When a crimson metallic sheen climbs onto the samurai’s shoulder armor, a Hannya mask hides everyone’s expression. VTOYS has dragged cyberpunk from neon-lit streets back to a rainy night in the Edo period—except this time, what reflects on the blade is LED light.
VTOYS’ Cyberpunk Series has released a new 1/12 scale action figure, “Samurai: Crimson Dawn.” The figure stands approximately 17 cm tall and blends traditional samurai armor structure with futuristic design language. Metallic crimson armor covers the shoulders, chest, forearms, and calves, with a pronounced pearlescent finish that gives it a quality close to automotive paint under light. The Hannya mask, as the facial centerpiece, dominates the visual focus with its striking design, featuring sharp horns and fanged contours. Interchangeable masks include a goggle version and a half-face version, allowing the figure to switch between a “ritual” presence and a “combat-ready” state.
The accessory lineup is where this figure truly demonstrates its “configuration logic.” In addition to 8 interchangeable hands and a full set of armor parts, the weapons include two katanas and one neon purple special edition blade, the latter featuring a distinct glow paint finish that creates a striking contrast against the crimson body. For connectors, a dual-blade connector and a naginata-style polearm connector allow collectors to combine the two swords into a double-bladed form or assemble a more imposing polearm. Also included is a movable eyeball adjustment tool for fine-tuning the direction of the gaze beneath the mask.
Release Information: The suggested retail price is approximately ￥16,720 (tax included), with an expected release in November 2026. The figure uses a mixed media construction of PVC, ABS, and fabric, with the cloth scarf and coat adding realistic textile texture to the design.
One notable detail is that VTOYS’ previous release in the same series, “Samurai: Taki,” was primarily black, blending cyberpunk elements with traditional Japanese aesthetics in a more restrained way. This time, “Crimson Dawn” takes a more direct path: covering the entire body in high-saturation metallic red, so that the intimidating presence of the Hannya mask is no longer diluted by black. This is not a figure that stands quietly in a display case—it demands to be the visual center.
