Yee-haw! Time for a lil' old Monster Hunter plush round-up, so mosey on down. It's Christmas in very late July, according to Capcom, as they recently put these holiday-themed plushes of Poogie, Airou, and Meraru up for pre-order. The Poogie plush is reminiscent of a plush released last holiday season but a keen eye will notice that this year's version has a santa cap. So, uh, that's different. But, if you missed out on the little pig monster the first time, I highly recommend him. As for the two felynes, Airou and Meraru, come bearing gifts in their santa sack. Meraru even has a snowy white 'stache! Each of the three plushes measure 150 millimeters by 200 millimeters by 150 millimeters. You can pre-order them now for ¥1800 each and they will ship in mid-November.

The next plush items in the round-up aren't available for pre-order now and it's possible they never will be. They are plush handwarmers that are Capcom Amusement prizes, recently discussed on Dengeki Online. it looks like they function as both a napping pillow and a hand warmer, so you can get some shut-eye during your office break and rest those weary fingers. I think I could use one.
