Hot Toys Predator Kitbash
Since I'm a big Predator fan, but really didn't care much for the last AVP except for some of the designs I decided I'd make my own Predator out of pieces of each of the existing AVP Preds, he's pretty much just a Chopper Predator with pieces of Elder and Celtic's helmet, I also opted to just give him one forearm sword as opposed to two and got rid of the boot knife, I just think it looks cooler, so here's my Pred...

Jin Roh Midori Repaint
Just a simple repaint, I got the German Gray version but wasn't really happy with the flat tone of the armor, so I just dry brushed dome Boltgun Metal over it and gave her a new weapon from a Cy Girls Ghost in The Shell figure, which also got the dry brush treatment...

If you did a Battle Beast figure like those, let me tell you...you would make some mulah!!!!

[Siccx Degree]

All three have received upgrades since they were last posted, the most intensive being Saizo, his whole outfit was basically redone, Karasu and Arashikage both received new bodies and some new gear as well...

Saizo




Saizo reborn, new gear, here's a breakdown...

Mask, Shinboi Shizoku top and bottom and chainmail undershirt: Ignite
Leather top and shin guards: Triad Toys
Scarf: Hot Toys
Waist Pouch: TAO
Caltrops (in pouch): Ignite
Shuriken (in pouch): TAO
Oversized Shuriken: Boford Blade of The Immortal
Kote armored sleeves: IronCrossHunter
Waraji sandals and ornament chain: TAO
Ninja-To: Boford Mononofu (Iga Ninja-To)
Sword Guard: Boford Mononofu (Dotanuki)
Head: DiD Date Masamune
Body: Barrack Sergeant
Hands: Soldier Story w/Barrack Sergeant wrist pegs

A few modifications have been done to all the pieces, Ignite's Shinboi Shizoku was washed slightly to fade it a bit and get rid of the sheen, the armored Kote sleeves from IronCrossHunter were originally brown, dyed them in a diluted black acrylic paint/ink mixture and the metal sections of the guards on his forearms and wrists were also redone and repainted with black and sprayed with Dullcote to dull it down and given a drybrush of Boltgun Metal to weather it.

The scarf came from the stuffing for a Hot Toys pouch or bag, or some such s**t, the head received a slight repaint to blacken the eyebrows and detail it a bit more, and I inserted Barrack Sergeant wrist pegs into the Soldier Story bendy hands because frankly Soldier Story can suck on my unit for their fragile ass plastics, all they do good is bendy hands and gear. Off topic, anyway, the Ninja-To also received a slight modification, the sling came from Ignite's Ninja-To and I gave it a sword guard from a different Mononofu sword, that's bout it, comments are always welcome...

Karasu



TAO's "Ninja Petite" was great for it's time, and in terms of outfits TAO still has one of the best, only thing is their bodies suck, so I swapped out the body for a BBI Perfect body, everything's stock except for the weapons, the sickle and sword are Anotsu Kagehisa's weapon's from the Blade of The Immortal weapon sets by Boford, and the Kusarigami came from Ignite, like I said it's all pretty much a straight forward bash, only paintwork that I really did here was to repaint the scabbard for the sword which was originally green, so here's a quick breakdown...

Body: BBI
Shinobi Shizoku, net undershirt and underpants: TAO
Mask: TAO
Hand Claws: TAO
Sword & sickle: Boford Blade of The Immortal
Kusarigami: Ignite

Arashikage


My first 1/6 figure, TAO's "Portrait of Power" camo Ninja, I always thought he looked cool, but his original body wasn't all that great, he had these real skinny girly arms that didn't fit a professional killer very well at all. So fast forward to many years later and he now has one of those nifty new MK1 bodies by A.C.E. and a Soldier Story headsculpt, he also now has a new sword, dagger and compound bow set as well. As far as modifications go, besides all of the above I had to give him a sageo since I took the original one for Saizo's sling, the sageo he has on his sword know came from a 21st Century's shoulder sling, just cut it to size and tied it around the scabbard and there you have it, breakdown is as follows...

Body: A.C.E.
Head: Soldier Story
Shinobi Shizoku, sterling silver face mask, Kusarigami, wrist and shin guards, netting undershirt, spandex underpants and hands:
Tabi boots, Ninja-To, and Tanto dagger: Ignite
Sageo: 21st Century Toys
Compound Bow, Arrows, and Quiver: Hot Toys

Quick note too, the name Arashikage translates into Storm Shadow! I always thought this guy had a Storm Shadow look to him, and one of Storm Shadow's signature weapons is indeed a compound bow, so I guess this would be my take on him...

Grendel Naberius
"Can't really hurt me when you're busy choking on your own fangs, so what you gonna do now? Gum me to death?

Vampires slaughtering his family like Catlle, blood painting the walls and intestines and bone littering the floor, closing in on him they moved in, fangs bared and hungry. Out of the corner of his eyes and from the shadows he saw it, the symbol of his salvation and his destiny, the Devil's Eyes. Rescued by a squad of Red Devil Grendel patrolling the area his life was forever altered, at the young age of five his old life died and his new one was about to begin. Years later that child became a cold and ruthless enforcer of the Khan's laws, trained within the Black Glove, he was one of the first and most lethal members, clad in heavy armor and armed to the teeth he enjoys every moment of his job, whenever a Vampire nest would show itself, Grendel Naberius is the first to volunteer for extermination. Rarely does anyone take such pleasure in their duty, but he has been noted to use the wholesale slaughtering of Vampires as "stress relief", normally quiet and solemn, but when placed in the middle of combat something else comes out, something extremely violent and uncontrollable...

grendel naberius looks awesome! i also noticed that he carries a familiar weapon i've seen many times being wielded by manji in blade of the immortal. the bladed weapon with the chain. karasu also has a weapon i've seen in blade of the immortal. the axe anotsu often fights with. did you make these weapons yourself, or did you get them from another toy? i only ask because if there are blade of the immortal figures that i don't own i may have to drown myself in a vat of pigeon blood and hobo spit.

The weapons are diecast, Boford released carded weapon sets in blind boxes, I bought a set off ebay a couple years ago for kitbashing, great items if you can get your hands on them, and I think there is a new Blade of The Immortal 1/6 figure from Enterbay...
