Via the HK-TF 變形金剛香港網盟 Facebook group, we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Generations Selects WFC-GS26 Voyager Artfire and Nightstick.
Artfire is a redeco of the Kingdom Voyager Inferno mold which includes his Targetmaster partner Nightstick (Siege Singe redeco) plus four blast effects (2 from Siege Firedrive and 2 from Siege Aimless now in blue). This release is inspired by the Japanese exclusive G1 Artfire from 1987.
You can still pre-order Artfire & Nightstick via our sponsors links below for $36.99 and expected for release in September 2021. Click on the bar to see all the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Board!

Sorry about necroing this thread, TFSource has a great deal on him, $24.99, but came here to see if there were any reports of yellowing before I committed. Easy pass now
Stepper
I just gotten my Artfire, he definitely seems to be more sturdier than Grapple and Inferno in my opinion, maybe a tad too tight on some joints and spots but overall all's good.

Same parts on mine.

I'm lucky mine is still pristine. Sad to read about the yellowing.
peaces
same parts have yellowed for me
megatroptimus
Same here. Head bucket and the hinged part attached to the ladder.

For those looking for upgrade parts on a budget, JRC had put out a filler for the ladder to give the TM storage spot

Still hoping for another boxset like this one for Stepper/Ricochet using the Studio Series Jazz mold, a Targetmaster, and an effects piece or two.
Between this and Golden Disc Jackpot, we have seen that these kind of sets are indeed possible.

Nobody has a connection to Artfire as a character. Artfire has no character to be connected with. He very rarely appeared in the comics and didn’t do anything noteworthy when he did other than brief cameos. What is appealing to him is that he was a very rare Japanese exclusive for the longest time.

I’m a dumbass and bought the Go Better Inferno set. It should do the job, but it’s nice that there is an Artfire-specific gap filler kit.
it’s funny… I have absolutely zero connection to this character, but I am so stoked to get him. The toyhax stickers really transform his appearance (no pun intended… well… sort of). I only wish they figured out a place to put the red/yellow/blue bullseye on his arm, but sadly, that spot is reserved for a gray circle. Mainline does not equal Masterpiece, but for the price, it’s close enough.

Ah, I see. 2 months should be fine. I don't see him being in huge demand.

Artfire, more like Fartfire.
Gamerlingual
I don’t want to sell. I’m just debating if I should wait in 2 months when I’ll have the funds
Neko-bot77
Don't worry, like any collectable, the instant you try to sell it the price will tank so hard you'll consider yourself lucky to break even
Gamerlingual
I just based on opinion. I’ve got the MP. It would have been nice if they added the Tampos on him
Thundershot
He’s still available now if you’re really worried.
Gamerlingual
Does anyone think the price for this figure will jack up in price like certain other figures have recently? I hate the current state of collecting
