Flame Toys posted on Facebook a few images of the upcoming Optimus Primal figure from their Furai Action line along with the announcement that pre-orders have gone live! While pre-orders have yet to go live via our sponsors, there is currently a listing up on d4toys which is where collectors can get the exclusive bonus piece the Mask of Jushin. In addition to this piece, the figure comes standard with his dual swords and boatloads of articulation.
Optimus Primal is available for pre-order until December 12th, will run for about $175USD and is slated for release in April 2021. Check out the pics after the jump and keep an eye on our sponsors for eventual pre-order listings there.

Sorry I don't have any FuRai figure,but I don't think it's that complex.just some stickers you need to attach them on the parts before assembling them.

How complex was this one to build compared to other Furai models, if you have any?

I'm guessing that Leo's size is similar to Primal's, as he's pretty big compared to some of the others.

Now I'm wondering how it would look with MP's

Already up for PO at BBTS. A hefty $85 price tag on him. But he's quite big, at 7", which puts him in the Devastator range, who was priced at $90. He looks like way more value than Devastator, comparatively, with more detail and actual accessories.
And significantly cheaper than he would have cost as an "In Action" figure.

Do we have a price for Leo yet? Local store where I preordered Windblade is taking reserves for Leo for twice the money they asked for Windblade.

Windblade was always a model, and was never announced for the Furai Action line.
It was assumed that Leo Prime would follow up Optimus Primal in the Furai Action line, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Wasn\'t this the Furai Action lineup?
Did you change it to MODEL? Or will it be released in two lineups?

Says she's in stock at Baba, but I haven't got a notice to pay my balance yet

Wash your sprues with soap and water to get rid of whatever remnant of the release agent might still be on the sprues. Only sanding that you really need to do is after the primer stage. Wet sanding over the parts, re-prime if you need to, sand again. It helps to get a good surface for the paint to adhere to but if you do it right then it will also make the paint job look smoother before varnish.
Many people might tell you to do a light sanding on the parts before paint but I don't think its necessary if you use a good primer. I use Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. It's fantastic stuff. Goes on well and works well in multiple coats.

She's taller with Earthrise Optimus? That's nice. I was fearing she would be under deluxe, and they were just charging us waifu tax.
That's nice. She'll be the centerpiece of my Windblade group.

Everything should be washed before painting. As for sanding, I wouldn't bother. Just make sure you're using a paint that bonds well to plastic
SPLIT LIP
Nope. Snip and clip. (Or snap)
Fallout
do models like these usually need washed or sanded before painting?

My retailer just told me that the cargos would ship to him tomorrow,and it will take 2 or 3 days to him,then he would begin to send me.

I'm still likely to paint up my Windblade but her color separation is REALLY good here. Flametoys has come a long way since their first kits.
