Interesting...though it'll be even better if they also put in an additional thumb for both hands in the set so FeralRex owners can get that 6finger beastly look TFC's seems to be capable of.

Did predaking even have claws in the G1 cartoon ? Im too lazy to pull out the dvds right now. I cant say Im a huge fan of the witch claws though. I would rather have a new head without the smiley thing on the face plate. I know they were shooting for vintage toy accuracy, but some things are better off forgotten. And 6 fingers, no thank you. I dont know any mammals in real life that have 6 fingers except deformed Hemingway cats.

It doesn't appear to be the case. Also, there's no spikes coming out of the thumb and pinkie (or 6th finger/2nd thumb). The images I found wouldn't hotlink, but I didn't look much. A quick Google Image search pretty quickly summed up these questions.

However, I do know that the claws, and 6th finger/2nd thumb have been things that supporters of Ares have used as a reason to like it over MMC. Now, someone who likes MMC's aesthetics and the claw-like look can have that aspect as well. It'd be cool to provide both the 2nd thumb and additional spikes from the thumb/pinkie area for those who want it. (And yes, we know you don't like NEO stuff, X. But some people do, myself included.)

I like it.
I'm developing a bit of a thing for TF hands now. Much like i had a thing for ankle swivel and it's absolute necessity on every new figure i buy because it enhances the perceived quality of a figure,
I now have a thing for hands.

I will get behind anything that is progressive in this area.

Curious to see how this turns out.

I already ordered that other set of pointed fingertips from TFW... but I can probably be convinced to buy these too if these if these are significantly better.

Never thought i would be buying some fake nails for a giant evil robot these will have to be super cheap .

HA! But they're hot.

No thanks, The Feral Rex hands already have articulation. Don't need replacement hands that have more joints than my hands.

If their looking to create replacements parts for Feral Rex. Than I'd suggest more beautuful looking robot heads for the individual robots and for the gestalt head.

Other bolder suggestions are to create newer team members. Like a Voyager Carnivac wolf that transforms into a robot. Voyager Chainclaw Bear that Transforms into a robot. Voyager Snarler Warthog that Transforms into a robot. Call them newer recruits, MIA, Jailed or maybe dead team members.

T these are not new hands just add on finger tips to make clawed hands .

Thanks for clearing that up. Suspose the finger tips are nice attachments if there really cheaply priced.

Think the finger tips might look nicer in gold or in the grey color of the fist.

2 bucks a finger isn't horrible if you really want that look. Fortunately, I don't care about that look. Im more interested in the G1 swords at TFW2005. Does anybody have the link for those ?

I jumped on the Prof. Heisenberg pre-order. I'm not sure why, but it was like instinct. At least I have 2 months to think about it.

Thanks. I hit the guy up but he said I was too late. He said he plans to do another run by the end of the year. Im sure when Talon and Tigris drop, it will give him enough potential buyers to go through with it. Ill be waiting.

I just realized something...though I'll likely display Feral Rex in combined mode for years to come, I wonder how these add-ons will affect storage of the fists in the feet... That's probably a deal breaker for me.

Are they serious?

Suspose it's only a ripp off if you buy it. If not you don't get ripped off.

AHA! That's what I ordered. I'll have to remember Dr. Killinger so if they don't show up, I know who to bug.

This also makes me happy with the Killinger tips... seamless storage.

Final images .

$20 BUCKS? what the hell is he cooking... also will final product be blue?

Those look a bit out of place on the gestalt... I ordered the ones of TFW (but who knows when those will arrive) that makes you knock out the pin and replace the tips. Those mesh a bit better, in my opinion.

Looking at these they are kind of cool, but if they prevent storage in the feet/guns, then they are no good for me.

Also, it is a $10 item to me, not a $20 item.

Looks pretty awesome. If I were more into the MMC Predaking I'd be all for it but as it happens I prefer the TFC version.
