I used the NECA Alien vs. Predator Arcade 2019 Dutch body removing his right ‘bionic’ arm, and replacing with a Triple H wrestling figure arm. For the head I used the Jakks Pacific 2003 WWE/ECW Ruthless Aggression The Sandman figure. Interchangeable with the 2005 version. I thought both have an uncanny resemblance to Mark Rolston. Added a green military vest, and black vest as a chest plate, dog tags, and a headset. The black military cap was one of the most prolonging items as it feels like everything is made for either 1:6 or 1:12 scale, and NOTHING fits 1:10 or 7” customs. Unless stretched or sewn down. I ordered probably 10 different hats/caps and costs started to get out of control. I finally found a Sarah Connor head and read that it was “loose.” Well I was wrong the head and cap were not independent of each other, it was just that the head was “loose” from the body. Almost wanting to return the item and speaking with the seller I decided to cut Sarah Connor’s scalp away from the cap and at the time did not have my Dremel tool yet. I used a drill to hollow it out and hot water to fit it to Drake’s head. It worked! A little extra work, but I’m extremely happy I did not return the item. The head alone was not all that expensive but the whole Sarah Connor figure as most commonly found on eBay is not cheap and hikes up the cost. All in all I have just under $100 into the project and idk how many actual hours, more like months. It was nearly ready to post back in February, before I realized NECA was releasing a Kenner remake Drake. I would have loved to release my Drake at the same time. Hell, I would have loved to release mine on National Alien Day. But by the time I got all of the Diorama in (MrZombiesWorkshop on eBay) and made my finishing touches, here we are. I have posted the custom next to the official NECA Vasquez as that tells the better story.

Heads up this is my first submission, and I’m new to this world. I find the whole process extremely satisfying and that it eases me at home and my overall daily stress and anxiety. I have another ‘fallen Drake’ figure I’m currently working on as well as an Alien Resurrection Johner & Christie that I will also be posting very soon!

Thank you for checking out my custom!
