Good Smile Company has revealed the latest release in its line of chibi-style articulated Nendoroid figures: the Palico: Rathalos Armor Ver. from CAPCOM's hit action-hunting game series "Monster Hunter." Scheduled for release in June 2027, the figure will be available in both a standard edition and an accessory-packed DX edition.
A fan-favorite throughout the "Monster Hunter" series, the Palico belongs to a race of catlike Lynians that peacefully coexist with humans. Behind that adorable feline appearance are impressive athletic abilities and human-level intelligence. Every Palico has its own personality and unique talents, helping hunters in battle, gathering materials, and even carting them back to camp free of charge after they faint. The Palico's classic Siamese cat markings and its cries from the first through third generations of "Monster Hunter" were inspired by MIGYA (ミギャ), a Siamese cat owned by then-sound designer Momora.
The Nendoroid Palico: Rathalos Armor Ver. stands approximately 10cm tall and recreates the Palico's signature Siamese cat markings in an adorable chibi design. Paint applications and tampo printing bring out its patterned fur, whiskers, glossy blue eyes, and cute pink paw pads. Three face plates are included—a serious face, an excited face, and a closed-eyes smiling face—along with multiple arm and paw parts. Articulation at the base of all four limbs lets collectors pose the Palico sitting, dancing, and more.
The standard edition includes the Felyne Rathalos Mail, Felyne Rathalos Helm, and Felyne Rathalos Blade, allowing the Palico to gear up for a hunt alongside its master. The DX edition adds a barrel bomb, Palico cart, and health horn. Pair these accessories with figures such as the separately sold Nendoroid Hunter: Female Rathalos Armor Edition to recreate scenes of the Palico tossing bombs, playing its horn to restore health, or pushing a fallen hunter back to camp.
