The box art work for Gecco's Heather and Robbie have finally been revealed and I have to admit they are pretty impressive! I really like the box design for Heather, its creepy and eye catching. I think the design is perfect for the figure and I cannot wait to see it in the flesh! Heather will be released this month (December 2013) in Japan and hopefully later next year for everywhere else. The design for the Robbie box art coincides with each figure. With Robbie being available in a total of 3 variants, the boxes appear to sync with each design. A clean design for the Souvenir edition figure (No blood stains on him at all) which is limited to 300 pieces! The darker more worn design is for the general Robbie figure and finally the extremely worn and bloody design is for the exclusive Blue Robbie. Robbie will be available in Japan next February (2014). You can pre-order both figures from various websites now! A big thanks to Silent Hill Memories for these images.

Luckily this year SIlent Hill fans were treated to quite a lot of Silent Hill merchandise. For those fans who like to look good, why not treat them to a Silent Hill cap, T-shirt or wristband? Insert Coin Clothing currently have two different Silent Hill T-shirts available. The first being the Silent Hill Historical Society T shirt and the Lakeview Hotel T shirt. Both T-shirts are available in sizes Small to 3 X Extra Large. Or why not check out the Lakeside Amusement Park T-shirt available from Game Legends, this T-shirt is available in sizes Small to Extra Large. For the fans who like to sport some awesome headgear, why not give them a Silent Hill Military Hat featuring the one and only Pyramid head or the brilliant Robbie the Rabbit cap. And if that's not enough a matching Lakeside Amusement Park cap (to go with the T-shirt) is also available. The perfect stocking filler would also be the Lakeside Amusement Park wristband, also available from Game Legends. If none of the above are making you want to spend your cash then maybe a Robbie plush will change your mind? There is nothing like a blood stained Rabbit to show its Christmas! And this year Gaya Entertainment released quite possibly one of the most amazing Silent Hill items ever! The Robbie the Rabbit plush is available from Game Legends, Amazon and various other stores. He stands at 37cm tall and is so darn cute! This one is pretty much a WIN all in its self. Also available from Game Legends is the Halo of the sun Keyring, another great stocking filler! If you're wanting to spend a bit more on your presents this year for that REALLY special Silent Hill fan, you could always grab them a Silent Hill Gecco figure. Currently there are a total of 4 figures available (with the 5th becoming available in Japan this month). The first being the Red Pyramid Thing figure with a Lying Figure or the Bubble Head Nurse figure. Both of these figures are more available than the Red Bubble Head nurse or the Red Pyramid Thing figure with a Mannequin in his hands. These latter figures were available at San Diego Comic Con this year are limited to 1500 pieces, so will be a bit more pricey. Do not fear though as you can still get them from Amazon, Ebay or any other sites that just happen to still have them in stock. If you're like me, you might really enjoy hand made gifts. There is something about a gift that has either been made by someone close to you or just someone that really adds something extra! So for those of you who love to give a more personal gift why not check out the custom Silent Hill 4 Saint Medallion. This medallion is beautifully made and a real must for any Silent Hill fan. I ended up buying one myself. This Medallion is actually made by the awesome lady that runs Alchemilla Hospital Another beautifully made item is the 'A Tale of Birds Without a Voice' Silent Hill inspired Art book. It features a total of 16 illustrations showcasing characters and locations in SIlent Hill. The book is created by Elisa Fortes, who I know is a HUGE Silent Hill fan so you're really getting an awesome piece of Silent Hill memorabilia. The great thing about this book is that you can purchase it in a Hardback copy or a Digital copy. I have asked for this for Christmas so if I don't get it ill be very upset. :P Your Silent Hill fan may really love a Silent Hill Facebook fan page, so why not get them a Silent Nerd T-shirt or a Silent Haven T-shirt? As it gets closer to Christmas you'll be wanting to get all of those presents done and dusted as quickly as possible and what is quicker than a Dvd/Blu Ray or Game? Silent Hill Revelation was released on Dvd, Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-Ray this year and so why not grab a copy? You can purchase Silent Hill Revelation from a large number of Stores including Amazon, Ebay, Hmv and more, plus with it already being out for quite a while you might be able to get it at a steal. If you'd rather keep the person you're giving a gift to keep them quiet for a while so you can enjoy your own presents, go for a Silent Hill Game. It's a great gift and contains hours (if not days/weeks/months) of playing. You can choose from a total of ten Silent Hill games (including Book of Memories for the Vita) although the older games will most likely be found on sites such as Ebay. Finally for those who don't have the time to get a gift or don't quite have enough funds, why not give the gift of a pre-order? A Silent Hill 3 Heather figure will be available this month in Japan and hopefully available some time next year everywhere else. Along with this in February a Robbie the Rabbit figure will also be available and if you pre-order it now from AmiAmi you get a free tin of Robbie Tea! Both figures are made once again by Gecco. You could always pre-order one and then pay once available, that way the person you intend to give it to will receive an amazing gift without paying a penny. Hopefully this has helped you make up your mind on what to get the Silent Hill fan in your life. If it hasn't or you can't really afford anything FEAR NOT!

Silent Hill DS features the return of James Sunderland and takes elements from Silent Hill 2 to create a new game.

Preferably for the 3DS so I can see 3D fog and monsters! :D The DS demo showcases a piano puzzle which once completed leads James into the Otherworld. Although a short demo it does open up the possibility of a game for the Nintendo DS. The second demo is for the PS Vita only game Silent Hill: Book of Memories. This was presented to Konami to give them to right to create the game we have today! You can view both demo's in the video below.
