Resident Evil fans are in for a surprise as Capcom unveils three new plushies that transform some of the franchise’s most nightmarish creatures into adorably soft collectibles. These plush toys reimagine the Licker, zombie dog, and the mysterious HUNK, offering a hilarious contrast to their usual terrifying appearances.
For a series known for its gruesome survival horror, this unexpected cute twist is both amusing and oddly fitting—proving once again that even the most horrifying monsters can be huggable under the right circumstances.
Resident Evil’s 30th Anniversary & The Future of the Franchise
With Resident Evil rapidly approaching its 30th anniversary, excitement is growing around what’s next for the legendary franchise. Capcom has revived its classics through stunning remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, alongside newer horror masterpieces like Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village.
Many fans are speculating on future remakes, with Resident Evil: Code Veronica being a top contender. However, for now, Capcom is drawing inspiration from the series’ early days—as shown by these plushies, which pay homage to the first two Resident Evil games.
New Resident Evil Plushies: Details & Release Date
Capcom has officially revealed three plushies from its “Capcorom” line, featuring a stackable and simplified chibi design. Despite their cutesy transformation, each plush still retains distinctive features from their original in-game counterparts:
🧠 Licker Plush – Features its signature exposed brain and a long, drooping tongue, though in a much more cartoonish and less grotesque way.
🐶 Zombie Dog Plush – The scarred and undead Doberman is given a chibi twist, complete with red markings that resemble exposed flesh, making it both creepy and endearing.
🎭 HUNK Plush – The fan-favorite Umbrella operative is reimagined with his signature tactical gear and iconic red-eyed gas mask, giving him a miniature, battle-ready appearance.
📅 Release Date & Pricing
- 🛒 Launch Date: March 15, 2025
- 💰 Price: 1,100 yen (~$7.40 USD each)
Resident Evil Meets Cute: A Growing Trend
While the idea of cuddly Resident Evil monsters might seem strange, this isn’t the first time the franchise has embraced a cuter side.
📺 Resident Evil 4 Anime Promo: Capcom previously celebrated the Resident Evil 4 remake with a lighthearted anime-style promotional series, turning some of the most horrifying moments from the game into comedic pastel-colored scenes.
🎨 Fan Creations: The fandom has also embraced this trend in unexpected ways. One fan even got a Resident Evil-themed tattoo—but instead of a traditional horror design, they opted for Leon S. Kennedy reimagined as a raccoon (a nod to Raccoon City), dubbing him “Leon S. Raccoonedy.”
With these plushies, Capcom continues to prove that even a horror icon like Resident Evil can have a playful, adorable side—and fans are here for it.
