Japanese publication TV Magazine have a history of offering exclusive Legion class / EZ Collection Transformers from time to time, and it seems they will be offering an exclusive deco of Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime with their November issue! The redeco is named “Blizzard Optimus Prime”, and is a variation on the Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime released as a part of the US Robots in Disguise line. Notably, the TV Magazine version goes for more of a white, black, and navy deco than the predominantly blue US version.
After the break, check out a video from TV Magazine (5 minutes long, in Japanese) where they show off the figure.

Try Amazon Japan. They might ship to the UK, and/or USA.

Pretty bland to be honest.
I wouldn't mind a Blizzard Windblade deluxe figure. Get on that Takara.

I need this. Is there a place where I could order the Magazine and the figure online?

That's not too bad. I may go grab the book for my nephew since he keeps telling me he needs an RID Prime. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of all the other stuff in TV Magazine as well.

Here's a pic of the figure. Mine came today in the post.View attachment 27624235

It seems to depict the girl as "I don't understand boys' toys; I'm just a girl, tee hee!", which I find repulsive. In Japan, this would be considered "fine", but it puzzles me why TV Magazine considered it so to sell this product to young Japanese boys, who would rather see young boys zooming it around the table, like every other advert for little boys in Japan.

Cute figure, I still really like that color scheme.

5 minutes of a girl msitransforming a toy is a strange way to sell it.

I just watched this with my Japanese girlfriend (who has two sons who love TFs) and she said the video was boring. It\'s a bit strange to have it in such a \"Daytime TV\" format, when the audience is young boys.

I kind of want that now………

I want one…..

Not bad, though a bit unremarkable. This probably isn't quirky enough for me to track down like the Legion TRU Prime, though if it pops up cheaply on Mandarake down the road, it could be an impulse buy.

Not having the huge circle sticker does do a lot for the looks, really.

What would you expect? It's the second of two free items that come with a $5.00 magazine.

That\'s a pretty lame exclusive, it\'s just a veriation on the US release on this.
*yawn*
