The Samurai Predator has arrived – almost!
December 11th, 2011
Several months ago, I mentioned that Hot Toys had shown a prototype of the Samurai Predator at the Hong Kong toy show. It was an instant success with all sorts of (bad) photos showing up on every Predator-related web site. Well my friends, while we were all sitting around eating turkey (at least here is the US), Sideshow and Hot Toys launched this bad boy and it is awesome! Take a look-
Shipping in the spring of 2012, this figure is 14″ tall and comes with a boat-load of features including newly sculpted head with both open and closed mandibles, moveable jaw, interchangeable hands, four (4) swords attached to the back, helmet and samurai mouth mask and so much more. All of this mounted on a diorama base featuring a defeated Alien body and a broken sword piece.
This is the first entry in Hot Toys’ Artist Collection. It is a unique collaboration between two Japanese sculpting legends, Takayuki Takeya and Yuji Oniki. Don’t miss out on this one, it is already a classic, so go get it!
