Finalized Robbie the Rabbit statue's revealed

3/26/2014

0 Comments

Mamegyorai and revealed photographs of the finalized Robbie the Rabbit statues.
As you can see the boxes look amazing and I cannot wait to get my hands on both of these (and the souvenir version if I can get it).

The Pink blood stained Robbie features rusty, blood stained art that looks like a souvenir style product. The Blue Robbie is much similar however the blood and rust are much more present.

Gecco's Robbie the Rabbit is released in Japan this month, although it appears to be sold out everywhere.
For those wanting to get your hands on either of them (or both) you can order them from:

Diamond Comics Distributors Inc. (USA)
Kolektakon LLC (USA)
Abysse Corp (France)
Fantasiland (Italy)
HEO GmbH (Germany)
ILOVETOYZ, INC (Korea)
The Falcon's Hangar (Singapore)

Please note release dates for orders outside of Japan vary with the majority beginning in May and some pre-orders may already be sold out.

So what do you think? And will you be getting your hands on Robbie?

Thanks to John Kubiak for this find! Check out his awesome Silent Hill collection right HERE

Gecco's Comic Con Exclusive Red Pyramid Thing Statue Review

3/9/2014

0 Comments

Last year (2013) Gecco announced two variants of their Bubble Head Nurse and Red Pyramid Thing statues. These two variants were available at the San Diego Comic Con (2013) and also via the ToyMunkey website. Both variants are limited to 1500 pieces.

Unfortunately for myself I was not able to attend Comic Con and I never ordered either statues from ToyMunkey studios. It wasn't until later into the year that customers began to notice that ToyMunkey were no longer answering emails or even sending out orders and thus the partnership with Gecco and ToyMunkey ended leaving a lot of customers out of pocket and without their orders.

I assumed it would be a very slim chance that I would be able to get my hands on the mannequin variant. Until Big Bad Toy Store had them in stock and so I grabbed one as quick as a could and I have to admit that once again I am impressed.

The mannequin variant has definitely replaced my liking for the original Lying Figure statue. Already being a huge fan of the mannequin figure, this was definitely a must!

The box art features the statue on the front with the nine square windows that allow you to look directly into the box (these nine squares mimic the nine save points in Silent Hill 2). Both sides of the box also contains sculptor and game information. The artwork on the back of the box features an image of the Red Pyramid Thing created by Masahiro Ito.

The Red Pyramid Thing statue itself is exactly the same as the original statue with the only difference being the Mannequin creature that he is holding. The whole thing is lightweight and made from PVC. The detail is once again superb and the Red Pyramid Thing really does look amazing.
Focusing on the Mannequin creature the paint job is extremely well done, the back of the mannequin is bloody and sore looking. It's legs are cracked and worn, small blood like specs are present and even the lines around where you would expect the feet and legs to connect are visible.

It's 'arms' are much more smooth and shiny than its legs, these look as if they are taken from a genuine mannequin and as we move closer to the main body of the creature you can see small holes that I would assume are meant to show where the 'arms' connect.

The back of the mannequin also has a small round button in its back which you can see in the pictures below.

The base of the statue is the same as its original design, its tiled and features a few loose tiles on top. I like the base more with this statue as the 'arms' of the mannequin are close to the loose titles which suggest while it was trying to break free it knocked the tiles up.
I also really like how the mannequin's body seems to wrap around the Red Pyramid Thing. It's 'arms' go underneath his body while one of its leg wraps itself around his side/back.

Overall the mannequin seems much larger in length than the Lying Figure variant.

One of the first things I noticed when opening the box was that the small card that is included with all Silent Hill Gecco figures is different. With the other three Silent Hill 2 statues the artwork included on the card was the same as the artwork on the back of the box. With the mannequin variant the artwork features the famous scene where the Red Pyramid Thing appears to rape a mannequin. The back of the contains once again contains information about the statue and it's distributors.

Out of all the Silent Hill 2 statues that Gecco have released I would say that this one is by far my favourite. Being a huge fan of the Mannequin creature had already made this a huge must for my collection and so to finally have it has made me very pleased indeed.

This statue is limited but still available at various online stores. You can purchase this statue from Amazon and Ebay however prices are rather high.
Big Bad Toy Store have the Mannequin statue up for pre-order, priced at $179

Game-Legends also have the Mannequin statue available for € 269.98

Silent Hill Otherworld 2015? Leaked Image?

3/4/2014

2 Comments

Above is an apparently leaked image of the next Silent Hill game title and its release date.
If this is true the next game will be called Silent Hill: Otherworld and has a release date of September 26th 2015.

The game looks to be available for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3 and PC.
At the moment this is only a rumour and could easily be passed off as being a fake. Only time will tell.

The original image was posted by Gamereactor a 'Teaser' video is also available to view HERE

Although this would be good news to all Silent Hill fans, some of what we see does not add up. The release date is already being shown, where with most initial releases it normally just states as "Coming Soon".
The small print is also questionable but due to the fact zooming in only creates a blur its hard to see what it actually says.
The Teaser trailer also goes from video to a still without any special effects. I would have assume the title would have faded in or something like that.
