The level of cute exhibited in these new Monster Hunter toys from Banpresto should be ruled illegal (or at least toxic in some capacity). These delightful tidbits were first spotted at AOU recently, and while that means they are prize items (sad, because those are hard for US collectors to get their hands on), I'm sure the deeply determined could probably find a way to acquire them.

These are all due out this summer, so if you're lucky enough to be in Japan and stop by an arcade you have a chance of seeing them in person. GA Graphic has more close up photos, should you want to ogle the adorable faces from a closer angle. Man, the last time I went to the arcade all I got was a crappy plastic snake and their House of the Dead 4 was broken...
