Um, um, um.......

I am so glad I plan to get a lot less generations stuff next year.... I really want this. I will pre-order both as soon as they are ready.

Seriously, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen in the Transformers world.

Flame Toys is making a lot of news here recently, the most recent of which was the reveal that their IDW Star Saber statue can combine with the newly revealed Victory Leo statue to form a very stylized Victory Saber. (Yes Please)

But something Flame Toys has dipped their toes into as well are the build-able statues, and that is where today's news takes us. Following their first Furai Optimus Prime kit, which is available widely for Pre-Order and due this September, we have news that their second model kit is now going up on live Pre-Orders as well, and that second kit is Starscream!

Their new build-able kit of Starscream follows in the paths of their previous Optimus Prime, bringing a decidely Japanese design to the party for the old Seeker. The Pre-Orders currently have him up for $40, the same general price found for Prime, and due out in October.

Check out the description for Flame Toys themselves below, along with the new images, and let us know if you intend on taking the dive and trying out some of these model kits and statues!

Honestly, unless Optimus really sucks, I intend to go all in on these guys.

So right now, I have Prime on pre-order. I plan to pre-order Starscream once TFsource gets his link up. And with the Nemesis Prime revealed at SDCC, I'll get him too. And Bee and Hound will both come once they are fully colored and ready for pre-orders, so right there are 5 model kits, wow.

Also, TFsource needs to get the Star Saber pre-orders up, and I will need to wait with the eyes of a hawk for Victory Leo.

So 5 kits and 2 statues. But so much awesomeness...... :michaelbay:

GaoGaigar inspired? Figures as the original Starsaber was designed by Kunio Okawara aka the guy who designed Gundam for Poppy, Scorponok and a lots of Brave stuff.

Awesome! I'm on that. I've been waiting for Flame to make a character that I'm really into to pick up one of these amazing figures. Star Saber will be it! And to think that they are making Leo to go with him...amazing!

The Flame Toys news keeps on trucking along today folks! Even after the Reveal of Victory Saber and the pre-orders going live for the Starscream Furai model kit, we have even more news to share with you, and this time it is a special and a first: we are getting our first look at Flame Toys IDW Autobot Megatron!

This Megatron is another one of their model kits, and he is the 2nd of their IDW designs after Optimus Prime, whom we got a glimpse at during San Diego Comic Con. This Megatron is directly based on his Alex Milne design from More Than Meets The Eye, and even includes an Autobot insignia engraved on his chest, the first official Megatron toy to go so far as to have an Autobot symbol permanently attached to his body.

You can sort of see the previously mentioned IDW Prime, for the first time in color, along with part of the Furai model kit Bumblebee, also for the first time in color. We will provide more images of all the Flame Toy's kits as they become available to us.

Update: We also have images from the same show of the newly revealed Devastator and Nemesis Prime.

Check out the image below, courtesy of @sk1359664840 on Twitter.

Megs has an Autobot symbol, but the display for his figure has a Decepticon symbol . . .

Very intriguing . . .

by **ReubenPrime** » Thu Jul 26, 2018 9:18 pm

This isn't enough! We need official :HASBRO:

and

toys of IDW Optimus Prime and Megatron, that can actually transform!
(And please, HasTak, for the love of Primus, no stickers this time.)

Flame Toys is showing a lot of new product at the AGH Hong Kong show. We do not have the best images though, but Flame Toys themselves have provided official images for all these products.

We have official images for:

Victory Leo: Grey model so far, this fully articulated figure combined with their Star Saber to make Victory Saber (a really cool grey area of a non Hasbro/Takara company able to make somewhat of a Transforming figure).

Optimus Prime: Grey model so far, this fully articulate figure comes with a giant sword.

IDW Bomber Megatron: We only have the comic image they will be basing this fully articulated figure off of.

Shattered Glass Drift: this is a red redeco of the fully articulated Drift figure they released.

Bumblebee: Coloured images of this new model kit.

Optimus Prime : Model kit with preorders now open.

Nemesis Prime: First coloured images of this recolour of the Optimus prime kit mentionned above.

IDW Optimus: Coloured imaged of this new model kit.

IDW Autobot Megatron: Grey model of this upcoming model kit. He is seen with an autobot symbol, it is unsure if there is an option to change that to a Decepticon one.

All of these images were shown on Flame Toys' Twitter.

So much to look at...so little money to spend. Flame toys really know how to make this stuff.

Geez, that second Optimus design... could he thrust that pelvis any farther?

I don't know what the original source is as I found this on MyFigureCollection.net, probably the HK show going by the English tag but maybe Wonder Festival.

FuRai Model Devastator.

Well that's weird, I wonder how I missed that post? Instead of relying on email notifications I go directly to the forum and jump to the last unread post on each topic. Must have been a glitch or something that took me further down the page than that. :-?

You might have read the original Autobot Megatron post. I made that post before heading to bed, and Devastator got added onto it a bit after I posted it. so you probably missed them adding it on since you read it when it was just Megs

Ah, that would definitely have explained it. I remembered Megatron, but for the life of me couldn't remember seeing Devastator before. Started thinking I was going crazy. 8-}

Thanks to Youtuber Peaugh we have a video review for the soon to be mass released Flame Toys Furai Model Kit Attack Mode Optimus Prime! The figure, which is a roughly voyager sized in terms of height and does not transform, is a model kit very similar to Gundam models, and is heavily stylized. He comes with his trademark blaster and ax, both of which have been stylized as well. The figure is incredibly posable, with the same posability standards as the previously mentioned Gundam kits.

While the video review does not include the build itself, Peaugh does make mention of the time it took him to build, which was 3 hours, though 3 hours with interruptions, as he mentions.

Check out the video, and let us know what you think of this new model kit below!
