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.

Sure, Optimus already has shinny nipples after all.

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's $40, if I remember right.

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.

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

Yeah, I'd like to know how much panting is involved, or if it will be like a log of Gundam Models where they are molded in the proper colors already.

Same. I'm really hoping i don't need to paint him to look good (I put together Gundam models but never worry about much more than a few stickers)
Everytime I see him I get more excited. I love the Gundam feel to him, and the headsculpt is absolutely fantastic

Among the model kits, you'll spot both Optimus and Nemesis Prime, plus a small Bumblebee in the superdeformed line and a fully equipped grey prototype, and a Starscream taking a nap on the display cases floor. Check out the images below, and stay tuned for more coverage from the event as the weekend goes on!

I plan to judge the kits themselves off of the first OP we get in September, but I'm hoping they're good, cause I wouldn't mind that IDW Prime or that Bumblebee. Or even Nemesis and Starscream.
And Star Saber looks pretty frikkin boss

Check out the images below and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards! It doesn't look like Leo has a robot mode, but the result - which is totally not GaoGaiGar from Brave - is pretty impressive nonetheless.
Posted by ZeroWolf on July 26th, 2018 @ 8:36am CDT
*puts on yuusha oh tanjou...you just have to*
A few questions:
How much? And how soon can it get to me?
These are amazing, the detail...the sculpting...I don't care they don't transform properly, these are a thing of beauty. And I'm not just saying that as a massive fan of Gaogaigar Final (this totally looks like Genesic GaoGaiGar in combined form)
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on July 26th, 2018 @ 4:45pm CDT
I am so glad I plan to get a lot less generations stuff next year.... I really want this. I will pre-order both as soon as they are ready.
Seriously, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen in the Transformers world.

But something Flame Toys has dipped their toes into as well are the build-able statues, and that is where today's news takes us.

So right now, I have Prime on pre-order. I plan to pre-order Starscream once TFsource gets his link up. And with the Nemesis Prime revealed at SDCC, I'll get him too. And Bee and Hound will both come once they are fully colored and ready for pre-orders, so right there are 5 model kits, wow.
Also, TFsource needs to get the Star Saber pre-orders up, and I will need to wait with the eyes of a hawk for Victory Leo.
So 5 kits and 2 statues. But so much awesomeness......

This Megatron is another one of their model kits, and he is the 2nd of their IDW designs after Optimus Prime, whom we got a glimpse at during San Diego Comic Con. This Megatron is directly based on his Alex Milne design from More Than Meets The Eye, and even includes an Autobot insignia engraved on his chest, the first official Megatron toy to go so far as to have an Autobot symbol permanently attached to his body.
You can sort of see the previously mentioned IDW Prime, for the first time in color, along with part of the Furai model kit Bumblebee, also for the first time in color. We will provide more images of all the Flame Toy's kits as they become available to us.
Update: We also have images from the same show of the newly revealed Devastator and Nemesis Prime.
