Life-size Monster Hunter Statues to Open at Japanese Mall

Mitsui Outlet Park Fukuoka Marinoa is installing life-size statues of Rathalos and Lagiacrus from Capcom’s Monster Hunter series. The two giant beasts, known as the King of the Skies and King of the Seas respectively, will serve as permanent residents at the shopping center. To enhance the display, the mall plans to use dramatic sound, lighting, and mist effects to simulate battles between the creatures, referencing the turf war mechanics seen in recent game installments. While exact dimensions may vary due to in-game size variances, preview images suggest a substantial scale. The outlet mall, located near Meinohama Station in Fukuoka City, is scheduled to open this coming April.
