In Hand and Official Images of Transformers Wild King Wave 3 Toys + Preorders

I'm confused, are two of the three new Energy Beasts only available with the repaints?

Yes

Weird seeing Nemesis Prime as an Autobot. You'd think they'd have gone with a different name.

Also no US tariff on these since since they're made in Vietnam and de minimis (tax free under $800) still exists outside of China and Hong Kong.

So Black redecos of Prime and Megs instead of new Torsos... At least bring in Grimlock for all the new dinos

I'm betting the Autobot symbol's placement is to better make Nemesis a mirror image of Optimus, as it's placed on the opposite shoulder of Optimus's Autobot symbol.


Also, reminder that Legacy Nemesis Leo Prime likewise had a Maximal symbol.

Well that's a shame. Haven't seen a listing for the Stegosaurus yet.

I think we now have everyone we would need for a Mighty Morphin Megazord. If they made a box set with them in the right colors I would by that in a heart beat.

Even though I decided to stick with Studio Series and Age of the Primes for Transformers-collecting and skip Earthspark, One, and Cyberworld (unless it was an older toy from G1-Prime Wars and RID15), but I do want some Wild King stuff since it felt like the right kind of mainline fun like I had with some ROTB figures. That balance of articulation and Megazord/Sentai Robo combination gimmicks works for me.

wow these look great

Stay tuned for what the names of himself and that of his two limb minions are. TFWiki's translation staff is currently deliberating about how best to Romanize their names into English script, as they can be Romanized in various ways and we'd like to get them just right.

Is it just me or does it look like RID 2000 Megatron?

His name... is another one of those cases where it's English-derived so it sounds cool and exotic to the Japanese but awkward and random to native English-speakers.

His name is, I kid you not, "World Dragnus".

The second part, sure, but, who names their kid "World"?

Would that be "Mr. World", to me?

Embedding the pics:













The two smaller limb minions are called Dragknight Soldiers.

Takara has revealed through Amazon a new core bot in the Transformers Wild King line, World Dragnus. His official number is WKEX-01 and he turns into a Dragon. It having 10 different configurations shown gives flashbacks to RID Megatron. There are two smaller bots which combine to make this a larger dragon and, of course, it combines in a myriad of ways with the other existing toys in the Wild King line. This toy will be coming out in October, you can check out the images below. We also have a preorder link, but there may be trouble ordering from Japan for Americans. The price is $75 USD.

I have it POd, let's see how it goes.

These toys look so fun to me. I can't wait to get my hands on some them and put them in front of my camera at some point. I was going to pull the trigger on some earlier this month until Japan Post sent out their message in regards to the tariffs.

Shame we basically have no current way to get him now, he looks awesome

Not directly from Japan, as far as I can tell. Are stores located in other countries fair game though?

No idea, I have only seen these available on Amazon Japan, and I think I heard they were on Amiami, but neither are an option now.

No importers I have seen have gotten them, as far as I know either.

Only if they carry this line, which most like BBTS and TFSource aren't.

My PO on Amazon Japan went through shipping was around $40 which is normal for something this size.

Keep in mind that I always go for the slightly faster option.
