The Cloaked Elder Predator is similar to the Cloaked Unmasked Predator. The armor on the Elder is different, and he has a chain around his neck with trophies from his kills. The shoulder mounted cannon and retractible blade are there, and the facial details are different to match the likeness of the character. Included is the pistol that the Predator gave to Danny’s Glover character at the end of Predator 2.
Isabelle is painted in brown hair, a red scarf, grey shirt, black belt, green pants and black shoes. The figure includes a holster for the pistol, and she also includes a machine gun.
The Predator Hound has the most unique design of the wave, and the figure is painted with green skin and yellow spikes. The facial details include shark teeth, small black eyes, and spikes sticking on on the sides and top of the head. The figure stands are four legs, and there isn’t a hole on the bottom of the feet for the acrylic figure stand, so it’s a mystery as to why he comes with one. The spikes also stick up through his back and point in several directions.
The Guardian Predator is covered in silver armor, and includes dark brown skin with a light blue chest, and the figure is masked. He includes a staff, and a retractible blade.
The Snake Predator has a snake on his right shoulder, and is painted in brown armor.

The chest is painted in yellow and light brown, as are the biceps and parts of the knees.
Scout Predator is painted in silver armor and dark brown shorts. The skin is painted in light brown, with parts of the chest are painted in a light tan. The figure is masked, and the details around the eyes are nicely done. He features a retractible blade.
Stalker Predator is painted in bronze armor and includes a light brown skin tone with a light tan deco not he chest, elbows, and parts of the knees. Some of the armor is reused from the Scout Predator, but the design is unique enough, which includes the mask, gauntlets, and right shoulder pad.
Overall, this is an excellent assortment and a great range of characters from different Predator films. There is surely something for every Predator fan in this wave.
