Via Cang Toys Weibo we can share for you images of the color prototype of their CT-Chiyou-08 Rusirius & CT-Chiyou-05 Thorilla.
This new take on the G1 Predacons brings us a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still recognizable as the classic G1 characters plus some new additions to the group. Rusirius is a completely new character which transforms into a wolf and it can also convert into the foot of the Thunderking (Predaking) combiner. It will be included with CT-Chiyou-05 Thorilla.
Cang Toys have also shared updated deco images of their Thorilla figure. It is a completely new character who transforms into a gorilla and it forms the crotch of Thunderking/Predaking.
See the mirrored images on this news post after the jump and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

You and me both. This and Longmini. With this version of the Preds along with the color scheme, Cang has become my favorite 3P/MP company of all companies I've dealt with over the years for my figures. The more I try to get away, the more I get pulled back in by Cang. It never fails. Maybe that's why I can't stay away from them lol..

Now if they make the mini one in purple…

While I agree with you on this sentiment, I had to make this exception within the rule. I usually don't break these type of rules, but how could I even resist this one? My only regret was wishing I had gotten Nero Rex when it was floating around. But I think this version would be better suited for the occasion. Besides, unless Longyan joins the dark side, he may end up in serious trouble as although Dinos are much stronger than predatory animals (i.e., lions, tigers, etc.), TK most likely will have a massive advantage over him since once something is consumed by darkness, it gives them powers beyond their wildest imagination and Stegs won't be able to face TK alone, let alone, two Dark Preds. One being the King of the entire group..
Doom Slayer
Yes. I'm happy with one set of each.
TheLastPrime2893
Even if Longyan joins the Dark side?..
Doom Slayer
While I like how he looks, I stick to one figure of each in the set.

While I appreciate the loophole attempt, it definitely is to me since I try not to buy the same molds more than once.
Still back and forth on this one and, so far, willpower is actually winning. Then again, I've only known about this repaint for three hours…we'll see how well that holds at the end of the week, lol
TheLastPrime2893
Well, at least we don't have to wait much longer for that. April is right around the corner and before you know it, there's gonna be in hand images going all over the place of these guys. Hopefully the rest of the team doesn't get released so fast. I have to try and play keep up lol..

I NEVER buy repaints unless there’s new molding. However, I absolutely MUST make an exception here. Also for shattered glass predaking, I’d go for white, blue, red and gold, like sky lynx.
TheLastPrime2893
In that regard, a lot of people tend to break the rules (yours truly included). It may be the same mould, but that color scheme though. I hate myself for not saying no to this, but at the same time, I don't regret it. Not. one. bit. I don't have Nero Rex, so, this will be the next best thing and then some. Give me a Dark Longyan and I'm set..
I'd still go for red and black. Talk about one sick color scheme right there. Maybe with a bit of gold here and there and a smidge of silver somewhere in there..

I think someone mentioned white and red, recently. Not sure though.

Since we're on the topic of repaints, I always wonder what colour shattered glass Predaking would be.
Beastbot X
It's very nice, but I've learned my lesson personally with 3rd party repaints. If I have the mold already, it just isn't worth it to me to get a redeco at that price/complexity.
TheLastPrime2893
And so, it begins..

It’s not double dipping when it’s a different color scheme.
The Happenin Rhinoceros
I WILL NOT DOUBLE DIP
I WILL NOT DOUBLE DIP
I WILL NOT DOUBLE DIP
I WILL NOT DOUBLE DIP
I WILL NOT DOUBLE DIP
I WILL NOT DOUBLE DIP…
Dammit. I'm probably going to double dip. Sigh.

Preorder is up at Show-Z as well. 164.99 and showing a mid April release date. Hopefully that’s accurate.
Creegor
Wow, that’s much less than I thought!
TheLastPrime2893
I'm on it now!!
