Thanks to Bodhar2000 of the 2005 boards for sharing his pictures of the Takara Tomy Museum Event taking place near Kyoto. On display were a ton of Japanese Transformers Animated toys, some Masterpiece offerings, concept art, and more. Check out all the pics by reading the full story.

Wasn't there a "he told me" rumour recently about some random Transformers that were made at one of the factories?
Names mentioned were Missfire, Chromedome, Fangry and one of the Decepticon Pretenders.
It could be that they did a small production run of molds that were avaliabe, espetially for this event.

Whoa! I wish I could set up my collection as nice as that…
I was wondering, Were those figures the ones photographed for the Transformers Generations book?

I understand what some of them may be thinking. In past, when we see pics from TT displays at conventions, they normally display what soon to be released. What some folks are not catching is that this is an exhibit, not a convention.

They've been doing than since the movies. Optimus isn't called Convoy any more either

Sounds more like wishful thinking to me. I'd be shocked if we see any of those Japanese toys reissued in the near future.

Now that is one huge leap.
Pulled all the production samples we have in our vaults and put them in display cases=we're going to reissue everything you see.

I wish a prolific toy collector would open a toy museum so that these awesome figures would always be on display.

I wish Hasbro would do the same thing in the U.S. That will be awesome!

Looking at these pics makes me want to get some of those cool glass cases for my basement instead of my $30 plastic shelves.

So that's where my masterpiece Grimlock went to!
Interesting that they decided to package Animated Jetstorm and Jetfire in separate packages.

I wonder if this means TT will reissue the G1 vintage. I'm looking at Fortmax and Overlord!
