Quote:
Earlier today, a Predator-related announcement at Comic-Con was teased and it has now been revealed. Fox is working on a Predator 3D Blu-ray release and have something special planned for those attending the convention:

via Hero Complex: “To mark the 3-D Blu-ray release of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring “Predator,” Fox is dedicating a jungle-themed booth to the film and its iconic extra-terrestrial.

“Predator” fans will be able to purchase custom-designed mini-figurines featuring their likeness. Because what fan wouldn’t want to see his or her own decapitated head, spine still attached, being held up by a Predator?

The action figures will be created using photographs of participants (taken at the booth) and 3-D printing. The figurines will be mailed to buyers after the convention. Click through the gallery above for a sneak peek.

The booth will also feature a Comic-Con exclusive “Predator 3D” head as well as the opportunity to preorder the Blu-ray.”
Quote:
In a first-of-its-kind activation at Comic-Con, fans can enter booth #3528 and have their photo taken with state of the art cameras courtesy of 3D Systems. Their image will then be used to make them the victim as a customized figurine is created using 3D Systems 3D printing technology that features the Predator alien holding the fans’ severed head! The figurine is only available to fans that purchase the PREDATOR Blu-ray 3D, available exclusively for pre-order at Comic-Con and packaged in a limited edition Predator head for $129.99. Fans can also receive the figurine with the purchase of a “headless” Blu-ray 3D for $49.99. Additionally fans will get a first look at the all-new 3D transfer of the film before it arrives on Blu-ray 3D later this year as they enter the jungle that is ruled by the ultimate warrior that came from another planet. Attendees can also participate in the “Hunt the Predator” challenge. Fans who find the Predator, take a photo and upload it to their social networks with the official hashtag “#HUNTthePREDATOR” will be entered to receive a front of the line pass at the Predator 3D booth for an exclusive 3D printed figurine. The PREDATOR Blu-ray 3D will be shipped to all those that pre-order at Comic-Con when it is officially released in December. The custom figurine will be shipped following the convention.
Synopsis
Arnold Schwarzenegger wages an all-out war against an unstoppable enemy in this pulse-pounding action thriller — now in spectacular 3D for the first time ever! On a rescue mission deep within a Central American jungle, a team of U.S. commandos find themselves hunted by a terrifying creature more powerful and deadly than any on Earth...because the Predator is not of this Earth.

Does this mean a 2D re-master of Predator? I've been holding off on buying it until they do a decent transfer.

I think they will remaster it based on reports.

After getting the Alien quadrilogy (superior to the Predator series IMO) for around the same price a few years ago, it's hard for me to justify a 1 movie collector's edition for this price, as tempting as it may be.

Does anyone know if the Predator head is 1:1 like the I Robot head? That one was limited to 250 and is currently on ebay for $199. It was priced at $100 when it was released.

The one in the Youtube video is labeled 200 out of 250. Any idea what that might be worth today?

Just found #204 out of #250 head on ebay. No bids http://www.ebay.com/itm/I-ROBOT-2012...item3a83185901

They charge your card the full amount right away, but according to their customer service the pre-authorization falls off after a few days.

The UK version didn't get numbered, only the US did...I think? Also, the funny thing about these is that they were available for a long time on Foxconnect, so long that everyone was confused about the 250 piece limit. I ended up getting mine for free, the orders were given tracking numbers like 2 weeks before shipping and my credit card got stolen during that time and when I called to change the number I was told just to wait that they would contact me, well they never contacted me, they just shipped it anyway. I called and told them I never paid, the number they had was cancelled and the woman argued with me insisting I was charged..I finally gave up and got a freebie!

So there was a limited edition and a non limited run. Were they priced differently when first sold?

Another question about the disks. At 3:40 on the Youtube video of the I Robot Head posted above it shows the back of the box. There are 3 disks: Disk 1 BD3D+2DBD (Both 2D and 3D on the same disk, so 2D is just the left eye); Disk 2 DVD+Special Features; Disk 3 DVD Additional Special Features.

Does anyone have any information about a separate 2DBD included with the Predator 3D head collection? The OP implies that, but given that this Predator offering is created by the same Fox/JVC automated conversion process it does not seem likely. Any word out of the Fox booth at Comic Con regarding this question?

This states the Predator Head is half-scale rather than 1:1. Can anyone confirm that? "The 3D Blu-ray will be released in December and is available in two different levels of awesome; a deluxe half-scale Predator head with removable mask with the custom figure and 3D Blu-ray for $129.99 or for $49.99 you will receive the custom 3D sculpted figure and the 3D Blu-ray."
