Zoids x Monster Hunter Wild Liger Zinogre

Monster Hunter is back with another collaboration project with Takara Tomy. Following the Rathalos-themed Optimus Prime from the Transformers lineup, the latest crossover brings the franchise into the world of Zoids. This time, the recipient is none other than Zinogre, the fan-favorite thunder wolf wyvern, reimagined using the iconic Wild Liger body frame. Scheduled for release in February 2027, the Zoids Wild Liger Zinogre will be sold for for 7,000 yen.

Wild Liger Zinogre offers exactly what one would expect from a pre-assembled Zoids release: a mechanical interpretation of one of Monster Hunter’s most recognizable monsters. To help justify its price point, the model includes pilot-related gimmicks as well as LED lighting effects. The design itself appears to be a faithful fusion of Zinogre’s signature silhouette with the mechanical aesthetics of the Zoids franchise.

The recent surge of Monster Hunter crossover merchandise is interesting to observe. My impression is that Capcom recognizes the franchise is no longer enjoying the explosive momentum it had at its peak. While Monster Hunter remains a successful and highly recognizable series, it does not seem to command the same level of excitement and cultural presence that it once did. Expanding into collaborations and collector-oriented merchandise may be one way to maintain visibility and engagement beyond the games themselves.

As someone who once followed Monster Hunter passionately for a decade, I feel the series has gradually drifted away from many of the qualities that originally made it special. The modern entries have found a much larger audience, but they often pursue a different design philosophy from the one that drew me into the franchise in the first place. Unless Capcom ever decides to revisit that era through something like a proper remake of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, I will probably remain on the sidelines as a player while continuing to watch the series from afar.

3DS XL Monster Hunter Generations PAL Review

 

Today’s post isn’t exactly a proper review — it’s more of a nostalgic reflection. But considering how long this little gaming device of mine has lasted — even surviving a recent flood — I figured it deserves a dedicated entry.

Back in 2016, I took a trip to Sydney and picked up a Monster Hunter Generations Edition Nintendo 3DS XL, along with a copy of Monster Hunter Generations. Long story short, this 3DS XL has stuck with me ever since, faithfully enduring years of use. It’s still in relatively great condition, which really speaks to the build quality of Nintendo’s hardware.
 

Eventually, I did sell my original copy of MH Generations and later upgraded to Generations Ultimate. But the MH Generations 3DS XL itself? It's been with me through thick and thin.

Interestingly, the NTSC version of this limited edition comes in blue, while the PAL version is red. Personally, I think the PAL version won out this time, the red design feels more in line with the bold, hunting aesthetic of the Monster Hunter series. This limited edition model could probably fetch a decent price nowadays, but after surviving the recent flooding disaster, I think it’s earned the right to stay with me — at least until it finally gives out.

I have many fond memories with this 3DS. I’ve clocked in thousands of hours on it across various titles. While I wasn’t thrilled about Nintendo pulling Monster Hunter away from the PlayStation Vita back then (though, let’s be honest, that was mostly Sony’s fault), I’ve since moved on from the series itself.

Still, this 3DS means more to me than just gaming. It was my companion through early adulthood, and its survival is a reminder of those formative years and precious memento for me.

May 2025 Loot

 
 Another Full post for this month and time to wrap up with Loot post! I never thought the recent record for my monthly haul upper limit could be broken within short period of time, but this one gotta be taking the new record. Whether it is good or bad luck, over past three months my quality of hauls had significantly higher than usual as most of my big ticket Preorders arrived during this period which obviously also hurt my wallet in the process.

Overall this month's haul is a very solid Mecha collections as good stuffs congregate in this batch spread all over price range. In this month I got most of my 30 Minutes Fantasy Job class which are pretty good stuffs. I also got myself some Blokees Defenders full box which might be handful in anticipation for Blokees Devastator which I might prepared some dedicated article down the road. The main star of the show is obviously on the right column with some heavy weights as The Gattai Fighbird and Archecore Knight Killian made it which are some top tier Mecha stuffs that I won't imagine able to obtain during my College years.

The star of the show is obviously Amakuni King J-Der which are quite heavy despite it is not exactly that big compared to Soul of Chogokin Gaogaigar. This one is easily my second most expensive collectible I obtained as collector after Riobot SRX and hopefully I got the time to unbox this behemoth in near future, more likely once I managed to move to a bigger apartment.

