I found this while reading the One up blog. Capcom and vinyl toy artist Touma is teaming up to make these cool Monster Hunter 2nd G cat figures (I think the name is Airu?). From what I saw of the trailer, these characters can now assist you in combat when hunting for monsters and do other variation of things. The figures stand about 3.5 inches tall and are expected to come out sometime around May. You can also preorder them at Hobby Search, since these maybe hard to find.
