Takara Tomy Premium Finish series

Not me.

Who is buying these?

I can see the appeal behind the Bumblebee movie Optimus but other than that...yeesh these are not good.

 

[Sabrblade]

Who is buying these?

Folks who missed out on them the first time, I guess.

I got this mold for my son years ago and was so disappointed I never got one for myself.
But apparently the PF VW Bee has some remolded tabs to help him hold together better in var mode.
That's reason enough for me to snag one, even with the "off" paintjob.

 

[Blot]

I preordered Bumblebee and Ratchet because I missed both and I liked the additional paint apps, but I skipped Bee movie Optimus as I already got the 35th anniversary edition of him.

For whoever's buying these, Takara's just put up new official in-hand pictures.

 

[LordGigaIce]

I suppose there's a novelty in a dirty Siege Seeker with different dirt paint apps from all the other dirty Siege Seekers?

 

[lastmaximal]

Not a bad idea really considering all the damn Seekers (outside Netflix) had the exact same dirt splotches on their wings. Like, at least seven of them.

 

[Platypus Prime]

I just sort of assumed that Thundercracker's sonic booms were like the brown note to birds and he flew through a chicken coop or something.

 

[Powered Convoy]

Who is buying these?

Me.

 

[Blot]

Oh hey, got an email saying Bumblebee is shipping out soon from Hasbro Pulse. I thought he was pushed back to March but that's ok.

 

[Powered Convoy]

Starscream's color is quite a bit different.

New Takara Transformers Teasers

Takara has just teased their next releases for three Transformers lines: Kingdom, Legacy, and Premium Finish, including what may be the most interesting Premium Finish release yet.

Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime. Not the Movie 1 Optimus Prime that combines with Jetfire. Studio Series can be confusing.

The original badly needed paint, so I am eager to see how this turns out.

Got my Starscream yesterday. His gray is a lot darker than the original version.

I'm curious, but mostly because I wound up missing every release of that design that happened. I would prefer if it was the version that had the trailer, but pretty sure that won't be the case.

New Takara stock images for Legacy, Kingdom, and Premium Finish.

Edit: That's two of the same blaster, isn't it?

 

[Sabrblade]

Would have been so much better if they used either of the other two versions of the mold, not that one with the inaccurate torso.

Not sure why the Takara Tomy Mall listings of Optimus (or the Legacy figures) wasn't also shared at the front page, alongside the equivalent links for (private sellers only, at time of press) at Amazon Japan and Ami Ami?

- https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810188308/

The full list of all upcoming/new TFs at Takara Tomy Mall can always be found here:

- https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/goods/search.aspx?sort=nd&category=TF&search=true&stock=0

As a heads-up, the seller "ホビーＡｍａｚｏｎ" is not "Amazon Japan", but rather a private seller, perhaps using the term "Amazon" to confuse potential customers?



I'm a little confused as to why these new Amazon listings haven't appeared (at time of writing) in the official TF "new items list" at Amazon?

- https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/new-releases/hobby/3307840051/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsnr

Also, I'm confused why the link from the main page at Allspark ( https://www.allspark.com/new-takara-stock-images-for-legacy-kingdom-and-premium-finish/ ) only links to this discussion page, and not any others for Legacy, etc?

The names (before each gallery) are hyperlinked to the TTM pages for each! In retrospect that probably would've been better as a separate section at the bottom as well. I'll fix that in a bit.