January 2025 Loot

 
 This month's hauls should have been posted Earlier this month but due to unforeseen circumstances, I ca only share it by this time. Overall a very solid haul which are dominated by Chinese Hobby Collectibles just like many previous batch. The most expensive of the hauls are no doubt the Gattai Seven Changer but the Chinese can deliver top tier product for 1/2 to 1/3rd of this Guy's value ranging from Chinese Gundams Metal Build, Joytoy Primarch to Cangtoys Loong. I would definitely love to crack open Jingwei or Tianfa in near future should I have time but Loong also got a good shot to be the first pick since I would like to see how it size up with Figma Chen. I would also love to crack open Joytoy Magnus the Red and have him doing some wrestling match with Leman Russ to settle their Grudges. In any case it is a solid batch of hayls again which align with this Blog's main interests.

Monster Hunter SHM Enraged Furious Rajang

Tamashii Nation are back with something special for Monster Hunter yet again! After Tigrex, they are back with something from 2nd Gen and it is the popular Fanged Beast Monster, Rajang in his Super Saiyan Glory! Scheduled for January 2024, SHM Rajang will be sold for 15000 Yen.

 Given the messy economic situation of Japan, by this time I won't be surprised that the Monster Hunter creature with the size of Rajang cost as much as Tigrex and I expect the accessories will be bare minimum too. Even so at very least we will get this particular rendition of Rajang in his Enraged Super Saiyan glory and perhaps we will even be getting the King Crown size version. 

 Rajang has always been a special monster in MH series since MHF2 despite its small size because it is one of the most ferocious creature that will give any Wyverns and even Elder dragons a run for their money as it is capable and willing to deliver plenty of pains in any exchanges. In most G versions MH Game, once you reach the equivalent rank of G-rank you will also get to fight Furious Rajang who is in its Perma Rage state that comes with SSJ2! Just like many hunters, I got myself into an Eye opening experience with Rajang in the Final Invitation quest which was the last Village Quest in MHF2 which you get to fight Two Rajangs in an Arena. Obviously I got OHKO'd in my low rank gear against this Super Saiyan Monkey during my first encounter which will always be part of my MH memory.

Monster Hunter SHM might be going at snail pace at the moment given the state of Monster Hunter IP which is currently in stagnation process. But I am quite sure Deviljho will be following up to join soon due to its popularity and rival status with Rajang which hopefully will not exceed 25000 Yen.

Monster Hunter Portable 3 Damtoys 1/6 Yukumo Hunter

 Another pleasant surprise for Monster Hunter fans though this one took on rather unexpected angle! Off all things we are getting 1/6 action figure produced by Damtoys in the collaboration with Nauts for Monster Hunter series. As parts of their first release, Damtoys will be making some stuff from MHP3 and MH World which this article will focus on the former. For MHP3, Damtoys will be releasing Yukumo Armor Hunter set available for both gender and regular & deluxe version. Scheduled for Late 2024/Early 2025 1/6 Yukumo Hunter will be sold for 225 USD and 315 USD for Regular and Deluxe version respectively.

The Deluxe version comes with 3 additional items which are Stand Base, Yukumo SnS weapon and Turtle pet which is not exactly the best add-on version. While not as famous as Hottoys, Damtoys had been in the 1/6 Scale Figure business for quite a long time usually making 1/6 Military themed Action figures. Therefore it is quite a surprise that Damtoys decide to pick up Monster Hunter franchise and make something good out of it. This product release implies that Capcom is starting to take some humble pie and put some lax when it comes to leasing out Monster Hunter franchise because MH as a series had been on downward slope over past few years.

Overall Damtoys Yukumo Hunter captures the image of a wandering samurai quite well despite the face expression is rather stiff. Regardless it is still a pleasure for long time MH-fans to see one of the more special MH Starter armor getting a physical release after almost 15 years since its appearance in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd trailer. I suppose Yukumo Hunter become Damtoys earlier picks despite plenty of other popular choices is due their experience in making fabric based clothing which is what the majority of Yukumo armor made off. In any case I do hope Damtoys will keep working on the MH IP and i think they could make some decent 1/6 Kirin Female Hunter with their experience.

