Seibertron.com Exclusive Report: Tokyo Toy Show 2010

Seibertron member Diem was fortunate enough to attend the final day of Tokyo Toy Show 2010. Here's what he has to say about the event:

I was worried that by the final day of the Tokyo Toy Show there would be nothing left to see. Thankfully, the place was still vibrant and exciting, albeit crowded and humid.



Tokyo Big Sight, the mysterious upside-down multi-pyramid of a building in which many anime, cosplay and toy conventions are held.



As you can see, it was pretty crowded. Even at the very end of the event, people were walking around with filled bags and tired families.



The outside of the TakaraTomy area was pretty Transformer-free, sadly.



Elite Guard Prowls were for sale at the event, but were selling out incredibly quickly. The Dreadwing and Smokescreen set had already sold out!



The next wave of Takara Animated figures were already up for sale, a week ahead of their store date. The Sons of Cybertron sets were unfortunately not present.



Revenge Of The Fallen Dead End was a limited edition figure for Japanese customers of ToyHobby last year. The unsold figures were being sold at the event.



There was an excellent Optimus Prime costumed guy wandering around and taking photos with kids.



We've already seen pictures of the Animated display and 2010 campaign figures. The colours on Takara Rodimus looked really, really nice.



Transformers: The Arcade Game(s)



Vol.4 of Takara's EZ Collection series was also available there. The series has some very attractive boxart



We'll be posting more about this series soon.



This leaflet was being given out featuring all the latest Takara Animated figures.



It appears to be Leader Class Megatron's in-package leaflet.



The other leaflet included various TakaraTomy products; this was the only Transformers-related item in there.

Well, that was about it for the Tokyo Toy Show. It was interesting to see this stuff first-hand and it's good to know that TakaraTomy are still pushing Animated hard.
