Podcast appearances and mentions of takara tomy

Play NowThe call of the wild leads episode 376 of the Twincast / Podcast to begin with discussion of in hand images for yet another wave of the Wild King combiner figures from Takara Tomy. Recent leaks and teases of the upcoming Studio Series 86 Mixmaster and teases of Megatron are discussed next. The talk moves on to a pair of gimmicks, with both color changing Hot Wheels Transformers and a glow-in-the-dark Earthspark toy coming soon. A listener question about real life vehicle mode experiences leads into another round table of on the spot questions for the crew. As always, bragging rights brings the show to a close.

Play NowThe Seibertron Twincast / Podcast starts episode 375 with a look at some of the initial toy offerings from Takara Tomy's Wild King line, presented through the lens of an anecdotal story about the host's weekly trash pickup. Teasers for another upcoming Transformers and Evangelion crossover toy release lead in thematically to several of the toys shown off at this year's Shizuoka Hobby Show, including collaborations with Macross, Zoids and Diaclone among the non-crossover releases like MPG Hauler and AMT Predaking. Several on-the-spot questions are posed to the cast related to their personal experiences and collections before the episode wraps up with the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment, where the cast shares their most recent Transformers toy and product acquisitions.

Episode 370 of the Siebertron.com Twincast Podcast opens with a conversation about the latest Transformers HasLab, Liokaiser, meeting the Tier 1 milestone of 13,000 backers to unlock the exclusive Death Cobra figure. Following that excitement, the cast discusses the delay of the Takara Tomy's 40th Selection Lio Convoy due to major factory misassembly. Next, the episode moves to redecos, including the MPG Nucleon Quest Convoy and the Monster Hunter crossover Silver Rathalos Prime. In other news, Missing Link Arcee and a Dramatic Capture Series 3-pack featuring Origins Bumblebee, Jazz, and Wheeljack are in the offing, and the crew has thoughts. This is followed by the question: "if you could reissue one toy, what would it be and why?" The cast's answers range from big to small to spite. The episode ends as it always does, with a round of bragging rights, where everyone on the show highlights the toys or other Transformers products they've acquired since the last episode.

A catch-up on Transformers toy news items is in order for episode 368 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast, beginning with the Generations Selects Titan Class redeco of Trypticon. In-hand images from one of the designers of the smaller upcoming Titan Star Convoy prompt more discussion on that before several smaller releases are talked about, including an Amazon 2-pack and several Studio Series items such as Age of Extinction Optimus Prime and Que from Dark of the Moon. Takara Tomy's revealed items from a recent T-Spark themed event are next, with AMT Predaking, Missing Link Arcee and MPG Nucleon Quest Convoy analyzed. Kotobukiya's upcoming Optimus Prime girl model kit is next up in the chat, with MPG Rattrap leading in to Bragging Rights, which conclude the episode.

The big four have set some pretty high expectations in the last couple of weeks. The Masters fall products look amazing. The Masterpiece Powermaster Optimus Prime looks great, but if Takara Tomy has done anything, it has set the expectation it will be pricey. I've got high expectations for the new Jazwares Vault regarding Micro Galaxy Squadron. Its first release is beautiful. My favorite expectation Hasbro set was the Name-Only reveal of Once a Man Cobra Commander.

This week, we celebrate 40 years of The Transformers with The Transformers expert, Slick McFavorite and the Open Your Toys Podcast. Sing it with us now..

But once Hasbro got involved, what was once a just a great toy, became a multimedia phenomenon with mythos, legend and heart that still reverberates throughout our pop-culture today. Join Grim Shea, Marke and special guest host Slick McFavorite as they, recontextualize The Transformers toys, cartoons, movies and reminisce on all that we not only grew up with, but that grew up with us… Roll out!

