Probably because they two countries are closely related. They have
the same queen after all.

Yup,she is still on all my dimes,nickles, quarters, loonie and twonies and even my 20$ bill (the MAIN bill). And that is one of the main reasons I hope she outlives her son. Because if ever Prince charles is King, his face will adorn all my money and I wont know which side of my quarter is the moose

i'd count those as toys japan never got, at least not without imports.
Read the intro in the article when you can, you will see why the redecos were not mentioned yet.
By the way, which beast wars redecos do you like best?
The Fox Kids redecos i had in mind is Transmetal Rattrap. I thought the red looked better than his blue torso, he's also my favorite character. Fox Kids Rhinox comes in as a close second, the gray and red work quite well.
Thanks for the replies, I ask because I am at odds with the list that will be coming out in 2 weeks, which is this same list but decos and characters Japan never got rather than tooling they never got. One of my main entries was Primal Prime, because that's an obviously awesome Hasbro exclusive. But it turns out he did make it to Japan so I am mising one for that. The Fox kids redecos are interesting but I wonder if there is something more obvious I am not thinking of, where Japan got the mold but not in its best deco. T-Wrecks? Prime Dead-End? TR Quake?

That repaint was a US release too.
BUT, I had not chekced if that US release was also available in Japan in any way (like a USA edition). And it is. So, that mold did get to Japan without being imported. Good thing there wasnt a solo entry for him on this list. I will go and add another awesome basic figure to the list instead.

I felt confident posting this list now thanks to Big Powered's reveal since now that we know it is a retool of Black Shadow as opposed to Overlord, this tells me that this is how they are releasing Black Shadow's molding variation in Japan. Not saying it aint gonna happen that they release something closer to Black Shadow'smolding forever, but I cant keep postponing this list. I have had it since Combiner Wars, back when Takara was still making different releases from Hasbro.
