Snakas is reporting that Rakuten Ichiba Santa toy store has two new Transformers Animateditems listed.
The first is for a Transformers gum card 20 card set which includes chewing gum and a card and is priced at 105 yen with a July release.
The 2nd is for a painted PVC figure that go on sale in August priced at 315 yen. The figures are of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee.
We are pleased to announced that we have managed to order a limited number of the Toy Hobby Market exclusive Masterpiece Sleep Mode Convoy as well as the Generation One coloured Unicron figure.
For those considering ordering the figures direct, Toy Hobby Market limit the number of Sleep Mode Convoy figures to two items per customer, so if you are after more you will need to have a few people place orders. The figure is limited to a total production run of 2010 pieces.
We do not have the final price for the figures, or a final quantity as we are trying to order more as I post this, and will most likely not publish a final price until they are in hand but you can rest assured that will be try our best to keep the costs down to as minimum as possible.

ACToys.net member ??has posted a series of images of the Seacons in Generation One colour schemes though Snap Trap is missing and Jawbreaker / Overbite is somewhat off coloured. Some of the toys have a "not for sale" stamp as well as "made in China" markings suggesting that though they also have an 1987 copyright marking, that these figures have been made in recent years. Its unlikely that these were test-shots for the Collectors Club figure, as white samples have already been seen of those and its more likely that these figures could be seeing a re-release perhaps as a SDCC exclusive or a Japanese release. Expect more on this as the story develops.
