I wanted to make sure TFW2005 got the word out on the risk you might be taking with your vintage or reissue Predaking when adding on these third party parts. Check out this video review by our own optibotimus316 for the full story and images. We’re told the manufacturer is aware of the issue and is sending out some sort of protective part. We’ll keep you posted as more on this story develops.

totally forgot about this thread lol.
I forgot to mention that I sold the Crazy Devy Wings and cancelled all my preorders that I had at the time for the rest of the King's Power Parts.
Lesson learned.

damn, that sucks. Is that common? I never knew that was an issue with these guys
GAUGE
hahahahahaha!
Here's what those stupid wings did to my vintage [metal version] Divebomb's wings.
they were so heavy they actually stripped the fragile gears inside which made them sag.
Optibotimus and I were the first to get the wings if memory serves

they even scratch the wings they provide. That sucks they did that to you, translation problem perhaps? I've talked back and forth with people in Japan and the engrish comes off…rough sometimes.
Optibotimus
If they would have at least apologized to me for destroying the wings on a fairly expensive, vintage figure. And NOT came out and made it seem like it was my fault. Only to have them essentially acknowledge the design flaw and issue new stuff to protect that from happening again. I would have been over it…but i hold a grudge with this unfortunately. That said, i do like how all the stuff looks, i just don't want it anywhere near my figure again

That sucks it happened. Their stuff is rather good other than that problem. I have almost all the PK and Devy stuff, but i didn't mess with the feet upgrade either due to fear of damage.
Optibotimus
This is fairly old news, but after they sent me these to review and i destroyed my vintage Divebomb wings, they proceeded to say that i put them on wrong, resulting in damaging my original figure. But then after that, released sets that came with the back stabilizer AND replacement wings to put on your vintage figure so that you don't destroy your vintage ones. That was the last time i reviewed or recommended a product of theirs. I will say these, like a lot of other CD stuff, look great on the figures, but it's not worth risking it and they do not get any money from me anymore.

Thanks for the help

They did when I bought mine. I'd have to think they still do. But yeah, in a separate envelope they pack in a spare set of divebomb wings, just flat black, no stickers. So you take apart Divebomb's backpack and swap the stock wings with the new ones.
The new ones they give you are sized the same, not any thinner or anything. Just a spare set to have to not bust up your stock ones.

I finally was able to come up with some money to buy the predaking 2010 gift set. I was wondering when you purchase the cdmw-11 do they come with extra divebomb wings to replace your originals so they don't get damaged?
Don't mean to necropost, but I can't find any information on my questions and didn't want to make a thread on such a small issue.

I finally got my wings and vintage set, and they're beautiful! the first thing I did, even knowing that they can mess up the divebomb stickers, was put them on the stock wings, albeit carefully. yup, scratched the stickers. but I knew it would probably happen, and it comes with the replacement wings anyway, so just don't even give it a try and you're fine.
trying to be subjective about it, if you take for example the headrobot hardhead upgrade, you had to unscrew something to put it on. so you take the king's wings, and you have to take apart the backpack to put in the replacement thinner wings to attach the big ones to.
the joints are super tight, and on mine they don't flop around at all. looking at the artwork on the box, the wings do a pretty faithful job recreating the picture on the front.
I highly recommend these, especially if you're like me an the anime style of robots with oversized wings and guns really sets you off.

yeah i would definitely NOT put these on a vintage divebomb, still makes me wonder if cd has a reason why he made these wings so damn big.
Maverick Hunter Christian
Man… that is something else. I've had mine sitting in the package since Christmas. I still sorta kinda wanna get another Divebomb backpack to try this with, rather than damage the only one I've got.

here is a pic of the wings on predaking

Optibotimus took down all of his CD reviews due to the treatment he received from crazydevy.
No response, no appology, no replacement parts, nothing.
They ruined a part of a toy that held very significant sentimental value to op (not to mention the $600 price tag) and chose not to even acknowledge his existence.
They have treated him very poorly, and he will not endorse thier products.
So be sure you are willing to risk damage and the cold shoulder from these guys, if you buy thier products.
