One type of Transformers product that's not always seen a lot of notice is model kits. These are officially licensed items that are generally unassembled in the package, the draw being that you assemble and paint the figures yourself, much like Botcon Custom Clad figures of past years. However, unlike those Botcon figures, model kits aren't transformable figures, though they tend to make up for that by being highly detailed.
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!