Monster Hunter Rise Union Creative Hinoa & Minoto Scale Figure

 I might have parted my ways with Monster Hunter series few years as MH Rise being my last, considering the series has deviated too much up to my personal liking, however I still remember some fond memories with MH Rise even if the game is not my exact particular cup of tea. When it comes to Waifus however, MH Rise is no doubt is the top reigning one as they have Wyverian Twin Mikos, Hinoa and Minoto serving as the game's poster girl. Out of the blue, Union Creative decided to announce release for MH Rise Scale Figure for both Hinoa an Minoto that doesn't come with exact scale but will stand 27 cm tall! Scheduled for December 2024, Union Creative Hinoa & Minoto will be sold for 16000 Yen each.

In terms of value for money, these Union Creative figure for Monster Hunter waifu would have been a really good one if the figure really stands 27 cm considering Japanese scale figures are rather expensive nowadays. When it comes to MH Waifu, MH Tri series had some pretty good ones and I am quite fond of Tanzia Port Guild Sweetheart. But given my main strike zone is still mecha, these sort of figures are rather easy to overlook if it is not Pop Up Parade. Regardless I am confident that Hino and Minoto will be a good addition for MH Fans apart from collecting those Capcom Figure Builder.

April May 2024 Loot

 By this time my monthly acquisition for Hobby product have been getting rather massive which probably will need to be kept in check. But nevertheless got myself some really good acquisitions over this period of two months which do align with my interest with Mecha. I think my previous hauls still got higher overall value but the April May Loot does not lose when it comes to quality.

Surprisingly the loot balance from the Japanese and Chinese manufacturer are somewhat well balanced this time and as always Mecha represent the majority. This haul is the first time Transformers joining my loot collection which I pick Optimus Prime, Megatron and Ultra Magnus to represent the first batch and it won't be the last of it because I will be planning to get Soundwave at least to join my Transformers collection. 

The best of the hauls are still from the Japanese side with the top 3 positions are filled by Megahouse Quattro Bajeena, AM Gunner and MRS Justice Gundam simply due to the product rarity. However Sluban Hurricane and Cangdao Tianwei do come close from behind. Lastly the hauls of this batch do appear to have more Model kits which I wonder when will I have the free time to assemble them.

Yami's Review on Monster Hunter Now

 It has been around 3 weeks since the Monster Hunter now release and as a former consummate Monster Hunter fan, I feel obligated to take a look of this Monster Hunter version of Pokemon Go. Actually I was planning to release this article earlier last month, but this instance would be actually more fitting as I have fought all of the monsters available in Monster Hunter Now first build which concluded with Rathalos. Long Story short, Monster Hunter Now passed flying color for me and I just realize now why People are crazed for Pokemon Go back then.

 Through cooperation of Niantic and Capcom utilising Augmented Reality technology integrated with Google Map. Monster Hunter Now offer more streamlined MonsterHunter experience for Mobile Phone users, providing bite sized hunts against assorted range of Monsters from this Capcom's best selling series. This game is literally a godsend for MH Vets like myself who still have fond memories with Monster Hunter but lacks the luxury of time to play their full fledged game anymore and I am happy that my hunting skill haven't rusted off badly despite left off from MH Rise 2 years ago.

 In MH Now I picked Lancelot as my Hunter Name because this is the name i used back in MHFU and for a good measures in other MH series barring MH3U. I will always be a Lance user first and foremost but considering MH Now didn't have this weapon at the current iteration, I stick with SnS which perform the task just fine.While MH Now gameplay is more simplified compared to the current MH Console game be it Iceborne or Sunbreak but the fundamentals remain the same and the Grinding part arguably feels more potentially painful because some common drops on console game is quite hard to obtain in the present state of MH Now. The only problem that I currently have with MH Now is the timer limit which have no workaround and it really gets punishing once you fight higher rarity monsters. To be honest as old school MH player, I really have hard time to get into newer MH Titles like Sunbreak which I find to be too flashy and not grounded enough especially with the Wirebug gimmicks, but Capcom at very least appear to try provide some middle ground with MH Now.

