Came to the comments specifically to see if this bothered anyone else.

Desk Bird Get to the choppa
This bothered me a lot. Like tf? U should know how it is
Desk Bird you're correct you did put The blades on backwards
Dude, I was just watching with my kids and I'm obsessed. You did a fantastic job and I'm going to be working on a mask for my youngest. Keep up the awesome work.
Yo
When I turn 18 I’m gonna have a predator birthday
i fallowed this totorial to make my kid a predator costume for halloween 2022. It turned out great and he just wore it to the Edmonton comic expo and ended up being the thumbnail for the local news story about comic con
It’s so crazy how he was able to do a killer job with everyday materials. Of course it’s not screen accurate, but anybody seeing that at their local con is going to know that’s a Predator. Great job, stealing the dread idea for sure.
Made this costume for my 7yo son! He loves the original predator and this was his favorite DIY costume so far! Thank you so much for the video 🤘
That was pretty cool, especially for only $40! I might make the helmet just as a display piece. I would really like to see a Seventh Sister (from Star Wars Rebels) costume.
When cutting that type of Eva foam ( the "Knee pad" ) buy a sharpening stones so you don't dull your blades
+Sebastien Creates Good tip!
+CineFix Also a few ways to ensure the paint sticks to the foam you can seal it in a few ways: -2 coats of mod podge -Use a heat gun / torch to seal the pores of the foam -Plasti dip I use either the first or second because it's a cheap option both short and long term. I know plasti dip may be a little bit more expensive and sometimes you need to use more than one can.

can you make me a costume assassin

We made our own predator costume using these ideas and it came out awesome!!
Predator... protector? Im dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow! I've never seen this KZhead show before and I am genuinely amazed at just how good that costume turned out.
This is how many times he said” 99 cents store” 👇
drxdeadpool Gaming101 shut up like beggar.
How about good will
Get it to 99 lol
99 times, nice
Mai Zalokar I have 200 bucks.
This has got to be one of if not the best diy prop CineFix has made
I just tried the cardboard armor pieces and it looks amazing!
xenomorph AKA the alien it might be a lot of work but it's worth it especially since there making a new alien movie
logan ireland nah, I think a predalien!
There making a new PREMITHIES movie, not alien
Corbin Diller uhhh alien covenant is looking at us right now... that's the new movie of alien,alien covenant
Predator Fan it's more promithieus with the protomorph...but ok
logan ireland I'm planning to do alien vs predator I'm gonna use this 4 my costume and the alien costume is probably gonna be a black jumpsuit with plastic tubing
I just got done with the Predator costume and I'm giving it to my cousin I hope he likes it. and thank you for sharing I love how you made it you did so good
I love how they just look at a picture and then an item they’re holding and it turns into the picture
True
I miss this guys
The hardest thing about this is probably getting the materials
this is one of my favorite costumes This costume will be very cool if worn at a parade celebrating the cultural unity of indigenous and inter-religious communities in my country in Indonesia and I am sure this will be the most unique costume in history
Haven’t even finished. But already gotta say.. this is TALENT and PATIENCE
I put in about 60 hours doing cardboard work making this costume for my kid last year
Can you guys please bring this series back! I just seen this as I was looking how to make transformer costumes and you guys blew me away! I'd love to see more characters and props.
Wow i need one of these to wander around my city wearing
Then make it
Same i would do it
XD he put the blades on upside down
X_SOUL _NINJA I thought he did
He's the predator that goes on the special bus.
The preditor can flip his blades in the AVP movies
X_SOUL _NINJA true
Villiger number 9 indeed he does.
Who else watches these but never makes them 😂
Ezekiel Viray ME
Lol, not that easy, you have to have some artistic ability, I have none.
Ezekiel Viray i try
Me
not me im making this costume right now
I'll be running around with this on in the Apocalypse
This deserves more likes
Please do a xenomorph costume of a alien please I'm begging you!!!!!!!👽👽👽
@@glorifiedsouls1011 he doesn't make these videos
On an unrelated note, let's actually get this guy to 100,00 subs
That'll be epic! 😂
Foam blades. The sharpest and most durable material to make an effective weapon Well, then again, Foam is awesome
Love this series! Even though I don't make costumes or dress up or anything, these are so fun and interesting to watch!
