Scorpion Alien, AvP Arcade Mad Predator

[Jin Saotome]

Watch out it's a blast from the past, those different species of Aliens Kenner came up with are back! Here's a custom Scorpion Alien done in a Kenner-themed look using a NECA Prometheus pressure suit Engineer body with the head, lower arms, feet, shoulder/back tubes, spine, and tail of a NECA Xeno Warrior grafted on. The ridged head crest was created using Aves Apoxie Sculpt and additional sculpt was also added to blend the parts together. The Engineer's sculpt is so close to the Alien design it allows for a beefier, taller body style. Spikes were added to the body and since the Trilobite 2-pack Engineer body was used I turned the burns into battle-damage, homage to the 'exploding' feature the original Kenner toy had. The acid spurts were made from high-temp hot glue put through a low-temp glue gun and the figure was given the copper-gold highlights. Now this custom Scorpion Alien is ready to take on some Colonial Marines!

Ready for more Alien vs Predator Arcade action? Here's a custom Mad Predator figure ready to dish out some, uh, madness! In the game a Predator warrior was 'infected' with an Alien embryo and driven mad so he attacked your characters. Here I've recreated him using the standard beefed up Deluxe Impact Wrestling body jointed with parts from NECA's Predator figure line. The head came from a Shaman predator with with mouth parts and dreads modded, the rest from any of the Jungle Hunter Predator figures grafted on to the wrestling body. Also included is a masked head (tho never shown in the game) I wanted to give him something extra since he didn't use any weapons or special moves. Mad Predator was given a light blue/grey paint job just like the game sprite and is ready to take out anything in his path!