 While there are many issues that some fans have with MH Now, personally I find this game possibly have the best potential among the Monster Hunter games released up until now. Through almost 2 decades that Monster Hunter have journeyed through, this series had accumulated around 270+ main monsters but none of the Monster Hunter game able to bring the full force of this legendary series had which is why every new Monster Hunter feels overshadowed by Freedom Unite, at least for the old fans. And MH Now provide the opportunity for Capcom to bring the Might of their Monster Hunter series into full force if properly utilised and provide avenue for older hunters to relive their better memories. As long as the monetization option are not that greedy, People will keep flocking into MH Now because this game is good enough for the devoted fanbase of Monster Hunter.

Monster Hunter Capcom Figure Builder Alatreon

 Capcom is getting really active again with their Monster Hunter IP this month with Monster Hunter 6 within realm of possibility and the release of Monster Hunter Now which is warmly received by the fans. Straight after Deviljho, CFB comes with another heavy hitter yet again and this time is the Elemental Master Elder Dragon, Alatreon! Scheduled for March 2024 release, CFB Alatreon will be sold for 33000 Yen.

Standing upward on top the molten rocks of Sacred Land, Alatreon deviantly gazing toward the Heaven with its Skypiercer Horn proudly adorned as a crown. This Capcom's Premium Figure is yet another perfect physical representation of this Apex Predator Elder Dragon. Debuted in 3rd Generation, Alatreon is an Elder Dragon that capable of wielding several elements to its advantage serving as Endgame Challenge for seasoned Hunters who want to prove their worth. I first encountered Alatreon in MHP3 but later had more intimate Encounter with this guy as I hunted more than 100 of this Elder Dragon in MH3U Spread across 3 alt characters. The main challenge from Alatreon is not the solo fight itself, but breaking both of the horns which is the only way to obtain Skypiercer. While Alatreon mechanics probably greatly differ in MHW, I still remembered fondly the moments where I farmed this guy with Brachy Gunlance and then eventually cheese this thing with Kelbi Bow since it was very weak against Slime element in 3U. While the CFB version is out of my price budget, I will be waiting for Bandai to release SHM for this legendary Elder Dragon.

Arknights Monster Hunter Collab event Afterthoughts

 6 months has passed since the Arknights MH Collab Event was announced and time goes so fast as this event already nearing its end. Personally I am happy that I am able to keep my end of bargain to support Arknights over this period of months no matter how minor the contribution is. Dubbed "Flurry to the Flame" Arknights is bringing a glimpse of MH Universe to Arknights which feature The King of the Sky "Rathalos" as Cameo. Overall this collab event quality is as good as Rainbow 6 Siege Collab back in 2021, However by this time I think Hypergryph could have optimised this sort of rare collab events even further with the experiences they have accumulated instead of just repeating the run-of-the mill stuffs.

Monster Hunter SHM Tigrex

 When you thought Tamashii Nation have stopped their SHM production for Monster Hunter series they return with a big fish this time! Mizutsune was rather random choice last time but the definitive Posterboy of 2nd Generation Monster Hunter, Tigrex is here! Scheduled for January 2024 release, SHM Tigrex will be sold for 15000 Yen.

 The SRP of SHM Tigrex saw some rather slight increase compared to previous Monster Hunter SHMs but this rendition of Tigrex shouldn't disappoint with the gimmick it offers. Not sure which parts need to be swapped, but SHM Tigrex is able to replicate its rage form in which its blood vessels popping out of its skin making this guy accelerates from hitting like a Truck to a goddamn Train. SHM Tigrex also come with a hunter figure which happens to be Mafumofu armor equipped with Longsword which will certainly make PSP MH Vets reminisce about Sinking Feeling. As for me, this rendition of Tigrex will just remind me of my days in Highschool days when I kept chopping Tigrex Head with Devil Slicer for its scalp in Village 5* quest. Honestly Bandai could still continue MH SHM with some other popular monsters and I would gladly wait for SHM Rajang to join my MH collection.

Monster Hunter Capcom Figure Builder Deviljho

 Arknights Monster Hunter just begun last week and at the same timing we got yet another good stuff for Monster Hunter from Capcom Figure Builder series! Once debuted in 3rd Gen more then a decade ago, The Pickle from Hell Deviljho decided to make its appearance as a full fledged Premium Figure. Standing 26cm tall, CFB Deviljho will be scheduled for February 2024 with 22000 Yen price tag.

