A display of a Wolf Predator (Ian Whyte) costume from The Brothers Strause's sci-fi action sequel Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. The hunter known as Wolf (Ian Whyte) traveled to Gunnison, Colorado to dispatch the murderous Predalien born at the conclusion of Paul W.S. Anderson's Alien vs. Predator.
This costume was created by Academy Award®-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI). It includes a highly detailed mottled green, yellow, and brown foam latex skin bodysuit with Wolf's personalized netting; a head cowl with black foam rubber dreadlocks; airbrushed silver-color foam rubber body armor over the left shoulder, breast, knees and calves; a beaded necklace with resin creature skulls; mounted back armor that conceals the mechanics for the animatronic shoulder cannons originally operated by cable and radio controls with wiring leading up to them; resin and foam rubber wrist gauntlets, the right one features two resin blades sticking out with a small metal rod adhered between them for stability and the left one features Yautja alphabetic characters that illuminate when an internal button is pressed; a brown leather loincloth with a foam rubber jawbone buckle and armor piece, hidden black plastic side buckles; a resin shuriken; and foam rubber feet. This costume has been purposely distressed by production. Following production, it was mounted onto a black fiberglass body cast of performer Ian Whyte that has been secured to a gray-painted wheeled wooden display base. The foam latex, rubber, and resin exhibits some scuffing and cracking from use and age, the left gauntlet has one empty light hole, the lower back has a hole where the Xenomorph tail was thrust through, and the current functionality of the shoulder cannons remains untested. Dimensions: (displayed) 53" x 55" x 90" (134.75 cm x 139.75 cm x 228.75 cm)
