13:29 when someone asks me how my toxic relationship is going.
I actually lol'd.
Well played, sir... well played...
The people complaining that it looks like a Gundam are pretty dumb honestly. It's clearly very stylized and if you don't like it, then it's not for you, just don't buy it.
Stylized ala Play Arts Kai.
If they think this is Gundamy wait til they see the Star Saber haha. I'm a Gundam fan as well so I love these guys. I got 3rd Party MP Fanstoys for my G1 fix. These and Mastermade fill a different niche which I'm totally ok with.
I’m not complaining but it does look like a gundam😂
Imma buy it CUZ it looks like a freaking gundam
no it definitely draws inspiration from basic gundam design in the waist and shoulders, which makes sense because it seems like it also uses some original design features- and original transformers (outside of the head) looked damn near identical to the earlier gundam models.
I think the holes on the arms and legs are meant to be used with an upcoming product that homages the combination of Jetfire and Optimus from Revenge of the fallen
Looks fantastic. Imagine if the bay movies used these designs...
Ewww Michael bay
Jeez that’s a load of cash lol honestly wish I could spend that kind of money on figures, first impression of this guy is pretty good
It fascinates me the level of engineering in this type of figures. Sadly in my country are more expensive than a car. maybe some day...
When I get another stimulus check I’ll buy it and send it to you
@@balenciimusic we need more people like you
This video gave me anxiety, man.
Watching you mess with his torso was kinda scary.
This Optimus is really beautiful, figures like this one are the reason why I enjoy toy reviews so much because I know I'll never be able to afford something like that so I'll just watch someone else enjoy it in my place, lol.
To me I never display tf toys at their vehicle mode. I would like more tf at their robot mode only
Same
10:26 These Axes 🪓 remind me of Optimus Prime’s axe from Transformers Animated.
Quite possibly the coolest Prime design I've seen since the Bumblebee movie design.
A part of me died when it was sold out...
one day I'll be so finacially sound I can buy 20 of these and have them hiding around my house in hilarious poses
Maybe the holes are for a Godbomber add on later down the line, similar to the Leo Victory for Star Saber?
8:48 The sword’s 🗡 names is the Star Saber.
Is a perfect 9 , I love it ,but the price hurts, I am happy with my threezero dlx optimus
It's a very good figure but it's also way to expensive for a mass produced figure, if it had the exact same quality and it was limited to 300 I would be OK with the price, it would still be expensive, but if the quantity was limited it would be a good investment. Mass produce figures go up in price immediately after they where sold out and more often then not the value will come back down close to the retail price eventually. Don't get collectible action figures confused with toy action figures, the last normally go up in price because they where played with and are hard to find complete and in good condition 35 years after they where originally released. Now collectors know better and they keep the figures intact, they preserve every accessory and even keep the original boxes so 35 years later there will probably still exist lots of MINT figures for sale so the price wont go up that high.
For a figure this expensive that looseness in the legs and knees going forward and back is a big issue, it wont hold an aerial action pose on the stand it came with so the action feature will be very limited because of it. It's very well sculpted, painted and the engineering of the articulation is great. It has loads of moving parts so the part count must be very high. I never had a Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri in hand but relying on what the reviewers say and what I can see in the videos the material seems very good. Thanks for the review Anthony.
One year later this figure is 2-3 times (670€-1100€uro)the original price even second hand!
Me: Those feet look like they're not gonna move much
Anthony: And the feet have exceptional range if you make good use of the ball joint and hinges
me: Surprised Pikachu Face
This figure is..incredible tho tbh. But I don't have 450$ to throw around so, oh well xD
When did this Optimus came out?? Can't order it anywhere....cant find him
Link in description
Curious, Flame Toys can include batteries, but Hasbro can't for their Haslab Sentinel. If you're spending hundreds of dollars on a figure it should include batteries on principle. Awesome review!
$450? yeah, that makes sense. why wouldn't i want to spend half a weeks wages on an ugly Fauxformer that doesn't even transform? Is it Bay-verse? maybe Animated? who knows? but it sure isn't G1 so it's on thin ice without even bringing the non-transforming nonsense into it lol. Ugh, it's ridiculous looking - is it supposed to look like a woman in a bikini? cuz it does... like a JoJo SHF fig. not classic, not the pop-culture icon we grew up with. certainly not worth the money. but im sure if you bought it then you think it's great!
