Snakas has posted the following round-up of the contents of this months Figure King Magazine, issue 158.  Figure is often incorrectly referred to as "Figure Oh" by some Western sites.

Figure King issue 158 was released on the 24th March 2011.

The first five toys form Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon (Transformers Dark of the Moon) including Sentinal Prime, Bumbleee and Optimus Prime with his Japanese exclusive trailer were all shown.

There was an article on how to play the Mech-Tech card/slot game which will be taking over from the current card/slot game B-1.

Some more Transformers Unites figures were six shown with comparisons to their overseas releases.  The Dual Model Kits of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee that were featured in last months Dengeki Hobby magazines are shown, but with more detailed images.

There are more images of the Transformers Crossover Kabya figure Gaia.  As you may remember Gaia is an updated version of the Transformers Victory Landcross toy, so Multi-Force.

fansproject at www.fansproject.com are doing a fundraiser for the red cross japan earthquake appeal. if you donat at least $15 they will send you a limited to 1500 sidearm repaint called blesser.

so far they have counted over 700 donations and $10.000 in 8 hours.

a worthy cause i think

Kapow Toys have posted some images and review of Transformers Generations Warpath.  We pre-ordered outs from them, and am looking forward to it's arrival.

Generations Warpath

Also uploaded to the blog here for bigger images - http://kapowtoys.blogspot.com/2011/0...s-warpath.html

Kinda sad he is the last for a while but damn is he an awesome one!

His tank mode blatantly looks like the HALO scorpion which is no bad thing, he has the usual tiny wheels built into the solid treads and rolls freely, the turret also pivots nice and smooth with the 2 flip out cannons nicely settled to the rear.

In bot mode he has a great range of articulation and feels really solid, the transformation is nice and easy with the only complaint being the length of the missle trailing out from his back, this can easily be fixed with some wire cutters and sandpaper if desired.

Overall 9/10 - heres hoping Generations isnt on hiatus for too long, I need more geewun style goodness!

HK-TF has images posted of some upcomign toys including Botcon 2011 Dead End (the first of probably many leaked BotCon figures), e-Hobby Kup and Dark of the Moonfigures.

On Thursaday Unitedbot posted the following sighting on our message board.

"RTS G2 Prime and Wreck-Gar from TRU Stockport for £9.97 each."

The figures do not appear to have made their way to all of the Toys R Us stores as yet, another board member, Brawn, posted that "Thanks unitedbot! My TRU has boxes of TF DELUXE WAVE 2, under the shelves and they are indeed RTS wave 2. Skipped on the rest."

It is with great pleasure that I can finally present to you are Transformers toy image galleries of both of the Japanese Cassetticons that make up LegoutDail (Dairu) and Saur (Zauru).  We have owned Saur for almost 8 years but only recently managed to pick up a Dial.  As big fans of the cassettes as well as Dinosaurs, the Japanese cassettes have been figures we have been intent on picking up so not only are we extremely please to have finally picked up the one missing from our collection but with the purchase of Dial, we have also completed our Transformers Cassette collection.

You can find some groupshots of our cassette army within both Dail's and Saur's galleries.

The CyberGundamBlog has been updated with some scans from the latest issue of Dengeki Gobby Magazine which included some images of the upcoming Transformers Dual Model Kits.  The kits are of Transformers Movie Optimus Prime and Bumblebee and are similar to the Trans-Scanning toys that were released in line with the first live action Transformers Movie in as much as the models are build as protoforms with armour that is attached to then build them into the Earth forms of the two Autobots.   The Trans-Scanning toys were a unique idea that, sadly, did not really catch on and were not released in the Western markets.  You can view mirrored images of the model kits below though.

Mach of the HK-TF boards has posted images of Kabaya Transformers Gum Figure Kits Wave 3, which includes God Ginrai, God Bomber & Starscream. These figures can transform, but require assembly.

This wave of figures are expected to be released in March 2011 in Japan - we have some from an earlier wave, and liek all Kabayas we really like them.
