I think it's a white iris, that side of his face is all jacked up. If you look at the figure, that eye looks like it has a whitish eye, possibly a blind eye or something like that. I haven't seen a close up of the face, but I'm willing to bet that is the case...I don't think they'd screw his face up at this point.
He's an ugly ass *******, and to me I think that's part of the creature design's charm. I can't wait for Neca to release their stuff, for some KITS to come out!! S. HAYES!!! S. HAYES WHERE YOU AT!!! a;lkdjf;aldjkfl;a

I'd like to take this occasion to discuss some observations on the new predator:
1. Compared to the beige and browns we've seen previously, this pred's got a greenish hue, a la BDE. It's not bad, kinda like that.
2. Never been a big fan of the P2 style head, of which this is similar. My hang up over it is that there's so much detail added to the head, but yet the body remains relatively smooth "The Klingon Effect". My feeling is that if you're going to add detail to the head, you need to add it throughout the body.
3. Taking that into consideration, take a look at the predalien's mandibles and tusks. They are like the ones seen on Scar, which you would expect because he was the host. But, here's where the AVP2 folks have put themselves in a corner with the pred redesign. If Scar has only 4 tusks, and the predalien resultingly has only 4 (which makes sense), why does the Wolf pred have multiple tusks? Because the predalien is derived from a 4 tusk pred, and because it is carried over from the last film, you now create a paradox if you alter the new pred in the next film. There's a couple of things that could have been done here. You either leave the new pred with 4 tusks, or add multiple tusks to the predalien. Either way, both these characters need to have common physical features to ensure proper continuity. This is what happens when things get changed film to film.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it (In regards to point 3). He could just be another race/clan of the same species. The P2 has many body features that are different than the P1, yet they are both of the same species... I actually like how different clans and breeds of Preds carry different body types, and armor and weapon configurations. You could even go so far as saying different clans have different kinds of tech and skills or methodology. In fact, I like it better this way rather than have the same looking thing over and over.
And in regards to his eye, he's got one eye that's all ****** up from the same acid wound that has his face all scarred up.

Well, I personally like the new design, but I think it's dumb to not have netting on the legs, it just looks half-assed. As it is, I think there are additional Preds, he takes the extra gun from a fallen Pred, wonder what the design on those looks like. Originally I assumed it would be from one on the crashed ship, but that wouldn't make any sense for a couple of reasons, so I'm left to guess that he didn't travel alone. Curious about their design as well...
Anyway, I personally can't wait to see the hybrid get offed, just because he's the link to AVP, and well, that movie blew. Also, he seems like he's kind of an *******.

I can't say I entirely agree with you on point 3 Carlart (no offence) with regards to the lack of continuity with the mandibles and tusks. I'm going to side with Faken on that point. I mean take a look at our own spiecies on this insignificant blue planet and you will see any number of differences from race to race, be it eyes, shape and colour, Noses, lips, hair and of course skin tone. From Aboriginal to Caucasion we look a lot different but Human we are, there is very little continuity between the two races so why could this not apply to Predators? We have already seen differenciation in the lost hunters, so why is this change with Wolf any different?...........This is just my opinion, feel free to ignore it

I guess I'll be the first and maybe the only one to say this but I hate the look of both the hybrid and "wolf." The ideas are great but I have a great feeling they could have done A LOT better onn sculpting them, the whole acid scared, extra tusk idea is great, but when i look at the over head it kinda makes me want to puke. "Wolfs" body looks awesome a bunch of new stuff which is always great. As for the hybrid i dont even want to get started on how stupid that thing looks...

I will use both Faken's and your reply to bolster my argument. Your use of the human race to analogize the preds proves my point. Yes, there are differences in humans, skin tone among them. But you don't see an extra set of arms or an extra set of teeth. Sorry guys, I ain't buyin' it. I still stand by my point.

Yea but look at the differences in P1 and P2, no one said anything about that. So forgetting about humans altogether, the argument still applies with the Predator race. P1 was the original look we saw, P2 had some changes in 'facial' structure, and AVP, (which by the way never happened.) introduced extra teeth, and a whole 'lot of other ****...
...and when I say '****' in AVP's case, I mean ****. Like slick and brown, sometimes with green or yellow hues, **** can also apply to Paul Anderson's merit, skill and creativity, also FOX's decision making. Ok now I'm just ranting....

Well, P2 had extra teeth one the lower mandibles, The Elder has the bony protrusions on his head, AVP preds had 4 upper inner teeth as oppsosed to the two that P1 and P2 have so I say why not have multiple teeth? Yes the human species for the most part have the same parts but differences in the final look but this is another species that could have the ability to have a wider variety of looks. If you look into the Reptiles here on earth they have different morphs depending on where they come from. Most green iguanas don't have horns on their noses but I had one that did.
One other thing to think of is Wolf may have a genetic mutation that created the extra teeth, I've seen humans that have multiple sets of teeth.

Don't forget to take into consideration that he is supposed to be older. Perhaps at one point he resembled a P1, but as he aged he grew extra teeth or something. They're aliens after all, and their physiology and methods shouldn't be so easily explainable. The only thing that I don't like about his head is that there's no progression with his dredlocks. There's no small, medium to large. There's nothing up until 2/3 of his head, and they're all fully grown. But, it's just another interpretation of the species. And not gay like AVP.
