    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
