Takara Transformers Garigari-kun Crossover Figure

GARIGARICOLA
We've seen some pretty interesting Transformers Crossovers over the years. The Transformers brand has been fused with everything from Marvel Superheroes, Star Wars, and Disney products to the sometimes strange, like Kerororscream. Well, now thanks to a preorder on Robotkingdom, the weirdness level in crossover Transformers have been taken to a new level. Garigari-kun and Takara have teamed up to make a popsicle Transformer. If you're unfamiliar, Garigari-kun is an ice candy sold in Japan. This popsicle-former, called GARIGARI-kun Robo (Cola flavored), features the mascot for the brand that turns into a delicious frozen treat. If you're sick of the same old car and jet Transformers, this will be one to lock on preorder.

You can check out an advertisment for Garigari-kun embedded below.

(based on the drawing) He turns into a steel-flavored ice cream bar with a door/hatch on it ??

What the heck did I just watch?!

So now we have a food mascot transformer.

Weirdest... crossover... ever.

Now that I know a popsicle Transformer can exist, give me the watermelon flavored popsicle Touhou Crossover's Cirno.

Your half.. well you get the idea.

Huh... and then there's that. Admittedly though, I would watch every commercial aired [instead of channel surfing] if it were in Japanese format.

I so want that. I love weird and out-of-the-ordinary TFs like this.
Scythe

FYI: Garigari-kun is one of the best-known ice pop brand in Japan. not only children, adults loves it also. recent weird fad is putting Garigari-kun in a Shochu soda cocktail(called "Gari-Chu").

Just when you think Transformers couldn't get any weirder they do,but honestly I kinda dig this,if BBTS or someone here in the US got this I would sure get one if its in the $10 or $15 range.And like others said this is so stupid it makes sense to get one.Go Garigari-kun.
DarkLiger
W...T...F????? That thing is so insane..I want one.

Oh those wacky Japanese.

No frelling interest at all.

eh, it's good for kitbash fodder,..did somebody mention Signal Lancer?!

I kinda wish Hasbro would do these type of wacky one-off crossovers, but half the fun is having no clue what the reference is. I mean, I'm sure Marvel Crossovers are utterly bizarre to another country, right?

On the other hand, frickin' ICE CREAM!

Absolutely nothing TF related and utterly random crossover. That's the beauty of it (for me.)

I guess I want the authentic soda flavour one. A bit expensive for such a novelty.
Feralstorm
This toy begs to have a smell built into it.
Aernaroth
Not edible? Awwwww, mannnnnnn.
Jazzfan0217
uh...this is transformers related how again ???
