For the 20th anniversary of the Monster Hunter series, Capcom will be collaborating with Bandai to release Digimon toys. Capcom is also working with Ducati on a Monster Hunter motorbike. [Thanks, PR Times, Hobby Watch!]
For starters, here is a trailer of the Monster Hunter and Digimon toy:
The Monster Hunter 20th Edition Digimon will let you raise Rathalos, Zinogre, Khezu, Rajang, Tigrex, Nargacuga, Gore Magala, Mizutsune, and more. In total, there will be 36 Monster Hunter creatures for you to raise in the Monster Hunter 20th Edition Digimon Color toys. Kenji Watanabe, the character designer of Digimon, also drew chimeras of Monster Hunter creatures and Digimon. This includes a mishmash of Rathalos and Greymon, as well as Zinogre and Garurumon.
You can pre-order the Digimon Color: Monster Hunter 20th Edition from Premium Bandai. It costs 7700 JPY ($53.15). Pre-orders are open until September 26 to October 28, 2024. As a note, you will need to be in Japan in order to even access P-Bandai. The toys will come out in February 2025. P-Bandai notes that since the toys are selling fast, there’s a chance that this batch of orders will close before the October 28, 2024 cut-off date. So if you want this toy, you might want to put in your order as soon as possible.
Another collaboration item for the Monster Hunter 20th anniversary is with Ducati. There will be a limited-edition Monster SP with a Fatalis design on it. Ducati will only sell twenty models of this bike, and those visiting the Makuhari Messe for TGS can also check it out at the Capcom Booth. Sales will run from October 5 to December 31, 2024. Each Fatalis Ducati bike will cost 2,622,000 JPY, which is $18,105.70.
The latest entry to the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Wilds, will come out on February 28, 2025 for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
