2010 Wonder Festival (Summer) Exclusive - Jizaitoys Nano Scale Transformers Predaking

*pauses, takes note of news*

*notices price*

*resumes crying*

Figure =
Availability =
Price =

As much as I would love a tiny predaking these look kinda meh for the price

TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE DOLLARS?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!


....NO!

Geez. They have to be out of their minds.

I will have this.

And also, it's exclusive, smallest, and made by a small company along the lines of FansProject.

Sixshot Smallest - $400
Magnus Armor Smallest - $450

You're out of your mind if you pay that much for that little figure. You can buy the knock off for less than $30 and it looks exactly the same.

That is so sick! If I cancel my preorder for the 2010 Predaking set, the price tag won't be nearly as painful. BBTS, bring on the pre-order.

You'll have to e-bay this and get lucky or have a contact in Japan willing to go to the convention and stand in line for this. BBTS won't have this thing, they never carry Jizai stuff.

Are you kidding me? That looks awful! The molding looks KO at best, the flash isn't even trimmed, and it looks like it would fall apart if you looked at it funny.

That's ridiculous. That's just flat out terrible.

There are a few things to keep in mind with these, they are not figrues like FansPreject or such they are garage kits, tiny garage kits, made by a couple of people by hand.

You usually have to assemble and paint them by yourself and are only available at these conventions in limited quantities and are licensed by Takara.

If you had these in hand and you saw how small these things are, you wouldn't even see the flash and unevenness of the material, and you wouldn't care since cleaning them up is part of the whole thing, like making a model kit.
And the price is dictated by the guy who bought it at the convention as it includes something of a 300% mark up.

It's still pretty cool, not as cool as their Wheely but still pretty cool.

I'd just get the KO instead.

Hehe, I checked the size of the KO, and the Predaking is not WST scale, So I will be browsing ebay for one and sending it to one of my customizing friends for a touch up. Oh dear, I thought this was going to be a cheap series to collect. Who wants to buy me a WST Predaking? Anyone? No one? Really?

If you think this is expensive wait till you see Ultra Magnus, $100 - 120 for the cab and another 600 for the Jizai trailer if you're lucky enough to find one, although you won't need the cab for the trailer.

For that much money, i can find MUCH, MUCH better things to spend it on.

Pass, ill wait for Predaking true size being re-issued at the end of this year.

Not really, There is a trailer on ebay for 400, and I saw a BIN for an UM with box for 45. So seriously, no one wants to buy me one?? I'll pay for shipping?? Really??

There is just one WST UM on ebay, the one with the Jizai trailer and that's a pretty good price actually considering the last time I saw only the trailer it cost around the 500 mark.
Then there is a WST UM KO with a mini i-pod trailer, which is pretty cool and a SD model kit which is falsely advertised as a WST UM.

Be patient for Ultra Magnus. I have a black one coming, armor I mean, so the KO folks are getting their forks into it. Specifically heerotoys.

I may jump on the Predaking when I get some extra dough, if it's still around.

I'd like to see pictures of more than just the box though.

Haha, Your welcome TT, Yeah, most of the WST made today are KOs, I just want to see the size comparison between the KO WST Predaking and this one, I want the smaller one.

Sort of, it's more like 2/3 scale of the original, but considering the original is larger than most TFs, that's good enough for me. And it's cheap!