Agreed
I made this for Halloween last year! Great tutorial! 👍
Hi ppredman I'm currently making my own pred armour and will be at the spray painting phase soon....did you wait for the paint to dry between sprays (Gray, sliver then back) or did you do it all in one go >. < I don't wanna mess this up
Predman could you give me some tips for making the dreadlocks please, thanks.
Super Crafty Gamer you could probably just use any rope and paint it or use black tape, Orr (if someone is willing) use a black wig and braid the hair.
Hi
Hey
I saw this and I will attempt to make similar for my son this year for halloween. He loves predator. Thank you so much for your awesome ideas!
Please be sure to update this comment after Halloween to let us all know how it went! :D
@@schmoobmcfroob2800 mission failed she never made the costume
@@Migueltvid nah she just forgot to comment
I notice a lot of people are saying the blades are backwards. They have been shown to look like how Ben made it, but most of the time they are the other way around. I also noticed a lot of the replies to these comments are “I bet you couldn’t do better”. That may be true but as I like to say, you don’t have to be a chef to say that a meal is bad. All criticism is valid as long as it is constructive and helpful to someone’s improvement. But Ben’s costume looks very cool and awesome so let’s all just appreciate all the work that went into this rad cosplay.
“I bought this predator wristbracer that make me invisible at the 99/C store”
there's no way it makes you invisible if it does no way
It does, predators use stealth, their greatest weapon
@La dubb R/whoosh
@@TheRealJetJaguar lol ikr
La Dubb you ever heard of a joke?
No one going to tell him the wristblades curve inwards not outwards? lol
Was about to comment on that as well!
I know right?
The predator is able to flip it like it did in the first AvP movie but yeah, you're right because this is the predator from the original movie.
They're removable so they must have been put on backwards by mistake before we shot. I realized this AFTER we shot, of course.
Who gives a shit, that helmet is awesome, so simple but cool.
Costume jim for Kostume Kult Arts Collective (NYC, Burning Man etc)... you guys rock!
Dudeeeee I miss this series sooooo much. Anyone remembers the other channel that was like this doing the same thing kind of with props around the same time?
You sir are an artist
For like costumes
im not gonna start with you just look at my reply to Jason Alcatrazes comment. you are a discrase to mankind.
Lucas Smith are you fucking serious
Karson Scates what the hell are you talking about that's a compliment idiot
son goku i see where you are getting that from, but i was talking to lucas smith not dangerdragon543 lmao
The blades are the wrong way Edit: for all the 10 year olds telling me to piss off, I’ve watched every single alien,predator, and AVP movie. So to the kids saying they are the right way y’all are fake fans and it shows.
WarriorZ ToyZ this should show if anyone is the fake fan it's you. No, the blades are not the wrong way. Scar was shown wearing his blades both facing in and facing out. They're switchable.
WHEYTHIN TheDragonMaster no he did it right bruh
Your life its the wrong way your brain its the wrong way
عمل صعب ولكن جيد
Your wrong his predator costumt is cool
Used to watch this on my 3ds, hope the series comes back
My 8 year old grandson watched this video like 100000000 times and had us help him make this for Halloween. He LOVES it so much!
Do a DIY xenomorph aka alien costume! It will be hard but I really wanna see how it turns out!.
You dik
Please do a xenomorph costume of a alien please I'm begging you!!!!!!!👽👽👽
Bruce Blackmon tw
YES PLEASE DO IT!!!
Bruce Blackmon that would be very difficult
YEA
I've done it
Thank you for the video. Regarding the shoulder pieces, you could have gotten the same effect or even more authentic looking, but it would have been a lot more sturdy and a lot more flexible with your movement by using a thick craft foam. Plus you may not even have had to use much paint on it. But your costume turned out AWESOME! And you would never guess what some of those materials started out as. Good job! I made a Red Pyramid (pyramid head) costume as well as a nurse costume from Silent Hill one year for Halloween. It took me 6 weeks working on it about 3-4 hours a day, but It was the most fun I ever had building that costumes.
Absolutely amazing
The blade of the gauntlet is upside down
*the irony*
Teach me!😂 I wanna learn how to build like this
I know
You just watched this
How are you this stupid YOU WATCHED THE FUCKING VIDEO
@@evontang5962 calm down
There is two people named similar hahaha
i loved these guys i wish they still did this, at least dustin does
This series really cool, I remember watching this when is was a kid...this feels very nostalgic
Absolutely rad man. Mind officially blown. You sir are one resourceful, gifted and creative individual. Kudos.
