Flame Toys Furai Model Kits and Kuro Kara Kuri Figures on Display at San Diego ComicCon #SDCC2019

The more I look at these guys, the more I think of them are "reverse traps". Most of these bots are actual FEMBOTS trying to pas themselves as boys with their very feminine curves.

Like in Final Fantasy 9.

You and me both. It is a fantastic looking thing, and I want to be able to get that design in some fashion

I'd really love to come across one of those Optimus on clearance. I'd make myself a R63 version of Optimus.

Following the conclusion of San Diego Comic Con, the various exclusives of the convention are being scattered around for distribution to those who could not make it. Most are set to show up on Hasbro Pulse, with an expected date for the Transformers exclusives to be September 4. However, one exclusive is now currently available for your purchase: the Flame Toys IDW Nemesis Prime model kit!

The Nemesis Prime kit is an exclusive evil Decepticon redeco of the IDW Optimus Prime model kit, and is now available for $40 on Bluefin. The set is only a limited stock, so if you have interest in an IDW Nemesis styled Prime, you don't have long to jump and make sure you get one!

This Nemesis Prime also follows a trend started last year as the Attack Mode Nemesis Prime was also exclusive to a convention last year, in that case the New York Comic Con.

Let us know what you think of this kit below, and tell us how much you are enjoying the Furai model kits as a whole as well!

Just, wow. If you're a lover or just a peripheral fan of the Flame toys then buckle up because these are some amazing designs from Flame Toys of Kuro Kara Kuri Rodimus And Furai Model Optimus Primal, Lio Convoy, Big Convoy, and Optimus Primal! Also shown in a black silhouette is God Power Jet Armor! Seemingly with two modes this appears to be an add on piece to armor up previous Flame Toys Optimus Primes.

These were just recently posted to the Flame Toys Twitter account and show what few could argue are delicious fan service details. Windblade gives an impression of Sarah Stone's art from her IDW self titled series. Lio Convoy has his shoulder cape and a sword reminiscent of Alpha Trion's. Optimus Primal has all of his glorious guns drawn and ready for battle. And Big Convoy, well, he just looks big and mean and ready to stomp through an army of Predacons.

We've included the tweets that headed each image which gives additional tidbits such as artist names and status of production.

Enjoy the images and as always share your views with the Seibertron crew in the forums. And Stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

"GOD POWER JET ARMOR!! You know what is it for? The concept design is by Toshinao Miyauchi!!"

"The third round "Big Convoy" is decided to be commercialized from the Beast Wars series of the thunderbolt model! The concept art was drawn by Tetsu Amamiya, director of TRIGGER, as in the first installment! Please look forward to the future progress of the Beast Wars series!"

"From the Beast Wars series of thunder and lightning models, the second "Leo Prime" is decided to be commercialized! Concept art was drawn by Mr. Masaru Sakamoto of TRIGGER! Please wait for the progress in the future too!"

"The Beast Wars series starts from the lightning model! The first is "Optimus Primal" decided to be commercialized! The concept art was drawn by Tetsu Amamiya, TRIGGER! Please wait for the future progress!"

"Wind Blade is now in progress!! Please look forward to the new information!"

"Rodimus will be the next item in [鉄機巧Kuro Kara Kuri] series!! Here is the concept art by Hyogo Funabashi!!"

Windblade is cute, but I'd rather Frame Arms for my moldel kit robo-waifu needs.

However, those 3 Beastimuses look BAS-ASS as fok!
I may consider getting at least one of them.

Wait, so the ROTF Jetfire armor is for their G1-styled primes? Darn, I was kinda hoping they were starting to do movieverse models. I wonder if you could find a way to attach it to one of the SS Primes though. . .

Do we have confirmation that the armor actually fits all the previous Prime models? I have the IDW version. If this armor works with him, I'll definitely be picking it up! May not be canon, but how cool would it be to see IDW Optimus armor up?

All the other concepts are pretty cool, but I got my eye on that Lost Light Rodimus. That looks sweet

It's for the Kuro Kara Kuri figure line, not the Furai Model line.

Shame that the only update on Windblade is that they're still making Windblade.

Emerje

You know what, looking back no I had no confirmation of that and shouldn’t have stated it. Sorry about the confusion gang that’s my bad.

The Beast Primes are amazing and I want them. Also Windblade looks adorable, she will be mine.

Definitely not my thing, but it's encouraging to see them try some transforming/partsforming with that optimus armor. Looks like it might include a godbomber or "apex" trailer too?

Also looks like they're toning down the pelvic thrusts, which is good.

Holy shirt.

My body is ready for the Beasts. All 3 of them look incredible! Lio Convoy has the most interesting look, but I am stoked for another Big Convoy!

Excited to see what the Windblade will look like when done.

That jet kit looks awesome, it'll be great to see how it looks on the Kuro Prime.

Rodimus is also looking really good! They need to do that design in the Furai kit set too.

Still waiting on the Hound they teased a prototype of last year, hopefully he comes before these guys. But I am ready for all the kits they have. I have 2 waiting in my Stack and 2 more that should be coming in stock very soon

I remember when I hated Windblade. But now I have at least one version of every figure they've made of her, and I'm most likely going to get this one.

I don't hate her myself. But I just have Windblade fatigue. She have been propped up a bit too much.
But this here sucker would still pay for a Siege version though. I'd love a Windblade tetrajet version.

