After the streaming hits Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers, sci-fi fans had a pretty good idea that director Dan Trachtenberg‘s first big-screen entry in the series, Predator: Badlands, would kick ass and innovate on the long-running franchise in creative ways. That’s definitely what happened, and now you can bring a smaller version of Badlands‘ dynamic duo—Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) and Thia (Elle Fanning)—to your shelf of collectibles.
The characters are unique by themselves, especially Dek, the first true Predator hero after a long line of Predator antagonists. But together, they’re a formidable team, if a little odd-looking, since Thia is a torn-in-half Weyland-Yutani synthetic who travels strapped to Dek like a backpack.
Hot Toys knows you’re hungering for Predator: Badlands goodies, and it delivers with this new figure. Or figures, rather, a distinction that’s reflected in the price tag. It’ll set you back a hefty $405 to pre-order this one, estimated to ship October 2026-March 2027 (details here).
The Dek and This Sixth Scale Collectible Figure Set has all the detail you’d expect. Dek comes with multiple mandibles and hairstyles, as well as all the armor and weapons (plasma sword, bow and arrow, shurikens, wristblades) he needs to undertake the hunt of his life.
Thia, meanwhile, has interchangeable eyeballs (in case you want that eerie Weyland-Yutani Corporation logo peeking out of her sockets), and, as the Hot Toys site explains, “Thia is crafted with a half-body design featuring exposed mechanical details and magnetic connectivity, allowing collectors to attach Thia seamlessly to Dek’s back with the branch-like strap accessory holding her in place—recreating their partnership as seen in the film.”
