The Jungle Came To Life And Took Him

/

How do you fight an invisible threat? How does it feel to be hunted? Why does Arnold Schwarzenegger have such a desirable skull? All of these questions are posed in the 80's classic Predator. One of the weapons of the antagonist and film's namesake is a cloaking device that renders him nearly invisible by bending the light around him, wonderfully envisioned here by builder Grantmasters. A Predator Nerdly would also be a good Nerdvember entry, just sayin'.

And when I say "vs" it's not in the context of these two fighting, it's more of a "cute-off". Yes, two of the most feared adversaries seem to be in a battle to out ugly each other, but failing miserably because they're so darned adorable. I think if the crew of the Nostromo or Arnold had been up against these two the results might have been far more "squee". Nice build Mr. Brickman.

The Predator was not only a really fun, badass, creative and original story, it had one of the best creature designs ever. I mean for a "dude in a suit", it was absolutely awesome. Builder Takamichi Irie has combined high skill, creative parts use and a clear love of the character to build this guy at a scale I wouldn't have thought possible, at least with this amount of detail.

You want to hear my fan theory that the Predator is actually a Sith? Too bad because I don't have such a silly theory. I do have a strong admiration for this latest build by Grantmasters though. I've always been a big fan of this amazing character brought to life by the late, great Stan Winston and his crew. It's one of the things that sealed my ambition to work in creature effects.
