Yeah, and there's only so much money any of us can make. It's the folk with extremely well paying jobs or lottery winners that can just freely buy whatever figures and toys and statues they darn well like.

But money can buy you space. Though it requires a lot of the monies.

Becuase it can’t transform. Theirs party companies that are licensed from Hasbro aren’t allowed to transform. That’s why they’re making them look so stylized

Man, I HATE comments like this. As if it's that easy and clear cut. What if I can't budget for a Titan unless I stop buying three Leaders that I also want equally, now what? Stop buying the things you want to buy this other thing you want, what a childish way to look at things. You're still going to want the things you didn't buy so you're missing out no matter what. If your car breaks down or your house leaks, yeah, you stop buying things you want in place of the things you need, but balancing one want against another is never as easy as you make it sound.

While IDW Star Saber didn't show this ability (from my knowledge, at least), this figure, which is based of the crazed IDW Star Saber, can be turned into Saber! This is presumably done by exchanging and removing multiple parts and switching the old head out for a new one.
Thoughts on this? Does this make the figure appeal to you more now? Tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below!
Posted by Emerje on November 24th, 2018 @ 3:56pm CST
Looks like the change is a matter of removing all the stuff from his upper arms and lower legs, replacing the forearms, and replacing the head. Can't tell, but his backpack might be different as well.

The description clearly reads "FuRai Model" just like the previous kits. As with the Optimus and Starscream, and upcoming IDW Optimus, this is a model kit.

Easy to miss when the autotranslated tweet says "Wind Lightning Model" I merely interject to ensure informational accuracy, gotta make sure we're all on the same page and all that.

The kit was a blast to do! It took me about 3 hours, though I usually am a faster builder. The build itself was fun, had some great parts that weren't that fiddly and difficult or distracting. The colors were really nice, and it was more involved than I thought it would be.
Having him all together now, he is stellar. I love how posable and dynamic he is! He can do some great stuff, and I love the aesthetic and weapons. Flame Toys did a really good job right out of the gate, so I'm looking forward to Starscream and whatever comes next!

Looks like the IDW version is giving us more options. Still a great kit all the same, you can still get good looking poses without the extra hands.

Emerje wrote:Yeah, he's a fantastic kit. I built mine about a month ago and he's been standing on my desk ever since. There a re a few parts that could use some glue (like the shoulders and skirting), but he really is a lot of fun. My favorite part is that there's actually a Matrix molded into his chest that you'll never see again after building him. If I had one complaint it's that he should have come with more hands like a pointing hand and open hands. He can't actually hold anything in two hands, any shots you see of him holding a weapon in two hands is just a camera trick, the hand you see the back of is a closed fist and not grasping anything.

Ooh, is that your build? Looks very nice!
Also, new announements from Flame Toys. Most notably:
>A Windblade designed by artist Ban which does leave me wondering "But how would that ever transform?" (which I can forgive because it's adorable).
>Various IDW designs including Drift and stealth bomber Megatron
>A retool of Tarn into THE FALLEN
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on December 19th, 2018 @ 6:29pm CST
To bring you up to speed really quick, there are 2 different lines Flame Toys is doing: larger several-hundred-dollar fully posable action figures, and smaller, $40ish model kits.
The ranks of the larger action figures (Kuro Kara Kuri) already include IDW Drift, Tarn, Shattered Glass IDW Drift, with an upcoming IDW-esque Optimus Prime, IDW Star Saber, and Victory Leo, who do combine for form Victory Saber. The model kits (Furai) include the Attack Mode Optimus Prime, Starscream, and the soon to be released IDW Optimus, IDW Autobot Megatron, Hound, Bumblebee, and Devastator. None of these figures transform, but they are all officially licensed figures/kits.
With this in mind, the new reveals include a retool of the larger Kuro Kara Kuri Tarn figure, now done as the Fallen, complete with flame effects! The Kuro Kara Kuri reveals also include teasers for a movie-esque jet powered version of the IDW Prime, 2009-2011 ongoing Hot Rod/Rodimus, and a gray prototype 2009-2011 ongoing Stealth Bomber Megatron!
The smaller Furai model kits include a gray prototype look for IDW Drift (not to be confused with the above mentioned more expensive Kuro Kara Kuri version), concept art for Windblade, and a render for a G1 Optimus Prime!

Drift looks sweet! I'll have the model kit and the actual figure right next to each other!
G1 Prime is a pass, and surprisingly, the first pass of the Furai model kits for me.
The bigger guys look cool. but Star Saber and Victory Leo are calling my name, and that is where I will dedicate my moneys to

I feel like the staff should all just group together to buy one for Burn. It could literally be his personification in toy form.
course, I'll be really surprised if Hellscream does't pop over here to look at this thing