The thing with transformers is, they aren't the guys we grew up with. We got the first incarnation of them. They are what every kid over the last 30 years have grown up with in their own phases.
These guys are just stylised. Fans of this figure will be the guys at the intersection of transforming, Gundam, flametoys fandom. It's not just targeted at TF fans
Believe it or not, you can like g1 and other things too.
If you want an optimus that transforms AND looks awesome in robot mode, try the Challenger toy from Unique toys
The price is gonna make it a no for me.
It's undoubtedly quality, but yeah, that price. Personally hard to justify for me. But yeah a wow of a figure
Alll the Flame Toy’s “hip thrusting” looks weird to me. The 3A figure is worlds better for just $150
unfortunately, the 3a company is questionable and the design for that optimus looks awful. his crotch gap is enormous and his proportions are janky.
@@AnthonysCustoms What exactly do you mean by crotch gap? If you are talking about how far the gap between each leg is I think that is actually accurate to the bumblebee movie. I think his proportions might also be accurate too but i'm not sure about that. All that said you do have a good eye for slight differences most wouldn't notice so I could be wrong.
“I dOn’T wAnT a TrAnSfOrMeRs FiGuRe ThAt DoEsN’t TrAnSfOrM”.........Well Iron Man figures aren’t made of iron, and human torch figures don’t fucking torch my hands when I pick them up. Cry me a fucking river.
im thinking about getting the smaller optimus, its way cheaper
$400?!? I could be like 10 Master Grade Gundams/Zakus for that amount.
Seems like they engineered this with the RX-78 Gundam in mind. 450 bucks though? I feel guilty when I pay for a 80 dollar mezco. But to each his own. Great video Anthony 👍
Great job. I have this one as well and can confirm the loose legs seem to be a common issue. Also the swords have flimsy grips but maybe that's just my copy. Perhaps the reason there are peg holes in the arms and legs are for the Jetpower upgrade kit that they're working on. Hopefully the legs can withstand the added height and center of gravity when it's all suited up, I pre ordered mine at TFCon and the jumbo axe is even longer than the great sword and comes with another set of hands designed to hold it.
my Mastermind Creations R-48 Optus Pexus says otherwise on being possible and able to transform
Awesomely, awesome review!! The jet-pack also has additional thrusters that flip out at the sides of the individual boosters. Also, forgive the plug, but there is a video shoot for this figure on my channel if you'd like to check it out.
Transformers which doesn't transform....Still it's not right.
Anthony please do also review the 3A DLX Optimus. Been hoping you'd be able to get around reviewing it for months
I'm not a fan of 3a since they screwed halo collectors so hard.
@@AnthonysCustoms Oh ok. Maybe their Transformers line is made by another/ newer team. The figure looks good in pictures and you could always sell it if you don't like it. That's up to you though, thanks for replying! Fingers crossed you may change your mind. Would definitely like to see your opinion on it someday
Beautiful figure but too expensive for me. It has too be 12 inches and transforming at that price point.
Almost preordered this guy but that price was too steep. Every new figure they put out is just incredible. A friend had the Tarn figure and that thing was a masterpiece.
You see the Optimus Primal?
@@AnthonysCustoms yeah. It looks incredible. Also they have a prototype for a Leo Prime that looked sweet. I've built several of their model kits also. Great company.
How much was it? they have this on PO again for $500.
The legs are intentionally loose. So they don’t seize. It will hold any pose you can think of. I do t get it. Are you like a hasbro collector. The legs are what a high end figure is made like to keep the great articulation and are buttery smooth. Go back to your day job.
It’s definitely a cool figure. I like that he lights up. Aesthetically pleasing. I’d be scared to break it at the price point though.
Ngl this is the quality u expected form the micheal bay movies but what we got was some cheap ass 3rd party figure
Those holes are for his new jet upgrade kit - solid vid!
What a beautiful figure! Though for the price point ur right I would have expected it to be at least 12 inches in height
May you please tell me how on earth you get all the money for these high quality collectibles. Also what website do you use
I'm surprised that there hasn't been a KO version
At that price point there should be zero joint issues
He looks fucking awesome. The only real issue other than the pricepoint is I wish he was a bit tougher. Borderline customizable statue with how little you would want to move him.
