Meh... in terms of purely looking like a Predator, Scar's head is closest.
That and the fact that I can't stand Wolf... :D






And think about it for a second, what if Predator 2 didn't come out until now? You guys would likely accuse the P2 of not looking like a true Predator. Don't deny it, you know it's true. ;)

Wolf does suck loads!
My problem aint so much it does not look like original as I dont mind the others inc Scar and Berserker. Its just Wolf is a bad design choice.
 
i did not like it at all when i saw that face in the theatre.
and i read somewhere that they want a 'handsome' predator.
the 'brad pitt' of predators, i believe they were aiming for.
Here the scan of the page(s) from the original ADI book :)

Fixed :1-1:

1. I can't deny something that isn't happened (and wouldn't)
2. I can't accuse something in lack of "looking like THE THING" if it was done by the same pps that maked THE THING back there.
 
I thought the Wolf Predator's face looked better than the ones from AVP, but that's just my personal opinion.
 
I can understand why people like Wolf (and hey, I used to own the 7" NECA figure and Kyle Windrix's sculpt made it look fantastic), but in general the design always struck me as over-indulgent.

This was originally the case with Berserker for me, but his mug actually suits the rest of his body, not to mention his brutal role in the film. Wolf, on the other hand, wasn't too far from your typical Predator, so every "just because" thing they added to him just stuck out like a sore thumb.

Call me crazy, but Scar doesn't look that bad there.
And yes, I'm aware RIDDICK is probably having a panic attack trying to restrain himself from spamming "CRAZY!" in response to this post.
 
I don't see how anyone could dislike Wolf's head design..it's awesome. No where near P2/P1 quality, but the head design is really badass.

When I first saw AvP in theaters, and Scar took his bio off, I thought "cheap P1 copy"..I still love the look though.

...I mean come on..that's just awesome.
 
Scar looks like garbage, even worse then Berserker, but both, maskless are by far the worst of any maskless design imo. It's amazing how different the amazing paint jobs on P1 and P2 were back then, and you compare them to now. Huge, dissapointing difference.
 
The design of the AVP predators face is just idiotic, they literally decided to give them a bigger forehead and bigger mandibles that opened wider that the original p1 and p2, I like the armor and mask design, also their weapons, but the face could have used some of that "less is more" philosophy , Wolf on the other hand looks more similar to p1 and p2 from head to toe, with just a hint of AVP, considering it was a sequel it seems like they really didn't like the AVP predators design at all.
 
I do like Wolf's design. It really shows he's been into some tight situations. Blinded on the same side that seems to have been affected by a xenomorphs acidic blood.

The crown around his head is awesome and his colors are similar to amphibious creatures we're familiar with. The extra fangs on his mandibles suggest that he is of a different breed of yautja.

His biomask is equally cool with teeth adorning the perimeter, almost like what a chieftain or tribal leader would do to his head gear, that is, use the parts of your prey/kill. Even though he's got a lot of high-tech gadgets, you still get a sense that he's very barbaric.

The symbols on the surface of his biomask are literally translated to:

"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."
 
You mean like the super Predators? P2 and various Lost clan members had extra mandible teeth..

Right, but notice they're not the same shape or in exactly the same location as those you mentioned.

Just like how dogs have different shaped ears, snout, tail.

The same can be said about people, but I don't want to hurt any feelings. :)

The people who dislike Wolf are the ones crying out for a 'real' Predator in a movie again, even though Wolf looks and acts the most Predator like of all Preds after P1 and P2.
 
Wolf predator being remade is probably my most anticipated figure this year.
 
Its a shame the original 2 versions of Wolf suffered from Anorexia because if they didnt i think it would of been the most sought after Pred above the original AVP's. Instead, its still affordable now and can be found for just over retail.

Stick it on the old P1 body and its not so bad, the parts are compatible. Though if they're going to remake it we could just wait for that.
