Hot Toys is commemorating Resident Evil’s 20th anniversary this year with two new collectible action figures.
The toy manufacturer confirmed that fans of Capcom’s venerable horror franchise will be able to pick up Ada Wong and Leon S. Kennedy figures this year. Both characters are based on their Resident Evil 6 design and come equipped with various accessories.
“To further expand Hot Toys’ Video Game Masterpiece series and celebrate the Resident Evil 20th Anniversary, we are delighted to officially present the 1/6th scale collectible figure of the game’s popular female character – Ada Wong!
The highly-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Ada Wong in Resident Evil 6 featuring a newly developed head sculpt, finely tailored costume, a selection of weapons and accessories including a crossbow, shotgun, pistol, machine pistol, sniper rifle, grapple gun, and a cube phone!
The highly-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 6. It features a newly developed head sculpt, finely tailored costume, a wide range of weapons including a rocket launcher, sniper rifle, shotgun, pistol, and Leon’s unique weapon – the wing shooters!"
Capcom set to announce Resident Evil 7 this year
Capcom itself is marking the series’ 20th anniversary by releasing high-definition versions of Resident Evil 4 and 5, due out in fall and summer, respectively. It’s also bringing out the PlayStation 4 and PC spinoff shooter, Umbrella Corps, later this month.
However, rumors are circulating that the Japanese software giant is poised to announce Resident Evil 7 at E3 next week, fueled by news that it has two unannounced projects due by March 31, 2017.
It’s also planning a ‘full-scale assault’ for Resident Evil later in the year, suggesting it has a major title due for release.
Resident Evil remains Capcom’s biggest-selling franchise to date, having sold 61 million units as of 2015.
