Flame Toys, via their social media accounts, have revealed the color sketches of their upcoming Flame Toys Furai Model Arcee.

This is an easy-to-build model kit which is part of Flame Toys Furai Model line (not to be confused with the more expensive Kuro Kara Kuri action figures). Flame Toys bring us a highly stylized Arcee but still recognizable as the classic G1 fembot. A very modern and different design for sure. Release date and price are still to be announced.

Via Kreemzek Reviews on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Kingdom Leader Class Ultra Magnus.

Ultra Magnus will be released as part of Kingdom Wave 2 Leader class. This figure is a retool of the Siege Ultra Magnus mold with extensive changes in the armor and inner robot to make him closer to his G1 design in robot and alt mode. Being a remold, it retains most of the things you like or not about the original Siege Ultra Magnus. We also have comparison shots next to Netflix Optimus Prime (Earthrise redeco) and Studio Series 86 Hot Rod and Kup.

A new image of what seems to be our possible first look at Masterpiece Thundercracker 2.0 have been surfacing over social media.

As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation. This looks like a direct redeco of the new Masterpiece Starscream 2.0 mold. The image also shows some accessories like interchangeable faces and blast effects.

Let us know your impressions on this possible new Masterpiece figure on the 2005 Board!

under Generation 1, Non-Transforming

Via Flame Toys social media accounts we can share for you our first images of a color sample of the new Furai Model Windblade as well as her pre-order information.

This is an easy-to-build model kit which is part of Flame Toys Furai Model line. Windblade shows a new design which is pretty different to the original design sketch and the first gray prototype they showed some time ago. She now looks closer to her IDW design, but she’s still pretty stylized. While non-transforming, this model kit seems pretty poseable.  Pre-orders for this item will start in March this year.
