They have the patience to make everyone wait for Predaking & the Train Combiner.

 

Oh boy, Zeta Toys has just stirred the pot.


This is going to be fun.

Robot mode will be around 48cm tall

 

Robot mode looks surprisingly clean, planet is somehow dissapointing, just missing any wow factor, and the details are still softer than my pillows.

a bit suspicious of the reveal being in shadows.... unless its an edgy teen in charge of reveals, are they attempting to hide something?

 

The space between the planet and ring seems really off and the spikes are going off the comic since the movie had the same spike ring as the Haslab while this seems to be going more for the Marvel Comics look.
The mouth also looks...off
I don't know, I'll have to get both I guess.

 

What's the price? That's the question. It looks like it has less kibble

 

Interesting. I see some planet shell in the legs; curious how this all compresses.

I will say though that the Hasbro one feels like it's far more on point as far as proportions go.

 

19 inches? Lame.

 

Oh also that's translation...pfft hahaha.
"Recommended retail price $1500"
Are they crazy?

 

Or an incompetent adult. There are lots of those. Especially in management

 

From the linked source: ZT originally intended to reveal it on 1st Sep, but brought it forward due to "change in circumstances".

This will be produced in Dec 2019 and costs 1,500 yuan (US$210).

 

Click the transfans post translation and it says "recommended retail price $1500"

 

dam, if its in the 200's then I'm in for both, even with my problems with it.

no dollar sign in the translation.

 

So that means they wanted to show it after the end of Haslab campaign, can't/don't want to wait until October. As I expected they are positioning themselves as the cheaper/more practical alternative and I think that's the right decision, even if it still feels strange to think that they are making Unicron smaller than the combiners. If it's around $200 in China, shall we expect $300 from international retailers?

 

Sorry just it's funny and sadly has no currency name or mark next to it so it was hilarious.

 

This looks miles better than Hastak's version but unfortunately it's just too small - Being smaller than their own combiner means it doesn't fit anywhere in my collection.

That said, I don't think this is too small rather MP as a line is too big. I would love 18" to be the biggest piece in my collection but as it stands, MP is what I collect and this wouldn't work with that..

it looks amazing though, well done Zeta

 

I hope it's not just the Chinese price, cause at that point I ain't paying 300 for an 18" figure.

 

Some interesting engineering but I gotta imagine that difference in 10 inches is a significant one in terms of weight and transformability. There’s a reason Hasbro’s is designed to allow him to stay on the stand.

 

18" is too small. Kind of a shame, I was hoping this would be a viable alternative for those unable to get the Haslab release. They really should have gone with 24" at the very least.

 

Can someone please lighten the pictures, so we maybe can see more details? Thanks a lot!