A l'occasion de la sortie de Transformers Rise of the Beasts dans les salles françaises avec un doublage de qualité assuré notamment par Ophélie Winter et Mister V. Revenons 15 ans en arrière où Linkin Park et Green Day étaient des groupes de musique au top du hit machine avec la seconde production Transformers de Michael Bay, Dreamworks et la Paramount. Adapté cinématographique de l'univers des jouets créée en 1984 Transformers par les boîtes Hasbro et Takara Tomy. Transformers 2 : La Revanche est la quintessence de l'opulence des franchises de blockbusters, plus fort, plus impressionnant mais aussi plus con et abusé que le volet précédent. La particularité de la franchise, le petit ingrédient supplémentaire, la présence au poste de réalisateur de Michael Bay et son style généreux le BAYHEM, explosion, voiture, zouze enrobé comme si on vous vendait que toutes ses explosions et bagarre de robot étaient la meilleure chose que vous aviez jamais vu de votre vie Mais malheureusement, ce spectacle à 200 patates à un prix. Scénario rushé à cause de la grêve des scénaristes de 2007, problème de logistique durant le tournage, Michael Bay qui fait son Michael Bay, un spectacle dans un spectacle.

The Twincast team discusses upcoming Japanese Transformers Masterpiece reveals beginning with MP-58 Hoist and the last piece of the Raiden trainbot combiner, MPG-06 Kaen. Takara Tomy's exclusive version of Optimus Primal and the creative JAXA Sora-Q tie-in, Lunar Cruiser Prime, are discussed next. In addition, recent reveals of the Dilophocon & JP12 Jurassic Park Crossover set receive some side-eye remarks, and everyone unanimously agrees that Legacy Evolution Shadowstriker is a huge miss on a multitude of levels. The continuation of Transformers' upcoming 40th birthday celebration comes next with the cast sharing their favorites from 1985. As usual, the episode concludes with the recurring Bragging Rights segment where the cast talks about their latest toy and merchandise acquisitions.

Its time for another Moonbase 2 episode, with Jason coming back again all healthy and happy to join any for more Transformers news for the week. What's happened this week? Takara Tomy had and Expo where the combined form for Raiden was shown as well as Legacy Breakdown in foot mode and Agora Models show off their Die-cast metal model kit of Optimus Prime. Plus what the lads did during the week.

Many people will remember when the Transformers Masterpiece line was at fever pitch between 2011 and 2015, as it seemed that TakaraTomy had a licence to pump out one incredible figure after another. These were largely the work of celebrated toy designer Shogo Hasui, who has since become a bit of a household name in the fandom. Today, we take a look at what can only be described as a golden time in collecting by taking a trip through the Hasui years. Support the show

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast presents episode 303 which begins with thoughts on the recently revealed Transformers Collaborative product Tonkanator, a mash-up between the Transformers and Tonka toy construction vehicle brand. After a related listener question, discussion shifts gears to recently uncovered store listings that provide information on Transformers Generations toys likely to be released in 2023, including a Voyager Tarn and Leader Class Skyquake. Impressions of the now-officially-revealed Legacy Velocitron sub-line come next, with thoughts shared on upcoming toys such as Road Rocket and Cosmos. The Walgreens exclusive Minerva takes a beating before the cast trips over SG Slicer and his companion Weaponizer Exo-Suit. In-hand impressions are shared of the just-released MPG-01 Shouki from Takara Tomy's Masterpiece Gattai lineup. Listeners questions prompt some discussion on Rise of the Beasts, Earthspark and other Transformers fiction before the episode wraps up with Bragging Rights.

The 302nd episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast begins with analysis and impressions of the now-fully revealed Masterpiece MP-57 Skyfire coming next year from Takara Tomy. The MP combiner project for Raiden has also had its third member revealed and made available for preorders with MPG-03 Yukikaze, so it comes up next in the discussion. After that, thoughts about other recently revealed upcoming toys are shared with both the Transformers x GI Joe Collaborative Bumblebee A.W.E. Striker with Stalker and the Legacy Velocitron Blurr, inspired by early IDW Publishing designs, under the microscope. Initial impressions from the first wave of Super7's Ultimates non-transforming figures comes next, accompanied by opinions on the just-announced fourth wave. A listener question prompts a lengthy discussion about the phenomenon of "collecting fatigue" as the cast searches for solutions before the episode concludes with the recurring Bragging Rights segment.

