    We had a choice for a reissue of anything from the 3p world, and Jinbao Predaking popped into someone's head.

    It looks like they're using the upgraded lion head but are keeping the original hands. Weird choice.

    Potp? This seems to be the KO’d version of the MMC feral rex.

    can anyone confirm if this set is OS’d or regular sized or a different size? Zooming in on some of the wrists, it seems they’re not using the swivel wrist upgrades either.

    If this is a 1:1 scale with the MMC, then it already looks better than the previous 1:1 KO of it. If it’s OS’d to the same scale as the previous OS’d KO, then it is weird that they only used the lion head upgrade and not any of the others, and its selling price would the the key determining factor for picking up another set.

    Unless they include all the upgrades, this reissue will be absolutely pointless. Judging off the incorrectly colored lion head, these might just be placeholder images or something.

    I wonder of theyll improve the plastic quality? If I recall the old one had sucky plastic so they should probably fix that.

    Hmmm. The plastic on mine seems pretty solid. I actually prefer the combined look of this guy over the official one due to its bulk where the Titan class one is very lean looking.

    The plastic on the OSKO is thick and sturdy. It's like a really rugged kid's toy, not like something MMC or Hasbro would use. For the price, these were pretty well regarded when they came out. I still prefer these to the Hasbro Predaking because I like the chunkier proportions. I also don't mind Razorclaw being leader-sized. Everyone else is a big voyager, which is fine. I'd be interested in buying this again if they remade this to go with their more recent combiners. Specifically, functional ratchets in the combiner shoulders and lighter plastic would be nice. You'd think that thick and sturdy plastic would be a good thing but it's counterproductive for a combiner of this size.

    My gut feeling is that this is just a repackage of the older set and not a refinement of it, though, so new buyers would be lucky to have the upgrade kit rolled in. It just seems like they'd have something new in the pictures if they were releasing a new version.

    Looks like all the upgrades kit are pre installed in this reissue.

    The following main upgrades that are pre installed is the combiner head, lion head and the combiner hands. Cause in the original ko mold, the combiner head was scale up making it look out of proportion. Original ko combiner hands were similar to POTP Predaking's hand, while the new upgrade gives it moveable fingers like the original MMC Feral Rex. As for the lion head part, the original Ko head is one piece and you couldn't move the mane, the upgrade address that issue making it move like the original MMC mold. As for the derpy oversized head for the individual bots, unfortunately yes, it's still there. Hope this helps.

    that and the weapons being too big were the only issues left to be fixed, I don't get why they didn't.

    In anticipation of the 3rd OS Feral Rex set I recently ordered arriving (what can I say, I love this thing), I've revised and overhauled some of my old designs for this combiner. New, updated torso extension design, arm/leg extensions, and a hip joint upgrade to give him a wider stance and circumvent the useless friction hip joint by using a new toothed engagement design for more stability/posability. Overall height is now 19-inches even. Now I have two MP/Zeta scaled Predaking options to choose from on my shelf. =)
