I heard that they're making a transformers kuro kara Kari 04 optimus prime

[@KumaStyle]

@@shockwavethewarlock And it looks pretty damned incredible.

[@reyasem]

The fingers are kinda disappointing but goddamn, this is one helluva toy. Definitely a must buy

[@pathoffate]

Not a fan. I looks great, but way to expensive for what it is👎

[@KumaStyle]

Understandable point of view.

[@SliceyMcBreadmaker]

The music that Tarn was often known for, which became the leitmotif for the entire DJD, was the Empyrean suite!

[@synep.6200]

Man this thing looks incredible. It looks so interestingly engineered and well put together. I can't wait for mine to arrive.

[@Death2cornbread]

Such an amazing piece, flame toys are doing a amazing job. Great review bro

[@StarBornW]

Hi Kuma! I got mine just today and this figure is gorgeous. But one thing that always makes me hesitate to buy figures from Sentinel and Flametoys is that their joint design tend to be friction joint and over time, they just wear out and becomes flop. I would like to know if there's anything you do to keep the joints tight. Thanks!

[@KumaStyle]

Sorry for the late response but just seeing this... I haven't experienced joint wear yet but if I did I wouldn't know where to even start with fixing since all of the screws are hidden, honestly.

[@ogulkanaltiparmak6141]

Was never into Transformers but this is must have, it is beautiful + those poses are magnificent

[@bacman84]

Highly anticipated review KS. Great job. However, I did remove it from my pre-order list prior to seeing this & still on the fence about purchasing Tarn. Drift is worth every penny but the fingers on Tarn are really disappointing & look frustrating.

[@KumaStyle]

Yea.. it's a tough one for me. I'm not a big fan of the pop out aspect but as stated I'd rather have an easy pop out vs. breakage... I do much prefer the articulated hands over the hand swapping method on Drift, though. It's much more convenient and does look very good.

[@Maximilian7992]

I wish he actually transformed

[@KumaStyle]

Fuck that.

[@nomenao2326]

@@KumaStyle If it can be transformed, it would be Hasbro and Takara's product, the price will be $1000 dollar...

[@michaelmclaughlin4590]

I'd love to get a scaled turn table for him and pose a bunch of figures dancing around a DJ Tarn.

[@roguewar7153]

Excellent review sir! Prepaid for mine ages ago, anxiously waiting!

[@kofismith6869]

Thanks for the review dude. Tarn has been one of my fave characters since his first apperence and its nice to see a well done detailed toy for him. (Defo picking this one up)

[@KumaStyle]

Thanks for taking the time to view and glass you enjoyed.

[@KloudyWoolf]

Is anyone having issues with the leg joints being loose? For some reason mine can’t do any of the poses without it falling over. Seriously any of the poses you did, I wish mine could do 😅

[@Amon0016]

Great review! Great figure but mine arrived finally today even though it had a delivery date of last Thursday, and I open it to find his mask is broken, the battle damaged mask had a broken part on the tallest point on left side, the end is barely hanging on. But everything else is perfect.

[@KumaStyle]

Thanks man and yea I tried to warn about handling by those mask ends, man...

[@Amon0016]

@@KumaStyle yeah you did, I wish it wasn't broken in the box before I could be careful with it lol, but luckily I have the bonus mask for the time being. I'm glad I watched your review before it arrived today so that I wasn't surprised about those fingers falling off. I contacted D4TOYS about trying to get a replacement for the mask as I did not break it but they may not be able to do anything about it and in that case I will contact Flame Toys directly.

[@KumaStyle]

@@Amon0016 Just following up and making sure you were taken care of?

[@phantomcritic4721]

Is this also a model kit like prime and meg's?

[@KumaStyle]

Not at all. I don't much review models but if I did I'd try to say something to distinguish it.

[@Notanknoparty]

Mine arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier.

[@KumaStyle]

👍🏿

[@drakozero8]

Man at TFCon chicago I went with Riobot Shin Getter black version instead of this guy really kinda regretting it lol even tho getter has awesome diecast and giant wings..

