ANGELES PARTNERS LLC Brings Authentic Takara Tomy Transformers to US Fans – A Nostalgia Trip for Collectors and New Generations

Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – ANGELES PARTNERS LLC, a dynamic import and distribution company based in Seattle, Washington, is making waves in the collectibles world by officially bringing authentic Takara Tomy Transformers to US shores. For decades, fans in the US have often relied on secondary markets or faced limited access to the original Japanese releases of these iconic transforming robots. Now, ANGELES PARTNERS LLC is changing that, offering a direct pipeline to the quality and collectibility synonymous with the Takara Tomy brand. ANGELLES PARTNERS LLC, located at 4607 Woodland Park Ave N, Seattle, WA, 98103-6655, and reachable at 717-761-1288, isn’t just a distributor; they’re fans themselves. “We saw a real gap in the US market,” explains a company spokesperson. “US fans deserve access to the same high-quality, meticulously designed Transformers that collectors in Japan have enjoyed for years. We're bridging that gap." What's the Big Deal with Takara Tomy Transformers? For those unfamiliar, Takara Tomy is the original creator and Japanese manufacturer of Transformers. While Hasbro holds the licensing rights for distribution in many Western markets, the Takara Tomy releases often feature unique paint schemes, subtle design differences, improved materials, and exclusive figures not readily available through Hasbro channels. This makes them highly sought after by serious collectors and those looking for the ultimate Transformers experience. “It’s not just about ‘better’ or ‘worse’,” the spokesperson clarifies. “Hasbro and Takara Tomy both make fantastic Transformers. It’s about choice. Collectors want to be able to build a collection that represents the full spectrum of Transformers design, and that means including the Takara Tomy lines.” A History of Innovation and Design Takara Tomy’s legacy in the toy industry goes back much further than the Transformers franchise. Originally a manufacturer of wooden toys in 1924, the company evolved with the times, becoming known for innovative and high-quality plastic toys. In the early 1980s, they launched the Diaclone and Micro Change lines, which served as the foundation for the Transformers universe. These early releases focused on realistic vehicle transformations and intricate mechanical designs – hallmarks that continue to define Takara Tomy’s approach today. The original Transformers toyline was born from a collaboration between Takara Tomy and Hasbro, bringing the concept of transforming robots to a global audience. While Hasbro took the lead on marketing and distribution in many regions, Takara Tomy continued to develop and release its own exclusive lines, often pushing the boundaries of design and engineering.
