New "Wildocking" Animal Limb Combiners from TakaraTomy

Putting this here in its correct thread:

We got a second Wild King diorama story:

I'd love to know why Hasbro and Takara didn't just collaborate on a joint filler line instead of two different offerings, of which -- IMO -- this looks like the better one.

It really does sound like Wild King and Cyberworld emerged from the same ideas session, doesn't it?

I'm loving the Wild King energy beasts, but there are several Cyberworld toys I'm wanting, too (bull Megatron, Junkion dinosaurs), so I'm glad we're getting both!

Bunch of pics.

The people designing and sculpting the heads on these guys needs a raise. They're amazing.

Some great pictures in there!

So is there any good place to get these delivered to the US? The only places I know of to find them at all are Amazon Japan and Suruga-ya (thanks to ZacWilliam). Problem is, they both appear to only have Optimus, Megatron, and the two energy beasts included in their two-packs. Only other option I'm finding is eBay for $40-$50 per energy beast.

Yeah, Suruga-ya is sold out of Leafback and Hydrophant (I believe AmazonJP is too but havnt looked as close, they might have some second hand for more). Suruga-ya has the two packs and the singles of Op, Megs, LIghtlong and Capt Volca. They also have Drillnohorn and Thunderbeak preorders up that you can preorder.

They have listings for Ignite Leo and Spirituan that are marked "sold out" but have never actually been in stock as far as I can tell. I'm hopeful that they will go active when those toys actually release.


-ZacWilliam, I've got an Ignite Leo preorder on AmazonJP just in case that I'm hoping to cancel if Suruga-ya's goes active soon enough.

Hobby Search is where I got the first wave. But they also only have the two packs currently in stock.

Given that it seems like Cyberworld is going to have different zones or levels or worlds, I would think Hasbro could slot Wild King into it as a subline fairly easily (assuming the figs would pass US safety tests, etc). I do also like many of the figures we've seen from Cyberworld, but would definitely have preferred if Wild King got a domestic US release.

As it is, I had to choose between DeathCobra and his Liokaiser accessory or Wild King, and DeathCobra won. I'm hoping that I don't regret that choice, because these look awesome!

These have elbows, and Cyberworld couldn't afford that.
