Earlier this year, premium collectible company Hot Toys announced they’d be brining us merchandise from last year’s Predator film Prey. Now they’ve just updated us with new imagery of their impressive looking Feral Predator!
The incredibly detailed prototype figure can be seen in the gallery below.
As part of their social media posts, Hot Toys also included a description for the 1/6th scale Feral Predator:
“There was a bear, but there was something else, and it was huge.” – Naru
Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, the sci-fi movie Prey follows Naru, a fierce and skilled young warrior who has been raised in the shadow of the most legendary hunters on the Great Plains. The prey she stalks turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.
Inspired by the movie Prey, Hot Toys proudly presents the latest 1/6th Feral Predator collectible figure. The ruthless predator is now here to stalk your display!
Exquisitely crafted based on Feral Predator’s appearance in Prey with phenomenal paintworks, the one-sixth scaled figure features a newly developed head sculpt with highly detailed rubber hair, interchangeable mandibles with fangs, sculpted lamellar skirt and ankle wraps. A variety of hunting weapons such as shield, blades, whip, batons in different modes, spear gun and spear, and accessories including an LED lighted Predator mask, capsule backpack, bones and a newly designed diorama base inspired by Naru’s campsite for extensive display.
This is a must-have figure for Predator fans!
We don’t have a pre-order date yet for the figure, so we’ll update you once that info drops.

The aliens warrior was visually quite ok. but the movement was crap and too inflexible.
In addition, many body parts fall off too quickly and do not hold properly
I also want to be able to position the figure so that it looks cool and not like a stiff robot.
I know Big Chap is often depicted in a more human pose, but movable alien figures should also offer the possibility of enough mobility
But their Aliens Warrior was pretty good.
I meant useful in the sense of "I would put it in the display case"
I collect the figures to display and
don't play with them.
That's right, the sculpting of the alien figures is usually the big problem and they often don't look good.
In contrast to the Predator, the aliens were often only seen in the shadows or dim light.
It didn't matter whether the alien actor wore sneakers during filming
hot toys never got the proportions or the look right.
Predator does, they all look pretty good (Feral doesn't look good either way, so it's not Hot Toys' fault)
The prime one aliens are awesome but unfortunately I can't afford them...
I'm not sure technical limitations affected the Hot Toys Aliens that much. Most issues were with the sculpt.
certainly, but it always depends on what you want to do with it and whether you prefer the characters to be accurate from a film or with a "fantasy" design.
There are very cool modified alien and predator figures and statues that don't appear in any of the films, but I generally don't buy them.
Especially in the Predator area there are some designs from fans that look even better than those in the last films. but no matter whether from fans, in comics or in games,
Personally, I always prefer film design.
(neca did that much better) except HT Ripley was great.
Times have changed and the technical possibilities have also become much better.
It would be nice if Hot Toys would release more alien things with today's technology, especially the human characters would be interesting.
But for some time now the merchandise in the Predator sector has been going much better than in Alien. Even Neca doesn't come out with anything useful from Alien anymore, instead they waste their time making xenomorph variations of a dull shooting game like Fireteam Elite.
Hot Toys seems to adjust Alien designs for the worse but they always seem to make some neat adjustments to Predators.
Just thinking the same thing actually, it is just overall better proportioned.
Not the first time.

Prime 1 did the same thing with Fugitive:

Just wished they looked like this in the actual films!
