A toast! To the greatest hunters in the land!
The millions of Monster Hunter fans now have a way to cheer their virtual victories in the real world: a beer stein made for just that purpose.
You can buy the stein in various sizes and style. The largest, a 1 liter (33.8 ounces) stein is decorated black and gold. The bottom has the Monster Hunter logo, and at the bottom of the tall mug? An icon that says, "Quest Cleared." Another version of the 1-liter stein is brown with lines, to look like it is made of wood.
A 700ml (23.6 ounces) version has a dragon engraved on the side. And there are two 380ml (12.8 ounces) versions, a dark-brown faux-wooden mug with the dragon gain, or a light faux-wooden one with a pair of cartoony cats.
The mugs cost from 5184 yen to 8424 yen, or $50.54 U.S. to $82.12.
Monster Hunter is a popular online roleplaying game franchise from Capcom. The original was released in 2004 for PlayStation 2. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will be released later this year for Nintendo 3DS. The games have sold over 28 million copies in total.
