The highly anticipated collectibles from the latest installment in the *Predator* franchise are now available for pre-order. Hot Toys has unveiled a detailed figure set inspired by the film *Predator: Badlands*, directed by Dan Trachtenberg. This new release features the dynamic duo, Dek, played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, and Thia, portrayed by Elle Fanning.
Fans of the series have been excited about Trachtenberg’s innovative direction following the success of streaming hits like *Prey* and *Predator: Killer of Killers*. The *Badlands* film introduces a fresh take on the franchise, presenting Dek as a unique hero among a long line of antagonists. Thia adds an intriguing twist to the narrative; she is depicted as a torn-in-half synthetic character from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, who travels attached to Dek like a backpack.
Details of the Collectible Figure Set
The collectible set, which retails for $405, is designed with meticulous attention to detail. It is estimated to ship between October 2026 and March 2027. The set includes a Sixth Scale Collectible Figure of both characters, allowing fans to recreate their partnership as seen in the film.
Dek comes equipped with multiple mandibles and hairstyles, along with an array of weapons including a plasma sword, bow and arrow, shurikens, and wrist blades. These features reflect his role as a formidable hunter in the film.
Thia’s design is particularly noteworthy. She includes interchangeable eyeballs, allowing collectors to display different expressions. The Hot Toys website describes Thia’s half-body design, featuring visible mechanical details and magnetic connectivity. This allows collectors to attach her seamlessly to Dek’s back using a branch-like strap accessory, enhancing the authenticity of their partnership.
Collecting the Future of Predator
Hot Toys has received acclaim for its high-quality collectibles, and this release is expected to satisfy the growing demand among *Predator* enthusiasts. As fans eagerly await the film’s release, this figure set provides a unique opportunity to own a piece of the franchise’s evolving legacy.
With the combination of innovative character design and detailed craftsmanship, the *Predator: Badlands* figure set promises to be a standout addition to any collection. As the release date approaches, collectors will likely see increased interest in acquiring these figures, especially given the blend of creativity and nostalgia they represent.
