The latest issue of Figure King, issue 143, was recently released within Japan. The issued contained pictures of Transformers Revenge Human Alliance Barricade who will be released within Japan in Feb 2010. On the 23rd January, Toysa R Us stores in Japan will be holding a special "NEST enlistment campaign". This campaign will see the first 4,000 pepole that spend 2000 yen or more on Transformers Revenge of the Fallen items received a specially-made NEST badge.
The magazine announced that a short NEST movie will be released on the TakaraToym Generation One website in January.
A sihouette of The Fallen was shown as part of the advertisement for the upcoming Winter Wonderfest.
The Transformers Camaro will be released within Japan next year costing 4.42 million yen for the LT spec and 5.47 million yen for the SS spec. Sales for the car begin on the 6th Feb, and you get a free Human Alliance Bumblebee with Sam for your troubles.
The 12th and final article covering the 25th years of Transformers was published, which featured developments since the 2007 movie.
There is a two page feature of the Japanese release of Transformers Animated in 2010 including a note that the story and characters will be changed to try to make them tie-in to the live action Transformers films which should be interesting to see how that works out.
Finally it seems that the next issue of Figure King, on sale at the end of Jan, will have a large feature on Transformers in 2010, so should be the first look at what Takara are plannig for next year.
