During yesterday's Monster Hunter Digital Event, Capcom revealed that Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin will be receiving three new amiibo figures.
Models of Ena, Razewing Ratha, and Tsukino will all be available alongside the game at launch, each offering a different special layered armour set when scanned into the game. Nintendo of America has now supplied a lovely set of images of the three figures, which you can check out in excruciating detail below.
Looking pretty good, huh?
Nintendo has also announced that in the US, these three figures will be exclusive to Gamestop. You'll be able to track them down there while supplies last when they launch on 9th July. Details for availability in other regions such as Europe have yet to be confirmed.
Pre-orders for the Monster Hunter Rise amiibo also went live recently, although stock is already hard to come by. You can keep an eye on orders for those here.
Are you planning on picking up Monster Hunter Stories 2 with these new amiibo? Let us know in the comments.

Yay for Monter Hunter
(Until he corrects the article title)
Will it compatible with ACNH ?
Guess I'm running to Gamestop tomorrow.
@TheLightSpirit It only says "other regions such as Europe are yet to be confirmed", not "you will never get them because we hate you "
We have months for them to sort it out, calm down.
I will grab the Amiibos for sure. Not sure if I will get the game on release date or not.
I shall get this along with MH Rise
@TheLightSpirit I guess it's harder because Europe tries to have the same release dates...but it's so many countries!
Hopefully they sort it out soon, these look decent.
I'm gonna skip the girl but the other 2 shall be mine!
I hope this isn’t online only like the zelda joycons were. Not happy that these are gs exclusive. Only reason I managed to get the rise ones was I went to a hole in the wall gamestop and ordered in person.
The first game is a good Pokemon-style game with excellent graphics and a beautiful world to explore and fight in. Unfortunately the rock-paper-scissor combat takes a lot of agency from the player, which makes for an ultimately tedious fighting. It's a game that has a lot of positives, but the nonsensical combat will turn lots of people off.
I like them much more than the MHRise ones.
I always found the ears on the Rathalos so distracting.
"GameStop exclusive"
Aw, sh*t. Here we go again.
If they get released in Europe and IF I can easily order them from a normal store with normal payment options, maybe I'll get the ones I like.
Let me guess they are sold out already?
What kind of shenanigans is this?
@OstianOwl Havent all the new ones basically been gs exclusive?
@Chunkboi79 Mostly the 3rd party ones it seems; the Cat Mario & Cat Peach ones are available mostly everywhere and the Smash Bros. ones are still coming to most retailers from what I've seen.
Definitely getting that rathalos and maybe the palico
Darn it Capcom and Nintendo, stop making amiibo I actually want! I'd broken myself of collecting them until the Rise figurines....
Stinks that these are GS exclusives (again), but that Razewing Rathalos shall be mine!
@TheLightSpirit It does seem weird and I understand the frustration, but Europe does get some nice exclusives that you can't get at all in NA, especially when it comes to special edition games. I'm still jealous about the Gameboy-styled steelbook Europe had for Link's Awakening.
They look nice, as good as the pics, but "Gametsop exclusive" means they'll be sold as used for $69.99 each.
Enough w/ the Gamestop exclusives Nintendo, how do you never learn?
For the young'uns since this is nearly 8 years ago:

Maybe Nintendo should sell them on eBay themselves. You know, to come to grips with the concept of eBay Exclusive amiibos.
great.. Gamestop exclusive and in limited supply.
@rjejr Not necessarily, there were gamestop exclusives that sold at regular price. The only reason why it sells higher is because scalpers get to them before anyone else.
Any idea if imports will be particularly costly or where to go to find them at a good price? I really want these, but I swore off of ever buying through GameStop years ago, so they aren't getting a cent from me. I know imports generally cost a bit more, but I'm not sure where to look to get them for a decent price. I don't care about keeping them in-box, so I don't mind if they're from a different region.
Going to turn on my Twitter alerts again to score these Amiibo.
PLEASE GIVE US A EU RELEASE! I dont care if it is gonna be mynintendostore exclusive. Just please dont skip europe for this like the first game.
I hope the amiibo actually comes to my country, to get the ones for Rise i had to pay like 6x the price because only one of them came to my country through retailers. I wouldn't be upset if i just missed out on the preordering of them by my own fault but they never even offer them. I really really hope they do some kind of release of the three of them here....
