Capcom Unleashes a New (and Surprisingly) Taste‑tasting Steamy Collection
Ever heard of a pillow that looks like a steak or a block of raw meat? Capcom just dropped on the market two Monster Hunter‑inspired cushions that do just that—one modeled after a well‑done steak, the other a slab of raw meat, straight from the game’s pantry.
Why the Crazy Choice?
- Monster Hunter fans know the thrill of hunting gargantuan monsters and pulling out hefty, often bloody loot.
- Raw meat is the first thing you cook after a successful hunt, turning into a hearty stew or that iconic well‑done steak.
- These pillows are the exact size of the in‑game items: roughly 890 mm long, 230 mm wide, and 170 mm thick.
Made from polyurethane—think car seat, sneaker, and watch strap material—they’re safe to touch, but definitely not edible. If you try to eat them, you’ll get a heavy dose of disappointment the way we love that “I can’t eat this thing” moment, but maybe they’ll keep the cat from spoiling your bed! (Just kidding… keep them out of reach of hungry pets.)
Design, Hauntingly, and the Price Tag
Sure, Monster Hunter’s arsenal is vast—spiked rifles, heavy armor, adorable Palicoes, and creepy Grimalkynes—but the raw meat and steak pillows feel like the hit of the horror season. A little too gruesome for casual gamers, but it’s a solid win for the hardcore fan in all of us.
Cost-wise, these pillows are priced at 16,280 ¥—that’s about US$120 or S$166. To put that in perspective, you could grab three Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansions for the same amount on Steam, plus a nice little stash of change. Who needs actual magic meat when you can have the paint‑on version that gives you a comfy scar?
Choose Your Experience
- For the freaky fan: Get the pillows on Capcom’s online store. They ship from November 2022 onward.
- For the more rational type: Keep hunting in the game, craft that delicious steak on the grill, and let the real meat do the job.
Our verdict? These pillow-packagers are necrotic, but oddly satisfying if you’re a die‑hard Monster Hunter devotee. We’ll settle in, cuddle with our “steak” pillow, and keep the game’s meat to our virtual dining table.
