In his own words, he would be Hasbro's "face in Japan" for many years. Later, he served as a consultant to Hasbro Europe when they were continuing the Transformers brand on their own, and subsequently served as a consultant for the brand following its reintroduction to the US market from 1992 through 2001. At the same time, he also consulted other companies such as Mattel, Takara, Tomy and Toybox, often serving as a bridge between Japanese and American companies. Dunsay was originally scheduled to attend BotCon 2004 as a guest, but had to cancel the trip later. He would provide an interview for the BotCon 2004 program guide as a substitute.
