Flame Toys is one of the biggest makers of licensed model kits, and earlier this evening on Facebook, they announced a new line called "Furai Action", which are intended to cater to fans who like the look of model kit figures, but can't always spend the time to assemble and paint them. This new line will be shipped with the figure already assembled and painted in the box, with premium paint jobs and figure stands, so you can pose and enjoy them right out of the box- if my understanding of their announcement is correct. Their first figure in this line will be an IDW styled Optimus Prime, who appears to come with three sets of hands and his ever trusty ion blaster.
While the announcement of preorders wasn't entirely clear, it appears that preorders will start soon, be taken until December 15th, and be released in February of 2020. No word yet on pricing.
So what do you think of this new line, especially if you're a fan of model kits? Let us know your thoughts on this new line below, and stay tuned for more exciting Transformers news on Seibertron!

Up first, we have box art for 2 of the upcoming/currently being released kits. The Skywarp kit is the 3rd use of this Seeker kit, following his usual mates Starscream and Thundercracker. He appears here in his signature dark purple and black, and his box art features a pretty nice piece of art of Skywarp blasting away. He is currently making his way out to stores. We also have the box art for the upcoming Drift kit, which is based on his initial IDW 2005 body style, ready to take the fight to the Decepticons on the blasted city streets.
After that, we also have new images of the upcoming IDW Optimus Prime kit that comes fully assembled and painted. The new images show us the box, some poses, and also the stand that he will come with to help pose it up and fight the Decepticons!
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

This Optimus Prime is a large extremely posable action figure that is a stylized version of his G1 body complete with a few movie and animated touches. He includes light up eyes and chest, and features a glowing matrix inside his opening chest. The figure is gorgeously detailed and painted, and includes a plethora of accessories.
He retails for around $450 and is set to ship out any time now, now that the final samples have been received. Check out the final in hand images of the sample below, and let us know if you will be picking this guy up below!

Why does he wear a diaper?

This new kit follows in the footsteps of other Furai kits that include highly stylized figures like Attack Mode Optimus Prime and Starscream, and IDW bots like Autobot Megatron and Drift. The kit is a simpler model kit that is great for beginners, and provides a highly posable action figure.
This kit is a take on the G1 cartoon Optimus Prime, featuring some bright colors and some cartoon-esque weapons, such as his energon axe and rifle. The figure is highly posable, as is the norm, and with the special stylization, he appears younger than you might expect an Optimus to look, almost like he is a newly minted Optimus Prime.
The figure is currently preparing to go up for Pre-order, so keep an eye open! Let us know what you think in the comments section below, and stay tuned for more Flame Toys news!

Devastator is the largest Furai kit that has been released so far, standing tall and bulky and showing off his numerous construction vehicle components. He is highly stylized, similar to the Attack Mode Optimus Prime, Starscream, and Bumblebee molds. Some of his features include Scavenger's bucket being used as a punching addition, Hook's crane being used as a cannon, and a really sweet head sculpt.
He is retailing for around $80, and you can place an order for him from our various site sponsors, listed below.

Seriously, those proportions are horrendous. At least Bumblebee was normal and awesome looking. But now, diapers or big "porn-star" packages (looking at you, Starscream...) everywhere.
I need to at least try to find that Bee for a reasonable price. I consider it to be a MP Action Masters Bee.

Also, G1 Prime looks better than I thought it would!

Maybe in hand. But I can't get over that absurd style. Still planning to get Bee. How is the solidity for posing and such? Are those kits "playable" once assembled?
For comparison I tried cheap High Grade Gundam kits. 2 normal bots and two waifus. The waifus are nice but parts fly over everywhere when posing. As for the bots, they feel like normal action figures.

And, I'm relieved they didn't just rip off Make Toys Giant Type-61.

And goddamnit that Devastator is a work of art. He definitely needs paint though, at least for accent work.
Posted by TulioDude on January 21st, 2020 @ 8:19am CST
I it would be awesome to future Devastator toys having this Shovel-Punch action!

I wonder if they sell Diverse Editions of those kits?

Tarn hails from the IDW comics as part of the DJD (Decepticon Justice Division) and was a rather brutal character that wore a Decepticon insignia on his face. He and the rest of the DJD struck fear into anyone they pursued. We are still waiting for Tarn and the rest of the DJD to be introduced into the Generations line at some point. Make it happen Hasbro!

Railbomb wrote:It's kinda misleading to say that these are kits you paint yourself... I mean you CAN if you want but if that was really necessary why release all 3 seekers and color variants of Optimus? They're a lot more approachable than a model tank or plane, all the plastic is colored and there's color-correcting stickers for those who don't want to paint for any reason.
Not only that, but they are also snap-on kits. No glue needed. What super convenient. Still, a sharp knife is needed to remove the sprue marks. Other than that, it's pretty low-level kit building... meaning FUN to do!
I still have to buy one of those TF kits but so far, I did some High-Grade Gundam and there's High-Grade Grendizer Infinitism coming for me. My next one may be the Bumblebee because for me, it will be having a MP Action Masters Bee.

So for those of you who liked the model but didn't like the Autobot aspect, this may be the version for you.

It's really not, the Autobot Megatron was the proper version of this, the one everyone wanted from this design.
The Decepticon version is more like the cheap second run

Rodimus looks great, spot on for the IDW model. Primal looks good too, very Brave-looking.
But holy mama that Windblade! Quite aside from the, uh, obvious, that is some sublime looking engineering on the torso articulation. I imagine she'll be a joy to pose.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on February 19th, 2020 @ 7:16pm CST
Up first we have Rodimus, who is a near perfect replication of his form assumed in the pages of More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light, from IDW Publishing. Rodimus held this form for 6 years, and it has become a well known body for him, although this is the first official toy we have gotten of this design. This also means that soon, you can have the Lost Light Co-Captains together again soon!
Secondly, we have Optimus Primal, who is in an all new form based on his original Beast Wars body. Primal's new body is a pretty bulky body, complete with large arm cannons, large back cannons, some jump jets, and what appears to be individually articulated fingers, which are quite large. He also has some pretty neat stylized fur.
Finally, we have Windblade, who is also a brand new design. This new design acts more like a skin suit, with very little in the way of Transformers-like bits.
All 3 designs will roughly come to a height of 6 inches, and will all be somewhere around the $40-$50 range.
You can check out the 3 new designs below, which are all in the gray stage, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on February 19th, 2020 @ 7:18pm CST
Rodimus, I am so excited to have the IDW design official at last, and He, Megs, Drift, and my CW Magnus will all look fantastic together as the command crew.
And that Primal design is Boss! I love it! I cannot wait to see the Lio Convoy and Big Convoy they make in this style too!
Posted by -Kanrabat- on February 19th, 2020 @ 7:21pm CST
Same thing for the guys too. They all look like kick-ass cyborgs, not Transformers.
