I'm with you, Predaking is one of the best toys to come along in quite a while for me. I've never owned any 3P figures, but its good to know PotP is considered *possibly* the best interpretation, at least in some fans opinions

Yes, I would say the sticker experience was MUCH better with Predaking than with past Titan Class figures. The stickers came off the sheet without issue, weren't too hard to place, the directions were mostly clear and correct (and when they weren't, it wasn't hard to figure out what needed to be done). I had very little trouble getting the stickers to adhere. In the few times that a placed a sticker incorrectly, I was able to peel them off and set them right without issue.

As far as time is concerned, it didn't take too long to do them all, but I have two copies (because I'm crazy like that) so it took me several hours to get all 10 figures done. The first time was the roughest, but the second time through was MUCH faster. Divebomb's many stickers were at first intimidating, especially the ones for his huge wings (front and back), but they went on quite easily, and the molded detail on the wings helped guide their placement very well. I'm quite happy with the results.

I agree with Will too. Power of the Primes Predaking is a solid figure. He stands well, poses well, has good heft to him, and all the joints are tight and solid. The combined mode is the star of the show, but the robot modes aren't bad (combiner kibble, et. al.). The beast modes don't look any worse than the G1 figures, but they're definitely the weakest part of the whole set.

Just applied all the stickers on my Predaking. Did anyone find it much easier than on past Titans (Fort Max/Trypticon)?. Of course it helped there were only about half as many overall, and most of them were all on Divebomb. But it appears even the adhesive used seemed to come off the sticker sheet easier, and there was less tearing. The trade off was, it required greater force to get the stickers to actually *stick*, but that's preferable to mangling/tearing them just to get them off the sheet initially. Tweezers were still required for some stickers, but overall I found the experience much less frustrating.

Wow. I'm glad you, Will, and Wolfman had good experiences with the stickers. I had trouble with nearly every one, with about half coming off with the backing still on. My sticker sheet was pressed just a bit too hard with the cutting die, I think. Well, except for the two places where the sticker actually ripped.

So, results probably vary. I know I got so frustrated that I stopped twice. I finally got all the stickers applied last week.

Still, he looks great. I don't like that every time I try to handle him in combined mode his waist collapses into itself. But, he's more fun to play with in combined mode than nearly any of my Combiner Wars/PotPie figs.

Man, I opened my Outback figure and he's missing one of his little flippy heel parts. Back to Amazon with you!
