If you’ve ever battled a towering Rathalos or carved resources from a downed Barroth, brace yourself—LEGO and Monster Hunter are colliding in a spectacular new set that merges brick-building magic with the heart-pounding thrill of Capcom’s legendary franchise. For fans of both worlds, this isn’t just a toy; it’s a meticulously crafted portal into the vibrant ecosystems of the New World.
Rumors had swirled for months, but the veil has finally lifted. Designed with the same obsessive detail that defines the games, this LEGO creation features iconic elements like a fearsome flagship monster (complete with articulated wings and fiery breath effects), a customizable hunter minifigure layered with weapon options, and a lush, brick-built environment straight out of the Ancient Forest. Imagine constructing your own miniature Wildspire Waste, then staging an epic showdown between hunter and beast—all from your living room floor.
The anticipation hit fever pitch when Gameblog broke the news, revealing exclusive insights into the set’s design philosophy. According to their report, LEGO designers collaborated closely with Capcom to ensure authenticity—down to the hunter’s Switch Axe transforming between modes and the monster’s scale textures mirroring its in-game counterpart.

What truly sets this apart? It’s not just about snapping bricks together. The set cleverly integrates Monster Hunter’s core loop: preparation, tracking, and combat. Builders can rearrange foliage to hide "tracking markers," position environmental traps like falling boulders, and even display the monster in mid-roar or mid-attack. And yes, that Palico companion? It’s here too—adorably rendered in LEGO form, ready to heal your hunter with a tiny First-Aid Med.
Social media’s already ablaze. Fans are hailing it as a love letter to the series, with nods to classic locales and monsters (keep an eye out for Easter eggs!). One Redditor joked, "My wallet’s about to cart three times," while others are speculating about future expansions—could Zinogre or Nergigante sets be next?
Priced for dedicated hunters and LEGO enthusiasts alike, this set promises hours of immersive building and display-worthy spectacle. It’s slated for a global release this July, just in time for summer questing. Whether you’re a veteran hunter or a brick-building novice, this fusion of creativity and nostalgia is poised to ignite imaginations. After all, who hasn’t dreamed of holding their greatest hunt—in plastic, brick by glorious brick?
Pre-orders expected to open mid-June. Sharpen your Great Swords and clear some shelf space.
