Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise just got a real-life incarnation, as an attraction in Japan's Universal Studios in Osaka: Monster Hunter The Real.

The exhibition is up from February 1 until May 11, and it features large-scale moving replicas of some of the most popular beasts in the series. Gigantic attractions are on display during the event, and Japanese gaming magazine 4gamer provided on-location photographs for all the world to see.

This is not the first time Monster Hunter's beasts visit our realm, as can be seen in the above video, showing the 2012 event opening animatronics, picturing a Gold Rathian causing all kinds of trouble at the same location of Universal Studios Japan.

All attendees will be able to enjoy exclusive food and drinks tailored to the Monster Hunter theme, and the show will also feature an armor and weapon exhibition with replicas of in-game gear.
