Third party group SXS Toys updated their Weibo account earlier today to reveal prototype images of their Hot Flame figure. Hot Flame is SXS Toys representation of a Rodimus styled figured from his appearances in the More Than Meets The Eye comic book. Although no alternate mode is shown here, the robot mode looks very faithful to the character model we’ve seen on the comic book pages.

You know I actually prefer Lobo Prime over SXS…

Same. I didn't even go for the original Hot Flame (went with Caldius because I'm knee deep in MMC). However, Nautica is a definite instabuy.

Looks cool, but I won't be picking it up. The original red, and recent purple flavors are enough for me.
I hope all these repaints are generating funds for a Nautica.

Thanks for the heads up, especially on their Blurr. I'll have to order both of them then come payday.

He is being clearanced out. You can find him on ebay for under $50. I got mine from China before shipping for $30. I don't see them doing a reissue anytime soon. I don't think their two minibots did very well. I have sinking suspicion that this company may not be around for much longer. I really like their Rodimus and Blurr so I hope I'm wrong.

Picked this up recently and unfortunately I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought. Anyone interested, hit me up.

Does anyone have the version with the new hands, and can provide a photo? Really curious what it looks like.
Razzy
Still on the fence about this with the mia replacement hands… Is the original worth it for $50 including shipping? Does fixing the tight joints require taking then apart, or is it just the matter of dripping some wd40 or whatever into the gaps?

Honestly, I feel bad for SXS. Their toys are good but holy shit they remind me of Sideshow bob and fakes with their luck. Every time they release something an official or more well known company releases the same version.

he is a good toy. i need to transform him. i am too afraid to touch it. looks so complex

I hope they do a reissue of the Rodimus version. I really want to pick one up but it's like no one has him anymore.
Honesty
Oof.
Seriously. Sigh.
I have been wondering if they’re still around. As their Rodimus is more accurate to the source material (and he has an actual neck, too!) and I much prefer their version to the more solidly built, but less accurate MMC version.
So this is what they’ve been spending their time on .. really weird. Who even wanted this? We’ve been waiting a long time for Nautica…

Nice to see they're still twitching! I still want that Nautica figure they teased *shakes fist at sky*
