Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri Star Saber revealed to have a Saber mode

Posted by notsoalex Nov 24, 2018 at 2:59pm CST 16,617 views
A tweet from the official Flame Toys Twitter shows us that the Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri Star Saber has a customization option for Saber! For those who may not know, Saber was the "middle stage" of Saber. You have the small Brainmaster called the Brain of Courage which then connects to the transtector Saber.

While IDW Star Saber didn't show this ability (from my knowledge, at least), this figure, which is based of the crazed IDW Star Saber, can be turned into Saber! This is presumably done by exchanging and removing multiple parts and switching the old head out for a new one.

Thoughts on this? Does this make the figure appeal to you more now? Tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below!

For comparison:

Looks like the change is a matter of removing all the stuff from his upper arms and lower legs, replacing the forearms, and replacing the head. Can't tell, but his backpack might be different as well.

Coming from Flame Toys' Twitter page, we have images to share of their upcoming non-transforming Megatron figure - now in colored sample form. The figure, based on Megatron's well-known Autobot design in IDW's More Than Meets The Eye comics, was seen in grey prototype format at New York Comic Con earlier this year.

Check below for a machine translation of Flame Toys' tweet and mirrors of the images, and let us know what you think on the Energon Pub Forums too!

Wind Lightning Model Megatron (IDW ver.) The coloring sample is complete!
We are preparing for the start of the order now, and I hope you can wait a little more. We are mtmte to reproduce the atmosphere of the in-in-the-air as much as possible.

Nice. Is this a model kit, like the Optimus Prime "Attack Mode" model?

The description clearly reads "FuRai Model" just like the previous kits. As with the Optimus and Starscream, and upcoming IDW Optimus, this is a model kit.

Easy to miss when the autotranslated tweet says "Wind Lightning Model" I merely interject to ensure informational accuracy, gotta make sure we're all on the same page and all that.

I’m waiting for their take on Deathsaurus.

Really looking forward to building Megs and getting Victory Leo!

Also, an IDW Deathsaurus would be really sweet as a model kit

Starscream has come in stock at TFsource, so he, Flame Toys Prime, and MPM Bee are on their way! Looking forward to building them next week!

Alright, opened and assembled Optimus this past week, and Starscream will be coming this week.

The kit was a blast to do! It took me about 3 hours, though I usually am a faster builder. The build itself was fun, had some great parts that weren't that fiddly and difficult or distracting. The colors were really nice, and it was more involved than I thought it would be.

Having him all together now, he is stellar. I love how posable and dynamic he is! He can do some great stuff, and I love the aesthetic and weapons. Flame Toys did a really good job right out of the gate, so I'm looking forward to Starscream and whatever comes next!

He looks awesome D-Max! How about a picture next to his model kit brethren? ;)

Yeah, he's a fantastic kit. I built mine about a month ago and he's been standing on my desk ever since. There a re a few parts that could use some glue (like the shoulders and skirting), but he really is a lot of fun. My favorite part is that there's actually a Matrix molded into his chest that you'll never see again after building him. If I had one complaint it's that he should have come with more hands like a pointing hand and open hands. He can't actually hold anything in two hands, any shots you see of him holding a weapon in two hands is just a camera trick, the hand you see the back of is a closed fist and not grasping anything.

Looks like the IDW version is giving us more options. Still a great kit all the same, you can still get good looking poses without the extra hands.

I'm working on it! As of right now, he and Screamer will go on my Gundam shelf, as they will compliment those 3 pretty darn well

Spent the evening putting the 2nd kit together. 3 hours or so is about the build time for me with these, and they are pretty sweet! The Japanese Gundam/TF mix is awesome

Screamer looks very nice! I may pick him up in Skywarp colours if they ever go that route

Ooh, is that your build? Looks very nice!

Also, new announements from Flame Toys. Most notably:
>A Windblade designed by artist Ban which does leave me wondering "But how would that ever transform?" (which I can forgive because it's adorable).
>Various IDW designs including Drift and stealth bomber Megatron
>A retool of Tarn into THE FALLEN
