A user on Toynova has posted pictures of the CMDW-11 Complimentary Parts for Predaking from Crazy Devy. This set includes replacement wings for Divebomb that are thinner and a brace to better hold the wings in place when combined into Predaking. The original Crazy Devy add-on wings were causing damage to Divebomb's wings when placed on them. The smaller, thinner wings are meant to be swapped out with Divebomb's original wings and then the larger gold wings placed over them. See the pictures below.

Thats great! Now the wings wont wobble all over the place, and our nice vintage toys stay nice. I also notice the wings have some sort of sparkle powder or something in there, like metallic flakes, which is a nice touch. Hope it doesn't compromise the integrity of the plastic.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you still have to remove some stickers/decals in order to replace the wings...

You are incorrect. The "plus+" wings are thinner and have no stickers, if for some reason you wanted to Optibotimize your vintage wings, but didn't want to harm your stickers, then you would remove the stickers from your vntage wings and proceed to force the huge wings on, maiming your soft vintage plastic. To be clear - all you have to do is unscrew your your standard divebomb wings, and screw in the plus+ wings. Then you attach your beautiful new gigantic wings with BONUS WING ASSEMBLY BRACE(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)!

What I ment was, the package shows you have to take out the screws in the back of the wings in order to swap them. But the screws are covered up with stickers, as you can see in the picture I linked. And you have to remove those stickers in order to reach the screws. It's not that big a deal, but still... You have to remove them nevertheless.

Oh I understand now, I think this pic will help make things clear for you:)

As you can see, the stickers are safely on the other side of the business end of the screws!

You may wanna fix your link, you've doubled you HTTPs and made it unuseable.

Yup, it looks like the screws are on the front. That's cool. Now the only thing I have to worry about (because I already ordered those wings before Optibotimus reviewed them) is that they're possibly too large

My vintage Predaking is at my parent's place, so that's why I have to make due with the pictures on the site. Plus, I have Divebomb's guns placed in the "screw-holes".
Also ordered the Takara re-issue for my new place though, and that's the version that will receive all the CrazyDevy upgrades.

Is there anyone who has already applied the wings to their Predaking? Did everything go o.k.? I'm a little paranoid now of placing them on mine when I open it......

[Protoform-Goblin]

Ok I just upgraded the smaller wings from the power parts and I must say I like them a lot more then the originals. The originals (or at least mine) were some soft plastic that is rather…..bendy the new ones from this kit are hard plastic and feel much sturdier, and I thought they may be smaller or something but they are direct copies. I wish they made a kit with just the small wings, and wished they made them in a gold plastic since I think the larger wings will still destroy the stickers. As for the bigger wing attachment it went well and I saw the review where the weight stripped the gears but I did not have that problem at all. To be honest the big wings look a bit over the top right now hope the other upgrades they do help out with that.

I finally got the time to put mine together, and WOW!! I LIKE IT! It is massive! I can't wait for the rest of the add-ons to come out, although I still want the other third party's sword......
