    Flame Toys have confirmed it includes die-cast parts, indeed it is mentioned on the D4Toys listing (Materials: ABS, PA, POM, PVC, Die-cast). It appears Furai Action is being repositioned between the model kits (Furai) and Kuro Kara Kari lines, hence the pricing. There is no model kit of this design (yet), it may not have been designed as such. It remains to be seen if this will be 'worth' the price... it does seem excessive, Prime was $100 less.

    IMO The paint job is WAY nicer than what we saw on Prime (which I got the model kit of and painted myself) and and there's the aforementioned Diecast.... I'm still tempted, I love this new Primal design, however I am more than a little concerned by the price.

    It\'s flame toys so the actual product will look way worse in hand, but that does look pretty sick

    The mask is definitely an improvement over the original toy's, but it's not worth a purchase for me. Also is this the first "official" title for Primal's mask?

    Wow. He's stunning.

    I'd buy a line of BW characters like this. I really dig the stylised fur. I know they'll never get to him - but I'd love to see Silverbolt in this style.

    It is a Model Kit.
    Listed at ShowZStore with the current Pictures and...must be assembled.

    Haha 175$ for a Model Kit?
    Fuc* you Flame Toys!
    Mask Exclusive only?
    Fuc* you again Flame Toys!

    I would like to buy it...
    But not as Model Kit and Mask.

    Why are Flame Toys such Assh*les?????

    I just want some ACTION FIGURES for
    a NORMAL Price Range.

    No 500$ and no Model Kits.
    Just normal Priced Action Figures.
    Is that really that hard to do?

    No it's not. When ShowZ posted their pre-order FlameToys had yet to reveal it was Furai 'Action' and not Furai 'model kit'. ShowZ therefore assumed it was a model kit... It is not it is part of the Furai Action line hence the deco. ShowZ need to update the discription, it's not the first time they've been slow to do so.

    I do think it's overpriced for what it is though. Unless it's absolutely riddled with die-cast and the the deco is top notch in hand. Even then.... It's hard to justify for what is essentially a non-transforming deluxe/voyager.

    Admittedly that’s higher than I had expected (was thinking $120 orso). Will probably wait and see how the model kit turns out like before I go down this path. At the same I’m not sure whether model kit building can fit into my life; it’s fun and relaxing but tf collecting itself (buying, playing and interacting on the forum) is already taking up more than enough of my personal time.

    Yeah I dunno man. It looks rad but how does a pre-assembled model kit of this size come out to this price? Furai Action Prime was around $70, what about this makes it over $100 more expensive? Is there really that much more engineering? Is it the paint? Both?

    I second that notion. All my Flame Toys toys look way better in hand than in pictures since the camera doesn’t pick up all the subtle difference in paint and little details that well.

    Soooo the last new mold model kit was....G1 Prime? In March I think? And no sign of another one and only proto-hints? That's me out on the line.

    That's for their model kit line and what youre point out isnt exclusive to flames toys. You see the same deal with bandai model kits. The primal is part of the furai action line which are pre painted. The detail and paint job isn't going to be all that different from the promo pics.

    I would say for that price it better be a small version of a Kuro Kara Kuri toy with the only similarity to the initial model kit are the looks.
    Flame Toys also did themselves a disservice by making a built kit the first entry in the Furai Action line; consumer confusion and all that.

    Yeah but I'm still allowed to not like the fact flame and other companies pull that shit.
    Missed the fact it was a furai though, thought they stopped making those

    Even as a 10 year old I was never disappointed that the unpainted model kits I built never looked as good as the promo shots on the packaging. I was only dissatisfied with my lack in skill.
    I also specifically mentioned „toys“ since I’m assuming this is what we will get from the Furai Action line moving forward. F3AC9FDD-28A0-49B9-93EA-7C02E3A48025.jpeg
