Flame Toys Brings the Rain with Acid Storm Furai Model Plus a Rundown of Recent Reveals

I will fully admit here that the Windblade figure looks absolutely stunning, but I do like the looks of the upcoming Shockwave, Soundwave, and Arcee.

Hey - is Arcee actually doing "The Robot" back there....?

Already got my windblade preordered and am really just impatient for it to show up.

I might be interested in that acid storm and I really don't know why.

I am pretty sure that by the time the new colored images come in, we might get a better understanding of how the figure will look. In the meantime, we can only speculate and wait until further notice.

Seriously, why the giant codpieces?

...could they be compensating for something...? Hmmm

It's fan service for the female fans.

I can't wait for that Arcee to come out. I already have Windblade ordered. I'll get Arcee as soon as she's available to order.

Those Acid Storm colors are much more interesting than the normal colors, I like it. But outside of the IDW Rodimus kit sitting in my stack, I think I am done with the kits unless they do more MTMTE characters

This one has been a slow burn, but at long last, we seem to finally be getting some more news on the Flame Toys Furai model kit Hound figure. First teased in 2017 and given an advertisement in a Flame Toys catalog in 2018, the Furai model Hound uses the G1 Hound design as a basis before adding the furai stylization onto the frame and seemingly throwing in some movie Hound into the mix too. This Hound figure includes a heavily stylized look complete with lots of guns and what appears to be an eye patch head sculpt. Hound appears to be finally moving into production, with the tweet from Flame Toys showing off this particular image advertising that he is coming along and that with patience he will be seen soon.

Check out the new image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Looks neat! In one of his many examples of deliberate irony, Bob Budianski made the first Autobot with a military alt the most peace-minded Bot on the original Ark crew, and these embellishments to his G1 design ratchet up the irony another notch.

The lower legs & feet look all kinds of weird (wheels in the middle, guard rails) and looks unnecessarily limiting the articulation or stability? It's certiainly not G1 or any IRL Jeep inspired. Is it derived from any comic design?

See ya in two years for that Hound's release.

Nope, this is an original design, in the style of their Optimus, Starscream, etc.

Then it's even weirder that the toes are designed like that. A non-transforming, highly stylized and original design, but made to limit articulation (in the shot the feet can't lay flat to the ground, like, no ankle tilt)?

Oh I imagine the ankles have tilts, this is a rough look in comparison to the final product. There will be ankles, these figures have had 3 or 4 joints in the torso alone, they won't leave those out
