Takara TOMY official updates the release date for the Transformers 40th Anniversary TF-40A Lio Convoy. Originally scheduled to be released in February 2025, but was delayed due to unknown factors. The release date has been delayed until August 2025.
Due to various circumstances, the release of "4OTH SELECTION Lio Convoy" has been postponed.
It has now been decided that the release will be in late August 2025.
We would like to once again deeply apologize to everyone, including our customers who were looking forward to the release, for the inconvenience caused.
That's it?
Disappointed!
Maybe some white paint on the red parts seen in the lion mode. They should be the undersides of all the pieces if I'm not mistaken so that they don't affect the robot mode. Maybe some gold paint on the red hinges on the arms for the small mane pieces. That would've been the very least other than the new mane and lion head.
However I'd pay quite a bit more if they retooled those Primus awful kibble chunks on the robot arms. Those arms and the chest and the way it all converts for lion mode sucks. And those lion leg and shoulder kibble chunks on the robot arms is horrible. There had to be a better way to do all of that, especially on a release that could've cost anything really. I can think of a few better ways actually. None of which would really be crazy either. This figure would be so much better if something was done with all that junk. But no, longer blades in the lion legs to make the bad looking weapons look slightly less bad.
I just noticed. They didn't paint the molded in mane on the lion's back plate. You've got to be kidding me.
