Takara Tomy is expanding across several toy lines at once, with new Transformers MPG and Studio Series figures, Beyblade X production increases and a made-to-order football team version, and a PuniRunes anime season premiering October 4 on TV Tokyo. The company has also scheduled October 24 releases for the Sushi Tomica six-car set and the Dragon Quest Life Game board game.
Takara Tomy's recent output spans licensed toys, its own brands, and an anime tie-in. In Transformers, the MPG line added MPG-24 Eject & Amhorn and MPG-25 Blaster & Steeljaw, both based on the classic anime, while the Studio Series added TS-37 Starscream and TS-38 Prowl in the MTMTE Collection, TS-39 Scourge and TS-40 Blitzwing, and MPG-26 Destron Rhinox, a figure recreating Rhinox's conversion in Beast Wars episode 16. The company also reissued the Back to the Future collaboration figure Gigawatt in 40th anniversary packaging.
Beyblade X remains a priority. Demand surged worldwide and products were short mainly in Japan and Asia from spring 2026, so Takara Tomy announced emergency production increases on July 29 and began made-to-order sales through Takara Tomy Mall. Takara Tomy Arts is releasing a six-design capsule gacha line of mini shooters in early September, each capsule an all-in-one set with the bey, shooter, and winder, at 300 yen.
Other lines moved in parallel. TOYRISE previewed four franchises for Tokyo Toy Show 2026: Mashin Hero Wataru, Mado King Granzort, Absolute无敌 Raijin-Oh, and Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion, the last with a design concept by Shoji Kawamori shown as a gray prototype. Diaclone's Powered Convoy V-MAX got a worldwide release, and the Mospeada Legioss SKUNKs three-unit set opened preorders.
The PuniRunes toyline anime returns for a fourth season, PuniRunes Puni 4, premiering October 4 at 9:15 a.m. on TV Tokyo and affiliates with the story set in Puni School, and comedy duo Ganbareruya voicing new characters Sanrun and Tsukurun. October 24 brings two releases: the six-car Sushi Tomica set at 909 yen each and the Dragon Quest Life Game board game at 7,150 yen.
