Takara Tomy Transformers: The Last Knight Toys Sighted at Japanese Retail

Posted by Va'al Jun 23, 2017 at 5:46am CDT 21,093 views
Courtesy of yours truly, we have some Japanese sightings for Takara Tomy's edition of the Transformers: The Last Knight, found in Gobo's Joshin store (with the movie only hitting in August)! The wave is the first, with Deluxes (20 USD) and Voyagers (32 USD), and One-Steps (8 USD) on display, to the backdrop of an animated commercial for the latter figures. Also, the toys are indeed the same, with the TLK sticker over the Hasbro packaging logos.

Remember: if you come across a sighting for these or any other toys, make sure to mark them up in our Sightings database to help out other fans!

Hm, they seem to be selling the same toys without any modifications in the same packaging...

I didn't know they did that

There is no classics section. That's all there is TF wise.
TRU has more, but the closest one is an hour away on the train.

Courtesy of the official Toys'R'Us Japan channel on YouTube, we have a new commercial for the exclusive toyline that will be hitting the retailer alongside Transformers: The Last Knight (King, as it's known in the localised release) - some of whom are specific exclusives for the store, such as the two Voyager and Leader Megatrons. The clip uses stop motion animation and voice-over narration, and features the likes of Bumblebee, Sqweeks, Hound, Optimus Prime, Drift and more - leading into the TLK line, the One-Steps, and the Movie Masterpiece figures. Check it out below!

As the US has Valvoline and Valvotron, Takara Tomy Transformers in Japan has also partnered up with a garage chain - Idemitsu - in order to bring a lottery for its users (Japan only)! The main prize, for 200 winners? TLK Calibur Optimus Prime! Followed by Transformers themed USB chargers and cards. Check it out below.

We have an update on the Takara Tomy Transformers: The Last Knight TLK-EX exclusive figure through 7eleven in Japan, the Dark Optimus edition of the Voyager figure, in the form of in-hand images of the figure, the box, and a comparison with Voyager Megatron, as mirrored on the Snakas blog (though the source is fellow collector Anh Quan Nguyen). Check the images out below!

Via toy blogger Alfes2010 on Twitter, we have a couple of in-hand images of the Takara Tomy Transformers: The Last Knight Gold Vector Shield exclusive accessory - which, as the name suggests, is a gold chromed shield for the Optimus Prime figure from the movie line. Check them out below!

Aw it's leader class.
Which probably doesn't make any difference to me cos things like this are near impossible to get and likely expensive anyways.

It's the shield that's being shown off. It's a campaign item that comes by itself.

Well, if it's held by a 5mm peg (I don't know that it is or not), any size class could hold it. ;)

Included in the images below, we get to see the accessories, robot and vehicle mode, and comparisons with Age of Extinction's (Lost Age, technically) AD-31 Armor Knight Optimus Prime.

That mod for the backpack shield is rather impressive. I do wish the flames where that darker red though... Looks like an amazing figure, and the best-of-the-best in every way. I really don't know how Hasbro hasn't gotten this one or the previous version out of Japan.

It's nice (particularly the paintjob) but I still hate those shoulder pads and how you can't put flames on them cos they form the top of the truck.

Comment by SpikeyTigertron Jul 15, 2017
That's a good point. Flames on those shoulders would look badass... Maybe if they could rotate around? But then you'd expose the ball-socket.

(slightly off-topic: I didn't know there were domestic pre-orders for him: https://www.tfsource.com/transformers-t ... mus-prime/ - especially with the "bonus" sword)

So... the difference between the two is that one has an axe?

Can they be removed or are those joints pinned?
