TFW2005’s coverage of Summer Wonder Festival in Japan continues, this time thanks to images from 2chan.
First off, we have images of upcoming poseable figures of Generation One Arcee and Elita-1 from Fewture Models (similiar to the Optimus Prime and Alpha Trion articulated figures we originally reported on during the last Wonder Festival in February.) Secondly, Sentinel (company behind toylines such as Riobot, as well as the Optimus Prime transforming pen) has revealed that they will be producing a retool of their previously revealed Gigantic Action non-transforming Zarak toy into Black Zarak from Transformers: Masterforce! This non-transforming collector’s piece is perfect for those who are very wary of the original Black Zarak’s infamous Gold Plastic Syndrome. Unless you want a Transforming Black Zarak, that is.
