Silent Hill 2, Red Pyramid Thing Figma Review

5/31/2015

Picture
At Winter Wonder Festival 2014 it was revealed that Max Factory would release two Silent Hill Figma figures. These would be distributed by Good Smile Company and be available worldwide. 

At the time only the Red Pyramid Thing Figma had been physically revealed and although it wasn't finished it still looked amazing.

The second figure was revealed to be a Bubble Head Nurse making both Figma's coming from Silent Hill 2. The Red Pyramid Head Figma was released in April of this year (2015) and sold out almost everywhere. 

Luckily I managed to get my hands on a pair of RPT's and I am highly impressed! They look incredible and are definitely a must for any Silent Hill fan.

As we all know similar looking statues were released by Gecco but being a statue, were not posable. With the Figma figures you can pose them in any pose you like, add his Great Knife to the mix and you've got one hell of a bad ass looking figure. 

The Red Pyramid Thing Figma comes in red and black packaging with a large clear window where you can see the figure and some of his accessories. The sides and lids of the box all contain images of the RPT, with a collection of images of him in various poses on the back. All of these poses can be re-created easily yourself.

When opening the box you'll see that he comes with his famous (and awesome) Great Knife, a Spear, 4 pairs of different hands (5 if you include the pair already attached) a stand with support, small plastic bag to keep everything in (if you decide to chuck the box in the bin) and an additional neck piece. As well as a small leaflet with instructions. 
The paint job and detail is outstanding and no small details seem to have been left out. The right side of his helmet has a small nail sticking out with the dent that we have seen so many times before also present on the front. His billowing fleshy mass underneath his helmet looks wet and somewhat sticky, this also has another nail stuck in it at the back. 

One thing that did surprise me is that the bottom of his clothing is made from rubber, which makes adjusting his legs into the right position easy and simple to do. His clothing itself is dull, dirty and blood stained. Small details like his silver buckles and bloody boots really do show how much work has gone into making this look as good as possible. 

His arms, legs and feet are fully jointed making it easy to bend and adjust them into the way you want him to look. You can also twist his helmet from side to side or back and forth. 
The additional pairs of hands means you can have him holding his Great Knife, the Spear, both or nothing. When comparing this figure to the Gecco Statue of the RPT, I do like how easy it is to slot the weapons into his hands. One thing that worried me with the statues was that I was pushing a little too hard and would end up breaking his hand while trying to attach the Great Knife. 

With the Figma, his hands are designed to allow easy insertion of his weapons and actually have a small amount of flexibility. 

The additional neck piece has a small hole in the front. When attached you are able to place the spear into his throat (ouch) and recreate the double RPT battle directly from Silent Hill 2. Originally I intended to keep one of these sealed in the box and the other on display but temptation got the best of me and I had to see what it would look like.
All I need now is an awesome backdrop and i've got a scene from Silent Hill 2 in my living room... 
The base comes with a clear support which can be adjusted. On the base the Figma logo is present and a small hole in the back allows you to attach the support which also fits into the back of the figure to ensure he isn't going to be falling over anytime soon. Although he can stand freely without the stand. 

I purchased both of these from AmiAmi for ¥3800 which works out at around £20/$30 each. Good Smile Company plan on re-releasing him this October for those who missed out the first time. 

You can pre-order him from AmiAmi, BigBadToyStore, Forbidden Planet or directly from Good Smile Company.

Final images of the Figma Bubble Head Nurse revealed, available for pre-order now

Images of Figma's Bubble Head Nurse have finally been revealed and as expected it is a thing of beauty! 

We were treated to a small number of unfinished images back in February but now we can see her completed look and also get a glimpse at the additional extras that come with her. 

As we can see she comes with a bloody knife, steel pipe and additional head which is similar to the head that was included with the Comic Con exclusive Red Bubble Head Nurse from Gecco. 

She is currently up for pre-order from AmiAmi.com with a price of ¥4600 although she has 20% off right now, making her only ¥3540, which works out at just over £19/$29. BigBadToyStore have her listed for $54.99 or you could buy the Nurse and the Red Pyramid Thing directly from the Good Smile Company's online store. The RPT is also receiving a limited re-release in October.

I may have to pre-order more than one of these as i'm already debating a second Red Pyramid Thing Figma. For the price she looks amazing and is definitely worth the money. The RPT sold out pretty fast last time, so if you're planning to get one I would get your order in soon.

Figma's Bubble Head Nurse is due for release late October this year.
