Monster Hunter Pugi Collection G - Import Preorder

The Monster Hunter games are all about venturing out into the world and butchering helpless creatures big and small. When a bunch of docile vegetarian monsters are grazing on some leafy vegetables, a hero can charge in and wipe them all out with a few sword strokes and berserker-fueled rage. Y'know, get your KILL ON. Once decimated, the monsters can be carved into a bunch of tasty mutton chops. Nice.

Monster Hunter wasn't all about death however. In marked contrast against the main gist of the game, there's also camaraderie with pet pigs known as Pugi. Since the Pugi in Monster Hunter can be dressed up in various clothing styles, it's only natural that toys based on dressy Pugi be released in Japan.

NCS took delivery of the Pugi a couple of months ago but sold out to preorders. Manufacturer Chara Ani has started accepting reservations for another production of the Monster Hunter Pugi toys which are scheduled to ship in November. Six standard Pugi are featured in the set along with one secret Pugi figure and three dupes. Preorders ship in late Nov 2008.
