The Transformers Collection
Transformers Collection (also known as T/F Collection or TFC), is Takara's series of Generation One reissues. Each toy is housed inside a "book-box"-style package that opens just like a book, complete with a small booklet containing profiles of the reissued character and a couple of random characters, episodes of the cartoon and a small portion of the Japanese catalogue.
Some figures combine accessories from different versions of the toys. So far, twenty-one sets have been reissued. Many of these releases have been accompanied by redecoes exclusive to Takara's e-Hobby online service, as well as other Transformers reiussues not part of the Collection line. It is unknown whether or not Takara will continue releasing the T/F Collection figures but it is on an indefinite hiatus while the movie is being made.
The series (up to TFC-18) is showcased in the "Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide" coffee table book, published in 2005.
