No word yet, but I'm sure the question will be asked at next month's BotCon.
Something like, "It's a cool figure and we'd love to release it, and we'll do what we can to see if we can find a way to release it, but we can't say anything for certain at this time, so... stay tuned."
Stay tuned to what exactly? Answers like this are just un acceptable, I mean, how hard can it be just to say "No, sorry, you'll have to import that particular figure/case of figures since were not japan and thus have limitations that they don't which makes absolutely no sense since we work together to design the figures and could probably have them made here in the US as well but don't just because."
You're forgetting that a good chunk of the higher prices of Japanese figures for Western consumers is due to the4 cost of importing.MetroSUplex wrote:You ever get the impression that Japanese TF's are aimed at adults? I kind of figure that would explain much: I wouldn't expect kids to have to fork $30 for deluxe figures, so it must be adults buying these... no?

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:You're asking the wrong persons for making names Gaidōra is probably derived from "armor dragon", if you're looking for inspiration for a repurposing. Steelsaur maybe?

What is the name of this combined sword weapon?
Also, this is a slightly different configuration from the original release of these molds' Super Combo Weapon, the Leonid Tonfa.
Couldn't the 覇王 ("Haō") also be translated as something like "Supreme King, "High King", "Overlord", etc.?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:SWEET!

Sou and S.2 have just switched places, and the result looks more like a sword now. The name's a mouthfull though:
SanjouHaouKen
Thankfully I actually know those Kanji, and... you're not gonna like the translation. Accurately, it's "Sword of the Lord of the Third Power". Have fun trying to make it less clunky

I.E. - "Cubed Overlord Sword"?

I know the top micron is a repaint of Moon who came with Leo Prime, but just so I'm clear who are the other 2?
Edit: Nevermind, just realized they're Smokescreen and Swerves partners.

The microns look good though, hope they're not too expensive.

Devastator? You mean Bruticus?
I kinda like Bruticus, actually. Granted it's got its flaws, but considering how they even took the time to enable Scramble City-style combining, it's decent.