It poses fine.
Next Gen Console or Single Figure? 🧐
God damn I love me them animated axes
can this be transformed?
Where you get your Jojo figures??
i have prime, the red drift, chrome tarn (1of 500). waitin on stealth megatron to release.
my ninja is sittin outside neglected because of Flame Toys hahaha. yeah my prime has the same issues as yours. but they’re all 10 outta 10.
🇺🇸🤘😎
Loose legs?
This is based on the latest movie right? shouldn't both upper arm part have the Autobots logo? How would you justify the price point?
No. It's not based on any movie.
On first impressions this looks like a play arts Kai of transformers
This thing is beautiful; I fall in the group that prefers a cool looking robot over a boxy thing with wheels so I'd definitely favor these types of releases over ACTUAL Transformers. I applaud your usual fair judgement; I agree that the hips are unacceptable; no one that spends this amount of money is going to be unhappy with how good everything else is, but it should be called out as a big issue. Sentinel usually excels like no other company in distributing diecast accordingly and avoid looseness but maybe since this is kind of a joint project so who knows who was in charge.
I personally feel this Optimus is pure quality but at the same time, like most high-end figures, IS overpriced. 250 would be more reasonable and still expensive as hell.
Finally I don't understand saying it looks like a Gundam like it's a bad thing but hey, it's a matter of taste I guess.
Told my wife how much this figure cost and I may get it, she told me that thing better pleasure me as well. I said what, you saying my buddy down below is so small in her eyes those little tiny figure hands would do the job. She said she thinks a guy who buys this must have one that size in order to spend that much money on something like that. Ouch. Got to love a wife who supports your hobby..lol.
I mean, it's a lot but it's not that much. It's like one clothes shopping session for some girls lol
It's interesting that these are so expensive when they don't even require the engineering to make them work as a transformer. I don't like these at all, I think it's a completely different aesthetic than transformers and looks more like a generic robot than the characters they're supposed to represent. That being said, glad you like it and I'd be curious how you feel about the robot enhanced design line that hasbro is coming out with.
They're fine for what they are. I may end up getting some.
I think it should be 10
Im building the flame toys g1 prime model while watching this. Its prime-ception
I hope they do a megatron
pretty cool, but cant afford that value, got my MP Takara Prime for around $110 including trailer from TRU, that's how much I can only spend, but Im satisfied with it... good to those who can afford these high end figures...would just watch from afar or online, as applicable... ;)
Sometime it feel like he has 4 eyes
I know i'm late but I think the leg looseness seems to be the use of die cast. it's not like a plastic figure, I feel it can't be helped but it's still and issue, just not sure if it is a true problem, if you sort of know what I mean
That's not accurate. The material doesn't determine the function if you do things properly.
I dont collect transfomers but if I did I would totally get this guy. (I like Transfomers I just collect too much stuff already). That being said I would love this company to make a Gundam figure like this. Yes I know $400 Gundam figures exist....but I want one this big with this level of detail. That isn't a PG model lol.
But yeah this is awesome.
I was going to say "at least it isn't as expensive as MP-44" but it turns out he is. So this is a miss for me. He doesn't transform and he's small.
Yeh,but quality is 10 times better.
@@dennisnoire3695 in a way yes. But having less engineering and not having to make compromises to allow for a transformation mean they can create a figure that feels higher quality because it isn't hollow.
I don't think it's worth the price of admission. I would definitely take a really good non transforming figure over a masterpiece.
$450 is kinda much especially for the very stylized design that will probably only appeal to a few. The lack of a transformation doesn’t bother me, but I know it does bother some.
Am I the only one that thought, with the price point, he should have at least articulated hands plus the posed hands?
Maybe. When you have all the poses, there's no need for finger articulation. articulated hands often have trouble holding things whereas preposed hands ,with the right variety, can accomplish anything you need.
Why is he so ✨thick✨
Seeing this, I can see how this parallels luxury goods like Gucci and Loui Vitton for women but for men.
$500 though sheesh
Great review
I know he's a robot but I'm personally not a fan of the proportions (Huge thighs/legs and small torso) At least we have a gazillion other Optimus Prime figures to choose from :)
Looks awesome otherwise.