[@KumaStyle]

I would check out the original colored Shin Getter as well, man. IMO it's the prettier of the two.

[@NathanSimmonsSworn]

Such an amazing piece. Great review Kuma!

[@KumaStyle]

Thanks for taking a look, boss. Are you picking this one up?

[@cdwizzerd]

yooooooooo dats a hot boy

[@KumaStyle]

**Cue Cash Money beat**

[@andrewburton3796]

As always great review and pics! Mine should be delivered today and I can't wait to check out this beast!

[@KumaStyle]

Thanks, man. I appreciate the support.

[@artyomRL]

He is a chunky boi .

[@ameic]

Hey mate, great review, however just a small but of feedback, might want to downscale or record in mono audio because you're bouncing from left to right, doing my head in :P

[@KumaStyle]

I'm not able to replicate this problem

[@ameic]

@@KumaStyle try headphones to amplify the issue if you havent already

[@KumaStyle]

@@ameic Hey I never saw this suggestion but wanted to say thanks because I'll give it a go. Either way I'll be switching to mono once I figure out how to in Vegas. That's crazy that it actually goes back and forth?

[@anthonycourt7977]

Thats pretty amazing

[@lordnagatron]

so AWESOME !!!!!

[@ChaoticDarkness1]

Even though he’s a remold of Tarn what are your thoughts on the new Fallen figure coming out? Are you thinking about getting him?

[@KumaStyle]

Dunno. It's uglier than hell man

[@TheMRpredatorwolf]

It is so stupid that the speakers and the clean mask are exclusive!

[@KumaStyle]

Not really.

[@TheMRpredatorwolf]

@@KumaStyle For a 500+ dollar figure... are you sure, are you really sure or at least they should have added couple extra faces?!

[@KumaStyle]

@@TheMRpredatorwolf Honestly, it's not uncommon for stores to have exclusive items to attract customers. I'm all for companies packing as much into a box as possible so same team there but I'm just saying I understand why stores do exclusive items too.

[@juvydude]

Do you happen to know how to take care of die cast figures in the long run ? I've always been scared of them deteriorating/oxidizing in the future since they're metal.

[@KumaStyle]

Yes; maintenance is a must.

[@meisterigi007]

I waaaant

[@KumaStyle]

Buy it

[@sorashi799]

wish they didn’t cost so much😔

[@Alex876]

goregous absoloutly gorgeous

[@korgunaard4991]

Did you order through D4toys? I’m assuming you did since you got the bonus accessories. How much was the shipping if I may ask? I’m thinking about getting the upcoming Star Saber and not sure which retailer I want to order from. Great review btw.

[@KumaStyle]

Thank you for the compliment and I appreciate it but I do have to ask why you didn't just go to the site, load up the cart, and proceed to checkout without actually ordering what you want in order to check the price? That's how you get that information for any retailer you want to check pricing on.

[@korgunaard4991]

Because it only just didn’t occur to me for some reason. But thanks for mentioning that. I’m going to go do that now. Are you going to be getting Star Saber?

[@KumaStyle]

@@korgunaard4991 Late response and I apologize but yes, definitely getting Star Saber!

[@ShowNuffDaKing]

How do these scale to plant x transforms?

[@KumaStyle]

Use a ruler and answer that.

[@edimusprime]

Since you've had this a while would you recommend it? There's a reissue

[@KumaStyle]

My thoughts are right here in the review.

[@edimusprime]

@@KumaStyle cool thanks! I did watch the review. Just making sure your view didn't change after a year of fiddling with it more

[@edimusprime]

@@KumaStyle and thank you for the quick response

[@KumaStyle]

@@edimusprime I don't play with toys post review. They go to a shelf to live the rest of their inanimate lives.

[@chojinacd]

Having a licence makes it non 3rd party tbh. But nice review

[@KumaStyle]

No, it's still 3rd party. Just licensed vs unlicensed.
