Quick JP style figure

I loved that JP Joe figure that was on eBay. I got outbid, so when I saw the Cobra it was based off of in TRU for $5 I decided to make one for myself. Instead of the Resolute Duke head I went with an Arnold head I had. Also I changed up the weapon and added face paint instead of the tattoo.

Here he is . . .

Through the Predator's eyes . . .

Face off!

Sent the head to Tri-Gate Months ago, so it could be sold (didn't want anything for it either. Just didn't want to see the mold die).

Quick? I shudder to think how much awesomer he might've been had you taken your time.

He could have used some more sanding on the joints where I dremeled them against rubs. And this particular head could have used some sanding around the eyes.
Would have liked to have gotten some better shots too- with one of my custom Preds.
That said he is 100% play-ready.

That is awsome! I love the look of this custom. With the new Spirit coming out, you have the start of a great run of the humans from Predator.

I got Spirit off eBay a couple months ago. I should get some pics of the two of them together. Then I'd need to borrow one of Brian's Preds to complete the Dio shots. :-D

Yep will be up for order in this next preorder5.

Cool. I'll let people know when they ask.

well make no mistake, John has shared this one with the community. I used one Arnie head for my Terminator custom - have been thinking of one for Dutch here, and also possibly a Total Recall fig. I don't think Conan fits in my verse, so I'm holding off there for now.

As for this, if anything it makes me strike Dutch from my list - no sense making a 2nd rate copy for myself - lol. Nice job. Also, not what I was expecting based on your JP lead in. lol.

Honestly, I was just too lazy to type Jurassic Park on all the boards I post on. lol
