially expected for March, but now they don't seem to be listed anywhere reliable, nor are any more known to be coming either. It would be a shame if the Q-Transformers toyline was suddenly over, as it would be thanks to them relaunching the line and flooding the market with a big wave of toys that were mostly re-releases.

    The 6th Adventure Verses set is most likely cancelled now that we have a Legends Fixit in one of the two EZ packs, and the other two toys were expected to only be redecos or a new head.

    My wallet is going to hurt June - October.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    Skids is now out and some photos have been posted up, including ones with the Hasbro version.
    I like the darker colours of the Japanese version as it looks more like the original Skids toy, but I just don't get the pink... and it clashes too much for my liking.

    "LG-27 - Broadcast (Blaster) (Titans Return Voyager)", I thought this is meant to be a Leader Class figure.

    As the various Adventure toys were also released the other day, one of the more interesting ones has had a gallery of photos done up - Crazybolt, with Micron Ransack (instead of Hammer in the Hasbro release).
    It is also noted on the packaging that the Adventure toys in this new "season" of Microns, has on the packaging "Prime of Micron", similar to Hasbro's RID packaging currently having "Micron Weaponizers".

    And something that will be added to the July listing for Adventure will be the TAV52 Torrential Armour (Battlepack) Strongarm (with Sawtooth) and the TAV51 Hypersurge (Power Surge) Bumblebee (with Buzzstrike).
