Resident Evil 4 is among the most prominent horror games ever to release, as it largely altered the landscape of the popular genre. The upcoming remake will try to capture the nostalgic allure of the original while reimagining it through a modern lens. In the meantime, the Resident Evil 4 remake is bringing a replica of Leon’s gun.

Capcom is reportedly teaming up with Tokyo Marui, a prominent airsoft gun manufacturer in Japan, to create a replica of Leon’s Gun that appears in Resident Evil 4. The handgun is easily recognized by the fans of the entry, as it is one of Leon’s iconic features in the original and the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake.

The Silver Ghost belonging to Leon S. Kennedy will be recreated in the form of a highly detailed airsoft gun called the SG-09 R. The new airsoft gun will mimic every nook and cranny of the in-game firearm to ensure players purchase the most authentic-looking toy. All the main characteristics of the gun will appear on the airsoft toy.

The SG-09 R airsoft toy will be available in Japan next month in late March 2023. Moreover, the high-quality replica will drain your pockets out of 32,800 Japanese Yen, which equates to nearly $243 USD. However, the price may be worth it to some as it comes with the same containers that Leon’s gun uses in Resident Evil 4.

The SG-09 R airsoft toy will come with a unique magazine, dubbed “Survive Magazine #18,” and it retains a similar color pattern and the Kendo logo on the right side of the airsoft toy. The Kendo logo is a reference to Robert Kendo, a Resident Evil character who is a gun manufacturer.

The users can utilize it in the impending Resident Evil 4 remake. Now the gun is available as a collector’s edition item for users seeking to grab an airsoft replica of Silver Ghost.

The upcoming Resident Evil 4 is on everyone’s radar that has played the original experience, and the story length will be the same. Despite all the lingering excitement, some players have shown concern regarding murky rain physics and visuals in newly revealed footage. Moreover, it also features treasures locked behind a paywall
