In April 2026, two varieties will appear in Japanese arcades. One is a collection of four smaller ones in the established Yurukawa line, while the other is a larger Grande plush of the dog. Both will launch on April 10, 2026, and there's no word on a worldwide release yet. Places like Meccha Japan have sold others in these series before, however, and it seems companies like Jazwares may be releasing more merchandise based on the character outside Japan. In the case of the Pompompurin Grande stuffed animal, there is only one option available. It is a large version of the dog with a yellow plaid bow and brown hat. It stands at about 20 inches tall (52cm) and about 12 inches wide (30cm). Meanwhile, the Yurukawa series is actually a collection of four Sanrio characters all in themed Pompompurin color schemes and styles. So Cinnamoroll and Hangyodon both wear matching plaid bow ties, and Kuromi has a plaid dress. The other characters also swap out of their normal color schemes for shades of yellow.  Here's how all of those items will look. Images via Sanrio and Sega 2025 ended up being a big year for Pompompurin, as it won the Sanrio Character Ranking. The 2026 iteration of the popularity poll begins on April 9, 2026.

A mutation of the Barioth species, you'll need to reach the Sereathis region to unlock the creature. Moreover, you'll need to repel the Invasive Khezu, and this guide will tell you what needs to be done. Table of contents How to repel the Invasive Khezu in Monster Hunter Stories 3 How to get the Sand Barioth in Monster Hunter Stories 3 How to repel the Invasive Khezu in Monster Hunter Stories 3 To find the Khezu, you need to reach the Serathis location and reach the spot marked on the image below. To repel the Khezu, you have to reach the win condition. To do so, you need to stop the Khezu's Wyvernsoul. When it hits you, it will reset your progression in the fight. Image via Capcom To repel the Invasive Khezu, you'll need to deal with the attack five times without breaking the sequence. For the first one, you'll need to win the Head-to-Head with a Double Attack (either from your or with one of your monstie) while focusing on the Power affiliation. Keep repeating the double attacks to prevent it from doing damage and regenerating its Wyvernsoul. Once you've repeated this for a few turns, your screen will show that the Khezu has Learning Complete, and it will prepare for a special attack. When the Khezu changes to the Invading state, you'll need to Speed Double Attack since it will do Power attacks instead. Image via Capcom Once the Khezu is about to land its special attack after Learning Complete, use a Double Kinship attack. This will make the Khezu skip a turn, and it will flee while leaving behind the den. You can pick up a Barioth egg from the den. How to get the Sand Barioth in Monster Hunter Stories 3 Image via Capcom Obtaining the Sand Barioth mutation is really easy. All you need to do is for your Barioth to hatch, and then release it in an area. You'll find more Barioth eggs from the region. Hatch a few more and release them to raise the Barioth's Ecosystem Rank to A. Once done, you'll unlock the Sand Barioth mutation and find the special eggs in Barioth dens (depending on your luck).

Destructoid Tuesday, March 17, 2026 4:03 PM How to get Soulseer Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Stories 3 – Shogun Cenataur Invasive guide       The Soulseer Mizutsune is a 7* Leviathan that's one of the strongest mutations in Monster Hunter Stories 3, and unlocking it for your collection won't be an easy task. For starters, you'll need to get the Mizutsune, which is an endangered monstie. On your way will be the Shogun Cenataur that you have to repel to gain access to the den in the first place. Let's look at how to unlock the Soulseer Mizutsune. Table of contents How to repel the Invasive Shogun Cenataur in Monster Hunter Stories 3 How to get Zinogre in Monster Hunter Stories 3 How to get the Soulseer Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Stories 3 How to repel the Invasive Shogun Cenataur in Monster Hunter Stories 3 Image via Gmtreks. Remix by Destructoid The first hurdle for you is to repel the Invasive Shogun Cenataur that can be found in the Canalta Timberland region. You can find its location on the image above (refer to the icon "5"). The Shogun Cenataur's Killer Claw attacks are extremely dangerous, and you'll need to have high defense. Image via Capcom Having party members that can trigger Defense Up will be a nice bonus, as you'll need to tank some hits. You can also use Mega Armorskin to buff up the defense of your monsties. Thankfully, the claws are easy to break as long as you can tank damage, and the creature will repel once you manage to nullify its attacks. You will be able to access an egg den that allows you to get a Mizutsune (after the egg hatches). How to get Zinogre in Monster Hunter Stories 3 Image via Gmtreks. Remix by Destructoid To get the Soulseer mutation, you'll need a Zinogre, which is also an endangered species. You'll need to go to Tarkuan and repel an Invasive Odogaron (location marked as "8" in the image above). You need to use a monstie with a mud move. Image via Capcom Having an ability like the Mud Torrent will help you to break the Odograon's claws and force it to back off. Then, you can access a den that has a Zinogre egg. Wait for it to hatch, and you have your Zinogre. How to get the Soulseer Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Stories 3 There are two requirements to fulfil to unlock the Soulseer Mizutsune egg. Get Mizutsune's Ecosystem Rank to S. Resides in habitats that have at least one other endangered monster that is a rival to Mizutsue, which is our Zinogre. Image via Capcom Once you've found your first Mizutsune and Zinogre, release them in the same area. This will now allow you to find more Mizutsune and Zinogre eggs in the same region. Keep obtaining and releasing more Mizutsune in the same area until its Ecosystem Rank is up to S. You'll now have met both requirements for getting your Soulseer Mizutsune. You can loot random dens and hope to get lucky, or Paintball a Mizutsune. It will then lead you to its den, and if you're lucky, you'll find a Soulseer Mizutsune egg to get the mutation for yourself.
