Christmas is once again upon us and if you're like me you quite possibly have no idea what you would like Santa to bring you this year. Good job Paradise is here to help! 

I have come up with another  Christmas Gift Guide to ensure that awesome Silent Hill fan in your life gets exactly what they want and to make it a little bit easier I have included links directly to the gifts in question. So its as simple as click, checkout, chill! 

I have selected a large number of links from around the world so there is something for everyone no matter where you are!
Luckily we have been treated to a lot of Silent Hill merchandise lately and to start off lets look at some awesome apparel.

Insert Coin Clothing have three different Silent Hill T-shirts available. The  Silent Hill Historical Society T shirt  Lakeview Hotel T shirt and the Radio Repairs T shirt. All T-shirts are available in sizes Small to 3 X Extra Large and are priced at £22 each or 3 for 2. If you're after something more than a T-shirt why not check out the awesome James Sunderland Jacket they also have available? Priced at £60 it's similar to the original release jacket from 2001 that was limited to 250 pieces and is a must for any fan. You can also grab the full range in a bundle for £85.

Or why not check out the Lakeside Amusement Park T-shirt or the Halo of the Sun T shirt available from Game Legends, this T-shirt is available in sizes Small to Extra Large and are both priced at €18.98. You can also save 10% at Game Legends with the code: SHPGLMC (you're welcome).


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 and Welcome to Silent Hill wristband, along with the Halo of the Sun keychain also available from Game Legends.

Picture
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. 

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. 

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 and 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. 

The more recent Gecco releases include Heather, Pink Bloody Robbie, Blue Bloody Robbie and A bloodless limited edition Robbie. The Bloodless version is exclusive to Japan and is limited to 300 pieces however you may be able to grab one if you use the auction sites Rinkya or Jauce.

Picture
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 Robbie the Rabbit Tree decoration or Toluca Mall Keychain. Both items are made by Amy who runs Silent Hill Alchemilla Hospital so you know it's been made by a fan for the fans!

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. 

Picture
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? Why not grab Silent Hill Revelation  on Dvd, Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-Ray? You can purchase Silent Hill Revelation from a large number of Stores including Amazon, Ebay, Hmv and more. The Uk Steel Pack of the Original Silent Hill film was also released this year and as it's limited edition, this is one item that should surely bring a smile to any Silent Hill fan.

As you should know by now at Gamescon this year we were treated to a free playable teaser download of P.T which revealed the forthcoming next Silent Hill game 'Silent Hills'. Well remember that creepy fetus in the sink? Why not own your very own? A 3D printed P.T Fetus is available via shapeways!

The currently in production fan film, Silent Hill Requiem from Zenithfilms also has an online store where you can grab your very own official Requiem T shirts and signed prints! Check out the store right HERE

We were also treated to more Downpour this year with the awesome Comic Book Series 'Silent Hill Downpour: Anne's story. This series of comics follows the story of Anne Marie Cunningham and extends upon what we played through in the Downpour game. Issues 1-3 are currently available now with the 4th and final issue being available December 10th. 

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. 
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 Red Pyramid Thing figure from Figma will be available April worldwide. A new pose-able Robbie the Rabbit figure will also be available in July from Medicom Toy. 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. 


And for those who just love a bit of Silent Hill why not check out these awesome pages and give them a like on Facebook:

Silent Hill Alchemilla Hospital, Silent Nerd, Silent Hill Historical Society, Silent Hill Memories, Silent Haven, Silent Evil, ZenithFilms (Silent Hill Requiem), Elisa Fs Art (Lovely lady behind A tale of Birds without a Voice), Silent Hill Collectors and SilentHillCollection.com

New Robbie the Rabbit figure from Medicom Toy

11/13/2014

Picture
Just as the dust settles on Gecco's Silent Hill production line Medicom Toy pops up with a new Robbie the Rabbit figure that will be released in July 2015. 

Measuring approximately 300mm high, this Robbie is once again flocked and comes with a chainsaw, steel pipe and a stand for him to stand proudly on.

