So what, toes and fingers from the remaining limbs?

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

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.

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 .
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.

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.
Posted by Oilspill on July 15th, 2010 @ 2:53am CDT
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.

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.
Posted by VYPER ALPHA on July 15th, 2010 @ 5:43am CDT
I am looking forward to this.

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.

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

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.

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

So, so cynical...
I will probably pull the trigger on it, if this does indeed to be a somewhat to incredibly changed set.

Your opinion is wrong. 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.
Posted by Counterpunch on July 15th, 2010 @ 9:36am CDT
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.

Flux Convoy wrote: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.
Gotcha on the guilt hook.

Amen brotha, Truer words have never been spoken (typed?). I completely agree with this.

Are they going for comic accuracy?
The lion looks gold to me there. I wish we got a new sword with this set.

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.
Posted by Joetx on July 15th, 2010 @ 10:02am CDT
But $180 is an awful lot. Brave Maximus was no where near as expensive.

I totally agree! I don't like that gold lion head or Predaking face coloring. If the finish product looks like this, I'll pass.

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.
Racoons!
