The new one matches his mask and armor, although its shape still calls to mind the Predator’s basic tribal motif. Lost’s old loincloth was a short leather skirt with a tiny belt. It is fantastic, and the attachment is pretty seamless. The gun itself is on two ball joints, and can either aim in any direction, or fold back in for a convincing “rest” position. Notably, this is the first time that a Predator’s cannon has attached thee instead of on the left (Wolf doesn’t count, he was dual-wielding), and the rig is permanently affixed, not removable.

The upper body armor is built from Lost’s original, with one addition – he now has a plasma caster attached to his right shoulder. The new parts are his head, upper body armor (sort of), loincloth, and the new sheathe for his sword. Although the speculation is fun, it would have been nice to see a little more information.īattle Armor Lost shares a lot with his original counterpart, having been built from the basic City Hunter body. The bio on the back is the same generic description of the Predator 2 clan that all of the other figures got, even though this would have been a fantastic opportunity to explain a little more about his gear and purpose. And just as I have said on many occasions, it is worth four stars – but I have to take a tiny issue with one thing. So, let’s take a look!īattle Armor Lost’s packaging is the same as pretty much anybody’s in this line. Predator figures (scheduled for Series 13). They have also updated his loincloth and sword, given him a plasma caster (he used to lack one thanks to the Vindicator armor not having a cannon), and have included a nice little preview for the upcoming Alien Vs. Instead of following that lead, NECA has given him a brand-new technologically-styled mask fitting his armor style. When Hot Toys released a figure of this character, they gave hi a bio-mask reused from Guardian/Gort Predator.

But based on the available evidence now (read: his name), Lost’s gear is less for the hut and more for an actual, pitched battle. There are a few theories about Lost’s armor – some saying that he was injured and on a respirator, others claiming that it’s tracking/recording equipment. And for this, the folks at NECA chose to take Lost and update him to his logical extent. Predators Series 11 is a “Concept Wave,” like Series 10 (the Kenner wave), or the inclusion of Big Red in Series 7. That is because Stan Winston re-used the armor pieces from an obscure movie he worked on titled The Vindicator (or Robo-Man, or Frankenstein ’88).

Aside from his skin color, Lost stood out among the clan because of his armor – he had a unique technological/cyborg getup that was completely different from anything any other Predator has worn before or since. The original Lost Predator (aka “Borg”) was one of the random Preds seen at the end of Predator 2 – he’s the green one. We’re really down the rabbit hole with this one, folks.
