I’ve been collecting Transformers here in Japan for about 10 years now but I’ve always been a huge fan of the brand. I remember one of my first figures was Bluestreak. At the time I had no idea of Hasbro’s Japanese counterpart Takara, so when I moved to Japan in 2001, my world of Transformers multiplied. I was amazed at all the stuff I’d never seen before like limited editions, re-paints, collectors editions, Japan exclusives etc…and that’s when the Transformers bug bit me and I’ve never looked back! I often look at my collection and think what am I doing with all this plastic? And then I remember how it makes me feel like a kid again and why I fell in love with Transformers in the first place. Pure nostalgia. The idea is genius. A car, jet or whatever turning into a cool robot, it’s like 2 toys in one. I decided to extend my hobby into a YouTube channel. Reviewing new figures and some old ones as well. Please like, comment and subscribe!
