    It is a crying shame this is a Monoformer. Amazing craftsmanship on this and Drift too.

    I sincerely hope not, for no other reason than that's like collecting the Hot Toys Avengers team :( 

    Possibly worse cost-wise.

    Holy shit you're something. It's not up to you to decide who spends how much on what, and what else they have going on in their life that maybe, just maybe doesn't justify 295 dollars at once, on a single figure.

    :lol  First, was saying I want Tarn and hope they do the same, not that I want Mazinkaiser. Second, let's be real here, putting down anything over 250 on what is at the end of the day still a figure really depends if it's worth that to you. And to me, hell no it isn't.

    As much as I love the articulated fingers, I can't find any justification to get him over already having MMC's Kultur, which also sports amazing articulation minus the fingers (3rd party finger articulation when MMC?). Still I DO look forward to their take on KLK Prime and IDW Star Saber most of all.

    Have to admit, bulky guy like that doing a Spiderman crouch is impressive as hell. Now I'm curious if Kultur could pull it off.

    I'm probably wrong, but I believe that's the upcoming model kit version of Prime.

    Weren't they also gonna do a proper figure of that design? I'd prefer if they do some decepticons instead.

    Fellow Collectors........I picked up Fame Toys Drift and having also collect Sentinel Super Robots Mazinkaiser......Getter Robo and Giant Gorg\'s along with Metal Build Gundams I can attest Flame Toys producers top notch premium stuff here...........yes expensive but on another level of design / build with the use of strategic diecast placement for balance and the paint......it even rivals Bandai\'s Metal Build. Bottom line don\'t hate because its expensive either save sell some stuff out of the collection to fund or just admire from afar. Flame Toys have already established excellence which is rare for a first release can\'t wait for the second.

    Pretty good advice to live on; buy it unless you don't have the money for it. I plan on waiting for Star Saber (whenever that's planned to come out) and the Prime figure myself.

    May I know which country does Flame Toys operate? Hong Kong or Japan? Whoever own flame toys Drift, does the amount of diecast worth the price? And overall is it good or just average. Wish to get Tarn but not very confident with the maker as they're still rather new in the market

    Their base is in China. Their sale headquarter is in Hongkong. if there is problem I believe spare part will send from HK.
    It's a same company who made Sentinel who made Riobot, Metamore force, 4incnel, etc toy line but go with different name.
    Information from dealer Sentinel, Tru-Force(Now), Flametoys, Union creative all are same corporation but go different name or division.
    For die cast, from what I see Tarn should have more die cast than Drift.

    So they're from Sentinel, I bought some of sentinel figure and very satisfied with the quality, then I guess i have no problem with this figure for sure. Was in the mist of choosing this or the Metamor Forcer Gravion, guess i will go for this :D
