    Wow. That...doesn't even seem like it's regular sized. Definitely ain't anywhere near oversized. And too bad about the quality, too...I would've been down for a 1:1 or even a downsized Feral Rex, IF the manufacturer would've fixed the lame balance issues in combined mode (which it probably wouldn't)...

    Getting the Jinbao version, not sure if Tfsafari shipped it yet.

    I'm bummed that the newer version misses the sabretooth, though, I really like the mask. He has sort of a Battlecat thing going on. If someone wants to unload it for cheap and is in Europe/Germany…:D 

    Is the smaller KO set posted here the Tenyang one that Aliexpress has or another one again? Almost got the Tenyang one for 40€ for my nephews this summer, now it's more expensive, though.

    Just be aware that Jinbao did NOT fix the individual figures hands being at the bad angle and no rotation. You need to get the kit that has the replacement hands that provides the wrist rotation.

    The reason is that due to the hands being fixed, means that they can't hold their weapons correctly and always in the "locked" angle.If you plan to just have him in combined mode, then it's not an issue.

    Note that it's highly recommended that you put some sort of rubber type pads under the feet to provide proper gripping to prevent them from sliding, it makes a massive difference in stability.

    Already have those things for his feet. I know about the hands and I'll have to see what I'm doing there. Ideally I would have found the 6 figure set and an upgrade kit for a decent price, but no luck. Maybe I can 3d print some hands, just need to get ABS-like resin so the fingers don't simply disintegrate when moved.

    I'm probably going to paint them up a bit, will have to see how much effort I'm going to put into it - maybe just edge lining with paint chipping, maybe panel lining, maybe full mile with hollow parts filling with Milliput and repainting them, e.g. the legs on bull and rhino dude. Don't know yet if I want that bright clean plastic toy look or have a more scale/tabletop finish on my Transformers.

    Just finished work on my Own Upgrade kit for JB Predaking. He stands 22" tall, full hand and wrist articulation, ab crunch, 180degree bend at the elbows and is incredibly stable.
