Bandai Spirits announced that two Monster Hunter figures (one of Zinogre and one of Rathalos) will appear in Banpresto crane games. You’ll be able to play for them from March 25, 2025.
According to the official Banpresto website, the Zinogre and RathalosMonster Hunter figures will be around 17 centimeters tall. They’re part of the Enshrined Monsters series of figures, which focuses on presenting its muses in a cool, yet, cute, light. Though the figure is small, they still maintain their monster-like designs without being “chibified” and can still look intimidating.
The Zinogre looks like it’s about to jump into battle, while the Rathalos is spreading its wings. As a note for the Rathalos, while the promotional image has it spitting fire, the actual figure itself only has its mouth open. You’d have to DIY that part if you really want the full effect from the poster.
Both Zinogre and Rathalos are signature monsters that have appeared throughout the Monster Hunter series. They’re also in the newest entry of the franchise, Monster Hunter Wilds. Wilds came out in late February 2025 and is the successor to 2018’s World. It sold over 8 million copies in only three days and is now Capcom’s fastest-selling game.
Monster Hunter Wilds is readily available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
