Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASLP Air Group LLC, a dynamic import and distribution company based in Seattle, Washington, is thrilled to announce the arrival of a highly anticipated line of Takara action figures to the US market. For collectors and fans of classic Japanese toy lines, this is a big deal. ASLP Air Group, located at 2025 1st Ave Ste 900, Seattle, WA, 98121-3123, and reachable at 415-835-3993, specializes in bringing unique and hard-to-find products from around the globe to US consumers.

And now, they’re diving into the world of collectible toys, specifically focusing on the immensely popular Takara lines. “We saw a real gap in the market,” explains a spokesperson for ASLP Air Group. “A lot of US collectors were either paying crazy prices on the secondary market, or struggling to get their hands on these figures at all. We figured, why not bring them directly to the US, making it easier and more affordable for fans to build their collections?” What's the Big Deal with Takara? For those not in the know, Takara (now part of Takara Tomy) is a legendary Japanese toy manufacturer with a history stretching back over 90 years. They're famous for incredibly detailed, high-quality figures, often focusing on transforming robots (think Transformers – Takara was a key player there!), die-cast vehicles, and iconic character lines. They aren’t just toys; they’re pieces of pop culture history. These aren't your typical mass-market action figures. Takara figures are known for their engineering, their articulation, and their overall collectibility. Many older figures, especially those in pristine condition, can fetch significant prices on auction sites. What’s Available from ASLP Air Group?
