It released it, and a toy of TF ANIMATED (a Japanese version) started in Japan. I walked around the general merchandising store in search of the distribution product of the EZ collection.
I heard the mold for Optimus is slightly different then the US release. EDIT: or is that just the paint job difference?
Do you know what Japanese fans are saying about Animated? Do they like the new style? Weird coincidence: Back in 2001 when Hasbro imported Car Robots as Robots in Diguise, it used a mostly red packaging with reverse colour faction logos - mostly silver Autobot and Decepticon/Predacon symbols. Looks like TakaraTomy is doing the same thing.
The Japanese volunteer watched ANIMATED using YouTube and NIKONIKODOUGA. It is long-awaited Japanese development. I like ANIMATED.
What all hit retail in Japan today? I see Cliffjumper there, so was it TA-01 through TA-10? How many of the 2-packs? EDIT: NM, Allspark had it:

The symbol in her chest is red. This is a characteristic of AUTOBOTS appearing in ANIMATED(JAPAN ver). I think that this image is an official thing.
