Flame Toys' third Furai Model is coming this month and we're getting our first look at his box thanks to the folks at Planet Iacon. The highly anticipated IDW Optimus Prime kit will be here soon and as with the rest of the line the box is adorned with some truly gorgeous art! And of course the kit itself is going to be great, featuring a ton of articulation, rifle, and a choice of six hands. Still no pointing finger yet, though.
Excited to get your next Furai Model fix or just happy to finally get a version of IDW Optimus Prime? Sound off in the Energon Pub forums below!

The latest galleries to debut on Seibertron.com are the Furai Model Kits Starscream and Optimus Prime from Flame Toys. These officially licensed "figures" are a little different than most Transformers products since they are actually model kits which must be assembled and, depending on your preference, can also be painted prior to assembly if you prefer that look. Optimus Prime was released earlier last year and Starscream was released about a month ago, which can be purchased at various retailers online. Both of these highly articulated and poseable non-transforming figures were samples given to us by Bluefin, who is the North American distributor of Flame Toys products. Check out the full galleries of Furai Model Kits Starscream and Optimus Prime by clicking on the images below.

They look cool, and I really like building Gunpla so this is awesome. I'd probably on get Screamer though, so I can leave the Optimus Prime in my budget for SS38

I can forgive them because they are model kits that are heavily stylized. There are tons of Transforming pieces of Transformers merchandise, I'm good with some good non-transforming versions. They add some variety

And to finally wrap up our coverage from Toy Fair 2019, we bring you our final gallery of the event: the Flame Toys figures! Toy fair had some of the currently available Flame Toys model kit figures out on display, such as the Attack Mode Optimus Prime, Starscream, IDW Optimus Prime, and Attack Mode Nemesis Prime, along with some of their upcoming figures like Thundercracker, Bumblebee, and IDW Megatron. Also on display were their larger action figure based Transformers, including the soon to be released Star Saber, IDW Optimus Prime, IDW Bomber Megatron, and the prototype for Victory Saber once more, though we are still anxiously awaiting colored shots of the new Victory Saber.

For a brief moment I thought the unpainted Megatron figure was Vector Prime. I'm sad now.

I'm excited cause Bee is gonna be out here at the end of the month, and I'll have him and IDW Prime coming home in April then hopefully.
with Thundercracker set for summer, I wonder who will be next? IDW Megatron, Hound, Devastator, and Skywarp all seemed to be around the same in terms of readiness for retail in the past few months, so I wonder when they are set to hit. I am ready for all 4 of those guys.
Also looking forward to seeing when we'll get the reveals of others in the concept stage like Windblade and G1 Prime

After several months of teasing and images, we finally have some new pre-orders up for the latest Flame Toys Model Kit - IDW Autobot Megatron!
This new model kit is the 7th model kit to be available for order, following their Attack Mode Optimus Prime, Starscream, Attack Mode Nemesis Prime, IDW Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Thundercracker. Megatron is based off of his appearance in the IDW More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light comic book series after he became an Autobot during their Dark Cybertron crossover, an appearance that was designed by Alex Milne. The model kit will stand about 6 inches tall, and will be highly posable, though non-transformable, as is the norm with these kits.
You can find Pre-orders below from various site sponsors, with the price falling in around $49.99. Let us know if you are placing your pre-order below!

I think so, but 6 inches is the normal size for figures like Marvel Legends and such, and apparently model-building companies have started to join the 6-inch club

Pretty near it depending on the figure, though I'd be surprised if it's as small as 6" since these tend to be a little more than that. I just happen to have the first Prime kit on my desk and he's only a little smaller than Siege Voyager Megatron, by around a few millimeters, making it more like 7". I guess with all the dynamic posing they lose an inch.

Hey plenty of transforming in the other books that were going on.
The MMC figures robot mode is also stupidly out of proportioned and inaccurate and the sad thing is no one knew what his altmode was so they just made up one and when Alex finally revealed it in his art book and on Twitter it was just Megatron laying down with his chest folded out. How did no one guess that?
I do own a handful of MMC figures(not that Megatron) but the more time has passed the more I see the flaws in their stuff. Everyone is just not proportioned well. Last thing I got was their cyclonus because I wanted a cool looking cyclonus and while I still enjoy him I just see him and see all his problems

Sounds like a personal problem to me. Last time I checked MMC Tyranntron is very popular and he fetches a pretty high price on the secondary market. I guess it's because of those odd proportions right?

You’re a an idiot to buy on the secondary market becaaue he’s never been out of stock on a bunch of sites and he’s popular with people who desperately wanted an IDW Megatron.
Doesn’t change the fact his proportions and over all look is off and a lot of people who got or wanted him said they just won’t change him coz his altmode sucks.
I’m personally cool with tossing a sticker on an official Megatron. I have an imagination.

Take it easy kids, there's room for both licensed non-transforming model kits and unlicensed third party figures. Personally, I'm glad that comic-based designs have any options at all. I'm holding out hope for a Furai Lost Light Rodimus, which I would prefer to Hot Flame and Calidus.

The kits are OK. Its one of those niche things to me that other companies at least made a transformable figure of. No hate I give credence to both.

