So if I try to re-enact his battle with the TT longpants Optimus, he'd be just reaching his (Optimus') waiste then?

Thanks.

Seibertron's Japan correspondent Matt from Japan has just picked up the recently released Transformers Adventures TAV 35 Autobots VS Decepticons set, which should be shipping out now from online retailers. He found this set of four legion class figures at Toysrus for ¥3,499 (which is 29$ US for all four and 7.25$ US each which is the SAME price the Hasbro counterparts sell for in the west). This set includes the Takara versions of Robots in Disguise legion class Optimus, Underbite, Grimlock and Steeljaw.

What is most bizarre though is that at first it seemed like you had to stick those app stickers yourself. There are molded indents on the figures and the faction symbols are found on a separate sheet.

This is what Matt has to say:

While each figure clearly has a space for a faction symbol sticker, they are not stickers at all. The faction symbols are printed on the paper and meant to be scanned individually. The instructions also say nothing about stickers. Guess you gotta get your own?

Matt from Japan


Curiouser and curiouser. In any case, enjoy the photos Matt sent us!

Trying to appeal to the people that hate the "poker chips" as they call them, who pull them off of the figures they buy? Still seems weird that they wouldn't be a sticker for others that don't mind to apply.

The loon is a completely different bird from a Canadian goose.

So um... ever been a loon or Canadian goose transformer? uH,,, oh crap still not really on topic.. uh.. in the TAV line, any cons with goose or loon like characteristics? Yeah, that's the ticket...

Sorry, just we've got tons of Canadian geese in the pond across the street, and also sometimes loons, and they're very different in many ways, that the photos just won't show, so I wanted to make sure it was pointed out they're different.

Considering that most of these figures have painted details underneath the stickers, and that they were printed on thin, easily removed paper, then I think Takara expected some of their customers to just remove them. That's what I've done for every figure from that line (which are just some of the Generations ones used in the line).

Heck, even the "Ultimate Mode Optimus Prime" has a mechanism to replace the unsightly label with a "correct" Autobot symbol.

Those stickers were not popular. Let's hope that they never use them in subsequent lines.

Yeah, they should go back to the TF Cybertron way of just punching in a code. Sure, the codes are easier to just copy and paste into aps, but it's not like people weren't scanning the RID codes in stores and from photos online anyway. Hasbro, you don't need to ruin decent figures just because you want to show off your latest technology.

Heck, they already do that, the codes simply serve a separate purpose #-o

Although in Japan, the stickers on the toys are hidden behind a fake version, to stop kids from scanning the toys in the shops. Thing is, in Japan, customers are usually given more of the benefit of the doubt, and trust then enough to NOT do this.

Ol' Sandy Klaus stuffed these fine gents in my stocking this Crimus. They are quite a pair!

Jazz is certainly an upgrade from my Hasbro version, and the shades look sweet, but Drift is the real stand out in this duo. One really nice touch with Drift (sorry Chuck, I watched the vid, but can't remember if you covered this) is that everything on the figure we perceive as black, is actually navy blue. It's hard to discern from photos, even mine, but it really adds a richness to his deco. You can almost make it out on his feet in the pic above.
And that Tigertron head sculpt is d, d, d, d, DOPE!

What a crafty move, packaging these must have repaints/retools with figures already released. I have two TAV Sideswipes and Jazz's now. Can't be passed on in my opinion though!
