![[Broken Tusk Predator] A custom figure of Yeyinde, alias Dachande (Different Knife) or Broken Tusk from Alien vs Predator: Prey (eg the original AVP novel/comic). I felt this guy deserves a figure and the storyline he was featured in should have been the real AVP movie rather than the two Hollywood went with.
I used an extra NECA Masked Jungle Hunter I picked up on sale for the base of the figure. The Xenomorph skull on his chest armor was made from a broken McFarlane Dog Alien and the Burner (the gun) came from the Kenner Renegade Predator. All the rest of his gear was sculpted from Apoxie. I kept the backpack because Dachande did have one in the comic adaption, but I removed the plasmacaster as he never used one. Painted using Citadel Paints. I plan to make an optional unmasked head for this figure once I pick up another NECA Unmasked Classic Predator or Jungle Hunter.](userimages/customs/45500/45373-1.jpg) Broken Tusk Predator Predatorby Drak CustomsA custom figure of Yeyinde, alias Dachande (Different Knife) or Broken Tusk from Alien vs Predator: Prey (eg the original AVP novel/comic).

This is my all-time favorite Predator and since there has never been a figure of him (the closest thing is Kenner's Cracked Tusk Predator which looks NOTHING like him) I figured I'd make my own. If you like AVP and you've never heard of this Predator, you should find the novel AVP: Prey or the original AVP comic (which is the comic adaption; it's easiest to get in the AVP Omnibus Volume 1 which also includes it's sequel AVP: War).
This figure was made from two Kenner Predators (both of which were broken). The head and mask came from the Renegade Predator and the body is from the Stalker Predator which bore a lot of similarities to the armor design Dachande wore in the comic adaption. There are some details that are off, but it's close enough for me. I used several different covers from the comics for reference while I painted him (because the covers were much more detailed than the artwork in the comic itself). The Stalker Pred's body was somewhat hard to pa](userimages/customs/45500/45016-1.jpg) Dachande (Broken Tusk) Alien vs Predatorby Drak CustomsAlso known as Broken Tusk.

![['Jhedin Thwei Nihkou'te Hunter' (One Blood Tusk)] This figure was my first actual cusomized figure. I am a big PREDATOR fan, and have always wanted to customize one of my figures. This figure actually had a broken arm so I used that for a chance to do a custom.
I simply boiled the figure to "pull him apart". Then I primered all the parts with spray primer, made the horns from sculpey and used dry wall screws to give the horns a "spiral" effect (which is hard to see in the pics). Took a guitar string I found laying on the ground and used it as a hose. Drilled, painted and assembled.](userimages/customs/31000/30856-1.jpg) 'Jhedin Thwei Nihkou'te Hunter' (One Blood Tusk) Predatorby DeDAgheNThis figure was my first actual cusomized figure.

Gortusk is a member of the Evil Horde, created by fanartist IceMan.
There is nearly nothing that remembers the original figure, just the left hand is the most visible part. 3 types of hair were applied, some sculpted pieces were glued after adding the hair. A very tricky job from all the points of view. I leave you with some WIP pics and the original fanart.](userimages/customs/28000/27735-1.jpg) Gortusk Marvel Legendsby argenta-2008This is my first custom that I have to "hair" more or less completely (previous I only glued a bit of hair or fur in a small amount).

![[Forest Tusken and His Companion Thornback, One the] In kotor revan and bastilia have visions of star maps located on korriban' manaan' kashyyke, yavin, and my favorite Tatooine. but in their vision tatooine is a forest like jungle planet? how can this be, in all the movies its sandy and dead. well bastilia and revan spoke about how tatooine might not have been so dead, before it might have been a lively planet. so I thought it would be nice to have a tusken custom from that era. using a near vintage tusken figure I lightly repainted and dressed with cloth. but I thought it was missing sometging so I repainted one of my older vesions of a dewback, and I glued some horns to it. you might think that the tusken looks weird because of the large sword like thing on its back or that it still has metal horns well I've got that covered, a few years ago I went through a tusken phase and read anything I could about tuskens.(DATABANK) tuskens are a indigenous species known only to the planet of tatooine only a few exceptions like a'shared hett have](userimages/customs/28000/27681-1.jpg) Forest Tusken and His Companion Thornback, One the Star Warsby sageorion417In kotor revan and bastilia have visions of star maps located on korriban' manaan' kashyyke, yavin, and my favorite Tatooine. but in their vision tato...5 comments | ![[The Dangerous Planet of Tatooine, the Tusken "] Okay, I've always loved tusken raiders.

![[Tusky (DC Super Friends)] I was so happy with my DC Super Friends Krypto that I decided to make another Super-pet: Tusky the Walrus!
He was actually more of an accident. I found myself in the baby/toddler toys section at Wal*Mart looking for the parts for another project. While I didn't find what I was looking for, I did stumble across a tub of adorable rubber bath toys. One of the animals inside was a little pink seal that I thought would work perfectly for a DCSF Tusky.
The only surface work on this one was the sculpting of the tusks. (because he wouldn't be Tusky without them) After that, it was just paint and a few coats of Testor's Dullcoat.
I'm really happy with this guy, and I can't wait to get started on some other DCSF projects. Now if Mattel would just release that Joker...](userimages/customs/23000/22963-1.jpg) Tusky (DC Super Friends) DC Super Friendsby evanjones1I was so happy with my DC Super Friends Krypto that I decided to make another Super-pet: Tusky the Walrus!

![[Tusk] The base was a Jumping Hulk from the "Hulk" movie. The head was from a Tech Beast from the X-men Classics 6" line. I extended the legs by cutting mid-thigh and spacing them. The shoulder chest pivot assemblies were removed and spaced wider. Pieces of foam sheets were glued onto the torso to build up the muscles ,the 'tusks' on his back came from a Spider-man Hybrid Figure. I essentially wanted a scaled up version of the Toy Biz 1993 figure, with more articulation. I decided to go with a shiny look to duplicate the original '93 Tusk. Its not as shiny in person , darn flash.](userimages/customs/10500/10270-1.jpg) Tusk | ![[Tusken Raider] My 24 inch scratch made tusken raider](userimages/customs/3500/3467-1.jpg) Tusken Raider |
