Campaign item
From MediaWiki
A campaign item is typically a small figure such as a Spy Changer, a Mini-Con or a Legends Class figure, or an accessory such as a weapon, that is available as part of a promotion of a new toyline for a limited time and with limited quantities, oftentimes (but not always) exclusive to a specific chain or event. Most campaign figures are given away for "free" as a "reward" for spending a specific minimum amount of money on previously determined products.
The concept of campaign items is almost exclusively limited to TakaraTomy in Japan, though a few Hasbro campaign items exist.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 The 2007-2009 campaign Microns Torque Gain, Skyglide, "Cybertron Sling" and "Destron Vorter" were alternatively released to promote the 2007 Transformers movie and Henkei! Henkei! toylines, but their instructions all merely used a generic version of the classic Japanese Transformers logo instead, omitting the "Fight! Super Robot Lifeform" portion of the original toyline's Japanese title.
