The figure is great! He's extremely posable, but his neck is kind of difficult to position due to the spring. I haven't tried to transform him yet due to loving his dragon form. He's a beast in this form! No pun intended.

That's a good idea. Pity I don't have either.Quote:

EDIT - Aww, having just watched Kalel's video review he's gonna have to be really cheap to be worth getting.:(
I did a review of this for some of the guys in the US.
I have to admit, I LOVE his dragon mode but his robot mode really let me down. The weak wrist ball joint, the simple transformation, it all didn't work for me.
That's why he's gonna stay in dragon mode which is pretty awesome.
I would only recommend it if you can find it closer to the Voyager price.

Big Bad Dragon! A very cool version of Predaking from transformers beast hunters. Fantastic size and fun play pattern.
The weakest part of predaking is the lack of articulation in the dragon head and/or lack or a locking mechanism, Otherwise articulation is beast mode is fine. With a massive wingspan he is quite imposing.
Predaking has some really nice paint apps (see his thighs) but a lot of lacking areas too. Many moulded details are lost due to lack of paint.The budget has gone the the wings with I suppose is a required evil. He also has a bunch of cybertronian runes scattered all over him which is a really nice touch.
Articulation and robot mode is fairly good and mostly kibble free.
I do recommend this figure as the beast Predaking mold out at the moment.

I would've loved an articulated tail because the part as a weapon does look like it could be a ranged weapon. Because I like this toy so much I can forgive the limited articulation of both heads.Quote:

Also take the batteries out first so they don't go flat. :D
