>>9091Yes, initially. Only the original '80s toys that eventually got rebranded into Transformers were ever made in Japan. Today not even Diaclone, which is Takara Tomy's pride and joy in the mecha toy segment and specifically aimed at adult collectors only, is made in Japan (it's made in China). But yeah, at the same time today's Chinese brands just roflstomp whatever Bandai or Hasbro does.