Huh, Optimus Prime has his own Master Sword? Must be a Legends of Zelda fan.
Yeah that's crazy expensive but i'm gonna keep it 100. They might have me sold. Loose hips and all its gorgeous and has a boatload of accessories. I had no clue this dude existed but I would've wanted the axe too lol. I'll prolly get him he looks way too damn cool
I would love to have this one. I bought the Bumblebee movie 3zero Prime and is great. This one is also great, with more articulation and mechanic pieces. Thanks for the review!
That thing is beautiful! $hould be tho!
Mhm
It looks really cool, and I love your channel man. So I'm gonna give you a like. But with that price.... I'm out lol.
this FlameToyz guy are channeling the Masami Obari mecha look
Imo I prefer non-transforming figures unless it doesn't interfere with the figure's look and articulation.
Yup she's a beauty alright but I thought I was pushing the boat out spending $180 for the ThreeA DLX Opitmus and I'm really happy with that figure. Great figure great review
Anthony customs description: Big bad toy store is the best place to buy toys.
me in britain: laughs in import taxes
Overpriced!!!!!!
Have you seen Freedom Leader? You should probably check it out.
I watched another review of this figure and his legs looked pretty stiff and not loose so it seems to be a QC issue. It's really so unfortunate, but QC or not, it's still a flaw.
An excellent review bro i agree 100% with the points you made 450 is alot but the way i see it they are also beautiful pieces of art that we are proud and happy to display
Andrew bro the reason the hips/knees are loose is because Flame Toys wanted fluid movement, the articulation works on ground though, perfectly (according to them). But I personally like tight joints myself like my metal builds, however I haven't had these flame Toys figures yet. Peace out bro long time fan.
Sorry but my name isn't Andrew and the loose joints aren't a function of the design.
@@AnthonysCustoms *Flame Toys designer, or close contact of, stated before the 1st Kuro Kara Kuri figure was released, that if it feels like loose joints, its actually been done on purpose for "fluid motion/ease of mobility". It was a key point they worked in.* It was on TFW2005 this was around 2-3 years ago. @Dalianjj may have been the member that said it although he would know the person if not most likely.
Apologies. I wrote "Anthony" lol. Autocorrect must of screwed it up. I been a long time fan, & subscriber (few accounts) since 2010, or there abouts. So I know exactly what your name is. ;)
Wow, an overall rating of 9 from u, you've just made it a must buy figure. Thanks for the awesome review.
Cool can't wait for the Megatron version
Wow what a price but wow what a fig very very nice love the accessories
Please review more predator figures
All isn't enough?
Got this guy and he is outstanding. So much so, that those joints stand out and feel so disappointing (especially at this price point). But he is beautiful in hand.
Are those arm/leg ports 5mm? It'd be kinda hilarious if he was Siege compatible. Also, very bizarre that this figure has a hip joint issue, all of their model kits have problems at the hips as well and they're all wildly different. Strange it's like their company's Persian flaw.
I'm told they're for upcoming jetfire parts
I love to see this kind of reviews, I will not be able to buy it ,but I love to see what they offer ,thanks bro.
they will release an jetpower armor for this Optimus prime
Too expensive! I just can’t justify the price
Not a fan of how his chest is the same width as his hips and how thick his calves/shins are
Im not a Transformers fan at all... BUT
This is amazing!
I was like hmm this optimism prime looks nice and when I saw the double sword I was like wow that makes me want to buy it
The peg holes are for a future combination, I think
That Gundam looks like Optimus Prime. :)
That's one awesome looking Optimus Prime.
I got the DLX 3A hasbro bumble bee movie, optimus prime, its half the price but much better I think. And taller.
much better? how?
@@AnthonysCustoms much better maybe a bit strong but in terms of price point and what you get for it I think it wins. I got mine for £200 and the paint work is amazing, the articulation is great.i also prefer the general look but that's more subjective. The accessories aren't as good as this one but it's nearly half price so I can let it go. Have you seen the 3A hasbro one, I would like to know your thoughts.
Yeah both great representations of Optimus prime, threezero makes amazing robot figures.
This thing is just fun to look at. But then on top of that, it’s super articulated.
