Was there a question if he had metal parts? Because it looks like there's metal on most of them.
I wasn't sure if I'd get one of these, but I think I'll go for it. He looks fantastic.

Real shame about Razorclaw's head. Maybe if I get this reissue I'll find a junker and swap out the head.

i'm still pretty torn on this.
One the one hand, the new gold plastic flows better with his gold decals. Stick out a bit less than the G1 yellow.
On the other, the yellow (albeit maybe not as bright as the toy) is what is shown in all the cartoon and comics. Also there isn't the gold plastic issue to worry about.
I suppose either will do, and as I already own the Previous reissue, I suppose I should pass on this.

Aw, really? I think the gold Razorclaw head is the neatest new touch. Oh well, I'll go sit in the corner.

Its like a dream come true! and for those people who like to "nick pick" about this, just be happy its being re-re-release again and so those who missed out can capture its beauty one more time!! For myself i could care less about razorclaws' head, and beside i have the G1 one anyway.
Also this gold color look alot better than the Crayola sunshine yellow they used.

The gold itself isn't so bad, it's the fact that he lost the red faceplate. That's one of the orginal's most striking features, IMO.
And yeah, how many times do we need to tell people
there will not be GPS? It's come up in every single thread so far. GPS hasn't been an issue in years, it's the wrong shade of gold, and furthermore, this is
painted gold. Who knows what the underlying parts will be, but it's pretty certain it will not suffer from GPS.

There are actually higher resolution images on Amazon.co.jp than the ones you've got. They have 1200x1200 res ones but you need to piece them together which is what my brother Quartz did this morning for our site. If you go to the Amazon site and click the images, then zoom in you'll be able to see them. Its worth piecing them together though.

If you go to the TFwiki page then you will see an explanation of GPS and why it is not an issue now. Toys with GPS like the G2 Aerialbot Slingshot have little shiny specks in the gold which is apprently the main cause og GPS. These Predacons are a solid shade of Gold paint.

Comforting thing is that Gold Plastic falls apart quite easily over time and then becomes worthless. And that this Predaking is not made of that kind

I plan on using GPS to find a store in Japan to buy this figure from.
Then I'll have GPS and Predaking.
So much excitement that I'll fall apart...

This glossy/metallic 2010 Predaking looks very interesting. I actually like it. I may get them regardless with die cast or not. If the box has a window, then I'll definitely be getting them. That would mean, I will have 3 sets of Predaking (2004 loose/ display, 2004 AFA 85 MISB, and 2010 glossy MISB).
If I have to choose between the original color and this 2010 glossy/metallic Predaking set, I'll pick the original color. It's more ease to the eyes. These glossy Predaking colors are too bright for the eyes, it's like it's screaming at you, ehehe.
