    Recently received this upgrade and it's not bad. It is a very basic, self-explanatory kit. The missile pack attaches to Divebomb's back when not combined and fills in Predaking's lower back when combined. The attachment is secure. The knuckle spikes slip over the hands and have two different positions - facing forward or facing out from the back of the hand. Predaking's hands cannot be stored in the feet with the knuckle spikes attached; they have to be removed for storage when not combined.

    For quality, the plastic is UV cured resin and feels sturdy. The missile pack is mostly hallow. The color matching in paint is not very good - the yellow on the missile pack is lighter and less orange than on Predaking. It's noticeable, but forgivable since it fills in that empty space in combined mode. The gray on the knuckle spikes is darker than the hands.

    It's not a bad kit for the price. It is simple and does the job well enough.

    Count me as another who got theirs. Like previously mentioned color match is a bit off on the filler but not terrible by any stretch. I have to believe the knuckle dusters are purposely so dark just to make them stand out a bit. If a kit comes out with more articulated hands later where I don't need to buy a ton of other stuff I might get them, if not this kit satifies my only issues with this guy.

    Don't have any good light at the moment or the ability to combine the big guy. I might be able to put him together later tonight though. Here's two quick.ones though. 20190110_162413-1.jpg 20190110_162428-1.jpg

    I ordered one of these from johosontony on ebay and got a SpeedPAK tracking number #ES....0A. Does anyone know who will be delivering this in the US? USPS? Ebay tracking has this as having cleared customs.

    Got him put together today. received_1048635502003532.jpeg received_365402174256219.jpeg received_305788870071003.jpeg
    Mine switched to USPS. Mind you I was only ever able to track via Speedpack. "Arrived at Unit" was what it said when it hit the post office and was "Out for delivery" the following day.

    First off, I love the idea of using Siege Shockwave as a giant hand gun. Genius. Second, the back filler is just what I needed. Definitely gonna pick this up after I save up for Platinum Edition Predaking.

    The back filler is great. I got mine a couple days ago, from Unclebilly for $16 shipped.

    Since it’s 3D printed, my first thought was, This was $16? Then I remembered the Shapeways Warbo Computron chest is $35 all by itself, and that’s BEFORE shipping. If this were from Shapeways, it would have been double the price.lol

    Quick comparison, using it on both the POTP and Weijiang versions:

    I’m about to order this for the ko. I don’t think the knuckles work but I’m more interested in the other parts anyway.

    hola, ¿viste algún video de comparación entre predaking potp y weijiang y me pareció que el original es un poco más alto? Y si es así, ¿cuál sería la pieza o la que la hace más alta? ¿Y otra pregunta, el kit de ADN para el potp podría encajar en el weijiang? Espero que todos entiendan, usen un traductor de google ya que hablo español, ¡muchas gracias a todos!

    hello, did you see any comparison video between predaking potp and weijiang and it seemed to me that the original is slightly higher ??? And if so, what would be the piece or the one that makes it taller? And another question, the DNA kit for the potp could fit in the weijiang ???? I hope you all understand, use a google translator since I speak Spanish, thank you all very much!
