Its that time of year for the Summer Wonderfest in Tokyo and the first "licensed for the day" products have been revealed by as Ginrai, the Godmaster figure who was released as Hi-Q in the west, and Minerva, again the human form.  The garage kits are made by Sea CM's Corporation and are a part of the Va-Voom Figure Collection can be seen below.

It is with great pleasure that I can finally present to you are Transformers toy image galleries of both of the Japanese Cassetticons that make up LegoutDail (Dairu) and Saur (Zauru).  We have owned Saur for almost 8 years but only recently managed to pick up a Dial.  As big fans of the cassettes as well as Dinosaurs, the Japanese cassettes have been figures we have been intent on picking up so not only are we extremely please to have finally picked up the one missing from our collection but with the purchase of Dial, we have also completed our Transformers Cassette collection.

You can find some groupshots of our cassette army within both Dail's and Saur's galleries.

I have updated the Transformers Toy Gallery section of the website to contain a new gallery of one of the Family Mart campaign figures that was released in Japan last year.  The gallery is of the clear leader class Optimus Prime figure from the Transformers Revenge (Revenge of the Fallen) toyline.  We bought the figure last year as apart of a bulk auction that included 95% of the Family Mart Prizes, only we did not get around to photographing this figure until yesterday.  Its a bit of a sad tale for this toy really, that was opened, transformed, and then put in a cupboard for a few months even though we planned on keeping him in his box on a shelf with the rest of the Movieverse figures as as well as taking the gallery yesterday he has now joined his "brothers" rather than hi-jacking the Masterpiece shelf.

Anyway, I digress, you can check out the image gallery of this limited edition toy here.   Enjoy!

Looking for the ultimate Christmas present, well on eBay you will find two auctions (in the UK) for the awesome Transformers 2010 Toy Hobby Market Exclusive Unicron figures.

The first auction is a Buy it now, for £150.00 (inculding free shipping in the UK).

The second auction is a usual auction, start price for £120, with a Buy It Now of £150.

I have updated the website with an image gallery of the latest additional to our ever-expanding collection, the Toy Hobby Market exclusive, "Welcome to Transformers 2010" Universal Dominator Unicron figure.  The toy is a heavily recoloured Armada Unicron with a new head sculpt based on the 1986 Transformers: The Movie cartoon.  If I were to sum up the toy in one word that world would be AMAZING.  TakaraTomy not only gave the figure a much improved head, but the new colour scheme vastly improved what was already a pretty good toy.  The figure is painted in such a way that it highlights many of the details that were hidden on the previous version of the mold.

The image gallery includes comparison photographs with the Armada version of the toy as well as the Lucky Draw Green Unicron figure that we own.  You will also see side-by-side comparison images of the mini-cons to highlight the differences with Dead-End as well.

If you are interested in owning one of these toys, ­we still have some available for £120 including recorded postage within the UK, so just drop us an email .
