    Probably, these guys have gone through a few rereleases. In my opinion they still hold up. TFC Posiedon may be more stable and better articulated, but Feel Rex still looks more visually interesting.

    Also grab MMC's Overlord if you don't have him. It's the best thing they've made in my opinion, and my most well made/fun/favorite 3rd part figure of all time, even with owning FanToys Galvatron. MMC just makes a better figure for me then FansToys.

    Oh yeah, he's definitely on my list - I just have to free up the cash first. My meager 3P collection is 90% MMC and I've been knocking the more affordable ones off my list first. I was looking to grab a $90 Rex member to round off my latest Pile of Loot but they were gone. Funny, they were there a while ago and I thought, with them being kind if old, they'd stick around. Oh well, maybe next round.

    To save me having o wade through a thousand plus pages cans someone please remind me how the fore-arm knives and gap filler upgrades were originally offered and if they were later copied and by who. also does the set only exist in a single colour

    Also if any one knows what the set is called that would be great.

    They came with Tigris, it's not really an extra/add-on. It's officially the "Completion set".

    OK I saw a version in a baggie with white card and a name with writing on is that the same ones ?

    I take it no one copied it in a larger size for the Overscale version though ?

    Is it supposed to come with all Tigris or just ones from specific retailers ?

    ***

    While I think of it did someone mention that there is fit issues with putting the jaegetron faces on the set ?
    Is there fit issues to putting the original faces in Jaegetron's trailer ?

    I don't know. Predaking is in my top 3 combiners and when this set was first released I really liked it, but I sold it off a few years ago and never looked back.

    Still the best looking Predaking in the game, regardless, at the moment, IMO. Will likely be a while before we see another 3rd party company tackle Predaking again.

    I will be picking up Hasbro's, but as far as aesthetics go, I vastly prefer the look of Feral Rex. I am counting on Hasbro's to stand and pose better though!!!

    One thing that I don't think looks dated at all is their individual Bot Modes. Those are gorgeous in these feral cons.

    I honestly prefer TFC Ares, this one is too chunky for my tastes, QC and build quality wise, I agree, Feral Rex is better.

    Yup I couldn't have said it better myself. I almost wanted to offload this one & get the upcoming Hastak one..but after the recent unflattering images released..thanks but no thanks!

    Also I've somewhat upgraded them with the underrated Feralcons face kit, now the individual bots looks even better.
