Revision as of 18:15, 28 December 2011
A subsidiary of Takara, Seven released several lines of Transformer artifacts in Japan. These included Transform Jr, Model Kits, Decoy Giftsets, Vinyl figures and the Sunstreaker/Countach Super Tuning and Honda City Turbo Transforming Toys. Because of the TF packaging Seven's lesser known items are often referred to as "Jr" items, though they're technically not. Seven toys are known as hook toys, as they were cheaper toys that don't command their own shelf spot in a toyshop, and could hang on hooks on the wall.
The Seven logo セブン can be seen on the front of the boxes and Takara is denoted by a small diamond or square sticker of varying colors.
