The announcement was made via the companies social media accounts.
The prototype is based on an updated design rather then the one that Flame Toys originally unveiled, with this one bearing wings that resemble her comic/TV/toy character, instead of the more butterfly looking ones which were intended to compliment her geisha look.
What do you think of this model? Will this be your first Furai model kit when it releases? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

More importantly how does she look from the back? That seemed to be the thing that angered most people (that would never have bought this in the first place) the first time around.

Funny thing is every bit of original model concept art and the prototype above showed her from behind, but this time they seem to be being careful about how they pose her.

Anyway, the wings were always my primary issue so I'm happy with this. I also like that they made the gold headpiece more visible from the front.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if there are any changes in the rear, although I suspect not, due to the lack of shots from behind.

As is clear, this one still has a way to go before its finished and ready for sale but it does give us a good idea what the final product may look like. Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri range is their high end non-transforming figure range and already includes heavy hitters like Tarn and a fully combinable Victory Saber (made up of Star Saber and Victory Leo).
What do you think of this version of this fan favourite? Are you looking forward to the eventually unveiling of the prototype? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'll never buy him because of the price, but I'm still looking forward the finished product.

The first thing I noticed was the amount of care they took in posing.
I may purchase this one if it's a reasonable price.

I didn't noticed the guns at all. It's the legs that scream "Gundam".
The overall look as well take some heavy inspirations.
It's not a bad thing to be honest. Way better than the "happy crotches" of the kits.

For me the legs scream PotP Starscream, most Gundam don't have cankles like that.

A bit.
I forgot how goofy he looked with his Popeye limbs.
Glad I skipped.

That’s some Cybertronian booty.
