Something's been squashed today, and it's not rumors but doubters. The great and powerful Predaking will be part of Takara's 2010 Campaign. As revealed at the International Tokyo Toy Show by snakas, Predaking will be the sixth of the campaign. The lighting may be playing tricks, but it looks like Predaking has more bling than his original version. He's at a price of 15750 Yen, around $180 US. Not much else is known, but expect Predaking to be officially revealed by Takara by the end of the month. In the mean time, check the beast out below!

And how many body parts will this cost? Last one was at least an arm, and in some places arm and a leg.

So what, toes and fingers from the remaining limbs?

The pic says 15750 Yen, so around $180 American.

Must be die cast then. That's around the same pricing as the other reissue. The light's funny in that pic cuz he looks so shiny. If he's pretty different I may end up getting this. Die cast I can live without though. He's too heavy with.

Looks like the Predaking head might have a remold, too. Again, could be the lighting, but it looks much trimmer and defined.

Epic currency conversion! I'll be reordering a small handful... real small. Any possibility it will work with the crazy defy(right?) upgrade? I will someday soon need to get the original.

Glad I bought my reissue a few years back (Cost me about $150 if I remember).

Although I'm happy to see them reissuing Piranacon (Japanese exclusive style with 6 figures) I really wish Takara would STOP reissuing the same reissues they reissued a few years back :D .

Takara, since were talking combiners, can you guys move on to the Japanese exclusives like Road Ceaser, Dino King, Raiden & Lio Kaiser?

They have reissued a good number of G1 figures over the years but there are a few missed opportunities Takara passed on; Metrotitan, Targetmaster Artfire & Great Shot.
Re: Takara 2010 Campaign - Generation One Predaking Revealed (1098233)
Posted by alldarker on July 15th, 2010 @ 2:51am CDT
I have to agree with the previous poster: reissuing an item which has already been reissued in the not too distant past seems slightly moot, especially when so many other great G1 Transformers have yet to receive their first reissue.

Sure, it's good to see the G1 molds still get love from Takara, but while they're at it, why not reissue the Japan-exclusive cassettes, Star Saber and Victory Leo, Dinoking, Lio Kaiser, etc.. I'm pretty sure there's enough of a adult TF fan market out there who'd snap up whole production run of a limited production, premium-priced reissues of those 'grails'.

And to piss off the collectors of the original G1 versions of these re-issues slightly less, I'd say retool / recolor the reissues slightly, like they have done with the reissue Piranacon and they seem to have done with this re-reissue Predaking.

Anyhow, I own a MISB version of the previous re-issue Predaking, so I wouldn't be looking into buying this one any time soon.

Man, lots of big reissues coming up!

I've been holding off looking for Predakings on eBay cause this was rumoured. So I'll be picking him up for sure. Hope he ends up being a bit cheaper though.

This is nice, i only got Razorclaw as a kid and never got a chance to get the rest of the Predacons so this is good news for me and i dont care if i have to live my car for the next couple of weeks, im buying this!!! WOW first Piranacon and now Predaking!! Just like 25 years ago...

If PK has more 'blin' as BLurrz put it, as in what looks to be some shiny yellow/gold paint instead of bright yellow plastic, I will invest in this again.

I, like a few others, also have the previous re-issue MISP. And I have a loose G1 metal complete.

I love PK, but there has to be something really cool about this for me to grab it. :CON:
Re: Takara 2010 Campaign - Generation One Predaking Revealed (1098271)
Posted by VYPER ALPHA on July 15th, 2010 @ 5:43am CDT
if you look at the G1 gallery there are differences. i think the head is a new sculpt and there is gold paint on the lions mane where stickers once were.
I am looking forward to this.

Better pictures will help us to know if this is true, or if it is a trick of the lighting in the photo.

When I heard this was being reissued, I thought I was just going to skip it since I got the last reissue. After seeing this image, I might have to reconsider!

