Mermaniel recently posted pics of his custom figure of Dutch, Arnold's character from the all-time classic family film Predator. I loved it so much that I hired him to make me my own. Here it is. Is this thing sweet or what?
Mermaniel is a true master of his craft. Nice guy, too. Part breakdown: Head: Glassman Customs Arnold Head Torso: Marvel Universe Absorbing Man Legs: RoC Heavy Duty Hands: RoC Sgt. Stone Vest: RoC Sgt. Stone, 25th Snake Eyes Rifle: 25th Leatherneck Grenades: 25th Cobra Viper Mermaniel will soon be doing another Arnold custom for me- I'm going to have him make a Commando figure next! Can't wait.

I read the title as "Arnold Palmer" custom which would have been awesome. This is good too!

Extremely good. Marvel Universe was blessing to help make stuff like this happen. Love the face, too. Very nice.

Generally speaking i had very little interest in Marvel Universe initially. The later waves started to look good (starting with the Guardian / Captain Marvel body) but i still had no reason to buy them. Until i started reading some old comics from the 1990's and realized i wanted an action figure of the main character in the comic. That's when the beauty of MU was revealed. Multicolored hero bodies that have adequate musculature? Sold And yes...that Arnold is extremely accurate ! |

Here's a good compliment- I posted these pics on another message board I frequent, and one guy said what was especially impressive was that this was a 4-inch figure that he was easily able to recognize for what character it was before he even read my post.

I always thought Shadow Tracker had a Predator vibe about him. I think I can see these two facing off. But just before the battle, he's gonna tell his team mates: "Run! Get to the chopper! GO! GO ON!"
LOL. Preadator is a classic. Shane Black rules.
