AVP Predator Costume
My custom is a one of a kind latex costume of an AVP Predator from the popular movies Alien vs Predator.
Airbrush painting on the skin, fishing net used over skin, all armor made of fiberglass and wood. Left arm computer has LED blinking lights as does the disc blade frisbee weapon on right hip. Custom bio mask that fits over predator mask had 3 laser-like LED's. Some of the bones are real rat skulls and chicken bones. Gauntlet on right arm has animatronic blades that push plastic blades out almost 12 inches. Feet are also latex with 6 inch platforms. Backpack with fiberglass/wood cannon recreation. I also have a sound player with monster sounds battery powered hand controller. True to original movie costume!
Adds about 50 lbs to body weight, and has a small hole in mouth for a drinking straw :-) It takes about an hour to fully suit up, and I sweat about a bucket of water in an hour ;-)
