    I found this guy in a local comics shop today. Still haven't seen anything past wave 1 or 2 in the local Wal Marts or Targets.

    - I have the original Predacons, and thus Predaking, and the Titanium is a very nice representation of him, especially at such a small size.

    - the tiny rubber band holding his sword in place has bent the sword. :( 

    - two twist ties and he's loose.

    - head turns, shoulders rotate and wrists turn. The pose isn't as extreme as some of the other Titaniums. The right shoulder (Rampage) turns without hitting the wings, but the left shoulder (Divebomb) bumps up against the wing when it's turned too far, somewhat limiting movement.

    - It feels like the torso, and the main bodies of Tantrum and Headstrong are metal, and everything else is plastic.

    All in all, nicely posed and just about as moveable as the other Titaniums. This is no doubt a pretty obscure character for anyone except collectors, and I think it's great that we got him. :thumb

    hes pretty good, his stance isnt as goofy as the others, and he is pretty detailed, even if his word is bent and he feels more rubber/plastic than metal.

    I think Predaking's a good'un as Titanium mini-figs go. Basically looks the way it needs to, and (aside from a less bendy sword) that's really all it needs.

    I don't know. I wonder if leaving it under something heavy for a few days would straighten it out? I may attempt it at some point.

    The sword on mine is about the same. Just like the other 3" Titaniums, the waists can turn as well.

    I like the look of Predaking. He might be what I get to represent the smaller Titanium figures in my collection.
