Flame Toys Optimus Prime Furai Model Kit Unboxing Review

[@ChazMichaelMike]

Good review. I’m building him right now. I find the plastic to be overly sensitive to nub trimming, like more brittle compared to gunpla. I plan to weather him to hide issues.

[@DemarcationMedia]

I agree with that, it's definitely harder and more brittle. Weathering would help a lot

[@magosd0minus]

I bought this figure recently and I loved assembling it. I love it a ton. My only critique is that the cover for the Matrix just wouldn't go on. I decided to not even put it on because it was such a pain and I was worried about breaking plastic.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yeah that's a very fiddly part of the build

[@HotDogLiterally]

I would have never thought you would review this figure but over all I’d love to get one of those

[@DemarcationMedia]

If you can get it on sale, it's worth it. At normal price, not so much

[@HotDogLiterally]

@@DemarcationMedia oh ok

[@Elite_critter]

I thought it was fun to make but I got so frustrated at the head part because the pieces weren’t going in that I started crying

[@Cxtris]

I prefer the more wider designs for Optimus prime but this one is okay

[@DemarcationMedia]

That's fair. The wider designs feel more like Optimus

Only time to buy model kits from Hobby Lobby is the sales. Like I was able to grab the special coating Mando for only under $30. If you don’t buy kits on the sale days you’ll be paying atleast 5-$10 over retail.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yep, they do upcharge a fair bit

[@robler6982]

Great video. Very informative and detailed and well composed. Agreed he is overpriced, especially when compared to Gunpla. Thanks for the discount tip.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Gunpla definitely are better priced

[@commandocustomstudios5621]

He looks more like a anime style Optimus then a normal one. (From the reflection from the box we see demarcation skinny arms

[@DemarcationMedia]

The Furai line is VERY anime.

[@pov_cameraman38]

Cool👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DemarcationMedia]

He's pretty slick!

[@TrueSavage555]

I honestly don't find model kits inherently complicated. But the fact you have to slowly shave off bits off every piece completely ruins the appeal for me. As for the figure itself, While I prefer the Bayverse trilogy look for characters, I think this Optimus looks pretty cool.

[@DemarcationMedia]

This is by no means a complicated kit. Some of the MG and RG Gundams are pretty freakin' complex though. The nub-trimming is just part of the process and it does take a lot of time. Personally, I like the more mechanical versions of the Transformers as well.

[@Erick-X02]

Bro, do you know how tall that Optimus is?

[@DemarcationMedia]

Basically six inches, as I showed him next to a 6 inch Black Series Clone Trooper

[@lisfuchi]

Lo voy a pedir de navidad

[@mcoanimations]

Ya got this from hobby lobby?

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yep. It's the cheapest place to get him if you buy during one of their sales

[@mcoanimations]

@@DemarcationMedia oh I buy em when there on sale as well

[@willisjackson7029]

Their sales are every other week and you get 40% off all model kits at Hobby Lobby. It’s going on this week until Saturday 9/23/2023 if you’re interested. Happy building.😊
