Classic Predator's (Derek Mears) screen-matched bio-mask and costume with a decapitated head from Nimrod Antal's Predators. In exchange for being returned to Earth, Royce (Adrien Brody) decided to free the Yautja Predator known as Classic Predator for his resemblance to the original creature designed by Stan Winston for John McTiernan's Predator, but the Classic Predator was ultimately decapitated by the Berserker Predator (Brian Steele). Production distressing to the Yautja bio-mask in this lot screen-matches it to the one Classic Predator picks up after Royce freed him.

Predators was lauded as a return to form for the beloved Predator franchise, winning two awards from the Taurus World Stunt Awards for "Best High Work" and "Best Specialty Stunt." Of particular acclaim were its Predator costumes designed by KNB EFX GROUP, Inc. to better accommodate the wearers than previous iterations while still paying homage to those from McTiernan's film.

This Predator costume features a urethane rubber bio-mask intentionally distressed by production to appear damaged, lined with fiberglass cloth on the interior, affixed with mesh over the eye holes, and inset with a green wire on the temple; a stack of black foam neck rings; a body suit made of foam latex sculpted into a muscular, alien body with hand-punched rubber bristles and nylon netting around the legs and sculpted greaves; foam latex hands with sculpted gloves; and a pair of dense foam feet, molded over a pair of Asics shoes (size U.S. 13) marked "J. Classic Predator" on the interior.

The accompanying head is made of foam latex and has an array of foam dreadlocks glued on the back, hand-punched rubber bristles, and plastic eyes and teeth. The bottom pincers can be moved up and down. The interior of the gloves are hand-marked "Classic Pred" in black.

Production intentionally distressed this costume to appear blackened and battle-damaged. The foam latex bodysuit exhibits dryness, flake and chipped paint, discoloration, and a buildup of grime, and will require significant labor to mount on a mannequin display. It remains fragile and should be handled with caution. Dimensions: (head) 20" x 20" x 20" (51 cm x 51 cm x 51)
