Courtesy of Twitter users @MASABON2011, @deadman_ty, and @hayatoron, we can share for your our first in-hand images of the Japanese exclusive Sonic Blue Bumble & Exo-Suit Chama.

This figures is a special collaboration between Takara Tomy and Japanese Rock Band “Bump Of Chicken” as part of the band’s “Aurora Ark Tour 2019” promotional campaign. We have clear images of this pale blue redeco of It is a pale blue redeco of Titans Return Bumblebee mold. He comes with Excelsuit Spike, a white and gold redeco of the Titanmaster included with Takara Legends Bumblebee.

Bumblebee features the band’s logos while Exo-Suit Chama is based on the bassist Yoshifumi Naoi, whose nickname is Chama precisely (He even appears in the mini-comic included). We have clear shots of both figures for your viewing pleasure, and some fun pics with Exo-Suit Chama as the head of Takara Legends Hot Rod.

This figure was available via the Bump Of Chicken Website for 4000 Yen ($37.00) only during November 3 and 4. As you should guess, it’s already sold out. One of those rare and hard-to-find Japanese exclusive items who are a challenge for any collector.

We have a very unexpected Japanese exclusive item to share with you. A collaboration between Takara Tomy and Japanese Rock Band “Bump Of Chicken” brings us Sonic Blue Bumble & Exo-Suit Chama.

This figure is part of the special goods offered for Bump Of Chicken fans as part of their “Aurora Ark Tour 2019” promotional campaign. It is a pale blue redeco of Titans Return Bumblebee mold and Excelsuit Spike (included with the Takara Legends release of this mold). Bumblebee also features the band’s logo and it was designed with the help of the bassist Yoshifumi Naoi, also known as Chama (I think you got that reference). It comes packed in a closed box similar to the Takara Tomy Legends products.

You can order this figure via the Bump Of Chicken Website for 4000 Yen ($37.00) only during two days: November 3 and 4, so we bet this will be one of those Japanese hard-to-find items. Additionally, an officially licensed T-shirt featuring Sonic Blue Bumble and the band in anime style will be available too.

Time for a quick look at two recently released Transformers War for Cybertron Siege figures! To celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the brand, several repaints are being released in special packaging. Two of those are the cell shaded Optimus Prime and Megatron figures. These are straight up repaints of their Siege counterparts with a paint deco to mimic the cartoon look. They don’t quite fit in with the rest of the Siege line, BUT, they are super clean and I found them cool enough to justify a double dip on the molds so close together. In the US, these are Walmart exclusives along with Soundblaster and Bluestreak. They are also available via some online retailers via other markets. Check out the links below to see the full galleries courtesy of TFSource. They’ve since sold out, but you can check their other Siege and Earthrise offerings.

WFC Siege Releases: Earthrise Pre-Orders, Omega Supreme, Refraktor 3 Pack Set, Red Alert, Galactic Man Shockwave, Jetfire, Astrotrain, Thundercracker, Apeface

Takara Tomy Mall Website have just updated their Seacons listings with new stock images of the upcoming Generations Selects King Poseidon/Piranacon.

This time we have our first pics of the combined mode with all the Seacons, including Overbite as a gun. As we can see for the images (and it was stated in Takara Tomy Mall listing), Overbite’s gun mode seems to be too heavy to be held for the combiner, so it should be the same with any other Seacon in Weapon mode. The images show that rather than holding the gun mode, it attaches to the Prime Master port on his hand.

King Poseidon/Piranacon shows off a decent posability, including ankle tilts and the same points of articulation of previous modern combiners. We are sure he will shine on your Generations display.
