ENCORE #23 FORTRESS MAXIMUS BOX PICTURES! ETA MID TO LATE APRIL 2013!

10:41 AM in 1988 Headmaster, 2013 Reissue, ATTACK BASE, Big Robot, Encore, Fortress Maximus, Japanese G1, NOT YET RELEASED, Vintage

HI FOLKS, JUST ANOTHER SHORT POST TO UPDATE THOSE GENERATION ONE AFICIONADOS THAT TF:YUKI FROM TAKARATOMY'S OFFICIAL TWITTER PAGE HAS JUST REVEALED THE UPCOMING BOX DESIGN FOR NONE OTHER THAN ENCORE #23 FORTRESS MAXIMUS!  IT HEARKENS BACK TO THE DAYS OF THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE BOX/ GRID AUTOBOT DESIGN, RIGHT DOWN TO THE FONTS AND PICTURES USED! EXCITING TIMES, IS IT NOT?!  **ENCORE IS ON THE LEFT AND ORIGINAL ON THE RIGHT*

JUST A SIDE NOTE: SEEMS LIKE TAKARATOMY HAS OR IS TRYING TO TIGHTEN UP IT'S LAX QC ISSUES OF LATE BY DOUBLE-CHECKING THE CONTENTS OF THIS BEHEMOTH RELEASE. THUS, CHANCES ARE THAT YOUR FORT MAX BOXES MIGHT BE 'DOUBLE-TAPED' ON THE OPENING OF THE BOX FLAP. AS CONFIRMED BY TFW2005 MEMBER Joshua, HE HAS SENT AN INQUIRY TO TFSOURCE. COM, AND THE CONFIRMATION IS RELAYED AS FOLLOWS:-

From TFSource's Facebook page just now:

TFsource
Here is an Encore Fortress Maximus Update - be sure to read through! Preorder yours at TFsource here:
Encore #23 - Fortress Maximus
Encore #23 - Fortress Maximus - Early Release Air Shipment

Today Takara pulled back all of the Fort Max stock for a second QC inspection. Due to this some stock did not pass, and Takara has to do a new run. This will not be finished until the end of April. The good news - TFsource will receive all of our stock on schedule shipping out later this week. Many shops will not.

The bad news - all of the first run of Fort Max will be double-taped. Some collectors are very particular about this, so be aware all stock we receive will be double-taped. It's unavoidable due to the circumstances, but also a check to show that the product passed the QC check. Takara did not release any information on what the QC issues are that caused this.''

PERSONALLY, THIS IS GOOD NEWS TO ALL OF US WHO ARE PUTTING DOWN A FAIR BIT MORE OF OUR MONEY INTO SOMETHING AS HUGE AND IMPORTANT AS A FORTRESS MAXIMUS RE-RELEASE, NOT LEAST  FOR THE SHEER SIZE BUT AS A DISCERNING AND 'PICKY' COLLECTOR, THIS GIVE SOME SENSE OF RELIEVE. CANNOT WAIT TO ADD THIS TO MY COLLECTION, BTU AT THE SAME TIME, I AM SURE THAT SPACE- OR RATHER THERE LACK OF IT WILL BE AN ISSUE WHICH MANY OF US WILL FACE!

BEAST WARS NEO BIG BLACK CONVOY. 1999 TOYSR'US JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

9:43 PM in Beast Wars Neo, BIG CONVOY, Black Repaint, JUST BOUGHT, Limited, Toys'R'Us Japan exclusive, Woolly Mammoth

Hello fellow followers! So sorry for slacking off posting on my blog lately. Been busy with office work and added to that, am a proud owner of a new Honda City 2013 Modulo car! The added responsibility that comes with owing a new set of wheels is both exciting and nerve-wracking as most of you will know. Yay! Ok folks, enough about these two non-Transformers events, as important as they are in one's life, it's time to blog on a very special item that I have been actively scouring for sometime now, to be precise, a good SEVEN years to this day. 

He is none other than the uber-exclusive Toys R' Us Japan exclusive repaint of Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy, also know as his 'body-double' of sorts. So glad to have snagged him at a fairly decent price that what he normally goes for in the collectors market-- complete with unused Bio and missiles, as well as the added bonus of having gotten his box in fairly decent condition. 

Brief info from Transformers Wiki: 

Beast Wars Neo

• Black Big Convoy (Ultra, 1999)
  • Japanese ID number: C-35
  • Accessories: Cannon, two missiles, two hook missiles, Energon Matrix

A redeco of Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy, Black Big Convoy transforms into a mammoth, and is somewhat infamous for being an extremely difficult-to-transform shellformer, as practically all of his beast mode components are shells that fit around the compressed robot to form this mode. As such, he has no leg articulation in this mode, but has a rubber trunk which can be controlled by pushing a lever on the top of his head. In addition, the his tusks can be moved by pulling back either of his ears. Black Big Convoy technically has a beast "attack mode", in which his cannon is folded out.

In robot mode, Black Big Convoy stands slightly shorter than the Beast Wars Ultra Class Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal toys, but makes up for it by being absolutely chock-full of weapons and gimmicks. First and foremost, the spring-loaded cannon, formed out of the beast's head, back, and tail, can fire two missiles from two barrels in succession with a rotating dial. It is held in his hands via 5mm post and can be stored on his back, though doing so may cause some stability problems owing to its weight. Second, his shoulders can be swung up to reveal sculpted, non-firing missile pods. Third, he has flip-out tonfamelee weapons in his forearms. Fourth, the two beast panels on the sides of his legs feature two spring-loaded missile launchers that fire his anchor-shaped projectiles, (similar to the original Beast Wars Ultra Class Megatron toy) and the missiles can be loosely held as melee weapons. Last, but certainly not least, his chest panel flips down, revealing the first-ever removable Matrix toy accessory, vacuum-metalized gold with an opaque orange center. This accessory can be held by any figure with standard 5mm fist holes.

Black Big Convoy was sold in the regular Big Convoy package, with a sticker indicating that it was "Black Big Convoy".

This mold was also used to make Universe Nemesis Prime and Timelines Ultra Mammoth.

8:01 PM in April 2013, BANDAI JAPAN, BANSHEE, Clear plastic, convention exclusives, Gundam UNICORN, JUST BOUGHT, YET TO BE RELEASED

Hi folks, so sorry for the delay in posting on my blog for awhile now. Just like to wish all readers celebrating the Chinese New Year of the Snake a very Happy and Prosperous year ahead.  Bought something rather interesting as far as clear -plastic limited items go, and it's none other than another special Bandai Tamashi web exclusive toy, courtersy of uber on line GUNPLA store: GG Infinite.com 

Pretty rad considering that this item is rather difficult to come by and limited to one order per person. So if you are a GUNPLA collector, and would like something discerning added to your limited space/ carefully selected collection, or heck- if you just are into clear plastic toys, then this release is highly recommended.
