    Decided to have another bash at installing the new heads, as it was irking me so, and managed it this time.

    Bovis and Fortis its much easier if you open the entire torso (4 screws of the back) and you can then slip the beast head out. Still a bit fiddly installing the new heads but do-able, and these 2 are a vast improvement over the originals.
    Talons beast head is glued at the top on mine, but removing the 1 screw in the beast head let me split the bottom enough to just slip out the pegs holding the head in and replace it, so not too bad in the end.

    The other 2 are straight forward.

    Al in all I still think its a major faff but I'm digging all the new heads on now so ultimately I think the sets are worth it.

    Just need to do the nero ones now....

    I agree with the above, the heads for Bovis and Fortis are MUCH easier to install if you remove the torso (4 screws in the back). First one i struggled for an hour, until i did this.

    And yea, huge difference on new faces for Bovis / Fortis, and in fact so much that i dont want to put them back in combined mode for a while, eventhough they take so much more space horizontally.

    I am way tardy to the party, but I picked up Headstrong, Tantrum, Divebomb, and Felisabre and fuck me, they are nice. The transformations are satisfying, and they look really good in robot mode. I'm kinda not looking forward to finishing Rex, as I'm really liking them as individual robots.

    Mine have been in my display in robot mode for more than a year. Rex is awesome, but the individual bots are so good, it's almost a disservice not to have them that way. I was thinking about getting a KO set to keep in Rex mode, but never seem to set aside the funds..

    At minimum, I'm going to need a second Divebomb. He's just too fun in robot mode to be just an arm.

    idk Rex is so nice it's hard for me not to keep them combined, espc when you have cynnicus to be the targetmaster and felisaber for the extra arm, and then having queen sitting on his shoulder, if i could just find a way to turn her into a shield and attach to the other arm i'd be extra happy

    Does anyone know how tall Feral Rex is with the legs fully extended? I've searched all over the forums and the googles and I can't find the answer. Thanks!

    Gosh I wish could have shelves as clean and organized and unclulttered without a million billion figures competing for space as that. :lol 

    Sure but I wouldn't advise doing that with him, you'll make him very unstable and expose Leos thighs making for a very awkward appearance to the overall figure. "fully extended" legs isn't really a viable display option for the set.

    I don't have actual numbers but there are more than a few comparison shots of extended vs stock. Lazyaza did one way back when at MMC Feral Rex Mega Thread (Predaking)

    See post #24600

    That should be enough to give you a good idea of the difference, I think.

    Cool pics!

    Would anyone say it's a bit late to invest in this set, now, given its relative time on the market?

    Don't worry: the Hasbro set won't be of interest to me. :)

    Might be a good time to get him, actually. There will be people dumping theirs for the Hasbro one (i'm hoping).

    Personally, i would say no, it is late to invest in these, but if you really want to, try to get used at half price or less actually, and that would be more for bot mode, which are very awesome actually, and get the new face, and and Feral Queen too. I love my FeralRex and Feralcons by the way.

    But for the combined mode, it has been few years now, and alot of progress for combiners, and this one is not the most stable in combined mode, or fun to mess with or articulate (for combined mode) as compared to newer products. I just feel Feral Rex is old now, and in combined is only for display, and you have much better options for other recent combiners (not Predaking, but other combiners)

    I would say do research on more current ones, like the TFC Piranacon (for bot, alt, and combined), or TW (this is the biggest currently) and GT Devastators, and maybe some of the menosors coming out in the future, as well as Bruticus (from Zeta and UT) and Zeta Arialbots. Personally, i am going small, and Iron Factory Bruticus is the one i am waiting on. I would then wait for the DX-9 Predaking, or maybe IF?
