This game is pretty popular from what I hear and some of the monster designs are fantastic.

Stop teasing us with silhouettes like you're doing with Voltes, Bandai!

I'm gonna guess that's some variant of Rathalos armor, since Rathalos is one of Monster Hunter's more iconic monsters. You're saying this might not even be a robot? Mhmm... just speculating, since I can't even see the darn thing. Don't take my word for it.

Uhhhh, idk wtf to think about this. I was stoked about a Monster Hunter GOKIN but seeing that image is kinda underwhelming. I mean the Sentinel Monster Hunter 4 release is damn amazing and this kinda looks weird...
EDIT: This reminds me of the 4th season of Digimon where they get armors... thats why I can't take this seriously as a Monster Hunter fan (although I do like Digimon I'd say the two don't mix well...)

Uff, 2shiny4me.
Also, the fact that this is not a robot (right?) but just a mean guy in an armor, and the fact that it's only red and chrome, and... it does feel out of place, to me. Really out of place.
What do you guys think?

Hrm. Hmmmmm. I'm conflicted. I love Monster Hunter. I love gokins. But this design, while obviously taking design cues from Monster Hunter's Rathalos Armor set (especially from the waist up) is not an actual Rathalos Armor hunter as far as I'm aware (its feet are almost Five Star Stories-ish, with the ankle hooks). On top of that I've already got Sentinel's Rathalos armor figure. It pains me to have new MH Merchandise come out (especially from Bandai!) and realize that I have no interest in getting it

Really out of place. What do you guys think? It's definitely not a robot. Or if it is, Bandai is just doing weird made-up stuff and borrowing Monster Hunter likenesses and licensing.

Found the damn problem. KOTAKI!!!! WTF DID YOU DO!
I would love a Gokin Monster Hunter figure but not this... No wonder the silhouette styling seemed familiar... Too much mech influence in this figure. Sure pass for me.

Found the damn problem. KOTAKI!!!! WTF DID YOU DO! I just noticed that myself. As soon as I did I just shook my head. Some things just don't need to be Katoki'd. I'm going to stay far from this one.

HAHAHA never seen that picture but its damn accurate This ones definitely a bomb and I'm still annoyed with his Hi-Nu "Ver. Ka". Ver Ka my ass, its just the original linework. idc if hes the one who made it (not sure) but slapping on a Ver Ka for that is just lazy.

I don't hate it yet necessarily. Need to see a bit more of this under better lighting perhaps. There is a shiny-ness about this that is a bit off-putting.
I usually dig Katoki designs too. I wonder if his proportion stylings aren't illusory though; appearing to be all legs, no torso. I'll wait for some more pics before throwing the full force of my hate behind it. Ha!

Damn Katoki... The shields as big as a lancer and the sword is too long. At least try to stick with the original material please... Annoyed that one of the few MH toys gets ruined like this.

Interesting......... looks like Iron Kaiser in Saint Seya cosplay. I'd hang that on a Christmas tree with some M1 vinyl metallic-misted kaijus, like ornaments. lol Nice detail and sculpt. I don't know how fans would receive this, so let them be the judge. zozo-mag

I think the red-color paint is a bit disappointed. Compare with their show-room prototype, it looks rather plastic.

Hm. It is definitely a lot more "cherry" and less metallic. That's a bit disappointing but hopefully in hand it'll still look nice. I'm waiting on a shipping notice from Hobby Search for mine, still.
