IMO reissue Predaking's better than the original. Reasons include...
1) Die-cast metal -- the vast majority of G1 Preds are plastic. The metal variants are harder to find than hen's teeth.
2) Way cheaper; you're getting a complete set of MISB metal G1 Predacons that retailed for AU$170 -- I don't know how much this set is going for now, but I'd wager it'd still cost way less than what you'd pay for a complete set of MISB metal original G1 Preds. There's a complete loose G1 Predaking on eBay here with a Buy It Now price of US$325! (so just $15 shy of being double the cost of the MISB reissue's RRP) -- and the auction doesn't seem to mention if it's plastic or metal, but odds are it's plastic.

Most reissues are pretty good quality -- some recent ones (e.g. Bruticus, Devastator) have been the exception to the norm, but I have the Predaking reissue myself - and I've compared it with an original G1 IRL side by side, and the reissue is just bloody fantastic. Probably not worth getting if you already have the original, but a damn fine and more affordable substitute if you don't!

Yeah, seems better. Ebay hates on reissues so much! They say: Oh, they're terrible, terrible, cheap figures. Stay away. WTF!? Maybe they're getting 'em confused with KOs?

Nope its a custom made frame which cost me just over $200 mainly because the size of the print was an odd sizing i couldnt buy one off the shelf