 A roaming Brute Wyvern, Deviljho is a threat to any ecosystem that it treads into due to its voracious endless appetite caused by its abnormal metabolism. Despite its status as Brute Wyvern, Deviljho can even put up a good fight against Elder Dragons and came on top relying its sheer force of muscles and bestial instincts. When enraged, Deviljho's already impressive muscle mass bulked up even further, tearing up its skin and exposing its many battle scars from its previous many fights. At some point when Deviljho succumbed to its insatiable appetite, It will descent into permanent enraged self known as Savage Deviljho.

The CFB Figure portrayed Deviljho's traits quite perfect as it display its Nimbleness despite hulking figure and readiness to fight anything that it faces because this Brute Force won't give a damn about anything. I previously already had the Mini version of this guy and very satisfied with it. Personally I find Deviljho had been always a very good wyvern to be hated and I would always love any chance to give this Insolent Pickle a good beating whether it is a normal one or Savage variant.

Arknights Monster Hunter Collab event


 Since the Capcom collaboration announcement with Arknights last year, the Monster Hunter collaboration content have been revealed just now and the hype is real! Initially some people have been expecting Resident Evil or Devil May Cry collab but Monster Hunter the one that ended up chosen by Hypergryph. The MH Collab will be available in Arknights CN on March 7th and we will expect the collab will be available on Global around Late August-September. 

For this collab event Rhodes Island Operator Yato and Noir Corne will make appearance as 6* Specialist and 5* Guard Operator respectively complete with signature Kirin and Rathalos Monster Hunter Armor. After being stuck as 2* operator for so long it is time for these veteran Rhodes Island operator to show their worth. I Suppose the event will feature MH monsters as the enemies with some of the Wyverns will serve as Boss enemy which I look forward how Hypergryph will handle it.

This collab is boon for both series as MH is not as big anymore and Arknights could use very good collab to one up the competition while games like FGO and Genshin left falling behind with their recent blunders. Speaking of Arknights, I have been playing this game for 3 Years already and the gacha experience is very stable even if the gratification is not the best. For my part i will support this rare collab by buying monthly pass until the collab arrives at global server considering this years banner is very competitive with many Alter and meta Operator Banners lying around for next 6 months. Lastly I do hope the MH collab will not stop at this event because there are many more Monster Armors that deserve to make an appearance

Monster Hunter SHM Mizutsune


 When it appears that Bandai had stopped working with Monster Hunter for their SHM lineup, they made another entry and this one is for Bubble Fox Mizutsune from Monster Hunter Generations! SHM Mizutsune is scheduled for February 2023 release with price tag of 13500 Yen, a significant increase from the previous entries probably due to weakening yen combined with the product size.

For the effect parts, SHM Mizutsune is more well equipped compared to SHM Mizutsune as it comes with its bubblefoam and waterjet part effect. In MHGens is one of the Elite 4 Wyverns representing water element possessing unusual agility due to the bubblefoams excreted from its body parts. This Fox wyvern prefers to trap its opponent with Bubblefoam first before delivering powerful blows with its tails. I suppose Bandai picked Mizutsune due to its close Japanese Aesthetics and a safer choice for Bandai to resume the lineup before continuing with the heavy duty characters like Deviljho or Rajang. Out of the Elite 4 wyverns, Glavenus had one of the best chance to be next compared to Astalos or Gammoth.

Yami Playing Monster Hunter Rise


  The main reason of my inactivity of past two weeks and i am really glad to be back into Monster Hunter verse once again with MHGU being my last MH Game in past few years. At first i didn't particularly care about this game, but being goaded by my old hunting buddies i had no choice but reciprocate the call. Being the truly new MH Title for Nintendo Switch, Monster Hunter Rise offers a solid new start for one of the best selling Capcom series to date. MH Rise begins with a very good first impression along with the best Questgiver waifus to date. In MHR, the Hunter starts in Kamura village which is pretty much improvised Yukumo village slapped with tons of Ninjas theme. There are so much to tell about the gameplay improvement mechanics but MHR, but notably those QoL enhancements from Monster Hunter World so no more stupid flexing pose when drinking potions! Also you get you own Dog companion called Palamute which you can ride to travel around the maps quickly which certainly make the Palicoes felt overshadowed.

