We have some good news and bad news. The good news is that two new Takara exclusive Transformers figures have been unveiled. The bad news is that they will be very hard for people to obtain as they are linked to a national level promotion.

The figures revealed are Transformers Studio Series SS-EX Nemesis Prime and Kingdom KD-EX Burning Optimus Primal, who is based off of the Burning Convoy deco we've had before for Primal toys in Japan.

These two figures are tied to a promotion where you can buy these toys when you buy a ticket for the Rise of the Beasts movie through Loppi for a total of 7330 Yen. The promotion is from June 1st to August 3rd and the toys will be delivered after, January 4, 2024. You can get more info on that here.

Japanese fans can bypass this for Primal who should also be available at the HMV website (wow HMV exclusive, takes me back) for 5940 Yen.

No news for any release outside of Japan, though they may be available on e-bay or through collector shops in limited quantities like previous promotional exclusives (remember Transformers Adventure Dogfight?).

That's awesome that Funko was able to remold a My Little Pony mold for Rhinox.

Exactly my thoughts too. Even the pose is MLP.

Could've at least change to a front-facing, charging pose... It's what we've seen in every trailers so far!

Why did they have to go and call Burning Convoy a Kingdom figure? Now my WFC collection is no longer complete! :BANG_HEAD:

Hopefully it turns up on Pulse or someone like BBTS gets a few in...

My Little Rhinox is kinda cute. :lol:

There was already a knockoff Nemesis Prime that's been out for years, looks better/built better IMO, and only $13, so...

A K.O will never have the same worth as an original in a collection.

I bought it. Instant regret. He was so loose, he couldn't stand up with his legs bending at the knee, falling tonthe side and hips so loose. Pieces about fell off. Looked good in box. Super glue couldn't help.

That's just the hosted reseller syndrome.
Walmart and Amazon does the same.

But I wonder...

WHO BUY FROM THESE OVERPRICED LISTINGS?

True. After seeing they made the stranger things Eddie funky, target exclusive that went for over $100, I was tempted just in case. I know better but still... lol

Grandparents, people that can't be bothered to shop around, and people with more money than sense. What really kills me is when I see something listed by TFSource and I know it's cheaper on their site.

I see people brag about it on Facebook, that they make enough that they don't have to worry about paying extra. They don't realize that paying those prices just encourages more scalping.

Sorry to hear that. My copy was perfect though, the plastic felt more solid than the OG. The legs are actually tight and pegs into the tabs, unlike the original version. The only loose part was the gun really didn't peg into the trailer hitch hole, the hole was bigger than the OG's.
