The Energon Pub

millionhero.jp- A new exclusive toy seems to be becoming available with the sale of the Japanese Transformers: Generations 2009 Vol. 1 this February 16th.

The exclusive toy is similar to the Botcon Mirage from 2007. This version features translucent white plastic with black highlights.

The other cool thing which we have learned is that the new Generations book is supposed to have brand new material featuring Takara Tomy's most recent Transformers products including designs and toy images from Alternity, Mickey Prime, Henkei and more. The first volume is set go on sale in February.

You can view the Million Publishing page here, and the promo page for the exclusive Ligier here.

Indeed this is a must own for me.

It hits me in 3 places...

#1) Mirage mold...awesome!

#2) Black variant...I need it

#3) Transparent plastic- one of my niche collections.


I'll get one, unless it's lucky draw. But it does not sound like it by the description.

Pass. Do HasTak have some sort of arrangement to never do a proper clear version of Mirage?

That is so mine.

I like that very very much. Has a nice fade in/out scheme. And just badass all over. I must have it!!!

Want.

sigh...

Clear plastic good.

Somehow that cleear plastic is perfect with that mold.

Hello Shattered Glass Mirage, assuming I can figure out how to get one.

Wow, that's cool - much nicer than that blue botcon one.

It's price will put it out of my reach, no doubt.

I think it's more that entirely clear plastic can become very brittle and fragile. Tomy (now part of Takara) found out with the 'Crystal' Zoids, Hasbro slightly less so with the 'Holotech' ones as none of them were clear white, just translucent colors.

Last time there was a mail away figure associated with a overseas book, the Emergency green deco Encore Rachet, BBTS managed to set up a pre-order. A pricey pre-order mind you. If I recall they wanted about $150.00 for it initially, now it's on clearance for $55.00.

Hahaha, I remember that thing... God, I laughed that day.

Not sure if I like the black and clear scheme for Mirage.

How do we get this? Anyone know? Do we have to sign up or subscribe for somethin?

I understand that, but... doesn't it look like the black parts are translucent? And how does that explain the goddamn chrome?

i'd get this if it was at least a 1/3 of the price of the awful coneheads (max price willing to pay)

see i justified paying for tc cause he's a seeker, but conehead nah

so love to get my hands on this dude

The chrome and the black parts seem flawed on this.

You shoulda bought the KO clear reissue. Authentic or not it's an awesome fig.

Looking at the web page, is the 2100 yen for the Magazine and then you have to buy the figure? How much is 2100 yen in US dollars?

Oh yeah, I like it!!
