Don't worry, I'm sure TFC will have you covered there knowing their track record of releasing addons to complete their sets and whatnot.

Can't wait to have this bad boy fully assembled in my collection though. Fantastic work, MMC.

You realize we're talking about MMC right?

"MMC" is in the title of the thread...

I do. What was said was intended for if one wanted to take the TFC addon for -their- Not-Predacons... which I'd be willing to bet will include a sword... and give it to MMC's Not-Predacons.

I'm just stating what I feel is an issue I have with the main combined weapon since the first reveal last year when they showed it next to Classics Prime. Feel free to disagree or state why you think the sword looks good, but you don't need to at my opinion.

Your can like the sword and display your Predaking however you would want, I'm not going to say your wrong.

And Nos I feel that is an excellent idea to take the TFC "rage" set & steal the sword I'll either do that or track down the CrazyDevy release from a few years ago. It may be just as large, but at least the sword will look like a solid piece of weapon with a normal looking hilt at the end.

Ahhhh - that makes sense. That add-on is inevitable

I can at your, or anyone else's, opinion... all it means is that I disagree, in the convenient form of an emoticon. No need to get defensive, but to be fair, I do overuse them. They're so darn cute! I apologize if you felt that to be disrespectful.

At first blush I think the sword is cool by virtue of being big and beefy. Once we see color renders, the gaps may not seem like a big deal, just like the overly beefy legs seem OK now that we've seen some renders. Not many people seemed to have a problem with Junkion Blacksmith's Infinity Warfare kits, which MMC appears to be taking a cue from. If anything, I view the spaces to be tasteful ornamentation - but again, we'll see how it looks in color.

Kapow has this on FB saying this is not a render and actual product could this be the final colours?

A3U youtube preview:

Even knowing that it's huge, I'm still blown away when I see it scaled next to....anything. Can't wait to get this.

Is there any images of him with his weapons that i may have missed

After wavering recently with TFC's release having me tempted, this video has me back 100% with MMC's version. No matter how good TFC does this character, I can't possibly see myself being more impressed than I am with Feral Rex.

Smart of them to loan out those figures for us to see. I have to imagine this sealed it for a number of people.

Saw the full combined mode at A3U the other day. Gotta tell ya.....this Predaking is jaw dropping when seen in person!! Really mind blowingly impressive. The sheer enormity and vicious aesthetics of the sword alone stopped me in my tracks.
I might have to invest into this spectacular combiner now that i've seen it in real life.
Those of you putting money into it won't be disappointed. The badassary of this release is second to none. I'll tell ya that.

I took my own photos but i see some have already been posted. SO nevermind.

Thank you for verifying the awesomeness! I am very much looking forward to the release of these figures. Even if they didn't have the early bird specials (which I immediately took advantage of in each case), I definitely still would have put down the money for Feral Rex.

Please, by all means, share your photographs. I need more fuel in my fire of desire.

Indeed! I'll second that sentiment. Any and all photos are appreciated. You never know. Maybe we will see something from an angle we haven't seen before. In particular, I'd love to see some more shots of that sword!

Thanks for that vid , i remember watching a couple of those but i never watched the leo dux one .Those blades are evil

As for more images yes i would like to see some of the back and more from the sides mainly for the arms .

Until the prices rise higher, then those desires shall burn away in a pyre and all hopes sink into a quagmire.

Until? Or do you mean While?

My photos didn't turn out so well. I have a shot of the backside but it's all fuzzy. I took the pics quick so their not so **** hot. I'll go back tomorrow and get some real decent ones for you guys. I'll take a little more time and get clearer more defined ones. Not so blurry.

Niiiiice! I can't help thinking he's talking in a thick, Australian accent, "That's not a sword. Now, this is a sword."

This might also be the first pic with the back cannons a little more upright. I like them. Could they be bigger? Sure, but I think they are big enough. (I need to resist saying something about it's how one uses one's cannons that is important...


Darn.)

Here's a poopy ass blurry backside photo taken on the quick. I'll do better next time but anything is better than nothin i guess. (first world problem)