Posted by Counterpunch on July 15th, 2010 @ 6:40am CDT
I don't think that the color scheme will be different or more "bling". Here's why.

First, the pic to the side shows Razorclaw's lion face to be normal color.

Second, it would have to be painted plastic as those parts are part of the gang molded yellow portions of Razorclaw.

Third, the yellow on Headstron also appears to be gold, making me think it's a lighting issue.

Still, it's a 2010 Campaign piece, so something has to be special about it, something that the previous reissue didn't have. New head is plausible, but what I'd like to see is a new sword of an adequate size. The smaller swords look more like knives :P

Dear forum,


I apologize for doubting the veractiy of some of the reissue claims due to my sadness at the end of encore, but I feel reinvigorated now that I know we are getting a new reissued redecoed predaking. GOD BLESS TAKARA AND G ONE REISUES! I will now have a complete vitage misb predaking. A loose reissue predaking, a misb reissue predaking and now this one. I will have 4 predakings. I can't get enough of him.

While cheaper than the MISB examples of the G1 and earlier reissues, this is too rich for my blood. As much as I have wanted one of these since it was first released (Sky Lynx will continue without his nemesis) the rest of this year's great releases are kicking my a$$. :BANG_HEAD: Looks amazing :sad:

I have the first reissue already and opened up. After seeing a MISB Reissue Predaking goes above $300 on Ebay, I'm thinking to purchase one for an investment later on. But, if it has that shiny paint like TF Animated, or any modification e.g. head, then I'll pass this set.

:KREMZEEK: :shock: =P~ Beautiful. I'm not getting Primus, Unicron or The Seacons, but THIS I CANNOT PASS ON. I really hope it is the Die-Cast version for $180, but even if it's full plastic i'll still sell a kidney to get it(are they worth more when they're weighed down with kidneystones?) if I have to. This is awesome news. And I do believe the paint job is different & not just lighting. From what I can zoom in on, the head looks pretty much standard. But i've always wanted a Predaking & never been able to find one in acceptable condition(C8+) for a decent price so this is awesome news. Can you tell i'm ecstatically happy? :x 8-}

I take it back, Razorclaw's lion head is definitely gold when you see the pics of it in the other 2010 Campaign thread.

Yea...I'm going to go ahead and say that it doesn't look as good as the original.

Your opinion is wrong. :grin: I really think he looks good enough to replace my previous reissue with. At least from what I can tell. We'll see. I do like how he appears though.

I don't understand why I'm getting grief on this one.

The gold lion head would be less accurate than the yellow, hence my assertion that it would not be superior to previous verisons.

I'd cry myself to sleep if I hadn't had so much coffee this morning.

It's how we roll and you know this, man. I dunno, Predaking was never a big pull with me as a kid. So having him be more accurate doesn't really mean much to me. I stickered the reissue all up and God knows, you never see half that crap on him. In the comics or otherwise. I just think this new one looks really nice and it looks like it'll be a tough call for me on which I end up with. Like I said, we'll see. The pictures all seem a touch off.

I sold my original one yeeeeaaaars ago to the point I almost cried. Him and my dinos. The whole "Have to pay rent" scenario. Missed out on the reissue a few years back. The paint apps and look of this one is amazing.

Soooo...figured I'd throw this out there early. Anyone interested in picking up an extra of these and wanna broker a trade for 2 Botcon 2010 Sharkticons and 2 Botcon 2009 Sweeps. Even swap. LMK.

I really want Predaking, since I don't have any of the Predacons.

But $180 is an awful lot. Brave Maximus was no where near as expensive.

Like a lot of people I got the re-issue predaking 5 years ago. Personally I'm a bit peeved that this wasn't the version we got and it's being re-issued so soon. But seeing as how that re-issue is going for $300 on eBay I can see why it's being put out.

Between Animated and all this Predaking shininess, it's almost as if Takara-Tomy has been taken over by a bunch of crazy ass racoons.
