>>6588584>Any reason why the Bad Blood Predator has a mask? I just read through the whole series and it never appears. I mean, it looks cool but I'm just wondering why.In the prologue Bad Blood wear his helmet in the ship on the way to Earth with the predators he killed.
>>6588602>Because they can. Same reason Borg Predator got a second release with full armor and a mask.That is just a "original concept" figure. in words of Jason Frailey:
"I was working in New Jersey at the time, and I had often talked with Kyle Windrix, who is [NECA’s] lead sculptor, about how much we’d like to make original designs. One of our ideas was to start making variations of figures that are very popular, such as Predators. At this time I wasn’t aware of, and I believe there weren’t any plans to make things like the Kenner Predator redesigns. I’m not sure, it’s possible this armored Borg Predator started the Kenner Predator idea, but I don’t know.
Anyway, after work hours one day, we went to the place we were staying (This would be me, Kyle, and my wife Adrienne who also sculpts) and I brought with me the Borg Predator figure because I just had this huge desire to put a mask on it. It seemed like the chest armor provided such a weird new style of potential technology if you gave him a plasma caster and mask in the same design.
Kyle completely encouraged me to do it, especially when he saw what I had made in a few hours that night. The thing is a rough sculpt is always easier than finishing it as a sharp symmetrical mechanical final piece, and the project really took me a lot longer than I think we all would have liked."
Actually, I like a lot the Battle Armor Borg and I want they remade it with the new body.