Unlike the Gecco statues, it would appear that this Robbie is also pose-able which is a huge selling point for myself. 

He has been sculpted by Perfect-Studio and his clothes are made by Yumiko Noda. Although a little more than the Gecco statues, this guy is currently on pre-order for 22,130 yen which works out at around £122 or $191.

Gecco's LImited Edition Robbie the Rabbit Souvenir statue review

6/29/2014

1 Comment

 
Picture
When Gecco announced in July 2013 that they were going to release a Robbie the Rabbit statue, they revealed that there would be a total of three variants available. The first two being a Pink and Blue blood stained statue. The two statues would be available for general release across the world.

The third statue however, was only made available in Japan. To get your hands on one you would need to apply through Figure Oh (Figure King) Magazine. This variant is also limited to only 300 pieces and comes in a souvenir style packaging. Luckily I managed to get my hands on one and I have to say, I think its my favorite out of the three.

To start off with, the packaging for the Souvenir Robbie statue is quite different indeed. The statue box itself comes inside a white box which has a printed ribbon around it. This box has novelty stickers on which make it look as if it has been delivered directly from Silent Hill itself. I especially love the fragile sticker, which has a rabbit silhouette. There is also an address label which states it has been sent from ‘Mr Robbie’ and a QR Code which when scanned takes you to the Gecco website. 

Opening up this parcel we are greeted with the Souvenir Statue. Unlike the other statues, the box art is clean and bright. It has the ‘Sweet Factory, Souvenir Shop’ logo on the top of the box. This time the sides of the box have no statue and sculptor info but are replaced with novelty images of Robbie and the other Lakeside Amusement Park mascots. I especially love how the mascot side states ‘Not also Available’. A carousel silhouette pattern also adorns the sides of the box. The back art still features the image of several Robbie’s in a bathtub (created by Usagi Takana). 

Just from looking into the box you can easily see that the map that is included as a backdrop for the other variants has been removed and has instead been replaced with gold backing. 
The Souvenir Robbie statue features no blood at all. The blood that is present around the mouths of the other statues has been removed entirely. His clothes are clean and tidy and the chainsaw is also shiny and bloodless, along with the base that he can stand on.

Aside from the lack of blood, the only difference with the base is that it has a stamp at the bottom stating that it’s the exclusive souvenir version, printed in white. 
When standing all three of the Robbie statue’s together in their boxes, you can see the decay from clean to blood and rust. I love how so much thought has gone into the packaging of these statue’s and I would have to say that out of all the releases from Gecco, the Robbie statue’s are by far my favorite. I especially love how this variant really does feel like a souvenir, the fact it has the store logo from Silent Hill 3 on the top, it's clean, bright and a joy to look at. 

Sadly Gecco have no plans to release this version in the future and will stick to releasing the Blood stained variants worldwide only. If you would like to try and get your hands on one of these yourself you can try various auction websites like Jauce and Rinkya, although this variant is already selling for well over 30,000 yen.

Gecco's Blue and Pink Robbie the Rabbit statue Review #SilentHill

4/27/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
In July of 2013 we were treated to the first look at a total of four new statues that Gecco were currently working on. The first of those four was released in January and that was of Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3. Along with Heather Mason Gecco also revealed a statue of Robbie the Rabbit also from Silent Hill 3.

Robbie was released in March of this year (2o14) and was released in three different variants. The first being the regular blood stained Pink Robbie, this Robbie is widely available and if you pre-ordered it from Amiami.com it also came with a small tin of Green Tea. The second variant was of a Blue Robbie and is initially exclusive to Mamegyorai in Japan, limited to 3000. The final variant was only available to Figure King Magazine in Japan. This variant of Robbie features different box art and the statue itself contains no blood at all. Bloodless Robbie is limited to only 300 pieces.

Fortunately for myself I have managed to get my hands on the Pink and Blue Robbie statues, with the bloodness version on its way also (mini review to follow upon arrival).

