Tracker's (Casey Jones) Predator costume with a light-up photo-matched bio-mask from Nimrod Antal's Predators. Yautja Predators hunted the human warriors that had been brought to the planet. A scuff above the right eye and green markings on the right side of the mouth area match this bio-mask to publicity photos from the promotion of the film. The Predator film franchise has spanned over 35 years and has expanded to include novels, comics, video games, as well as numerous crossovers with the Alien franchise.
This costume features a body suit made of foam latex sculpted into a muscular, alien body. The headdress is foam latex and has an array of foam locs glued on the back; on top of the scalp is a large piece of fastening strip that is used to attach the bio-mask, which covers the hole made for the face. The bio-mask is crafted of rubber urethane lined with a layer of fibreglass cloth on the interior marked "Dog Handler"; it features two fibreglass horns painted to resemble animal bone, wrapped in leather, and attached to the bio-mask with metal rods, as well as wires that connect to the mask's illuminating laser-style target light.
The gloves are also made of foam latex with black resin nails marked "Dog," "R" and "L." The upper body armour consists of a rubber backplate and a leather waistband and collar marked "1" that wrap around the suit with straps and buckles. There are rubber bone pieces hanging off the armour with leather cord.
The plasmacaster is made of dense rubber marked "Dog Handler," and is not attached to the shoulder armour, but is included. The shoes are made of dense rubber, moulded over a pair of Aasics shoes (size U.S. 13) marked "DOG." Many of the components of this costume are marked either "Brian Steele" or "Carey Jones," both of whom portrayed the Tracker for different shots and scenes throughout the film. It exhibits missing locs, cracks in the foam latex, and a sticky residue on the gloves.
