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
- ↑ The 2007-2009 campaign Microns Torque Gain, Noise Effect, Wedge Shape, Skyglide, "Cybertron Sling" and "Destron Vorter" were alternatively released to promote the 2007 Transformers movie, Henkei! Henkei! and Revenge 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.
