    I think it might be 4-5 weeks. I didn't order War Eagle soon after release, but Ben posted on his KO YT channel (BensKOllectables) it's review on Jan 10th and Sabretooth started to show up around beginning of February (I've ordered mine on 14th), so, if this schedule is correct, third figure should be available very soon (today? :D ).

    Razorclaw (and I'm assuming Onyx Prime) aren't released yet are they?

    Guaranteed you would've seen it in this thread if they were. We're all waiting on them. =)

    TerryTFSClub has orders up for Headstrong, so it looks like a leg is next up. There's only a picture of the box, though, so it's hard to tell what changes have been made.

    I'm kinda curious on how they're going to deal with the combiner thighs.

    I'm fine with them being detachable so the individual robots won't have gigantic pylons sticking off their backs.

    I wouldn't be surprised if 'Razorclaw' is the final release. Going by the changes done to War Eagle, and the pics of Wei Jiang Predaking's torso, there's going to be quite a bit of functional and aesthetic remolding involved and WJ may want more time to perfect it.

    I was originally expecting it to be the second or third release, though. I guess the leg-bots are simpler to do.

    Still, it's nice to know the next one's on the way. I'm curious to see what they've done with him.

    Well for one thing it look like the foot cannon sits lower on this back with the barrels coming out over his head. I'm wondering if it got moved forward or if it somehow collapses. Will also be nice to see if the bands somehow fit in the feet.

    It's really nice to see these cranked out.

    I remember it took what? 11 months for the NBKstator? With the biggest delay being they horriblered up Hook so that the awfuler KO wouldnt work.

    Our modded "variable limb" Predaking with KO Divebomb in the mix as well as the new height extensions on our mod kit. Also shown in exclusive "Left the house wearing 2 different shoes!" mode! Lol

    New pics on IG of Rhino seem to confirm that the combiner legs are not detachable... =\

    Awesome. I just saw it in my fb feed:) 

    I didn’t think the legs would be detachable- they haven’t been retooling this set *that* much:/

    It makes sense that they’re doing the limbs before Razorclaw. From an upgrade standpoint, the Hasbro Predaking is becoming bionic.lol

    and Edit: These have been released like once a month, not bad;)  I paid on Dec 27, Feb 15, and now this guy scheduled to be released in the next week. At this rate, the set could be done by or before June.

    Could Iron Rhino possibly be a bit OS compared to POTP Headstrong? On the original, he reminds me of an overloaded camel.

    Also are the feet bigger this time round? That's the impression I'm getting.

    I intended to get these for the combined mode myself, so I'm not too fussed. It would be nice if one day we could get Predacon toys without the combiner mode just to improve the other two modes.

    EDIT; And that's Iron Rhino ordered from Show Z.

    [Pre-Order] WeiJiang WJ Sky Soarer Headstrong Oversized Iron Rhino Combination Mode POTP Feral Rex Predaking

    Apparently it will be released at the end of this month.

    Just got my War Eagle today (Yes, most of the sellers here just got their stock ready this week) and I gotta say, the plastic quality is not that good and the balljoints on the feet are kinda floppy so he tends to fall backwards.

    But considering that I'm only paying 13 bucks for him, it's not a bad deal, can't wait to finally complete the king himself.

    What do you guys think is a good price for each of the first three figures via online shops? EBay sellers? and while I've never used them before, AliExpress? Just realised what these were and looks like they are worth buying for a good price. Cheers!

    I'd say no more than $20 but you should be able to get them at $15 each

    I’ve been getting mine from ShowZ. $18.99 shipped each. Although right now, he seems to have this guy for $16.99. I guess I was a week too early.lol
