Propstore: Scar Predator (Ian Whyte) Creature Costume, AVP: ALIEN VS. PREDATOR (2004)
The Scar Predator’s costume, from Paul W. S. Anderson’s epic AVP: Alien Vs. Predator, is one of the most exciting lots in the forthcoming auction. ADI (Amalgamated Dynamics Incorporated) created this imposing and elaborate costume that has hand-painted reptilian makings and includes many embellishments and accessories (including steel-finish armour, a faux-leather loincloth, a dagger, spear, shuriken and plasma cater weapon). The scowling face has holes for the performer’s eyes and Scar’s clan symbol seared into its forehead. This very special creature costume is presented on a custom-made mannequin display, and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from ADI’s founders. (Source: http://www.propstore.com/)

Propstore: This is a special effects Alien Warrior hero head mask from the 2004 sci-fi mashup Alien vs. Predator. This piece would have been worn by a performer in a full Alien suit to get the full range of motion, with puppeteers controlling the actual facial movements. This head was used in the film when a Predator shoots a net on an unsuspecting lunging Alien; the net is then shown digging into the Warrior’s head as it tries to free itself.

Propstore: The head mask is made of foam latex at the neck with plastic making up the elongated head. The very top section of the head is made of silicone, creating the effect of the net “digging in” to the Alien’s head as it struggles to escape. The bottom of the piece features a front zipper, making the piece easy to connect/disconnect to the Alien suit. Additionally, there are two small eyeholes in the front of the neck made of black mesh for the mask wearer to see out of. This head mask still has numerous cables attached from the production, running from the head to five puppeteer control levers mounted on a wooden base. Once the cables are outstretched, the levers, when manipulated, control the Alien’s upper lip as well as the inner and outer lower lip. (Source: http://www.propstore.com/)

Both the head mask as well as the control base feature some wear due to production use and storage; additionally, two of the five levers no longer function. Both the control base and head mask remain in overall good condition. (http://www.propstore.com/)

Alien vs Predator: Alien Warrior Insert Attack Head

leading from

1. Propstore: This is an Alien Warrior insert attack head created for the production of the 2004 sci-fi film Alien vs. Predator. The head was created for use in the film of close-up “attack” shots where an Alien Warrior extends its deadly silver tongue to kill its’ prey. The head is made of fiberglass, plastic, and foam and is the instantly recognizable elongated head design from the iconic film series.

2. Propstore: The outside shell of the black head is crafted from fiberglass with an opening at the rear of the static, open mouth as well as the front bottom of the rear section; there is also mounting hardware still present attached underneath the head along with writing from the production: “Head D”. Also, the back of the plastic dome covering was intentionally left off; this was all done to allow filmmakers to create the effect of the tongue shooting out of the mouth, as the piece would only have been shot from the front. The mouth also has silver pointed teeth and a foam latex covering which extends to the top of the head’s front. (Source: http://www.propstore.com/)

3. Propstore: The dome of the head is made of a smoky, clear plastic which allows the top of the head’s unique skeletal structure to be seen underneath. Additionally, the head still features two thin, plastic tubes running into the sides of the mouth and around the front which were used to pump liquid for the Alien’s drooling effect and painted black to blend in with the face. (Source: http://www.propstore.com/)

4. Propstore: The head measures approximately 11” x 6” x 34” (28cm x 15cm x 86cm) and has some wear due to heavy production use and storage: the plastic dome has become cracked in two places, as well as some foam cracking around the mouth. Though used in the production, this particular head can not be screen matched. Overall this Warrior head remains in fair condition.
