hi,
my reissue predaking keeps on tilting dangerously sometimes currently he is fighting Bruticus and tilting like an old man is it fixable? So if I bought the CD Predaking wings/giant guns would this fix the problem.

Also is it worth buying the extras i was thinking about it but there a bit pricey, I might try making my own.

Apoligies if this is in the wrong forum

=P~

Can we see pics of the problem? I've never heard of a tilting Predaking until today.

I highly doubt any of that overpriced garbage from CD will fix the figure. Save yourself some cash and don't buy their stuff.

Out of all the CD parts for Predaking I've heard the wings are the biggest problem of all. I can't recall if they made him too top heavy or if they would fall off. I recommend caution on the wings but the head is pretty damn cool! :VEHI:

I don't have mine with me at the moment, but check that the legs are extended fully and don't retract in on the weight. They're meant to be extended in gestalt mode, not compacted

And I have all the CD stuff for Predy. It's pricey but dang he's awesome. The wings, large sword, and gun extension truly make him "The King"

First run of the CD wings were way too tight around the original wings, scratching them badly and pushing off the gold stickers. Second run 'fixed' this by adding a custom made, slimmer second pair of Divebombs wing attachment to slide the bigger wings on.

All the reviews i heard were 50/50 someone apparently used there original predaking for the CD wings which damaged them severley as they cost £500 i wouldn't dare risk it.

I have the reissued predaking my only one and i absolutely love him to bits. I have extended the legs further apart as one was compacted it also provided him with extra room for his thighs.

I heard the new feet also damage the nubs on the figures.

How do you add photos as i tried using the image upload and it wouldn't let me. I was very annoyed as i wanted to add my collection so everyone could be impressed by them.

Which reissue are we talking about here? The first reissue or the 2010 one?

My 2004 Reissue stands nicely the last time I check, he's not leaning forward or backward. My only minor issue with the 2004 version are: the arm socket, that thing is madly tight. Also Predaking head doesn't lock well into Razorclaw head. Lastly, the wing doesn't lock well onto Razorclaw.

I bought "the King" as soon as he came out and when he got home i checked all robots both in bot and alt modes and after i combined all of them, my Predaking is fine and also i added the wings and head and i have no problems with the King, other than he dwarfs the rest of the combiners i have!

He's just that good. BAM.

My 2004 reissue has no problems, this is about the 2010 version?

When I get home I am gonna have to take out my 04 reissue to make sure nothing is wrong with him... I really dont remember any issues but reallly hes been confined to his case for a very long time

I did try the leg fix, still tilts worser now so i might try an internal repair. I also have the Crazydevy sword which is awesome but that should not affect it too much i hope its not damaged maybe just needs some Glue and TLC.
