wonko Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I've been a huge Predator fan since first seeing the film. I spent about 9 months building him, and regularly attend local conventions suited up. There is nothing like the feeling of walking through the doors and getting mobbed by people who want pics and hugs (for some reason he's a chick magnet). It's 100% latex head to toe, with no cooling or fans, so usually about 3-4 hours is all I'm good for (I'll lose on average 10 pounds in that time). It was a labor of love, and when not being worn he stands in the corner of out living room keeping an eye on things. Hope you all enjoy! Brian Edited February 11, 2015 by wonko 6 Quote

TK6287[TK] Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 WOW Fantastic job! That is the best one I've seen! Is there a way to work in some fans? Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I'd definitely want a picture. LoL I'd also DEFINITELY want fans. Quote
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Very cool (Althoguh its probably hotter than a stroll on Tattoiine ) Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Just epic! That third picture is stunning. If there's one thing that i will always have in mind is making me that same costume from this good old, amazing, everlasting Predator 1 . Quote
wonko Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 As much as I wish there was room for fans, it's a pretty tight fitting suit. The mask is foamed inside to fit my head, so there's not really any place there. I've seen guys put fans in the backpack and run tubes under the mask, but I'm not sure it would make enough of a difference to justify the extra complications. As hot and uncomfortable as it gets, it's worth it to experience the peoples reactions. Brian Quote
