Kuro Kara Kuri Black Star Saber Additional Pictures And Ordering Information Announced

This is absolutely bad-ass! And that's not a statue. That's a genuine ultra deluxe ACTION FIGURE. Truly a work of art. Not for me because I don't really care for the character and I certainly do not have 600$CAN+ to spend on this. But for the fans who love it and have the money to burn, it's certainly amazing.

For the price, it must also be relatively big. 10" tall like a leader class figure?

Argh why do I always make that mistake!

As for size, if I recall correctly from past displays, he is a big boy

That is so cool. And a SDCC exclusive thing too? Dang. I want it though, the colors with Victory leo

Greetings Seibertronians! Following on from the reveal of Furai IDW Optimus Prime Clear Version, we've learned, via fellow Seibertron user, -WonkoTheSane-, that Flame Toys have now updated their social media accounts with how you can go about getting hold of this new redeco of their previously released Furai IDW Optimus Prime kit.



As well as being cast in clear plastic, the model kit's box has been completely re-designed. The box is now a tin featuring a 3D effect Matrix of Leadership on it's cover.



Via their Facebook account, Flame Toys revealed that this piece was only going to have 800 units produced. They also broke down how much stock was going to be available at their outlets:

Official Retail Shop SEN-TI-DEN: 50pcs
Wonder Festival SH: 200pcs
SDCC: 300pcs
[url]D4toys.com[/url]: 200pcs

It's price is set to $60.

Here are more photos showing off this kit in different poses.

























Do you want this version of Prime? Want to see Starscream like this instead? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

This Optimus is nice enough, but it's a... clear missed opportunity to not have made Ghost Starscream instead of, or in addition to, this Optimus.

You can't go to San Diego Comic-Con this year, but you can still bring the exclusives home. As part of the Comic-Con@Home event (which started Wednesday and runs through July 26), Flame Toys has begun taking pre-orders for Furai Model Optimus Prime IDW (Clear Ver) and Kuro Kara Kuri Star Saber Alternative at Bluefin Collectibles.

Clear Optimus Prime (full gallery here) comes in special packaging including a special metal box for $60 coming in August. Black Star Saber (full gallery here) features 6 purple lights and Decepticon symbols for $400 released in December.




Are you getting either of these? Be sure to let us know and what you think in the Energon Pub forums below!

Greetings Seibertronians! With SDCC at home roaring into gear, Flame Toys have taken to Twitter to reveal several figures, including one fans of Star Saber have been waiting a while for!

Kuro Kara Kuri IDW Rodimus



Kuro Kara Kuri Victory Leo



Flame Toys are teasing that they'll release pictures of the finalised coloured Victory Leo combined, with their previously released Star Saber, soon.

Furai Action Optimus Primal



Primal will be the first to represent Beast Wars in Flame Toys Furai Action range. According to their tweets, releases will feature die-cast, high articulation and be fully painted non-transforming figures.

According to a tweet by famed animation studio Trigger, Primal was designed by Satoshi
Amemiya, one of the staff at Trigger.

Furai Action Leo Prime



Leo Prime is to be the second release of the Furai Action line, and Studio Trigger have revealed he was designed by their staff member, Masaru
Sakamoto.

What do you think of these new releases? Want to see Victory Saber in all his glory? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

That Victory Leo and Optimus Primal look BAD-ASS!

I'll wait for the colored pictures of Rodimus and Leo Prime to but I can tell those too will look great.

So did the twitter crowd succeed in getting wingblade cancelled? Haven't heard anything on her in a while

Rodimus Knight wrote:So did the twitter crowd succeed in getting wingblade cancelled? Haven't heard anything on her in a while

To be fair this is the first we've seen of Victory Leo in a while. Just have some patience.

I am getting those kitties. Both of them.

Rodimus Knight wrote:So did the twitter crowd succeed in getting wingblade cancelled? Haven't heard anything on her in a while

These are all figures, she's a model, they haven't shown any new ones of those off yet.

Emerje

wow, that Primal looks so good! It lives up to my expectations from the concept art! Leo Prime is looking good too.

