A Wolf (Ian Whyte) Predator costume display from The Brothers Strause's sci-fi action sequel Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. The hunter known as Wolf (Ian Whyte) crash-landed in Gunnison, Colorado to dispatch the murderous Predalien born at the conclusion of Paul W.S. Anderson's Alien vs. Predator.
This full-size display consists of costume pieces created by Academy Award-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI). It includes a mottled green, yellow and brown foam latex skin bodysuit with Wolf's personalised netting; a head cowl with black foam-rubber dreadlocks; airbrushed silver rubber body armour over the left shoulder, breast, knees and calves; a spiky black rubber wrap-around necklace; a brown leather bandolier; a pair of foam feet with snap-button ankle closures and silver resin toe-blades affixed; mounted back-armor and shoulder cannon, and a pair of dense rubber wrist gauntlets, one of which is made to look partially destroyed. A replica helmet cast from original moulds, and a replica waist-skirt with a production-made center component complete the piece for display.
This costume is purposely distressed with grime, and detailed with otherworldly Yautja designs first made famous in John McTiernan's Predator. It is mounted on a fibreglass mannequin with a sturdy metal armature and affixed to a wooden base for display purposes. It exhibits various cracks and wear to the foam rubber throughout. The lot is accompanied by a colour still autographed by Whyte. Dimensions (displayed): 91.5 cm x 84 cm x 249 cm (36" x 33" x 98")
