Capcom Has Achieved The Impossible And Made Arkveld Adorable Via Its New Range Of Monster Hunter Wilds Plushes

BBG News

Summary

  • Capcom has revealed plushes based on some of its new additions in Monster Hunter Wilds.
  • Arkveld, Doshaguma, and Rey Dau have been given chibi makeovers and joined the Monster Hunter plush collection.
  • Older monsters from the series have also been turned into plushes, expanding on the Squishmallow-style Fuwatama range.

It’s probably safe to assume Monster Hunter Wilds has been a monster hit for Capcom with almost 1.4 million people playing it on Steam within hours of its launch. If you’re a fan of the designs of some of the monsters millions of you have been hunting for the past few weeks, a few of them have already been turned into plushes, although their chibi designs look a little different than the ones in the game.

Capcom effectively counted down to the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds by releasing plush versions of its in-game creations throughout 2024. Now that Wilds is, well, in the wild, it hasn’t hung around when it comes to turning some of the newest monsters introduced to the series via the latest installment into soft toys to go along with the influx of plushes released throughout the last 12 months.

The first three Wilds monsters selected for plush duty are Doshaguma, Rey Dau, and of course, Arkveld, because it would be weird if the new monster that was chosen to be the Wilds’ cover star didn’t get a plush before some of the other newest monsters to the series. Like most other Monster Hunter plushes, the new soft toys are cuter, chibi-style takes on the intimidating beasts that call the Forbidden Lands home.

Monster Hunter Wilds Already Has Plushes Based On Some Of Its New Additions

This Version Of Arkveld Doesn’t Look Quite As Daunting

As a fan of Monster Hunter, it’s disappointing to find that the plush toys don’t resemble the creatures as they appear in the game, which I believe is somewhat unfair.

Even though all three of the debuting Wilds plushes are available to pre-order at sites like Hobby Genki and Meccha Japan, you’re going to have to wait quite a while to get your hands on them. It’s also not entirely clear when the plushes will ship with various dates circulating. It seems they will be released and sent to you at some point in October of this year should you pre-order them between now and then. The prices also vary but not much, each costing around $19.

Joining the Wilds plush trio and releasing around the same time is a Felyne plush. The design is based on the pendant you can hang on weapons or from your Sekret in Monster Hunter Wilds. Some pre-existing monsters have also been given new plush designs with Khezu, Tigrex, and Palico getting Squishmallow-style Fuwatama plushes.

If Wilds’ performance on PC is still leaving a bad enough taste in your mouth that you can’t bear the thought of giving Capcom more money via its new plushes, maybe give the performance guide players have put together a look. It might hold the key to fixing any issues you’re having.
