How to Assemble the Praetorian Bundle: A Step-by-Step Setup Walkthrough

Quick answer

Open the Praetorian Bundle on a clean, well-lit surface and keep every tray and bag until you have checked all four items: Praetorian Fury, Praetorian Pyre, Praetorian Wraith 2.0, and Weapons Kilo. Prep each figure with its stand and hands first, then pose and place them as a group. The whole process takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and you can save 10% compared with buying the pieces separately.

The Praetorian Bundle is one of the easiest ways to start a Praetorian shelf because it puts four items in one box at a discount. But a bundle is not a single figure, so the setup has a few more moving parts than a standard unboxing. This walkthrough covers the full process in order, from opening the box to the final display pose, with a checkpoint at each step so you do not lose a hand peg or a stand in the middle of the job.

You will need a clean table, good overhead light, a small tray or cup for loose parts, and a soft cloth for wiping fingerprints off dark plastic. If you are setting up on a shelf, clear the shelf first so you are not shuffling figures around mid-build. The bundle includes 4 Praetorian items: Praetorian Fury, Praetorian Pyre, Praetorian Wraith 2.0, and Weapons Kilo 1/12 scale action figures, plus multiple accessories, interchangeable hands, and display stands.

Step 1: Unbox and inventory the four items

Open the outer packaging and remove each tray slowly, rather than tipping the box upside down. The bundle contains four separate items, so lay them out in a row and match each figure to its accessories before you open any bag. This is the point where most collectors create problems for themselves: they open everything at once, then cannot tell which hand set belongs to which figure.

Use a small tray for loose hands, stands, and weapon pieces. The catalog notes that the bundle includes multiple accessories, interchangeable hands, and display stands, so a tray keeps small parts from rolling under furniture. If anything looks missing, stop here and check the tray and the bottom of the box before you start posing.

• Checkpoint: you should have four distinct items laid out before you open any accessory bag.
• Common mistake: cutting bags open with a blade and nicking a hand or accessory. Use scissors and cut away from the contents.

Step 2: Prep Praetorian Fury and Praetorian Pyre first

Start with the two single figures, because they are the simplest to set up and they give you a feel for how the joints move. Attach the display stand, then swap in the hand set you want for the pose. Do not force a hand peg if it feels tight; warm the socket slightly with your fingers and seat it with a gentle push rather than a twist.

Praetorian Pyre has a feature worth planning around: the figure and accessories glow in the dark. That affects where you place it later, so decide now whether Pyre goes at the front of the shelf or near a light source for charging. If you are not sure yet, leave Pyre on the stand unposed and come back to it after the group layout.

• Checkpoint: each figure should stand on its own display stand without leaning before you move on.
• Common mistake: over-posing a fresh figure and stressing a joint. Make small adjustments instead of one big bend.

Step 3: Set up Praetorian Wraith 2.0 and the Weapons Kilo pieces

Wraith 2.0 and the Weapons Kilo set are the parts of the bundle that need the most space, so give them the widest clear area on your table. Fit the stand first, then decide on the weapon loadout. Weapons Kilo is a 1/12 scale set, so the pieces are sized for these figures, but they still need a firm grip hand to hold a pose without drooping.

This is also the step where you should check the glow feature again. The catalog notes that some figures and accessories in the bundle glow in the dark, and Wraith 2.0 does not require points, which is one reason the bundle is a straightforward pickup. Keep the weapon pieces on the tray until you have chosen a pose, so you are not hunting for a small part later.

• Checkpoint: test the weapon in the grip hand before committing to a pose. If it slips, try a different interchangeable hand.
• Common mistake: leaving Weapons Kilo pieces loose on the table while you pose the figure. They are easy to knock off.

Step 4: Build the group display layout

Now that every figure is prepped, arrange the group before you lock in final poses. A simple approach is a shallow triangle: put the tallest or most heavily armed figure at the back, place the glow-in-the-dark figure where it catches light, and keep the smallest footprint at the front so nothing is blocked. Leave a finger-width gap between figures so you can adjust one without bumping the others.

If you are displaying on a shelf rather than a table, measure the depth first. The bundle items ship in compact boxes, but a posed figure with a weapon and a stand needs more room than the box suggests. Once the layout looks right from your normal viewing angle, tighten each stand and do a final fingerprint wipe on the dark plastic.

• Checkpoint: step back two paces and look at the shelf. If one figure disappears behind another, rotate the group slightly.
• Common mistake: crowding the figures so their accessories touch. Contact between painted parts is how scratches start.

Praetorian Bundle setup checklist

1. Inventory before opening bags: Lay out all four items and match accessories to figures before cutting any bag open. Checkpoint: four items accounted for, loose parts in a tray.
2. Prep the single figures first: Stand and hand-swap Praetorian Fury and Praetorian Pyre while the table is still clear. Checkpoint: both figures stand unassisted.
3. Fit Wraith 2.0 and Weapons Kilo: Choose the weapon loadout and confirm the grip hand holds it without slipping. Checkpoint: weapon stays in place when you lift the figure gently.
4. Place the glow figure with light in mind: Position Praetorian Pyre where it can charge and still be visible from your normal viewing angle. Checkpoint: glow feature is not hidden behind other figures.
5. Lock the group layout: Arrange the figures with small gaps, tighten stands, and wipe fingerprints from dark plastic. Checkpoint: no accessories touch each other.

Bundle contents and what they change about your setup

• Praetorian Bundle - Save 10%: Includes 4 Praetorian items: Praetorian Fury, Praetorian Pyre, Praetorian Wraith 2.0, and Weapons Kilo 1/12 scale action figures, plus multiple accessories, interchangeable hands, and display stands. You are setting up four items in one session, so inventory and a parts tray matter more than they would for a single figure.
• Praetorian Pyre: The figure and accessories glow in the dark. Place Pyre where it can charge under light and still be seen at night, rather than burying it behind taller figures.
• Praetorian Wraith 2.0 Mail Away - NO POINTS OPTION: This option does not require Action Points to be mailed in. If you want a second Wraith 2.0 for a different pose, you can add one without spending Action Points.
• Hand Pack Bravo: 18 total hand sets that fit all male Action Force figures, with two sets containing adult content. A useful add-on if you want more grip and pose options for the bundle figures than the included hands provide.

A clean Praetorian Bundle setup comes down to order: inventory first, prep each figure second, and arrange the group last. Take the extra ten minutes at the start, and you will avoid the two most common problems, mismatched hands and scratched paint. If you want to expand later, the Praetorian Wraith 2.0 Mail Away with the no-points option is the simplest next add.
