Ceremonial Predator Mask Prop Replica
Sideshow brings you the Predators Collectible line featuring original Predator character designs by Steve Wang, award-winning creature designer and special effects make-up artist. Each piece is individually painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product. The Ceremonial Predator Mask Prop Replica is an incredible addition to any Predator legacy display, an outstanding addition to Sideshow's Predators collectible line.
The Ceremonial mask is worn by the elder Predators during the "rite of passage" ceremony of the young hunters. It is fashioned from the skin and bone of one of the fiercest creatures indigenous to the Predator's home world, the QUATZA-RIJ.
As a tradition, young hunters always hunt in groups of three. They are sent out in packs and must hunt and kill one Quatza-Rij as a team in order to be accepted as adult clan members and be recognized as a legitimate hunter. Only after years of hunting do the most skilled and experienced hunters try to kill a Quatza-Rij on their own. If successful, they can then break away from the pack and are allowed to travel off-world to hunt bigger game.
The Ceremonial mask has no laser sight, as it is not a hunting helmet. But it is decorated with three circles on the forehead that represent each of the three hunters. The symbol of unity and teamwork, the Yutja laser sight is modeled after this symbol.

I know, but dang it the words don't do the pictures justice! Based on what you told me, I'm stoked for the third Bio...

Actually - the idea has already been done by our good friend Tomek (Bender18 on DevArt):

Steve's concept's for predator all look like a guyver or a zoanoid face and nothing like predator IMO, but a lot of his own art work is in that same style. what's up with that $329 pricetag are people really paying that much for helmets now these days?

Can't say i'm its biggest fan (guess I'm too much of a purist) but nonetheless I do really dig the fact that Steve is thinking outside the box for this.

I can see your point, and it's MUCH like I feel about it, then again: different cultures, different looks...
Edit: seeing that people are ready to pay such amounts for fanmade/cast masks here, I don't have a problem at all with the fully finished bio.

to me it looks like a bone hunter or ghoul hunter version of a dead end big red bio
