Monster Hunter Frontier Online Forward.1 Premium Package Collector's Edition
Capcom4/20/2011Japan

Deep in the Xbox 360's import library sits a beast of a collector's edition that most Western players have never laid eyes on. 1 Premium Package Collector's Edition is a mouthful of a name and an armful of a package, bringing Capcom's online hunting phenomenon to Microsoft's console with a staggering amount of extras. The Dementieva figure of Thoria's daughter is the physical centerpiece, a detailed sculpt that speaks to the craftsmanship Capcom put into their Japanese collector's releases.

You get a start guide, an MHF guide, a 30-use Hunter Life Course coupon for Xbox 360, and a mountain of in-game production tickets covering weapons, armor, jewels, and more. The sheer volume of included content reflects how Monster Hunter Frontier operated as a living, breathing online world where every resource mattered. This was the era before Monster Hunter conquered the West with World, when the franchise was still largely a Japanese phenomenon and Xbox 360 exclusivity made it even rarer outside its home market.

A complete Premium Package with all inserts, codes, and the figure intact is an extraordinary find. Most of these never left Japan, and the ones that did have been picked apart by figure collectors and Monster Hunter devotees over the years. For import collectors and Monster Hunter historians, this is a grail-tier piece.

It represents a chapter of the franchise's story that most fans don't even know exists.
