I really hope they succeed where most fail and replicate his beautiful bio also...

Was that used in the actual movie?

Yes, that is the Hero mask used in the movie.

Awesome! Do you own it, or is it just a picture you found?

Haha... If I had three wishes, I'd waste one to own that thing It went missing after filming which is part of the reason we've never had a decent prop collectible made of it. It's always been a striking design to me, it looks like an angry metallic duck, and I love it. It is easily my favorite piece of Predator hardware. Here's to hoping Prime 1 manage to capture its shape properly.

P1 will get the shape right, as they reign surpreme when it comes to screen accuracy...

I really hope you're right.

As they have access to the coolprops assets I would think that the city hunter bio would be doable and an accurate reflection of the hero bio.

If you've seen P1's Transformer maquettes, Batman Arkham statues, etc, you know i'm right...

While this will hopefully be true in most cases, the hero P2 bio is not accessible to anybody, other than maybe the person who likely "borrowed" it after filming. That's me assuming things but it has been lost at any rate. The only surviving mask is the stunt mask which was used in the subway sequence as the P2 crawled across the train. It's nice, but it has major differences to the hero in both shape, size and colour. Here is mine from HCG who copied the original surviving prop...




And the real prop under yellowish light...
