As is clear, this one still has a way to go before its finished and ready for sale but it does give us a good idea what the final product may look like. Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri range is their high end non-transforming figure range and already includes heavy hitters like Tarn and a fully combinable Victory Saber (made up of Star Saber and Victory Leo).
What do you think of this version of this fan favourite? Are you looking forward to the eventually unveiling of the prototype? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'll never buy him because of the price, but I'm still looking forward the finished product.

More importantly how does she look from the back? That seemed to be the thing that angered most people (that would never have bought this in the first place) the first time around.
Funny thing is every bit of original model concept art and the prototype above showed her from behind, but this time they seem to be being careful about how they pose her.
Anyway, the wings were always my primary issue so I'm happy with this. I also like that they made the gold headpiece more visible from the front.

The first thing I noticed was the amount of care they took in posing.
I may purchase this one if it's a reasonable price.

I didn't noticed the guns at all. It's the legs that scream "Gundam".
The overall look as well take some heavy inspirations.
It's not a bad thing to be honest. Way better than the "happy crotches" of the kits.

For me the legs scream PotP Starscream, most Gundam don't have cankles like that.

A bit.
I forgot how goofy he looked with his Popeye limbs.
Glad I skipped.

Screnncap and post here, plz?

Arcee shares the same designer as their recently shown off Windblade figure, and you can certainly see the same design cues when looking at them. While recent Arcee transforming toys have caused a debate amongst fans, this figure (while not screen accurate) won't have that issue being a non-transforming model kit! So no worrying about her being a shell former with a bulky backpack!
No doubt Flame Toys will keep us updated when Arcee will be available to preorder!
What do you think of this version of Arcee? Will you be getting her? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Not sure about Arcee just yet, so I'll wait until images of the prototype drop. I would have preferred them doing Nautica though.

If they do Nautica, they had better do her in IDW style and not in this style. I don't like it, and I do not want to see Nautica done this way before she gets a proper IDW accurate form

Those Twitteratti can sit on a dildo made out of broken glass for all I care. The more attention you give those parasites, the more powerful they become.
Ignore them and see them wither away like vampires under the sun.

Nautica would be kinda neat, I'm not a big IDW fan but I like her design and I know lots of peopple are big fans of her. I'd like her to get an actually good figure based directly on her IDW appearance first, but as these are niche figures I think it's hardly the worst thing in the world if they take creative liberties- nobody's going to be buying these instead of actually transforming Transformers after all.

Until we have just as much Arcees as we do Bumblebees. Hasbro needs to balance out their sins.
Also what really bothers me is how people can get so upset at what other people spend their money on. If you think THIS is bad then don't think about what some anime fans have bought.
But what bothers me MORE is that the news credit went to someone else? Where was it posted before my post? BAH!

First off, I edited the news item to include you as well as Powered Convoy. Secondly, Powered Convoy got the actual news credit itself because he'd sent the email to us before you posted on the boards

Not actually upset, but thanks for clearing it up! I was unaware that sending an email was required. Good to know!

What makes this even worse, is that this image is just the design done by the artist, and not the final product that Flame Toys will release, even if it is their declaration of intent.

Don't get your hopes up. The outrage mob WILL find something be outraged at.
Anything to get attention.

Right now the outrage seems to be over them drawing her like she's wearing a bikini, even though she's basically been like that since 1986. There was another complaint about her being drawn with a bellybutton, but...

Lio Convoy looks...phwoooooar! that's the noise he makes too as a roar just wouldn't be good enough. The primal looked better in color but I still wasnt sold on it. this however.

That's not all though, they've also announced open preorders for two more entries in their model kit range: IDW Rodimus, and Shattered Glass Drift!
While no price has been given for Leo Convoy, both the model kits are set to retail for $40.

Drift is yet another Gundam. Meh.
But that Lio Convoy... HOLY SEXY MOFO!

Lio is a kit though, that's what the Furai line is. The Kuro Kara Kuri line is the obscenely priced figures.

Nope, Lio is "Furai Action", the action figure line in the same style as Furai Model. They aren't priced like the model line, though. IDW Optimus Prime from last year was $75, but Optimus Primal coming in April in nearly $200. Lio will probably be somewhere in between I'm guessing.
Lio and Primal kits are coming, though.

Rodimus is so obscenely IDW and perfect I will get him.
SG Drift is good, I am trying to sell my regular Drift kit (still sealed) because I have the Generations one and the kit was entirely redundant and a bad buy, but SG for the SG shelf is much better.
BTW, if anyone wants a Starscream or Drift kit, HMU, I'm getting rid of those 2.
