The set has 12 blind-box types, mixing nine characters, among them Star Optimus Prime, Super Megatron, Arcee, Windblade, Turn and Drift, with three vehicle types. A box of 12 costs 3,960 yen including tax, releases November 30, 2026, and the full lineup runs to 16 with four secret types.","whyItMatters":"The lineup puts character figures and vehicle models in the same blind-box wave, so a case now delivers both halves of the Transformers toy idea rather than one or the other.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eEach box holds one plastic model kit, one set of instructions and one collector\u0026#39;s card, with packaging at 72 by 35 by 105 millimeters in ABS.
