Thanks to 2005 Boards members aarnhide for sharing in our boards his double sighting of Flame Toys Furai Model IDW Megatron (Autobot Ver.) & Shattered Glass Optimus Prime Spotted At US Retail
The Furai Model line brings us snap-on model kits ideal for fans who are not familiarized with this kind of figures. For IDW fans they offer Megatron based in Alex Milne’s design and showing the Autobot insignia he wore in the comics. Additionally, we have the new redeco of their Optimus Prime Attack Mode kit, this time in evil Shattered Glass colors.
The two kits were spotted at Barnes & Noble in Milford, Connecticut. You can also find them via Barnes & Noble Website: IDW Megatron is priced $49.99 and Shattered Glass Optimus Prime is $39.99.

I received this on Friday and put it together last night. Really like this kit surprisingly more so than the IDW Optimus. I think that’s due to what seems like higher parts count and detail compared to their Optimus kit.
Both are built with no panel lining or stickers as of yet. My plan is to detail them up with Gundam markers to panel line and paint details with Gundam metallic markers.

Nice, thanks for the link and coupon code. Just ordered it and it should arrive to me Monday with free shipping. My total was $41.04 with tax, cheapest I saw that you can currently get it compared to anywhere else.

With how the promos are working on BN's site, you get 5 off of every 25 bucks you spend on toys/games, and 15% off with the save15 code (That expires today or tomorrow), so you can seriously get a discount easily. That and free shipping over 35 bucks, makes it even better. Ordered Megatron yesterday, but tempted by TC and BB with it being $59 for BOTH at the moment.

It comes with a variety of stickers that could make it look more detailed. However insignias apart, I never apply stickers to any of my figures due to my unsteady hand and fear of the stickers getting tatty with age.

Huh, so the actual release looks a lot more unpainted than the product shots. It particularly looks bad that the swirlies on the chest are unpainted.

Here it is.

Is there a picture of this guy next to Siege Megatron?

Megatron is a great figure. Nice looking and solid. However I could not bring myself to putting that Autobot badge on him. View attachment 28419955

Nice. I have Kapow holdng me a copy of Megatron to be sent out with Drift. I still need to get the paint and glue together to have a proper crack at Prime.

Nice! Although I still haven’t built Bumblebee yet. A bit behind but I’ll buy these when I see them. Good looking out.
