With the imminent approach of the 50th Legends figure, and the reveal of MP-39 Sunstreaker and a Masterpiece Dinobot definitely in the works, Takara Tomy has decided to do a little survey to get some information from the fans. The survey, which can be found here, asks some questions dealing with new figures, reissues, and toy buying habits. Said questions include:

-How often do you buy?
-How much do you spend on figures or are willing to spend?
-What figures do you have?
-How do you display said figures?
-What figures do you want Reissued?
-What do you like about the current Takara lines?

The survey is listed in Japanese, and in order to participate you need a Takara Tomy Mall account. Check it out, and let us know what you said in your survey or what you would say if you did take the survey!

What figures would I like reissued? Car Robots Gigatron (preferably with the Hasbro retooling that allowed him to assume all 10 modes, but still with the Takara-original missiles). Mine is absolutely knackered and the prices for a complete one are...not pretty.

Reissue G1 Liokaiser! LIOKAISER! Or anything else we never got in the States originally!

I'd love to see Generations Metroplex reissued. Especially with Trypticon coming out. I'm so upset with myself that I never managed to pick one up. Money was crazy tight those days and I never expected that aftermarket price increase.

Totally agree. Overlord and Road Caesar would be my additions to Liokaiser. I know they have the Road Caesar molds handy, as these were used in the early 00s

Reissue every gold plastic syndrome figure, without the effin' sparkles!

And since this is Takara, start with all the Euro-exclusives that would never meet US safety laws, especially Skyquake.

If there's a way to correct the plasticizer-melting problem, HFTD Bludgeon wouldn't be a bad idea either, sometime down the road.

Metroplex gets my vote. I missed out on him & Trypticon just won't look right fighting Fort Max on my shelf!

I'd give you mine if they'd rerelease Liokaiser. Or Deathsaurus.

1) Not as often as I used too the price increases are murder - I'm expecting to binge line crazy when the sales start though.

2) Not as much as Ginrai Costs thanks very much Takara - but if you want to spend more money on making Omega Supreme or Scorponok better i'm not going to scream if he costs another £20.00 more if the toy actually comes with decent accessories and isn't missing most of them like keeps happening with the Titans.


3) You really don't want to know - (trust me)

4) Messily

5) Legends (Headmaster) Blurr needs a reissue also a Weirdwolf repaint as Fang Wolf, and Black Zarak, Blue Bakkus etc.. needs reissuing.
I'd not mind a Legends Ginrai in Fireguts colour either. Bw2 King Neptune reissue only with all the Seacon pieces and 6 characters would be nice too. Likewise BWII Gigastorm with all the accessories too.

6) The Packaging is nice enough - I like the Targetmasters.
Then need better campaigns though - they have been lacklustre for a while.

I'd like them to release a small Transformers line and stick with it rather than make the same characters over and over and then invent another similar line - it's annoying.

how about a reissue of Minerva, Goshooter, and Cab, especially Minerva who much like Liokaiser, Overloard and Deathsaurus, never made it Stateside

While fans still have until July 3 to vote for which Takara Legends figures they want rereleased most, Takara PR on Twitter shared who were the top 5 right now. With no order indicated, they showed a picture including Fortress Maximus, Megatron, Jetfire, Windblade and Ultra Magnus.

You can still go vote by clicking the following link.

Makes sense; all but one of them are amazing characters.

Jetfire is only a surprise because there was a time that figure could be had for a very low cost. Maybe it disappeared in the past few months or something.

I've been buying alot of takara figures for the past few years now and enjoy them greatly, even though some of Hasbros are still great choices

Which figure from the last 3 years? Buh, what is this madness?

Comment by Lucky Logician Jun 26, 2017
Can someone clue me in because I don't get it?

It sounds like Takara asked 'What figure do you guys want us to make?" And the top 5 votes so far are for characters that just got figures made.

There must be something else involved that I don't get because it sounds like Takara I'd getting trolled.
