Thanks to Robot Kingdom's Facebook Page we now have some new images of Flame Toys Optimus Prime. We will post them below so you can have a look too. While this model kit does not transform is does pack over 40 points of articulation for great poseability. The post mentions that is made from ABS plastic which model fans should appreciate. This figure will be 15.5cm which is about 6 inches for those of us in the US. Also, according to the packaging this model has interchangeable hands as well as his ax and gun.These images are subject to change as the manufacturer approves the final process.

I wonder if it would look better without the exaggerated poses. Kinda hard to judge if I like the stylization when they don't show the kit standing straight...

I think they went a little overboard with the stylish ab crunch. It looks like he's constantly doing a pelvis thrust.

Yeah his abs remind me of how they look in TFP with how skinny he is. He's very triagular. I kinda wonder if that is his most neutral pose in the first 2 pics.

This just makes me wish Trigger would produce a Transformers show.

Sure, Optimus already has shinny nipples after all.

I’m not gonna lie, I think I’m more excited for these model kits over anything coming out of Generations any time soon. Hopefully they’re close to the quality of Bandai’s kits.

I think if you go through the pictures from the shows they were at, they’re in more neutral poses. I like a little bit of thrust on my robots but that’s way too much.

It looks nice, even with the pelvis thrust/ab crunch look, but I swear I saw this exact same iteration of Prime somewhere, I think it was a 3rd party figure from Perfect Effect ir something. Talk about knocking off an IP-infringer

I think this will look nice next to my other kits, exaggerated abs or not (wold be nice if that was on of the articulation points so his spine could straighten up)

I would also love a transformers anime by studio trigger

nope. still looks ridiculous and ugly to me but if that's the style you like then it looks well made at least? i dunno.

I love the dynamic look of this Prime. If the price isn't ridiculously high, I'll definitely pick it up.

It's $40, if I remember right.

That actually looks really cool, and for that price I would be interested in hunting one down

As would I, I find model kits fun. The only thing is that its Robot Kingdom, they are usually the cheaper alternative (before the horrendous shipping). This will probably be more like 50$ at BBTS. I am trying to figure out how it would look like unpainted since i have no paint skills (or patience).

No need to guess on a price, they're listed at $39.99 on TFSource.

I've only been half paying attention to the model kits. I had no idea they actually were being designed by Studio Trigger, I thought people were just joking about that. Definitely buying them now! Flame Toys updated their Facebook page with details last Friday along with photos without the RK watermark:

[FURAI MODEL] 01 - Optimus Prime (Attack mode) pre-order start!

Size from bottom to top head is ~155mm.
Designed by Famous 3D modeling company TRIGGER, this is an Optimus Prime you have never seen.
Good articulation with over 40 movable joints, you are able to set any pose easily.
Model kit is made up of hard plastic ABS, it will be good for professional model kit FANS to make his own coloring style Optimus.
Joint is made up of soft plastic so it will have a stable movable performance.
With different injection color of runner parts and simple assembly design, it will be suitable for model kit beginners.

They've also added two more images Sunday really showing his range of motion.

Well dammit, he's now in my stack for pre-order.

His stylization is what really has me hooked on him, it's really awesome.

Yeah I'm getting him for definite now, can't wait to see the other ones now.

I pre-ordered the @#%! outta him at BBTS.com earlier today. $35.99. I have so many Optimus Primes that transform that this model's inability to transform is a total non-issue for me. This just looks too awesome to pass up, and the wide range of poseability all but guarantees that I'll be fidgeting with him a lot. At the very least, I hope we get a good Megatron to go up against him at some point.
