DDP: Ok positives admittedly this guy looks great, posability is top notch and engineering is great!

However! The plastic is thin, holding it up the light u can see through it! The plastic on the shoulders ratchets is soft and after moving the shoulders u can see wear on them straight away, for a figure with amazing play this is a bit worry how much play it will take...

You don't need dicast to make a figure feel premium (Fanshobby do it) but this feels cheap.

He looks the part just the feel isn't right.

Grahf: Okay.

So they added a neck segment to the dragon neck. I did the same thing so that's good. The neck was just too short otherwise. But at least it's not as long as the original toy's neck as that was too long.

They added segments to the tail. I did that as well so that's good as well. Again, the tail was just too short. For both the neck and tail I took pieces off of a second figure I got for super cheap instead of buying one of the overpriced and bad upgrade kits for this. I got more useable pieces for cheaper and still have a complete figure left over to give to a kid or something.

They did something to have flip out side panels on the lower part of the dragon neck. That's good. However it's not great. For me, I think there should've been a whole new dragon chest with clavicles added on that covered the sides of the neck and made it all look better than just side flaps. They'd then fold into the chest as it sits on the robot back to keep out of sight.

Speaking of the dragon chest on the robot back. I wonder if they fixed the molding issue on that one hinge that prevents it from tabbing in and sitting flush on the back. It's just a little bit of plastic that needs to be shaved off though so it's not that big a deal though.

Colors look good. New hand looks good.

Wings look good too but I went crazy with that extra figure and took the larger segments from the spare figure and put them on the main figure so that my Megatron's wing segments are all the same length like the original toy. However, there's quite a bit of modding that needs to be done with that though. I don't think I'd even want to do that on this figure though.

The paint work is excellent. It looks like they handed this to Jiang Xing as it's looking like the original release of their Winged Dragon. Which I have so this will stand nicely next to that.

This might be a smidge too big for what it's supposed to be for but I don't mind so much since it is a dragon. It for sure needed to be bigger though. Commander at least but Hasbro and Takara did some great work for it being a leader though. I just hope they do Tigerhawk too. And maybe go back and do PotP Optimal Optimus without the monkey on his back...so to speak. And then of course do Cryotek, Razorclaw and Primal Prime too.

ssjgoku22: Nah, this isn't it. There are a few issues with this kit.

1. The included feet suck. They are significantly looser than the stock feet and it makes the figure difficult to stand
2. The axes and swords are fragile. I tried putting the axe in Prime's hand and the handle snapped in half. This is because the shape of the handle doesn't match the shape of Prime's fist and the plastic quality of the weapons is brittle.
3. The color matching for the red parts is off. The red on the DNA parts is very dull.

There is one pro and that's the blue pieces for the inner calves. Adding those to the calves clean up the legs nicely. The cannon looks decent, but is a bit bulky.

Honestly can't recommend this. The quality of the kit is nowhere near as good as what we're used to with previous DNA upgrade kits. If you really want this kit, wait for a sale. It is NOT worth the asking price.
