    Guys, how do I make Predaking's wings stay in place? The wings on mine from the first reissue tends to flop, likewise with the rest of the limbs.

    Well, he is heavy as hell, so the weight alone will make his limbs do whatever they want, my wings flop backwards, but the still display nice. Predaking is more like a model you display more than a toy you can play with.

    Use razorclaw's lion feet to hold the wings up.

    On mine everything hold in place just fine (it's a vintage one). I could play with it and make him fly and the wings will stay there and the arms/legs won't wobble.

    I'm surprised that many didn't knew that every Predacons were voyager-sized. That's a reason why the re-issue cost more than other recent combiners (Seacons, Encore Bruticus) ;)  The other combiners are leader size at best in combined mode (often smaller), but not this bad boy, he's bigger than a leader toy :)

    Thanks for the comments guys and I appreciate the feedback!

    Yeah, mine does the same thing also. With regards being a display piece comment, I'm kinda cheesed off (at the toy) because its the first TF toy that I own that is so flimsy that I can't handle him without the limbs falling out as compared to the other combiners like Defensor, Mensor, Computron etc. Its like he's made out of straw! LOL!

    That's what I do with mine also but its still a disappointment. I expected the wing's connectors to hold it firmly in place.

    I'm wondering if its got to do with the mould being used for the reissue? I recall other vintage Predakings being "firm", hence my disappointment with the reissue.
