Via TransFans Facebook we can share for your great in-hand images of the new Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri Optimus Prime for your viewing pleasure.

The Kuro Kara Kuri line brings us officially licensed non-transformable action figures with top-quality finishing and material including die-cast. The design is highly stylized, but still recognizable as the heroic Autobot leader. The images let us see the great range of posability, as well as the LED effects. A fine piece of sculpting and engineering. Did we mention he’s got die-cast? We are sure you will be more than impressed with the images.

While based in the G1 character, this mold takes some great homages to other Optimus Prime incarnations like Animated Prime’s rocket axe, Bayverse Prime’s swords, Prima’s Star Saber, and the enormous War For Cybertron battle axe (from the video game, this one exclusive to D4 Toys).

Not much left to say. Click on the bar and enjoy the mirrored images on this news post and share your impressions on the 2005 Boards! This figure is already shipping and you can still order yours via our sponsors links below.

Thanks to boards member NothingHead, we have our first US sighting of the recently-released Studio Series leaders Scavenger and Shockwave! A bit of an unusual sighting though as this comes from the last place to get new figures, Florida, specifically the Orlando area at a Walmart.

Both will run for about $49.99 USD and should be sprouting up elsewhere in due time, so keep your eyes peeled TFW!