Show Notes We're back to wrap up our coverage of SD Gundam Mk II, with parts 2 and 3 in a double header! Luckily (?) there's not much substance to part 2. But Part 3? We've got thoughts. We've got feelings. We've got a lot to say. Plus in the research Thom runs through some of the fun inside jokes and references peppered throughout the episode. Unfortunately SD Gundam Mk II, Part 3 does come with a content warning for transphobia at around the 12 minute mark. We do discuss this in the podcast, and there is a warning before the discussion begins for the benefit of any listeners who would prefer not to hear it.** Daruma Whiskey:** The actual brand is Suntory Old Whisky, but the bottle is said to resemble a Daruma. Sometimes it is packaged in a bag that looks even more like a Daruma. Roleplaying Games of the Late 80s: SD Gundam's Princess somewhat resembles Dragon Quest 1's Princess Gwaelin The infamous "But thou must!" scene from Dragon Quest I's English version. A page explaining how the gacha-esque lottery system in Dragon Quest II works can be found here. Gashapon Machines: Although it doesn't mention Japan, this page from Gumball machine and bulk candy seller Gumballs.com describes the development of the first toy vending machines. Penny Shokai (importers of the first capsule toy machines in Japan) were eventually bought by toymaker Takara-Tomy. In this recent tweet they celebrate the history of gashapon and show a picture of a Tomy-brand gashapon machine from 1988 - contemporaneous with SD Gundam Mk II. Here is a history of the gashapon industry over time. In 2017, Bandai issued a press-release celebrating the 40th anniversary of their gashapon business. The press release can be found here, and webpages re-stating its contents can be found here and here. During our research we found an interview between two gacha industry leaders about the history of the industry. However at time of writing the website is not accessible. An archived copy can be found here. Bandai's original 1977 gashapon machine bears a striking resemblance to the machine shown in SD Gundam Mk II. Traveling Merchant Backpacks (Tabetobako): English language sources (mostly antiques dealers) like to call these box/backpacks 'gyosho bako', presumably corresponding to the Japanese 行商 (gyosho, or peddler) and 箱 (hako, box). Examples: one and two. Japanese sources seem to prefer the term タベト箱 (tabetobako), for example, this one from the Aomori Prefectural Museum, or more specific terms like 薬箱 (kusuribako, medicine box), for example, this page from the Naito Museum of Pharmaceutical Science and Industry. A blog comparing the tabetobako in the Aomori Prefectural Museum to the one that appears in Demon Slayer. Here, Hakodate City offers a brief description of Meiji era trade, mentioning the sorts of things that tabeto would sell as they traveled. Kabuki Food Vendors: This page on the website for Kabuki-za outlines the many food options available at the theater. This blog describes a trip to see kabuki and mentions the shouts of the food vendors. Brief discussion of the intimate relationship between food and kabuki, including a type of sushi named for a kabuki play. A blog post about the food experience at Kabuki-za. Here's a very detailed dive into the historical experience of going to a kabuki play with a lot of information about food. Waste Paper Collection: The Japanese Wikipedia page for 古紙, or used paper, includes a brief mention of the private small scale collection industry known as ちり紙交換 (chirigami koukan). This (English language) rundown of recycling practices in Japan briefly mentions independent collectors and the industry's susceptibility to price fluctuations. This page by a paper recycling company talks about the history and the reasons for the decline of chirigami koukan. The company in question was founded by a former waste paper collector who left that part of the industry when it collapsed. Chapter 2 of this paper by a team at Waseda University discusses the evolution of the paper recycling industry in the Post-War era: 都市における資源循環システムの再編 と地域社会の変動. It can be downloaded here. This article from June 2000 talks about the history of chirigami koukan and supposes that economic conditions might be right for a return of the industry. This page has pictures and videos of chirigami koukan trucks in action, as well as an explanation for the decline of the industry and a quote from a former collector. In this Reddit thread from 2019, someone unfamiliar with the practice reports seeing evidence that it's still going on in their neighborhood. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

