Hot Toys proudly reintroduces a visionary classic with the Akaoni Samurai Predator Sixth Scale Collectible Figure, a striking collaboration between renowned artists Mr. Takayuki Takeya and Mr. Yuji Oniki. First appearing in 2011, the Samurai Predator marked Hot Toys’ debut artist project. Now, over a decade later, the 2024 edition returns with a bold new interpretation inspired by the concept of “Akazonae”—a storm of crimson honour and fury.
This reimagined Predator blends the brutal legacy of Alien vs. Predator with traditional Samurai aesthetics. Red dominates the armour, from the helmet and chest plate to the gauntlets and waist guards, creating a fierce Akazonae impression. The head sculpt features an articulated jaw and interchangeable mandibles, while the sculpted lamellar skirt adds authentic warrior flair. Weapons include an articulated shoulder cannon, a metal samurai sword, a corroded broken blade, a set of four sword accessories, and trophies such as Alien tongues and a severed Alien head.
Completing the display is a masterfully detailed diorama base featuring the fallen Alien corpse, telling the story of the Samurai Predator’s triumph. This sixth-scale figure is not just a collectible—it’s a cross-cultural art piece that honours both cinematic legacy and Japanese craftsmanship.