Excited to see Rodimus in colors, it's cool that we are getting him in both sizes.

That Victory Leo, wow. So so so good!!! Now to wait out the colored images with Star Saber, so I can decide at last whether to jump or not.

Rodimus Knight wrote:So did the twitter crowd succeed in getting wingblade cancelled? Haven't heard anything on her in a while

With Flame Toys, you can get a tease or reveal, and then it be months or over a year before any more news hits. We've had Victory Leo teases dating back to 2 years ago and this is our first color look. And we have a Furai Hound teased a year and a half ago or so, but still nothing past that first grayscale prototype model.

And to be very fair, that kit needs redesigned. that was a pretty bad kit

I'm still waiting for more about this Rodimus..

So what's next, Flame Toys Great Convoy?

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, -WonkoTheSane-, has let us know that Flame Toys have unleashed a new of reveals following on from yesterday! These include new sketches of forthcoming products in their Kuro Kara Kuri line and a fulfilment of a promise made yesterday, full colour pictures of Kuro Kara Kuri Victory Saber!

Kuro Kara Kuri Jazz



Kuro Kara Kuri God Power Jet Armour



This appears to be an add on set for their already available Kuro Kara Kuri Optimus Prime, giving him a jet pack upgrade like that enjoyed by his live action movie counterpart in the end fight of Revenge of the Fallen.

Kuro Kara Kuri Victory Saber



After first being teased almost two years ago, we finally get our proper look at the Victory Combination in all its glory.

What do you think of these first looks and Victory Saber? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

This Victory Saber is no longer a Transformers.

It's a GODDAMN GUNDAM!

...and I love it.

I was thinking more its joined the Brave series! It's Genesic GaoGai Victory Saber Gar!

Jazz is looking superb, would love s Generations figure of that design

Only way to describe this is...

Oh, My, God, this is AMAZING! Frick YEAH!

Victory Saber looks awesome.Make me wish more fiction would follow these characters
Jazz also has been drinking the Gundam juice it seems.

Day 206 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I must admit, I didn't really like Jazz when he was first revealed, But he's kinda grown on me now.
Hopefully they'll downsize it into a Furai model at some point.

I, for one, don’t mind Gundam Jazz. He looks like the Siege toy that we never got.

Gosh, that Victory Saber is downright beautiful! Guess it's time to pull the trigger on Star Saber.

Also, I wonder if that jet pack from Prime is an alternate item, or if they will release Prime with the kit. Doesn't look like it forms another robot or anything. And I really want to see it in color, it is so the RotF/G1 Prime crossover figure.

I too want more info on the Rodimus Furai kit. and it's also interesting that they completely redesigned the Kura Kara Kuri, it was based on the 2009 ongoing rodimus design, and now it's the MTMTE Rodimus base design.

Jazz looks really cool. But I wonder about him, since he really seems to have a majority of Prime's legs.

Flame Toys has posted an image of an updated Windblade design.

Eh... I liked the butterfly wing design better. It made her stand out from other Windblade designs. And the waist area being more angular is annoying. Still gonna get this.

Hard to tell from the picture, but at least her wings are bigger.
Religious outrage aside, I think the main criticism was that Windblade looked more like a human girl wearing a costume than a transformers. If the uncanny valley is being dealt with, it's great.

Depend on how she turn out, this may be the first Flames kit I'll buy.

Judging by the comments, both sides are claiming victory

If the puritains celebrate, then I'm glad. Maybe, just maybe they will now shut up.
But I don't get my hopes up. They will STILL have something to whine about.
...Well, same thing with the standard fan I guess!

One thing I REALLY love about the whiny virtue-signaling outrage mobs. Thanks to them, I discovered so many cool and fun things that I would never have known existed if they'd just kept their mouth shut. So again, thank you for your hard work as free advertisers, dear Outraged Puritains!

(Kinda remind me of the Karen meme, which was something totally obscure until some Twitter puritan "influencer" took notice loudly.)

Eh, I honestly preferred the original design. The wings were far more interesting, kinda resembled a bow.

Black Hat wrote:Eh, I honestly preferred the original design. The wings were far more interesting, kinda resembled a bow.

