Here's another Lanard Predator custom, this time done up as a Kenner Renegade Predator. The original clear figure was dissembled, primered with Adhesion Promoter, painted with Testors Acryl and Turbodork metallics for the purple armor. The figure was finally sealed using MrHobby Premium flat sealer. Original Kenner weapons were modded for this figure like the battle staff, now longer and able to separate into two sections. The gun had detailed added, grips enlarged, and both weapons were given the Turbodork metallic paintjob like Renegade's armor. Renegade's wrist blades can be made removable with a bit of effort that involved heating up the wrist and prying back the cover to reveal the shanks which need to be trimmed.

The new 7" Lanard Toys Predator figures are perfectly in scale with Marvel Legends, they just need a little paint and some tweaks! Here I took one of the clear Jungle Hunter Predators and created a box-art version. The figure breaks down easily by popping the pegs out and doesn't even need to be heated up for this, tho you will need to heat the ball joints. Hunter was primed with Duplicolor adhesion promoter, painted with acrylic paints, then sealed with Mr Hobby Premium sealer. I copied the colors and skin design from the box art while still maintaining the Kenner-esq feel to the figure. Elbow, knee, and ankle joints were also modified for more range of motion and the dreds split in two sections to allow the head to tilt towards the shoulder cannon. One custom harpoon-spear later and he was ready for his photoshoot! Want to own one of my customs like this one? Head on over to my *Ebay Auctions* this week to see what's available.
