    Damn, I may hafta consider this guy now.


    It's a shame they didn't give him head rotation of some kind for his dragon mode though.

    Would have been nice if they articulated the neck, but I'm really hoping for a Voyager Hardshell now

    Yep, the TFP Commanders have always been good for their size, I've thought, but they've scaled up pretty well even so.

    Oh my. This is better than I had hoped it'd be. Kind of disappointing that the dragon head is static, but overall it looks fantastic.
    What's the release date for this wave?

    This actually isn't the Commander scaled up though. There are some similarities but it's pretty much a new mold. That I want. So bad.

    Also, I'm pretty sure that purpley color, along with the orange/yellow detailing on the chest is meant to be a closer match to his show colors. It certain looks closer than the first voyager or Beast Fire to me at least.

    Considering you can get the Ultimate one for the price this will be, no contest.

    Those legs in clear just look odd, they look grey compared to the rest of the body.

    The ratchets on both sound glorious. Shame there's soooooo many gaps in both figures... considering they did retool them when they upscaled... they really ought to have filled more of those gaps.

    That said... I can see folks customizing this heavily to be the Bot Mode Predaking... and the Ultimate for well... a proper Dragon form. Would be more in-scale with the show, where his Dragon mode was GIGANTIC... and bot Mode had him tower over most, but not nearly as much as his Ultimate's bot form.

    I have to say I am impressed with both. I was waiting for a video review of them to decide if I was going to pick up either of them. I just pre-ordered the Predaking, and will pick him up in store if he comes before BBTS get them in. I like the change in size for the class and the ratchet position joints, wish there wasnt as much infilled space but overall they did a good job.

    That Predaking looks aces.
    I wish the neck still split during the transformation to make a secondary set of wings, but it's still cool.
    The puppet in the review was kind of entertaining, too.
    Certainly never seen that in a TF review before. :)

    I thought that this Predaking looked nice from the get go, and I knew it would be larger, but I didn't realize how much bigger it actually was. Pretty excited to get this as I have skipped all other Predakings so far.

    Why didn't this happen already? lol

    Predaking definately looks like he's worth picking up.

    wow, he's a lot bigger than the original voyager. So what's the verdict in terms of show accuracy. Is the old or new voyager more accurate?

    this is going to be $60 MSRP, too? For that price, I'd rather stick with my original voyager scale issues be damned

    No he wrote that wrong or something.

    These are supposed to be about the same as regular Voyagers.

    Around here the Ultimates are both down to voyager prices by now is what I meant.
