Zinogre, the lightning-charged Fanged Wyvern from MONSTER HUNTER, debuts as an action figure! Featuring a posable neck, torso, tail, and shoulders, the S.H.MonsterArts Zinogre is even capable of taking the monster’s distinctive howling at the moon pose! Sharply rendered in three dimensions down to the finest detail, the figure utilizes translucent parts on the back to replicate the icy glow of its fur. The talons on the front and rear legs can be swapped out to re-create the Zinogre’s attack stance.
S.H.MonsterArts is now taking preorders online at web shops and brick-and-mortar hobby shops, toy stores, electronics stores, and wholesalers across Japan as well as at U.S. online retailers and specialty shops.
Display Zinogree alongside the S.H.MonsterArts Nargacuga and S.H.MonsterArts Rathalos (both sold separately) to re-create ferocious territorial battles!

Launched in November 2011, S.H. MonsterArts is an action figure series focused exclusively on monster characters offering collectors the same standard of quality, character accuracy, fine detail and pose-ability of S.H.