I'd rather have a reissue of the TR version. Along with TR Misfire. Stupid smegging eBay markup

Bad distribution in your area, or you unfortunately missed out?
Either way, it always suck to rely on the secondary market to get ordinary figures.

The (IMO better) LG version of the TR mold, with regular sword, targetmaster and superior paint, is IIRC fairly affordable on Mandarake. At least, last time I checked.

Missed that figure so I actually checked the site (first I had heard of it btw) and every listing appeared sold out

Ah, fair enough. Just watch and wait, it's a preowned site so stuff regularly comes back in stock.

Well see Black Hat, I actually like the "weapon seat" gimmick of Titans Return. Plus the TR swords are designed to double as the altmode cannons, so..

Missed out because I was prioritizing other figures.

Hot on the heals of its recent package gallery, Flame Toys has posted a short gallery for Kuro Kara Kuri Star Saber. The photos reflect the final figure just in time for its August release after paint issues prevented its original May date. And what a paint job it is! It's a gorgeous figure with the gallery showing off the accessories, articulation, and working lights. In addition we also got a second gallery. Thanks to a tip from user Grimlock we're treated to a gallery by Weibo member NOTRAB. Enjoy the galleries and let us know if you're dropping the $400 or so to buy this.

he is so badass,
he is as good as alex milne's design.

I love this, Star Saber looks amazing! Still wishing we could see Victory Leo in color!

Flame Toys is definitely taking the name cue and making the summer sizzle with their recent assault of incredible reveals. This time they've posted some new images on their Facebook page of their IDW Autobot Version Furai Megatron! This time we get an obscured look at what his packaging will look like. Anyone who enjoyed this character's evolution during the latter half of IDW's previous Transformers run is sure to feel an irresistible pull towards this model. Whether you love or hate where Megatron ended up his choice to join the Autobots is undeniable as a milestone of the character throughout all of his incarnations and is beautifully represented here. Per the post "Let's little bit review [Furai Model] Megatron (IDW Autobot ver). It will be shipped soon too."

From our previous article back in June which listed the product information:
"Flame Toys Megatron Furai Model Kit · MSRP $50.00 · Available July 2019

The Flame Toys Megatron Furai model depicts the powerful leader of the Decepticons with a modernized design as seen in IDW’s Transformers comic series. Standing just over 6 inches tall, Megatron features his signature fusion arm cannon and offers exemplary articulation with over 40 moveable joints. Constructed from differently colored ABS plastic injection runner parts and simple a snap-together assembly, the kit is ideally designed for both beginners as well as more advanced builders. The Flame Toys Megatron Furai model kit will debut in July; MSRP for the kit will be $50.00."

Also from our previous article:

That shiny chest sticker...

Everything else is perfect though, and he may just be my first kit I buy

Unless they make Tarn

It' a damn shame this wasn't Siege Megatron…. .

Not sure about the chest stickers yet, but we'll see in hand. I'm eager to get the next round of kits. TC and Bee are awaiting some glasses and Megatron before they ship out!

This pose is so simple yet so menacing.

Which is even funnier considering he is an Autobot here

Drift looks frikkin incredible! That is how you make your very expensive $300 Drift into a model kit right there!

Not a Drift fan, but holy crap that is one amazing-looking figure.

Thanks to a post from DaimChoc Reports we've found a video review posted by Liu Brother Mode Play aka 刘哥模玩 on YouTube for the new Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri TF-02P Power Burst Version of the vile leader of the Decepticon Justice Division, the vile voice of venom, the destroyer of deserters the megalomaniacal Megatron fanboy, Tarn! This amazing figure comes with an eye catching metallic deep purple finish, his standard double barreled fusion canon (compensate much?) and a removeable facemask. The piece was limited to just 200 and is currently listed as 'sold out' at most on line retailers but keep your optics peeled you never know what curve balls Flame Toys may throw your way. Enjoy the view and share your thoughts in the forum. As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news.




Here's some additional official images of this masterful model kit - click on any of them to head to Flame Toys at Facebook.

Make a frikkin Furai kit of this guy already!!!

Meh! Let me know when HasTak Generations line gives Tarn and the rest of the DJD their due!

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Make a frikkin Furai kit of this guy already!!!

100% agreed, a Furai Model Tarn would rock.

Also I really wish we'd get an original design Megatron like we did for Prime and Starscream. Those Trigger designs are really cool and I wanna see how Megatron would look through that "filter".

I am so stoked for their Devastator in this style, and the coming Beast Convoys

While this is nothing new and the kit is about a year old, just wanted to share this. While I have been searching certain stores for the kits that came out this year, I went in to a hobby store and they had OP, Nemsis Prime, Thundercracker, Starscream and Bumblebee. I had been stopping by Barnes and Noble stores but out of the blue i stop in this store and they had them. So this will be my first kit to put together, cannot wait.

SGM

The attack mode Prime mold is pretty unique and fun! I have the original and I have the SG one on pre-order, it's good

Thanks for the feedback D!

Built by Bumblebee this weekend, and I have to say, he is my favorite kit so far. The hammer, the helicopter pack, the everything is great. He is really chonky too, a perfect little Bee boy.

You’re always coming in to work hammered I’m worried about you bro

Engineers and their hammers.

Great pics! You’re rad at posing bots dude seriously.

I’m loving this Bumblebee.

Bumblebee is looking good! Might be my next one!