Hasbro could have easily asked for that change wanting her to resemble her evergreen self for brand recognition. In fact despite the outrage over the outage, I think Hasbro was more the driving force behind changes.

Looks like Windblade will stand out like a bland sore thumb compared to the other stylised designs, but I guess as long as her bewbs and butt doesnt stick out then yay?

Will be nice to see the model over the picture, only kit I havent liked so far is the Primal but Windblade is looking too close to a generations figure at the mo for me to be interested in it -I'd rather hunt down a hasbro TR Windblade.

Furai Windblade isn't sexy enough so you'd rather pay $50 extra for the blocky Titans Return figure?? I mean, do what makes you happy, but I don't get your reasoning. The T30 Generations figure is more stylized and cheaper.

I don't think the redesign goes too far enough, but I'm now leaning toward getting it, though I'll wait for the final physical design to commit. I haven't liked how FT has managed their self-inflicted controversy but I'm not personally at the point where I'm going to drop their products.

I'm not bothered about Arcee being sexy, she's a bot, I'd just like it to have a little bit of flair and style. The new design does look an improvemnt over it looking too human. The old wings were better and this version doesnt seem to have any stylising that ties in with the other kits until the physical product is shown. I prefer jet vehicles to have working cockpits so TR over the generations figure even if it's going to be pricier.

Fair enough. I happen to really like the TR figure, especially compared to the early one. It can stand on its own and the alt-mode is more stable, too. I'm disappointed that after starring turns in RiD and Cyberverse she's MIA in WfC so far, but I'm sure there will be another Generations toy before too long, even if it's unlikely for her to appear in Kingdom.

I do wonder how a more "G1" classic style would look on a Earthrise Windblade?

I think the wings are better. No matter who the TF is, I really dislike it when the alt. mode is practically eradicated from the bot mode. I mean if it can actually work, then it's fine, but the figure shouldn't look like it transforms magically.

But, really? That wasn't the biggest problem area and I think we all know it.

The biggest "problem area" was Frank and chums crying about people liking something they didn't.

I just think it was badly sculpted there. I get the effect they were going for, but the effect was weird.

As a lone figure, it was absolutely fantastic. But as Windblade, it didn't work.

I think this looks better, but they only really halfway fixed the look. I would have preferred some more body work done and kept the wings as is, they were neat, even if i do prefer this winged look

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, AcademyofDrX, -WonkoTheSane- and Rodimus Knight have let us knkw that Flame Toys have taken to Twitter to show off the updated Windblade design for their Furai model kit range.



Unlike the previous design, this one retains her wings as as seen on all her over appearances, since she first debuted.

What do you think of this update? Will you be getting her to add to your Transformers model collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

Wait. The previous post was not an official news? That took a while.

Well, it's vacation season after all.

Glad she had her wings so she can still have that Transformer heritage to her, especially since she looked naked without them.

I'm wondering if the larger wings are the only change or if they did additional ones.
Since Cyberverse had her able to near fully retract her wings, I think it would be cool if they had both sets they designed with this model included.

Amazing, she’s still Windblade and still feminine without the unnecessary anatomically correct giant breasts. Genuinely interested in getting her now

Was that so hard?

She didn't have "giant breasts" to begin with. Sounds like someone's a closeted misogynist that thinks that female anatomy is inherently offensive.

My only issue is the sexualization of TF figures. I mean we’re a kids franchise too, I don’t think it sends the right message if the “boy” figures get media accurate figures while female characters must be sexy.

I don’t want to restart this discourse, and I don’t mean to instigate or anything. I can promise I’m not some closeted misogynist (I mean heck I’ve got figures of Lara Croft, Bayonetta), I just believe there’s a space for everything, and I personally believe sex should not be a Transformers selling point.

Kids are unlikely to be buying expensive collector's grade model kits. "Think of the children" is not a valid argument.

Why not? In kids' cartoons I'd agree, but for figures or media aimed at older fans, there is literally nothing wrong with a little bit of flirtiness here and there.

Looks like it's time again to pretend this thread doesn't exist.
