Based in Spokane, Washington (522 W RIVERSIDE AVE STE 5135, 99201-0580, United States, phone: 828-299-2989), ASHA TRAVELS LLC isn't your typical toy store. They operate as a dedicated sourcing service, building relationships with collectors and suppliers across the globe to find genuinely rare and high-quality items. This commitment to authenticity extends to their latest offering: the original Takara Transformers G1 series. Why Takara G1? A Collector's Dream For those unfamiliar, Transformers G1 (Generation 1) is the iconic robot-in-disguise line that launched a global phenomenon in the 1980s. While Hasbro was the primary distributor in North America and Europe, Takara was the original Japanese manufacturer. And for many serious collectors, Takara G1 figures are the holy grail. “We noticed a huge demand from collectors specifically looking for the original Japanese Takara releases,” explains a representative from ASHA TRAVELS LLC. “Hasbro versions are great, but Takara G1s often have subtle differences – in color, paint application, accessories, even the plastic used – that make them highly sought after. It’s a detail-oriented hobby, and Takara releases are considered the ‘definitive’ versions by many.” What sets Takara G1 apart? Several key things: Color Accuracy: Takara figures are often praised for having more vibrant and accurate colors compared to their Hasbro counterparts. Certain figures, like Optimus Prime, show a noticeable difference in the shade of red. Paint Application: The paint apps on Takara G1 figures are generally considered more detailed and meticulous. You’ll often find sharper lines, more precise detailing, and a greater overall level of finish. Accessories: Sometimes, Takara releases included unique accessories or variations not found in the Hasbro versions. These small differences can significantly increase a figure's value and desirability. Plastic Quality: Many collectors believe Takara used a slightly different plastic formulation that feels more durable and exhibits less yellowing over time (a common issue with older Transformers). Box Art & Packaging: Takara boxes often feature unique artwork and design elements that differ from the Hasbro releases. For many collectors, the box is just as important as the figure itself. Rarity: Takara G1 figures were produced in smaller quantities than Hasbro versions, making them naturally rarer and more difficult to find in good condition. What’s Available from ASHA TRAVELS LLC? ASHA TRAVELS LLC is currently offering a curated selection of authentic Takara G1 Transformers. The inventory varies, but typically includes: Autobots: Optimus Prime (various releases, including the coveted “Convoy”), Bumblebee, Prowl, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Ratchet, and more. Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Shockwave, and others. Minibots: Grimlock, Dinobot Leader , Frenzy , Rumble, Gears, Big Powered. Completeness: Figures are offered in varying conditions, from complete with original accessories and boxes to loose figures for display or restoration. Grading System: ASHA TRAVELS LLC assesses each item and provides descriptions regarding condition, with detailed photos, so that buyers understand exactly what they are getting. “We understand that buying vintage collectibles online can be risky,” says the ASHA TRAVELS LLC representative. “That's why we prioritize transparency and accurate descriptions. We carefully inspect each figure, document any flaws, and provide detailed photos so buyers can make informed decisions.” More Than Just Toys: A Piece of Pop Culture History The appeal of Takara G1 Transformers extends beyond simple nostalgia.
