My first haul in over 5 years... unbelievable! I thought I could resist the purchase but after being 'poisoned' by online pics (when you're retired, you have a lot of time at hand...), I knew I had to own it. Love the blue, sort of gave my Big Convoy collection some colors.
A redeco of the original Big Convoy, it was originally released in Japan as a lucky draw figure. Limited and beyond reach. So glad it is now released as a TakaraTomy Mall Exclusive, the first time it has been released outside of a lucky draw.
Now, for my review of Blue Bigconvoy aka Blue Convoy...
Front of the box
Back of the box
Sides of the box
Unboxed...
Toy in shrink wrap...
Comes with a comic, unfortunately in Japanese
The blue woolly mammoth is finally free...
Some play value here... in order to move his trunk and tusks, you just need to...
... pull back the lever/knob on the top of his head
... pull back his ears
From Beast mode to Mammoth Tank mode, just few simple steps of transformation...
lift the front and back parts; and swap
... and there, you have it. Next, is to affix all the missiles...
Now, for the robot mode... again, simple steps. If you have the original Big Convoy or any of the earlier redecoes, this should be a piece of cake. Really love the various shades of blue, with the occasional grey plastic and silver on its body; and some gold on the eyes and the Maximal symbol... nice!
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa...
oh yeah... my bling bling Matrix!
Side by side with Big Convoy...
With Nemesis Prime...
Now, together with Black Big Convoy...
We are bruised (blue black, get it...haha)
Altogether now...
I feel at home, surrounded by "blueness"
My new Big Convoy collection
There are 7 redecoes altogether...

I'm still missing 3 of them but I consider myself done, for now. Back to retirement but who knows, I might come out from it, yet again...
Btw, anyone mentioned that I collect boxes too?
Avengers... err.. I mean boxes, assembled!
