The prequel comic for Predator: Badlands features Dek leaping into action, but it appears this is the first time a Predator will wear... boots?

Re-watched the trailers, and he doesn't appear to be wearing any boots; not even the NECA figure has him with boots.

So he lost them before he travels to Kalisk... or this was some artistic freedom. Either way, a bit confusing... lol

My guess is, he either has them in the comic and losses them later on. Or its just a tiny mistake- artistic freedom made by the cover artist, not uncommon.

Kind of like the Mega Man 2 American cover featuring Mega Man holding a gun. The artist who painted it said while he was observing beta footage of the game, he asked folks what weapon mega man was holding, and someone said “probably a pistol” and so he drew a pistol instead of the iconic mega buster.

Happened to me also, back in 2023, when I was painting a cover for a short PS1-style VHS indie horror game, I was shown some screenshots of the killer, and I couldn’t tell what weapon the killer had because of the angles. So I asked the publisher what weapon is that, and was told “it’s a sickle, looks like a sickle” and so I drew a sickle. Later it turned out the weapon was a meat hook with d-style handle.
