Different between Japan Ver and Asian Ver Part 2I received PM from Mr.David Lee aka redreacer in lyn after i post the Japan Ver VS Asian Ver article and he would like to share with us with more information about Japan Ver and Asian Ver , And i found this is very interesting and must read for those newbie belt collectors.
Bandai Japan actually send all the Items to Bandai Hong Kong to distribute to others Region , What bandai Hong Kong did was to remove those unrelated items for example promotion catalog , brochures , peel off unrelated sticker and so on.

ASIAN VER
Asian Ver did exist but mostly in DX belt and some Souchaku Henshins . To differentiate is easy because Japan Ver packaging is different from Asian Ver , In Asian Ver packaging the toei logo will be remove. From the packaging at the back, no barcode that indicate the yen price of the item is present in HK Asian version. Another thing to take note too are the user manual , if it is Asian ver the user manual come with English and Chinese language. Please take note too this did exits in SIC and SHF but so far I didn’t see one yet. (but Mr.David told me he have seen one asian exclusive SIC Asian Ver)

The DX belt and Souchaku henshins they even use the same molds from the original Japan version, therefore on some toys we still see the prints on the toys like "2007 TV Asahi" for our local DX Den-O Belt. Quality wise are the same sellers are just aiming to make profits with that excuse.

The only difference for DX toys are Sentai Robots. In 2007, Bandai Hong Kong decided to use their own molds and factories to make their Sentai Boukenger mechas. So, from 2006's Hong Kong Boukenger Robots, they are of different paint quality (slight difference, normal collectors can't even tell the differences) and the Toei and TV Asahi marks on the toys no longer present because of the new molds used. DX Belts and Gears and possibly other stuffs like Figuarts and all, are the same totally because they use the same molds.
Me and Mr.David hope this article did help you all to understand more on Japan Ver and Asain Ver.Lastly i would like to thanks MR.David for sharing this good information with us
