A prop?

The entirety of LOTR?

Literally all of the prosthetics, weapons, armour, suits, etc. They made a driveable Warthog for Blomkamp's ditched Halo movie. There are ten foot tall hyper realistic sculptures of WWI vets in Wellington's museum that they painstakingly made.

... yeah, they've done some props!

LOL

I knew they did LOTR, I just didn't realise it was the whole shebang. I thought the only did the CGI. My bad!

Weta Digital is a separate branch. Weta does practical stuff.

WETA Digital's work is phenomenal too. Those Prawns are realistic as hell.

That hardly looks like predator. What in the name of yautja tit milk were they thinking?

Maybe during the shots the Emissaries looked better. I still think Scar is worse, face wise.

They wanted to show some diversification.

Wonder why they didn't consider to do the same for the masks. They simply gave the emissaries the same helmet the Fugitive had.

It was kind of the opposite AVP did, AVP made new masks but gave all predators pretty much the same body. The Predator: same mask, different coloring/faces and armor.

I assume so that we could have the "good vs bad" predator design. but even that goes out the window when you consider that the upgrade uses the same style of armor equipment that Fugitive does, save how his wrist mounted plasmacaster.

But also... HOW THE HELL does the Upgrade use thermal vision modes without a mask? Only logical thing I can figure: Black and Decker legitimately forgot/don't know that Predators use biomasks for vision modes or he wears an ocular implant. That's all I've got.