You guys should do a bobafett. Please. Keep up the great work and God bless
Why is it so satisfying to watch y’all make costumes?
SOOOO COOOOOL OF WORK YOU ALL DO!!! THANK YOU!!!😊
Nicely done, for 40 bucks it's totally awesome! True, the blades are un the wrong way, but well... those blades can be inverted as we have seen it in AvP, so it's just okay for me :D
Hi Benjamin! We are nearly complete making my son's pred costume for our "comic-con" but I'm having a hard time seeing exactly how you made the "predator protector" stay bent...tips? thank you, love this costume idea!
I love wacthing those BTS of the trailer thingys i know it might be too late but a predaotor 2019 movie trailer would be COOL with the ultimate predaotor
This video is the best! My kids and i love to make our Halloween costumes and my youngest wanted to be a predator this year. We also love to recycle and upcycle.
8:10 just the place I needed
Me too I don't have one
Im a huge Predator fan, so this came out decent. Just two problems, your too skinny, and the blades were upside down.
Yup it is
Don't forget in the first AVP he had the ability to turn the blade front and backwards with the push of a button. He used it to cut the tail of one of the alien
Tbh He is still skinny but predators are actually not that HUGE they're kinda lean but i think that adds to their aesthetic
SquirrelBuddhist yeah but he’s not the predator from AVP he’s the original which can’t do that. But you should do research before saying something
@@squirrelbuddhist1740 but he said it's the the predator for 1993
omg i remember i used to watch this all the time 😭😭
That's so perfect for the behind the scenes
U could probably also use cheap motorcycle armor jackets for the armor
Best constructed costume ever
Thanks so much for this video! The costume I made (100% thanks to your video) was a hit!
$35 to $40, and it looks totally badass... eat your heart out $99 dollar children costumes!
jason you are the worst thing on the goddamn planet if you think that costume was even tolerable! but let alone badass? yeah when hell freezes over. you know what when the yautja kind actually comes to earth irl, that's when its an okay costume, an OKAY costume.
Predator fanboy,just shut up and stop replying to other people with fanboy things
IKR! I would wear it around my neighborhood whenever i wan and scare little kids by just like waving at them
Diamond Warri0r8 omg me too
Jason Alcatraz and the good thing is that u can make this costume 4 anyone like a little kid or a 7 foot tall bodybuilder
Omg I wish I can get that and brilliant I was waiting my whole entire life for someone to make this
Amazing!! Props to you guys!
Yoooooo!! This was absolutely amazing!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Hands down the best diy video I've seen..thanks for sharing.
I'm making this costume for my son coming out pretty good thanks for sharing.
Me: Mom can we have predator Mom: We have predator at home Predator at home:
😂
Uh
Dude! You got mad skills!!
Thats just.. astounding
Man I miss these guys they were a big part of my childhood
Same, I was sad when there stopped posting these
I MISS THEM I EVEN STARED PROTESTING But soon I gave up😢😢🥺😭😭😭😭😭
yo same i used to watch when i got back from school 🥲
COOL
This is my first time watching the channel i doubted you at the start but…ITS AMAZING
I made 5 of these costumes. Thanks for the tutorial guys
You clever bastard that was awesome to watch, thank you so much for the video...
CineFix: Made a custom for one day Me: Take one month to finish because I'm struggling to glue the cardboard
Magnificent job! You are so talented!!
You could add padding in the suit, near the stomach to make abs, bicep to make it look more muscular, and maybe a little on the legs. Otherwise it looks good
The wrist blades are not glued on correctly
Guitar365 Helm yea their upside down
Im quite amazed of how this ended up !
This looks so real!
You know it's budget when they go to the 99 cent store instead of the dollar store to save 1 cent
Haha
Haha
Haaaaahaaa
u put the blades on the gauntlet upside-down
the black rock shooter u r seriously twisted bro
grimundead04 0.0 yup
That’s exactly what I said
best one so far
This is awesome!! But one thing I would've done differently would be to cut out some foam pieces to look like abs, muscles and biceps and glue them on the inside of the clothes so it looks like he has real muscles like predator does in the movie
You my friend are a creative genius.Thank you I was totally enthralled.
Who else watches these but never make them.
Me
Me. Cuz I’m broke & don’t have good enough workspace.
Pretty much everybody.