I agree. This gives us options.
The 3P guys are there for those who want ones that Transform, but they are more expensive and unlicensed, which is why I haven't bought any.
And while these ones don't Transform, they are official and they are kits, which are really cool, and it helps in the "Attack Mode" and the "IDW" kits to not transform, so they can utilize every ounce of exaggeration in their design, which is awesome to me. I don't mind them not transforming since they are kits.
I really think that should Flame Toys keep going, we could get some more Awesome IDW MTMTE kits, and maybe even start branching out more into kits of the 13. I think this line as the potential to go on for years and give us a lot of cool designs that we have been aching for

My thoughts exactly. These are great products and very fun as well while third party stuff is just too expensive (I understand that they are the price they are for the company to make a living but my budget is my budget), once I can find a good UK supplier for these I plan on filling my boots (I can't remember if Kapow stock these, I'll have to recheck)

I agree. This gives us options.
The 3P guys are there for those who want ones that Transform, but they are more expensive and unlicensed, which is why I haven't bought any.
And while these ones don't Transform, they are official and they are kits, which are really cool, and it helps in the "Attack Mode" and the "IDW" kits to not transform, so they can utilize every ounce of exaggeration in their design, which is awesome to me. I don't mind them not transforming since they are kits.

I know it's pro Hasbro here that's why 3P got placed in an unearthed corner of the website. Hail Hasbro and hail licenses that give you a basically a Non-Grade Gundam model kit. It would be nice if they could even parts form like 1/144 HGUC Gundam kits do. I have built model kits from multiple series the only exception I make is for Gundam because since 1980 Gundam was always mostly a model kit. I built the Starscream kit its great but its not a transformer. So lets stay off licenses because obviously Hasbro doesn't care as long as it isn't infringing on their IP/design of a character. So lets just say you like licenses and I like my toys to transform because hence the word 'transform'. Have fun kids!!

Sheesh, Will. We're supposed to stop murders, not commit them
I did see a really nice (and surprisingly affordable) Macross model kit that was really articulated and could transform. But I assume since most Transformers need to look a particular way, having them transform without being a shellformer or partsformer would have them lose articulation.
On the subject of 3P, or more precisely, IP-infringing products, I thought Tyranttron had a pretty weak alt mode (Siege Megatron's was better lol), and pretty expensive, so I would much rather get this guy instead

Touche?, no very bright but here I'll make it easier for the cheering squad.
You have a transformer that does not transform.
I have a toy that actually does transform and apparently does it well with better quality and doesn't have a license. I guess you have to talk down to things you cant afford? I'll wait for the comeback.

You cant compare what you don't own. I have them all. Lets see all the problems that Siege Megatron has he is not that high on the list of voyagers, he ranks lower than Starscream who has the faux chest. Umm most reviews of MMCs version are all mostly good so you dont know what you are talking about.

Hey look man, I got no problem with you getting your 3P guys. I'm a fan of the looks but not the buys ok? That subset of the fandom isn't for me really.
And besides, mine doesn't transform, but it'll be fun to build him and pose him to buggery and beyond. I don't mind the non-transforming type whenever they are buildable

Nah I built the Furai Starscream...and I build Gundam like there is no tomorrow. It's just if MMCs version was trash then yeah I would say so but it's not proof is in the want and reviews. I'm not just a 3P guy I'm an all around collector. I go for the best. The kit looks like he stepped of the page of the comic. It will be a hit

Thanks to a new listing on both, TFSource and Robotkingdom, Flame Toys have revealed their latest entry in their Furai Model kit series, and it's none other than Shattered Glass Optimus Prime!
The listings include brand new images of the completed non-transforming model kit, which itself is a redeco of their previously released Optimus Prime Attack Mode. The preorders are now live for this kit. Please enjoy the selection of new images below which we have mirrored for your convenience.
What do you think of this kit? Will you be building this twisted mirror image of everyone's favourite Autobot commander? Does this mean a Shattered Glass Megatron could soon appear? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Even though obtaining imported products has never been easier these days, some fans still like taking the car, driving around to stores and looking for items there. Well we have good news for them, the Flame Toys Transformers Optimus Prime Model Kit (IDW Version) is available at Barnes and Noble. The bookstore seems to be the main distributor of these kits in the US and continues to stock them as they are released, to a much later date though. We have an image below of this Optimus found in the store. You can also purchase the kit online at the Barnes and Noble website. The figure is $35.99 and features a ton of articulation, rifle, and a choice of six hands.

wasnt this news a couple weeks ago? I got mine 3 weeks ago. Maybe I’m thinking another site. Anywho yeah I got mine and he was a treat to make. Really looking forward to Megatron.
Also he’s way cheaper there! He’s $35 and I think most online stores have him for $40 and ya toss shipping in there over $50. Surprisingly something at Barnes and Noble is cheaper than other places.

Maybe another site. But this isnt really a sighting, its more to let fans know that they are there and that B&N are gonna keep carrying these.

I don’t recall the anime like Optimus but Starscream and IDW Optimus so far have been seen so if people buy them I’m sure they’ll keep ordering them.
