That's right, folks, Crazy Devy has revealed the next gestalt in line for some upgrades. Coming to an online retailer near you in January 2011, an upgrade for your G1 Seacons! What this upgrade will entail remains to be seen, but the full sized propaganda-style promo image can be seen on Crazy Devy's website.

May actually get these if the prices are right.

Besides that 8-barrel rotary cannon from Snaptrap's TFU illustration in issue 59, I'm really not sure what upgrade the Seacons might need. Is the toy inaccurate to how King Poseidon was drawn in Masterforce?

Do you mean if they are $150 for all the parts?

Sadly well probably not get an early review until it is massed released, due to Optibotimus having a, lets say, not so good relationship with CD. He was the only one i know of getting them early to advertize them.

this company is scetchy to me...i spent alot of money on the devy set up the purple cement mixer, the shoulder attachment sucked as did the piece for his torso and the fingers fall off very easily...i know its for display but it was very annoying, so i passed on all superion and most of predaking, except i might buy the head. anyone buy all the predaking upgrades? any good?

anyone bought anything from Crazy Devy? Do they mail you your product directly, or just send vague hints as to where to pick it up?

It's probably a new head. They always start with the head.

Hmm what parts can it be for Piranacon.

Head with LEDs
The giant Trident
The 8 barrel rotary Gun
New articulated hands
New feets
Knees

It is what comes to my mind all sold separate for a total of enormous money.

"ding ding ding ding" we have a winner here and give this man a prize of his choice! I cant speak for anyone else, but i thought CD done an awesome job on G1 Devastator and his parts, but if Piranacon turns out like Devastator, then im sold on it! Piranacon is one of my top 3 combiners of all time and getting Predaking today along with the head and wings from CD, now i have to get the sword and feet.

They're doing a fine job on everything except the last Devastator set which was garbage IMO really. Their pricing just blows. These guys need to take a step back and re-evaluate what their product is worth. Not keep forcing product down our throats when a lot of us are waffling over the costs. I like what I have by them I just don't believe the upwards hike in price is necessary at all.

Is Crazy Devy done with Predaking and Superion? I like the results, but lately it's been all over the place.

I believe he is not done with Predaking, he still has many more upgrades to make, like bigger arm cannon, shoulder cannons, waist/thigh upgrade and so on. About Superion, im kinda lost about that one and really dont care since Piranacon upgrade will be SWEET!!!!

OK now let me see:

New head with LEDs: $45
New hands: $30
New feet: $25
New sword: $50
New Trident: $60
New cannon: $100

And one of those parts will damage the toy. Ye I can see how CrazyDevy gives you the best value for your money from all of the 3rd party companies.

I sent an email to crazy devy asking if they were done with the Devastator upgrades and just got a reply that said "The best is yet to come."

nipple tassels and a motor to make him spin them is my guess

I'm going to wait and see if they match the TFCC Seacons (and if there's any bad reviews) before getting them.

Predaking wings come to mind when I think of problems.

I'm not interested in anything but their Devestator upgrades. Those are already quite the investment and quite the uncertain roller coaster ride. I dislike their absurd prices and their photography; the way they give you angled shots of the product in use, but no shots of the actual product itself. And I'm not even sure if they're done with Devy yet. They've definately added some new products after their initial ideas were done. And how long has it been since they started? I'm not an impatient guy, but it's rediculous that it's taken so long to get all their sets out. Not prepared for similar treatment with any other combiner.

Thats why you watch reviews, email the companies and hop on chat forums (hint! hint! like this one) and find out whats worth buying and whats not.

Oh I'm actually pretty sick to hear how almost 50 dollars for a slightly bigger head are "just a few dollars more" and how "grate" it is the last honest review I have seen of a CrazyDevy product was the video pointing out how their "40 karate plated" Predaking wings are just vacuum metallized and ruin your Predaking.
So far I haven't seen anything from CrazyDevy that's actually worth buying, except maybe the testicles for ROTFL legends Devastator, and those are more hilarious than cool.

Maybe a hint at an update for Classics Devastator?

I have to agree on some of the comments about Crazydevy - $40 to give Predaking a head that can move seems utter madness to me.

I'm interested to see what they do with the Seacons.
