Roaring Wild Studio Unleashes Electrifying Lagiacrus Statue for Monster Hunter Fans

Few monsters in the Monster Hunter franchise command as much respect and nostalgia as the Lagiacrus. Now, Roaring Wild Studio has delivered what might be the definitive collectible tribute to this legendary Leviathan with their new Lagiacrus and Abyssal Lagiacrus statue set.

The Lord of the Seas Returns

Introduced as the flagship monster of Monster Hunter Tri in 2009, Lagiacrus earned its fearsome reputation as the undisputed ruler of the ocean depths. Known in the game's lore as the "Lord of the Seas," this massive Leviathan terrorized the waters around Moga Village, where hunters initially blamed it for devastating earthquakes plaguing the region.

The creature's design drew inspiration from classical sea serpents and electric eels, resulting in a distinctive silhouette that Monster Hunter fans instantly recognize. Its azure blue scales, distinctive hood, and most importantly, its ability to generate and discharge massive amounts of electricity through its dorsal shell-shockers made it one of the most memorable additions to the series.

Lagiacrus holds a special place in Monster Hunter history, voted 3rd in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during the franchise's 20th Anniversary celebration. Its iconic theme "Tremors on Land and Sea" also ranked among the Top 10 monster themes in that same poll.

Roaring Wild's Masterpiece

Roaring Wild Studio has captured everything that makes Lagiacrus special in this remarkably detailed GK (garage kit) statue. Standing at an impressive 44cm tall with a width of 50cm, this piece commands attention from every angle.

The standard Lagiacrus version features the creature perched atop a rocky outcrop with twisted tree roots, creating a scene that evokes the monster's amphibious nature. The attention to detail in the sculpt is remarkable, from the individually rendered scales to the distinctive orange fin membranes that contrast beautifully against the blue-green body.

What truly sets this statue apart is the functional LED lighting system. The dorsal shell-shockers, the biological organs Lagiacrus uses to store and discharge electricity, light up with an ethereal blue glow. Full-body lightning effect parts wrap around the creature, and owners can choose between constant illumination or a breathing light mode that pulses like a living heartbeat.

Two Legends, One Collection

Collectors can choose between two versions of this statue, each representing a different stage of the Lagiacrus lifecycle.

The Abyssal Lagiacrus variant tells a different story. In Monster Hunter lore, these are elderly Lagiacrus that have grown too large and heavy to venture onto land. Having retreated permanently into the deepest ocean trenches, their bodies adapted to the crushing depths over countless years, earning them the title "Lord of the Underworld."

This variant features a deep-sea reef base complete with ancient ruins, suggesting the creature's dominion over forgotten underwater kingdoms. The color scheme shifts to darker, more mysterious tones with black-blue lightning effects replacing the standard version's vibrant blue. The fully glowing variant captures the bioluminescent quality these deep-sea hunters would need in the lightless abyss.

Premium Details

Both versions include glass prosthetic eyes that catch and reflect light, adding lifelike depth to the creature's gaze. This attention to detail rivals other premium gaming collectibles like the recent Resident Evil 4 Ashley Graham figure. The lightning effect parts feature hole-free disassembly, allowing collectors to display the statue with or without the electrical effects depending on their preference.

The base designs differ between versions, with the standard Lagiacrus featuring a terrestrial rock and root environment while the Abyssal version sits atop deep-sea reef formations. Both bases include smaller LED-lit elements that complement the main figure's lighting system.

A Must for Monster Hunter Collectors

With only 90 units available per variant, this statue represents a rare opportunity for serious Monster Hunter collectors. Fans eagerly awaiting Monster Hunter Stories 3 will find this piece a perfect addition to their collection. The combination of premium sculpting, functional LED effects, and faithful recreation of one of the series' most beloved monsters makes this a standout piece.

Whether you remember hunting Lagiacrus in the underwater depths of Monster Hunter Tri or encountered the beast in later entries like Monster Hunter Generations, this statue serves as a worthy tribute to the Lord of the Seas.