In this episode, I speak with Bobby “Skullface”. Bobby has a YouTube channel where he reviews collectibles and provides discussion and commentary for the community that has developed around those collectibles. Primarily, his work deals with what are called third-party figures, Third party figures are those that are not made by the owner of the intellectual property nor officially licensed products. When Bobby says that he is known best for his evaluation of Third Party collectibles, he is often reviewing high-end products that appeal to a particular group of collectors but ones that are not produced by Takara-Tomy nor directly licensed by them. With this in mind, we discuss what draws Bobby to these “nerdy” things, why that ultimately led him to creating a YouTube channel, and the relationship his family has with collecting in general. I also want to highlight one important element about collecting that is too often overlooked by those who do not collect – the collectibles serve a function, often a mixture of nostalgia and completionism, but are also a means to an end, specifically, the creation of a community. We end our discussion by turning to community and the importance that cultivating and participating in a community is for living a good life. Bobby can be found on YouTube , on Twitter, or on his podcast, Nerd Rage Radio. Introductory music was written by Alex Yoder.

Who would've thought that spinning battle tops could enchant kids and adults alike? And that the franchise has more in common with Transformers than meets the eye? Definitely not us -- listen along as we learn about the fandom that shouts “Let it Rip!” with glee. ## Episode Outline **Topics:** Beyblade as the first anime series that ran up against our budding cynicism, the complexity of the toys, the complexity of the battles, the reality of the tournament scene, Beyblade World Championships, the World Beyblade Organization, adults are fans?, the physical appeal of Beyblades, why does [this guy](https://knowtechie.com/5-tips-and-tricks-that-every-beyblade-player-must-know/) have four apple watches?, Beyblades and bathtubs don't mix ### Fandom Facts “Beyblade, known in Japan as Explosive Shoot Beyblade, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Takao Aoki to promote sales of spinning tops called "Beyblades" developed by Takara Tomy. ... The series focuses on a group of kids who form teams with which they battle one another using Beyblades. … An anime adaptation, also titled Beyblade and spanning 51 episodes, aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from January 8, 2001, to December 24, 2001. The second, Beyblade V-Force, ran for another 51 episodes from January 7, 2002, until December 30, 2002. Beyblade G-Revolution, the third and final adaptation, also spanned 52 episodes (the last two episodes were released together as a double-length special in Japan) and aired from January 6, 2003, until its conclusion on December 29, 2003.” —[Wikipedia - Beyblade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_Burst) * Even though the original series only aired between 2001 to 2003, a sequel, [Beyblade: Metal Fusion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade:_Metal_Fusion) premiered in 2008 and ran until 2012, a Japanese-Canadian spin-off, [BeyWheelz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeyWheelz), which aired in 2012, and another sequel, [Beyblade Burst](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_Burst), which ran from 2016-2017 (though the manga is still ongoing) * “Beyblade, Let It Rip! The Official Album was released in the UK to coincide with the show's popularity. It featured the anime's opening theme, as well as songs by artists including Nickelback and Busted.” ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade)) * Interest in Beyblade is… a little down since 2004 according to Google Trends ([but is really, really variable](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F03hsp2)). There was a huge spike in interest around late 2010 (Release of Metal Fusion in North America, perhaps?), and has since dropped but is on the rise again. * [The Beyblade subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Beyblade/) only has about 2400 subscribers, and, bizarrely, explicitly prohibits “roleplay, fanfiction, or memes, all of which deserve their own subreddits.” ### First Impressions #### G It was the first series I remember being like “oh they're still doing this thing?” about. Just another physical thing to collect and fight, and one that wasn't part of my growing up at all. #### T Going to be honest; as a kid, even though I loved anime, I thought it was super dumb (and, given timing, I might have just been outside of the age demographics for it)... and I liked Yu-Gi-Oh (although I also had stopped watching that). Fighting magic tops sounded… stupid, and I don't think I ever got over that. I am excited to see if my impressions have changed though. #### Z Before starting the research for this one, my strongest memory of Beyblade was that it was one of what seemed like many shows trying to channel some of the hype around Pokemon -- one of those shows about something collectible that battles and has its own personality (or “heart” in the case of Yu-Gi-Oh). In particular, I remember my younger brother being really into the show, though I don't think he ever got into collecting the tops themselves. I
