Nice pictures! for his price point, I do wish he did do more. But he still looks good, and like you said, miles better than the previous SWTFs

Nice pics shaj! My interest in this toy is getting higher

[shajaki]

Thanks guys!

The more I play around, the more fun I have with him. I think he'll become more relevant when he's got some proper bros to hang with.

"Star Wars powered by Transformers Millenium Falcon (Han Solo / Chewbacca), on display at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2018, c/o @singgg4 on twitter."

Fellow Seibertronian shajaki has pointed us towards another image that had been almost missed in the flurry of excitement from Tokyo Toy Show 2018 over the weekend, featuring the Takara Tomy Star Wars Powered by Transformers toyline and its new Millennium Falcon mold!

I still cannot not see IDW Publishing's original character Anode in the supposed Han Solo facesculpt, but the addition of the crossbow and revamped packaging are a nice touch to the set, after the rebooted Darth Vader. Check out the image below, courtesy of singgg4 over on Twitter, and let us know what you think of the two scoundrel bots the ship turns into in the Energon Pub discussion boards.

So... it hadn't occurred to me... are the Darth Vader Tie Advanced and the Falcon to scale? also... I feel that Falcon really needs a good dry brush wash to pick all that panel detail out. Also a missed opportunity to do the Solo (Lando?) version with a bonus escape pod/bonus accessory. (though I'm sure these were in production before Solo was finalized).

Back to scale briefly... how big are these guys? I know they're not cheap.

I was wondering where the news for this guy(technically guys) were. Anyways, not bad. Definitely an improvement over the original in both bot and Falcon mode. Falcon mode looks really awesome and the bots look cool too. I don't think I would get it, maybe on sale, but that Darth Vader is a must have for me. I just wish his lightsaber was longer

That Falcon looks like it shat itself

STAR WARS IS DEAD!

to be honest the one from years ago looked better

But sadly crumbled. I have the old one, and while Han is alright, Chewy has his right arm permanently in Falcon mode cause his joints and hand GPS-ed right off, as did his one foot. Once I get this guy, that Falcon is permanently going in Falcon mode.

That all being said, This one is really quite cool, and I am super thrilled it will be here in a few weeks

[shajaki]

His release date is that soon?

June of 2018 was the only date I've seen

Got a payment request from amiami for the Falcon today, so he is out and available.

Also, just happened upon this video as I was perusing Takara/Tomy's youtube channel.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Thanks to a heads up from site moderator Cobotron, we have a new video advertisement to share with you for the new Star Wars Powered by Transformers Millennium Falcon as Chewbacca and Han Solo! The video comes to us directly from Takara Tomy's YouTube, and gives us a brief look at the Falcon mode, a step by step transformation instruction, and then a look at the robot modes showing off some poses. We still aren't sure what inspired the Han Solo head, but the faceplate looks pretty good alongside his faithful battle wookie companion.

It's also cool to note how different the transformations are between this new figure and the older original. Everything is entirely new, with apparently nothing really recycled from the first design.

Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I absolutely cannot wait to get this guy. I am so stoked

[shajaki]

Neat! Mine's paid for too

[Epsilon Delta]

It's funny that we keep getting these things that no one is really asking for (Street fighter, Star Wars, Star Trek crossovers), but not the things that people really clamor for. Even Prime 3.0 wasn't really high on people's list. It seems to me people are happy we are getting it (I am super hyped for it myself) but would rather have newer MPs. Same for things like the PotP Dinobots, happy we got them, just not the update that we were looking for. I think the Millennium Falcon figures look awesome and I like how they integrated both characters. I just feel it's a little odd they are doing all these other things while the main toy line (PotP) and the main(?) cartoon series (PotP) are lackluster. I hope the new trilogy coming out really has some good stuff in it.

This set looks incredible!!!

[shajaki]

This set looks incredible!!!

Something that came to mind, that makes this set really impressive: Falcon mode has ZERO kibble top to bottom front to back, and the sheer amount of paint apps is mind blowing.

the only crossovers with transformers i like is GI JOE the first crossover and wish they would have done more with toys like with marvel and star wars i get the idea of starwars and some of it is pretty neat but why does it need to be
with GI JOE its more feasible because they exist in the same universe
and now with Star Trek OMG why its illogical
