Dillon Predator (Predator) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:97616
Name:Dillon Predator
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Predator
Creator:Shreddhead  
Date Added:September 6, 2018
Base Figure:Apollo Creed Rocky IV and Neca Dutch
Height:7.00 inches
Completion Time:10.00 hours
Articulation:10 points
Critiques:Requested!
So here’s my custom Dillon from Predator:
I used Neca Dutch for the legs, sawed the torso off of a Neca Apollo creed, dremeled a ball joint in the lower torso so it would fit the Dutch legs and still retain a hip swivel. Added jungle extraction Dutch hands (painted) and a Neca Rapist vest (trimmed and unpainted).
The head:
I made a resin cast of the Apollo Creed head and a resin cast of the Neca Ultimate Sarah Connor head with hat. I sawed and sanded both casts until they looked like they would fit realistically. I then used apoxie to seal them together and re-molded the hair (had to be sanded off for a natural fit).
I then made another resin cast of the newly formed head and dremeled and drilled a peg hole to fit on the Creed torso. I then painted and sealed with Testors.
I’m still contemplating painting the vest and legs, but this is my first true custom and not sure how to go about painting and sealing soft plastic and joints, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I still have the mold so I’ll probably make some casts once the weather gets a little nicer. No ventilation in the winter. I’ll keep you posted!

Great job! I too am into modelling all the members of the Predator team, and yes I think that you should paint the legs. Sorry but I don't understand... if you already had the head of Apollo Creed why did you make another one?

Insurance. I didn’t want to modify my Apollo head Incase I messed it up. If I dremeled too far, or sanded too much, I would have ruined the original head and would have had to buy a new one. By making a mold, I am able to make unlimited copies of the design to tinker with and modify to fit the hat just right. The only down side is that I have to completely paint the face again.

Nice job. The best way to deal with joints is to sand or cut away material from anything that touches. I use women's nail files and exacto knives with cut proof gloves. Almost lost a finger before gloves. After you paint joints you can seal them with superglue lightly and carefully. Move the joint back and forth until it dries to be sure it isn't sticking

Thank you! It’s my first try working with action figures, but I’m pretty experienced with the dremel. Only thing I wish I was better at was painting the eyes
