I love Monster Hunter. But a few things about it are causing me to not pull the trigger.....

A) the male, female and palico are wearing the same armor as the enemy. Them having a different set of armor would have been way cooler.

B) the size. Guess this a personal issue and wish for all of my statues to be roughly the same size. Normally only collect 1/4

C) the prize. I stated that the size was kinda small or not to scale to what I collect. But if this piece was bigger in scale the price would be higher. I would be more willi g to pay for a bigger scale. But I think 1/10 is a little small for the big price IMO

D) even if I would like to purchase this, it dropped around Christmas time. I'm sure this will cause a few people interested to not order because of the holidays. Did I read that right that the pre-orders will close on the Dec. 22? That's like 17 days. Yikes

The overall look of the piece looks awesome though

The price reflects the complexity and paintjob for the piece and also our costs. But we greatly reduced the price for the bundle which gives you massive discounts !

A) that was intentional. We wanted a theme for the diorama.

B) the full diorama is roughly the size of a 1/4 scale in terms of footprint

C) it's a complex piece with close 200 parts. So it's not a typical 1/10 scale price. Plus these are limited edition

D) limited time only.

Thanks for kind words and input!

Thank you Kinetiquette for clearing some concerns up. I wish to see the final pieces in collector's hand.

This will be an extremely hard statue to get a hold of later because of the availability. Hopefully you guys release more statues in the future

I see what you mean about the complexity. But the initial reaction, I can tell you, was horrifying to see that price given the 1/10 scale (and I assume it was the same for many others too).

Anyway, now that the initial shock is slowly wearing off, and I am starting to consider it once again, will this be available through Sideshow, or is it exclusive to the Kinetiquettes store?

Wow, really excited for this!

A couple questions:
- Does the bundle also individual stands for the figures if deciding to display them separately?

- Is there an expected ship date?

- Any future Monster Hunter stuff in works? I would definitely go for a Lagiacrus or Devil Jho

Yes. The bundle includes all the parts you'd get from buying individually.

Estimated ship date is Q4 2020

We already have something in the works. If Zinogre does well, we hope we can produce that as well
