Flame Toys - Transformers - Windblade, Furai Model Kit

I haven't fully built mine yet but there's already some problems.The plastic they use for bronze feels fragile and my face piece's paint has some problems with it.paint on her face's left side isn't aligned with her right (it's placed lower than her right side) and it's irritating.And I'm missing her one of her right hands.I'll update this review after finishing the model but this wasn't such a great start.Update:finished building the figure some time ago.Sanded off the paint on her left side (actually doesn't look too bad) and I'll live without a spare hand because this figure honestly looks beautiful.Some of her parts need a bit...alot of force to be put in place like her arms and waist for example but that just makes the figure have a more firm and solid feeling at the end.So basically I would definitely recommend this model kit to anyone who's interested in this model.

They’re awesome so what do you want. Good challenge to put together and it looks AWESOME!!! Buy it so they make money and make more like this. So many poses. Once you get into building your own figures you’ll be addicted. worth it!

Like a few people already mentioned, this kodel kit can be very frustrating to build, especially for those new to model building. I have some experience but this model was definitely not easy to work with.Small parts can get easily lost or broken. The stickers are also very small and could be lost easily if you are not being careful. My main gripe with this kit is the tightness of to ball pegs for the head and torso. It took a lot of force (feeli by like you are going to break it) to push those in to connect. I almost gave in to sanding the pegs but luckily I was able to get them in. This is a common problem it seems as I read people had the same issue.Also, some of the parts will give you a hard time pushing into some pegs as they are very tight. Unfortunately, I had broken a peg by accident when I tried to push in a part into the peg because it was so tight. Be careful when posing this model.The end result however is a beautiful model. Almost makes it worth the frustration…

Detailed and easy to assemble. Worth the wait and minor redesign. Look forward to other models from this company, hopefully partnered again with the artist who helmed this one.

Todo perfecto, sin inconvenientes

There was constant love hate with this kit from the moment I started. Loved how everything was in resealable bags but the inner frame gold is dull extremely plastic-ie. The plastic is on the softer side so there was almost no clean up needed. But when there was clean up because it was so soft I found plastic gouge easy. Then the bulid it seemed so easy simple till shoulder. They required odd push up snap in that required so much force I thought I was going to break it.That feeling kept happening, upper ball for torso and neck I had to use so much force combined with excessive mold release head shot out of my hand across the room. I tried hair dryer with no luck final had to file the neck down to fit. Do not add the gold hair things till after head is on, there so thin and breakablePieces fit most part tightly often to tightly because of instruction book few pieces put together wrong were fight to get apart and this kit requires glue for to chest pieces and there in bad place if there's any spills or over uses good bye torso tilt.The instruction book I was so happy to have something full color. I hate it. Book is small that's fine but it's total of six pages with glamor cover and back everything is cramed into four pages. It's full color but three colors red black gold with no inbetween. Things if you have eye problems easy blend together this is same for decals. There vague hint of were they go only glamor cover can help as all other images of kit and prices are 3 base color 3d model not photos of the actual kit.In the end dispite all this I still really really like the mecha waifu I got out of this. Would I buy another flame toys kit probably not.

This kit is really nice but very fragile and requires a lot of force to assemble, i had to sand down every single peg and ball joint to get things to fit, i highly recommend having some sand paper on hand when building.The parts in the runners have nubs in the worst places so be EXTRA careful when removing the excess nubs as you could cut off too much, the plastic on some of the pieces are much softer than something like a bandai kit so my exacto knife removed more plastic than normal.In conclusion just be EXTRA careful when assembling this kit!

I have not really caught up with Transformers lore because Windblade seems like a new character. After doing some research and reviews, I found that she was a fan-made creation which I totally dig. The only thing I have about this kit is that it seems to be derived by a fan who made an iteration of the character this model is based on.There isn't much variety in terms of hands which I guess it's not like I know the character enough given I have not caught up to the comics in years. I will say that I am disappointed that she doesn't transform, but based on the design, I don't think that was part of the vision.Otherwise, It's still a great build. Although, I feel a bit duped that she has more stickers on her than I saw on the box art. Anyways, I hope you enjoy buy the product. Just know there may be some variations on it as some parts seems to be tight and in others much loose. Just keep your kit glue on the ready, or be sure to file it down to make the adjustments. That's all.
