Takara Transformers Encore Big Convoy Revealed at Wonderfest 2018 #ワンフェス #wf2018s

To this day, Big Convoy in a regular deco has never been released by Hasbro. Collectors who have held off on tracking down the original might finally give in to Takara's rerelease of the mold in their Transformers Encore line. As with every non G1 figure in the encore line, there is a major emphasis on a show accurate decos we never got, making all these Encore toys redecos rather than straight reissues. For those not in the know, Big Convoy is the leader during the Beast Era in a show that was only made for Japan, called Beast Wars Neo, and thus has no English name counterpart.

He turns into a Wooly Mammoth and is one of the most complex Beast era Transformers. He is also the first toy to be released with a Matrix accessory. Hasbro did release the mold as a black redeco and fun pub released it in a blue deco as Ultra Mammoth. We can see see this Encore release on display at Wonderfest, in Japan, right now along with the blue lucky draw version which is just there for reference purposes as the most recent release of the mold.

As with all Encore products since Takara's move out of G1, this will undoubtedly be a pricey release and we will give you more details when we have them. He is sure to have a nice box though.
