Honestly, who in their right mind would buy that repaint??? It's pointless! I don't understand a Halloween version out of EVERYTHING ELSE! I mean, they could have done a different incarnation of Micky for a repaint, similar to the black 'n' white one, bu this is just...wtf? lol

You know... strip the paint from this guy, and it would actually make a decent Mickey/Huffer mash-up.

And that's about the only positive thing I can say about this. Well, more money in my pocket!

I like it, it's Halloween and Transformers, two of my favorite things. Unfortunately I can already tell it'll cost a crapload and a half, so I'll pass on it.

Hey Real Devastator, I'm assuming you can read some of that. Does it give a release date? I mean it's obvious it's legit, but I would like to know when this is showing up along with Disney Label Donald Duck and a poor mummy repaint

Ok, let me try my limited knowledge of japanese to translate this:

"(Title:) Dream collaboration (dream my ass, more of nightmare - RD comment), Limited Edition, preorder date: 14 July - 19-Sep, Release date: 23-Sep-09

(Main content): it is a dream collaboration between world famous character - Mickey Mouse & Transformer (And then mainly talk about this toy transform from truck to mickey mouse robot, the toy comes with halloween deco for the halloween season, long winded description abt the toy but nothing much really)."

Nothing about Donald Duck.....

Yup.

But don't forget that it also mentions Mickey's awesome "patapata" (flapping) gimmick!

Also, this will be available only through 7/11's in-store internet service, so this figure will be seriously scalped. Don't be surprised if it ends up being twice as much as the other Mickey-Robos.

Appreciated

My Japanese is crap, but I live here so I can pick up the contextual clues if not the linguistic ones.

Anyway, blahdy-blah, if you desperately want this guy please let me know and I'll do my best to pick him up.

Not getting one for myself though. The original is enough for me.

Turkeys flap too and we start seeing those around Halloween as well!
Coincidence??

Uh, the Steamboat Willy repaint was available at the same time as the original.
Color Version: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

B&W (Steamboat Willy) Version: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

As Steamboat was done in Black and White, it would be hard to add the Teal for a proper Nemesis release.

But really, if they want to do a Halloween edition then give us a Jack Skellington unit that changes into a hearse.
