Don’t be surprised by the long name. Japanese market always surprises us with rare and exclusive Transformers items and this is one of them.
While back in November, 2017 we had reported the announcement of one of the most curious crossovers in our franchise. The Transformers & Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! Crossover~Donarimasu & Guchirimasu were part of the promotional campaign for the Japanese release of the DVD/Blu-Ray of popular Japanese comedy show “Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!” (“Downtown’s This Is No Task for Kids!”). An exclusive TR Cerebros/Fortress remold with special Headmaster units was included. The Headmasters were called: DONARIMASU and GUCHIRIMASU which had got faces molded after the Japanese comedians in “super-deformed” style.
Thanks to Twitter users @hikoneko27, @akahukutoorimon and @INCHIKIBANCYO we have our first in-hand images of the packaging, the small Donarimaus and Guchirimasu Headmasters units, and the main Headmaster used as the head of Legends Grand Maximus (you sure want to see it). To top it all, we can also share a video of the new audio clips which sound as if they were from a comedy show.
You can check out the video and images after the jump, and then you can share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I've been trying to think of a U.S. equivalent program and the best I can come up with is probably something along the lines of SNL, if SNL had been hosted by the same one or two people for its entire run. Maybe David Letterman or Jay Leno?

I mean, it's no Linkin Park gold Soundwave in purple flocked packaging.

Not offended at all by your opinion, but you need to understand the team of Japanese comedians of which this is based off of. Downtown are a HUGELY popular group in Japan. For fans of their shows and of Transformers, this is definitely a hilarious collectors piece.

Well no. It's basically a series of stores in Japan that deal in used toys. I said what I did because the store stock and the online stock is the exact same, so a figure could physically be sold at one of the locations before the online listing can be updated. It's an annoyance for sure but most of the time there shouldn't be an issue. It's certainly a far cheaper option then ebay and not to mention easier.
Take the recent Diaclone reboot. They've gotten in the expo exclusives multiple times now for very reasonable prices even factoring in shipping. Just be sure you have paypal.

never used mandarake… its like an ebay for japan?
NemiMonkey
Keep an eye on Mandarake. Even if it was a limited con exclusive they somehow manage to get some. Just be quick on the draw and pay asap because your going to be competing not just with people browsing online like you, but also people physically walking into the various Mandarake location.s

It is excessively dumb BUT I\'m a HUGE FAN of Downtown and I WANT THAT FIGURE SO MUCH! How can we buy those without having to sell a kidney?
Hooper_X
Ah yes, a product that is exclusively available in Japan to celebrate a milestone of a popular Japanese TV show, what a waste of money! They should only make stuff that people like me find interesting, like, I dunno, a transforming Phillie Phanatic!

Not trying to offend anyone who is down for this, but this has got to be the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. I thought it was ludicrous when it was first announced. I know most people would have to import this, but think of what else could have been done with the money they used to produce this……anomaly. Maybe something more people as a whole would be interested in?
Digger
That’s probably the same reason anyone else is getting this.
TyrantGalvatron
I really want to put this on my Hasbro Fort Max so I can laugh hysterically at it.
Chaos Muffin
lol
UltraPrimal
So, does the body somehow know which head is attached? That's pretty neat!
kary
This is absolutely hilarious! My wife and kids were LOLing when they heard Hiroshi Fujiwara's voice coming out of that figure. Definitely a collectors piece for those who watch their shows and yearly Batsu games.
Digger
Honestly kiss players is not that strange. In reality it’s like if masterforce was porn. But I have a high bias since it’s one of my top five favourite transfomers stories. Plus the beast is more disturbing and fround upon then weird.
