PredaKing 2010 Reissue Review - Part II Final

Hey guys, I'm back with more updates.

Took out the stickers this morning and begun to put on the blings for predaking.


The process was tedious as I have very shaky hands. I read the instructions and made sure that the orientation of the stickers are correct. I noticed that the instructions given was for the previous issues of predaking as the some of the stickers shown in the instruction leaflet does not match the stickers given.

My problem came when I was sticking the stickers for Tantrum's shoulder. Anyway I juz looked closely at the battle card and tried to sort out the orientation to stick the stickers. The gold portion is facing towards the shoulder, correct me if I'm wrong.


Here's the comparison for the before and after. Looks great isn't it? My Rampage's tail is very loose as you can see on the picture on the right side .. any solution?


A pose from the King.


Predacons looks great on their own as beast mode, but definitely a No No for me in robot mode. Limited poses in robot mode as they are still the same old G1 figures. No doubt Predaking already look good on it's own, I do hope that some 3rd party toy makers will make some extra accessories to further enhance the posability of the G1 predaking.

Articulation: 3 - Very limited articulation
Value for Money: 3 - I find that the price is rather steep
Summary: 7 - Despite the steep price and limited articulation, I still find that this is a good toy . The 25th anniversary Predaking will be a nice showpiece in your home if you do not own the vintage one.

PredaKing 2010 Reissue Review - Part I

This is my review of the G1 PredaKing 2010 by TakaraTomy. The box art was great and the box wasn't as heavy as I thought. The 2010 version is the die cast version.

Name: Predaking
Release Date: Late Nov 2010
Released By: Takara Tomy



Upon opening the box,I was pleasantly greeted by the five figures, Razorclaw, Rampage, Divebomb, Tantrum and Headstrong. Personally I liked the new colors as compared to the vintage.

So what do I think about the 2010 version of PredaKing? Beside the new paint job, everything is still the same. Price wise it's kinda steep, currently it's retailing around US$180 in online stores. But if you are a fan of PredaKing and I recommend that you bite the bullet and GET ONE!

The combined mode is fabulous and I will let the pictures talk for itself. Enjoy!

If you have noticed that I have not put on the stickers that came with Predaking, I will do that in my next review.