 Overall Monster Hunter Rise provides a solid gameplay experience for Monster Hunter which sheds a lot of redundant baggage from previous generations. No doubt Monster Hunter as series is one of the few that managed to have consistent improvements throughout its iterations which is a great achievement for Japanese Console Gaming industry that has been slowly in deline. The only flaw for MHR would be its current limited roster especially on the low-mid range which is probably due to the game was rushed ahead 3-6 months ahead of its development, but at very least Capcom are still addressing this issue with constant update. While the G-Rank expansion will be coming eventually, MHRise content still worth more than its retail price despite its current roster is still about half of MHGU. At the moment i have cleared all village Quest and now slowly moving on the Hub Quests. Looking forward to get the Teostra set in this game once again!

March 2021 Loot

 I think my spendings for Toys over past three months are quite overkill since i got myself a solid range of hauls in this time range. This months loot represents my collection target quite well which are balance of Mecha and FGO related merchandise with few outliers lies in between. The best catch of this month's loot is no doubt the SCM Sagittarius Aiolos which i had been looking for a playable substitute for the God Cloth version. I think i could cover reviews for the loots in this batch quite quick since i am planning a desert theme for future review which most would fit quite well. In any i really need to work on the Gundam Ensemble since the backlog has piled up to 4 volumes already.

Monster Hunter SHM Zinogre

 After a brief silence from the initial release of SHM Rathalos and Nargacuga, the Flagship Wyvern from MHP3, Zinogre joins the lineup! With its obvious popularity which still going strong, Zinogre had one of the highest odds to show up and Tamashii Nation did so, SHM is scheduled for July release with 12000 Yen price tag. I think we can expect improvement compared to the Revoltech version which was released years ago but i would have anticipated something more from Bandai for this Lightning Wolf. So for 12000 Yen, we are getting the vanilla version of Zinogre in its normal state without any effect parts for lightning effect or rage state, at least Tamashi Nation could throw in an electric orb or two. 

Zinogre was one of the more memorable MH Wyvern out there due to its cool design combined with unique mechanic in which Zinogre's supercharged rage form is one of its main selling point. I liked this guy's armor set but rarely able to use it since Zinogre's Blademaster set is not too compatible with Lancer setup. So unfortunately Bandai's take on the lightning wolf is rather a miss since it is unable to utilize the Wyvern's full potential. In any case while i think Gore Magala would be the next candidate, i would love to see Lagiacrus or Diablos coming next.

January 2021 Loot


  Another accumulated loot post as past three months have been rather hectic for me. In any case another well rounded acquisition for me with a balance mix of Bishoujo figures and Mechas. The best haul of the bunch is Hi-Metal L-Gaim which is no doubt a good product overlooked by its obscure series. The SHM Rathalos probably catches the attention the most among the rest of the loots and i am certainly looking forward to the future release for Zinogre. In this haul saw myself another sizable addition for Beastbox series including the second AMTS series, Deep-One. Lastly My FGO and Ensemble series are getting steady addition and certainly i need to catch up for the latter as i have been lagging 2 volumes behind. As usual Prize Figures and the Beastbox series will be likely getting the review first.

Monster Hunter Nendoroid 1421 Male Zinogre Alpha Armor


 It took about six months but Zinogre Hunter Nendoroid, being the second half of the Monster Hunter series Nendoroid from the Winter Wonderfest is now open for Preorder! Shortly after Winter Wonfes, Nendoroid Nargacuga Blademaster was immediately available for PO but it took sometime for Zinogre to have its release. However the wait for this one is worth it because the finished result for the Lighning Wolf Armor is quite satisfying. Nendoroid Zinogre is scheduled for January 2021 release and as usual got regular and DX release with 6100 Yen and 8000 Yen Price tag respectively.

 The regular version of Zinogre Hunter Nendoroid comes with Charge Blade as the default weapon and the DX version throws in Heavy Bowgun as additional weapon. Apparently the DX version also will include faceplate with different Eye color to display the Latent Power Armor Skill which has always been the gimmick of Zinogre Armor series.

This particular version of Zinogre Armor is based on the regular Zinogre Blademaster Armor which has been around since MHP3 since it belong to the Flagship Monster of the game. As for the Zinogre itself, it has been one of the most popular Monster from the series, being a defiant wolf that smites everything in the way with its Thunder. Which is why Zinogre Armor is picked by GSC once it made its comeback through Iceborne. With its popularity, I think MH series will keep getting Nendoroids but i hope GSC going to make some Elder Dragon Hunter Armor Series soon
