“Prepare yourself for a surprise return of a classic to your figure collection. Today, Hot Toys is proud to collaborate with the esteemed artists, Mr. Takayuki Takeya (竹谷隆之) and Mr. Yuji Oniki (鬼木祐二), once again on our 1/6th scale Samurai Predator Collectible Figure inspired by Alien vs. Predator.
“Mr. Takayuki Takeya (TAKEYA) and Mr. Yuji Oniki encapsulating their visions in the Samurai Predator has marked Hot Toys’ first artist collaboration projects.
As an icon of cross-cultural projects, the Samurai Predator first appears in the 2011. Over a decade later in 2024, Mr. Takeya incorporates the concept of "Akazonae" to the new 1/6th scale Akaoni Samurai Predator Collectible Figure, taking over your 1/6th scale collection with a violent storm of red.
This time, with a bold color change departing from the initial release, the 1/6th scale Akaoni Samurai Predator Collectible Figure is designed to present to fans an "Akazonae" impression with red dominating the main armor pieces including the helmet, shoulder and chest armors, arms and legs gauntlets and waist armors.
Re-imagining the Predator in Alien vs. Predator with a Samurai appearance, the warrior elements are well played out on details through the head with articulated jaw and interchangeable mandibles; sculpted lamellar skirt; weapons including articulated shoulder cannon, metal samurai sword, broken sword to recreate corroded look, set of four swords accessory, Alien tongues trophy and Alien head trophy.
The greatly detailed diorama base with Alien’s corpse finely completes the collectible by telling the story of Samurai Predator’s victory over Alien.
This Special Edition exclusively includes an additional samurai helmet that comes with a crest of a Japanese character “髑” (Doku), a decorative fitting mounted on the front of a samurai helmet.”
