My PO on Amazon Japan went through shipping was around $40 which is normal for something this size.

Yuck

Keep in mind that I always go for the slightly faster option.

Hope that's worth the extra $80 (minum, could be more) tariff on top of that.

Emerje

Nope, got the order in before stuff went sideways.

Did it already arrive? I know people that have already been charged $80 from Amazon Japan shipments last week.

Emerje

It's not due until October.

Oh, then it doesn't matter when you placed the order, it's the ship date that matters. DHL will email you a bill for $80 when it ships.

Again Wild King W is here to keep this series alive.

First ever Hippo Transformer and a dino car.

WKWB-05 Energy Beast Cobaltwing
WKWB-06 Energy Beast Plant Hammer

WKWB-08 Energy Beast Elekivise

Ok, I'm really starting to feel the itch with this line now... Though it's good I can pick and choose, when I make the list of animals used. I'm pretty sure the hippo will sell out quick, and we haven't seen a Quetzalcoatlus all that often I think, even though it's the standard "Pteranodon backup" now.

[Sabrblade]

And this is actually a sequel line to Wild King, called "Transformers: Wild King W" (that's "W" pronounced "Double" like in Kamen Rider W).

[megatran]

That has to be the most malnourished hippo. I guess you can call it Hungry Hippo.

Weird that the Giraffe head has a gun mode, but literally the only place it's shown with the barrel folded out is this image.

It's not really a gun, on the original version it was a lightning rod.

So that's what Geoffrey is doing these days after the closure of TRU stores.

I'm sure it has some other use on this one like a flame thrower or whatever. The point is it's a feature of the figure that isn't called out anywhere on the box or stock photos of the figure itself.

To be fair, I think it was like that on the OG toy.

So are we going with Unigiraffe or Girafficorn? I like Girafficorn better, myself.

I really hate how expensive it is to import these, cause I would try out that Rexblade if he wasn't so much money.

I hear ya. Besides being expensive, Amazon Japan charges in advance.

What started as a teaser has been fully revealed thanks to the Takara Tomy Mall. The Wild King WKS-05 provides an incredible homage to Energon Optimus Prime. This time instead of connecting with four drones, he is armored by 5 translucent Energy Beasts- Lightlong, Ignite Leo, Hydrphant, and Sky Report. This release will add to the Tomy Takara March releases, however the pre-order window closes on November 11. This item is a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive and will be made to order.

[Sabrblade]

The name of the set is Transformers: Wild King WKS-05 Optimus Link Prime & Animal Tribe 5-Type Wildocking Set

They couldn't have shorten the name any shorter.

[Big Grim]

While I generally don't give a monkey's about this range, I gotta admit, I kinda adore that Energon Prime homage.

I like the colors on Optimus a whole lot more than the standard release (to be fair, never was a fan of the yellow windows), but the clear Beasts... getting scary there with the breakage stories.

[Quantum Surge]

He needs his own Prime Force asap
