Predatorstuff reviews the Ancient Flashback Bio by Biohunter!
May 18th, 2007
It’s been awhile since we’ve had some new product to review, but today I’m back with a BEAUTY! Last week I received a box from mister postman, and a quick check shows it’s from Biohunter, and you know that when you get a box from him, it’s guaranteed to kick ass! After some battling with some tape, I’m presented with a beautifully packaged new sculpt from Bio himself, his all new Ancient Predator helmet. At this point, I needed to scoop my jaw from the floor…
As usual, Biohunter has outdone himself on this beautiful sculpt, bit in terms of accuracy and casting quality. If you’re not sure what bio helmet this is exactly, you might remember a scene in AvP where we’re shown a flashback scene when the Predators first appeared and you see that Pred standing on top of the temple pyramid looking over the people working below. This is a replica of that awesome bio he was wearing. This is a full scale resin helmet with a gorgeous mix of flat and hammered texture with very detailed accents for the laser shroud and air intake. The cast itself is very clean and thick, making this prop replica extremely durable and ready for either your display case or to be worn as part of a costume.
The best part about this Bio? You can own one of your very own! You can special order this item as a special order through Predatorstuff.com by contacting me or you can order it through the PStuff Shop once it’s up and running in about a week from now. At the time of writing this article, pricing is $275 for a raw cast or $375 for a fully painted version plus shipping from the USA direct to you. Lead time is about 2 – 3 weeks for painted helmets and 1 – 2 weeks for raw casts.

Hot Toys Elder and Chopper at Sideshow!
Before I go, I wanted to give a heads up to you Hot Toys AvP Pred nuts that if you’ve been missing out on these awesome pieces because of how hard it is to find stock, Sideshow still has stock on the Elder Predator and Chopper Predator from Hot Toys! These things have been selling like hot cakes and selling out everywhere, so if you need these in your set, you can grab them from Sideshow, who is officially distributing these for HT here in North America and in Europe.
That’s about it for me for today! Keep hunting your trophies and we’ll see you next post!
