Description

"Wolf Predator" creature costume on full body display from Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. (TCF, 2007) Original iconic trophy-hunting extraterrestrial full-size alien creature costume designed by Academy Award-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI). Nicknamed "Wolf" by the filmmakers after the character "Winston Wolfe" a mob "Cleaner" in Pulp Fiction. Constructed of expertly sculpted and cast foam latex appliances and body parts assembled on a spandex body suit with zippers and snaps allowing easy access for the creature actor. The head is the hero "open face" Predator mask (worn when the helmet is on) and is crafted of foam latex over a fiberglass structure with ornate decorated dreadlocks. A neckpiece is secured by velcro and snaps to the body suit neck. A pair of foam latex glove prosthetic hands and feet are affixed to the form. The entire suit and head are studio painted to exacting detail, and everything is screen worn with the possible exception of the helmet, which is completely finished, but without eye ports cut out, suggesting it was a "carry prop", costume accessory or set decoration, but not worn by the actor. This Wolf Predator also features screen worn armor including iconic backpack and plasma gun on shoulder. Left and right gauntlets, with the left hand gauntlet being a hero illuminating version (lights have been removed). The right hand gauntlet features traditional partially extended blades in battle mode. An ornate leather cod piece ties and snaps around the backside and attached to the belted cod piece is the plasma gun handle, which during the movie is taken and connected to the plasma backpack cannon to create a super weapon seen throughout climactic ending of the film. All of these pieces are professionally assembled on the creature actor's custom fiberglass body cast and posed in a traditional Predator battle stance. The complete display has been mounted on a custom base with castor wheels on the bottom for mobility. The Predator can be removed from the base via 4-allen bolts in the foot area. Exhibiting production wear and some deteriorating and exposed foam. In very good condition. Comes directly from Academy Award Winning effects company ADI's archives.
