Sideshow release some interesting info regarding a Steve Wang designed concept Predator bio called "Stalker".
This is part of their upcoming line of Predator collectibles.
No word yet on what scale it will be.
Here's the blurb and pics...
As an award winning Special Makeup FX artist, creature designer, producer and director, Steve Wang has designed and built creatures for many of sci-fi’s notable films – Predator, Monster Squad, and Underworld, just to name a few of his heavy hitters. Recently, Sideshow was lucky enough to work with Steve to create some Predator collectibles based on a few of Steve’s original designs, starting with his Stalker character! Steve was kind enough to fill us in on the who’s and what’s of the Stalker, including his unique mask design:
“I was always intrigued with exploring the Predator mythology further than the films have attempted to date, and one of many concepts that has always fascinated me was the notion of ‘the hunter becomes the hunted.’ The concept of the ‘Stalker’ was born from this basic idea. Taking cues from films like The Most Dangerous Game where human hunters hunt another human hunter, I thought it would be interesting to apply that to the Predator world.
“My favorite weapon of the Predator is the blade because it’s a close-range combat weapon and requires real skills to take down your enemies. I love the image of a warrior holding his blade in front of his face as he approaches his prey for the kill, so it was with this image in mind that I decided to add blade-like structures on the faceplate of the helmet.”
To describe the character of this new Predator, Steve writes, “He’s a serial killer who only hunts other Predators. He’s known to stalk and terrorize his prey before the kill. He gets his thrills turning the hunter into the hunted. The blades that adorn his helmet represent his weapon of choice. He has a specially designed blue laser targeting scope that emits no heat traces and is invisible to other Predators’ heat vision making his location harder to detect by a Predator.”
Sounds like the Stalker Predator is one bad dude you won’t want to mess with! Keep a close eye out for more information in our weekly newsletter on the Stalker Predator Mask Prop Replica, coming soon…
