It blows my mind how anyone from any hobby would frown on these because they're essentially a well designed, pre-built, model kit (with articulation) that just needs to be tweaked with paints. Its one of the best deals I've ever seen! Note: If you don't want to do a wash, you can dry brush it and pull out the sculpt details as well. Both techniques work really good.

This is fun is why it’s cool. I have sideshow premium format stuff and other high end collections but doing things like this has been fun and a great distraction from all the negative in the world. I did the alien queen but instead of dye I used a special auto body primer for vinyl. Painted it flat black and did a silver wash. This video has inspired me to make over the giant predator this company put out. Great tutorial.

Lanard Alien/Predator line feels EXACTLY like the Kenner Alien line did when I was a kid, namely the Aqua Alien and its packaging. Durability A+, packaging A+,low price A+, Sculpt B+/A-, Articulation C/B, paint D. perfect for kids to start a collection, to army build, or just to test out customizing without going broke.

Great vid! Nice to see some love for these new Pred figures. Lanard figures have some great details. Not just these new lines, but all the way back to late 90's with their "t-crotch" figures. Tons of details that just need some paint. A little paint, some dry brushing and a wash, you can end up with some really great looking figures. I prefer to use oil based wood stain for my washes.

Great video for beginning modders. A quick easy way I've found to detail my figures is adding a "mud wash" using black oil paint, it's slow drying so I paint all the limbs then wipe down with a paper towel. I also use magic erasers to take off stubborn spots.

I just now started to get back into collecting toys. It started when I finally decided to set up a display area for all my original Kenner Star Wars figures. That led me down a rabbit hole of toy collecting. I also like the idea of customizing toys. I used to laugh at people that did this. Now I totally want to do this. Funny thing is these predator figures are now around $20 at Walmart. I’m still going to pick up a few and practice my wash skills, yours looks pretty. I’d rather spend $100 on four or five figures and customize them vs. spend $30-$40 per figure. Plus to be able to focus on something cool and a bit artistic like this would keep me off the comment sections on other sites. Thanks for this.

Great video my guy. I am a fan of the McFarlane line and I love to blackwash my figures. Cheap figures with a lot of detail rock. They are my favorite to collect because it's easy to customize them. Most expensive figures look "done" and sure that's fine. But customizing is way more personal and enjoyable imo. You should get into Gunpla and Plamo in general. The Japanese will turn literally anything into a model kit, from super Heroes to cars, to giant robots, and even Ramen Noodles.

Maybe the idea was to make it more kiddish or something not sure. But these toys are great for kids to play with instead of those really delicate figures like NECA, Hot toys, and Hiya toys well maybe Hiya toys are playable lol idk. But this is a great custom design for just collecting and making it look worth more money. I watched ur video with the Alien queen and drones it was pretty neato great work!