All three Robbie statues feature the same style box art but with additional added detail. The Pink Robbie features souvenir style packaging from Lakeside Amusement Park, with small amounts of blood and rust across the box. The Blue Robbie’s box art is much more bloody and dark, the entire front is rusted and decayed. The back of the boxes contain a large image of four Robbie’s in a bathtub, the only difference being that the Blue Robbie box features one Blue rabbit in the tub and the Pink Robbie’s box contain all Pink Rabbits. The sides of the box contain sculptor information and also additional info about the games and Robbie himself.

When you first open the box you can see that the tabs inside show instructions on how to put the included weapons into his hands. Included is a small sheet of clear plastic which you must wrap around the weapons before placing them into Robbie’s hand. This is to avoid the flocking being removed from his hands. The lid of the box also has a small card which contains the same image on the back of the box and information about the Sculptors and Robbie once again.


The cardboard insert that is also a backing for the statue features the map of Silent Hill. The Pink version has blood splatters across it with the Lakeside Amusement Park circled. The Blue version however is almost covered entire in blood and is barely view-able. 
The statue itself is covered in flocking making him soft and fuzzy, this adds a more realistic feel to him being a soft toy or costume. He stands at approximately 34cm high and comes with a round base that is similar to the base that also comes with Heather. Unlike other releases from Gecco Robbie is also free standing so if you prefer you can keep Robbie off his base. I really like the amount of detail that has been put into making this statue. His face features blood stained cheeks and a shiny mouth and nose. His eyes are perfectly painted and have a glossy look which creates a small amount of innocence to this sinister bunny.

The colour of his bowtie will either be green or yellow dependant on which Robbie you own but both will be blood stained. The buttons on his overalls are gold and shiny and although Robbie has blood all over him, these are untouched. His overalls also have a zip at the back right above a small round fuzzy tail. 
The chainsaw that is included also contains a large amount of detail. As you can see from the pictures it is also bloodstained and worn looking. The Chainsaw that is included with the Pink Robbie has the words "To you my dear" engraved across it. The Blue Robbie chainsaw has the words "Your Fingerpost". The lettering is actually carved into the blade and not printed onto it which I feel makes them stand out much more than if they were printed. 
As with Heather and the Bubble Head Nurses, Robbie also comes with a steel pipe, but lets be honest, a chainsaw is much cooler right? 
The weapons need to have plastic wrapped around them before placing them into Robbie's hand, this is to avoid the flocking from coming off. Although even with the plastic I found it difficult to place the weapons into his hand. 
If you were lucky enough to pre-order Robbie from Amiami.com and paid a small amount more for him, your Robbie also came with a tin of Green Tea. The tin features Robbie the Rabbit artwork and contains information about the rabbit himself. Luckily the exclusive tea version appears back in stock every now and again so if you're after this version keep checking Amiami as you may be in luck.

I must admit that out of all the Silent Hill statues released by Gecco so far, the Robbie statues are by far my favorite. The amount of detail is outstanding and the adding flocking effect makes this statue a real must have for any fan. The initial Robbie statue design did have a more splattered blood effect across his face whereas the official release features a more symmetrical design and although there have been a few complaints because I this, I really do not mind his new look. 
If you're still to purchase a Silent Hill statue this is definitely the one to buy to kick start your collection. After taking pictures for this review I ended up placing the Robbie's back into their boxes as they really do look great in or out of them.
If you're after your very own Robbie you can grab him from Amiami.com or for those of you outside of Japan, Robbie is due to be released worldwide May 2014. You can pre-order and get more information on where to purchase him from thefollowing distributors :

Diamond Comics Distributors Inc. (USA)
Kolektakon LLC (USA)
Abysse Corp (France)
Fantasiland (Italy)
HEO GmbH (Germany)
ILOVETOYZ, INC (Korea)

Insert Coin Clothing Silent Hill 2 Range Review

1/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
In 2013 Insert Coin Clothing announced a Silent Hill range inspired by Silent Hill 2. 
The range consisted of three t shirts and a James Sunderland replica jacket, the entire range is official Silent Hill merchandise.
In August they released the Historical Society and Lakeview Hotel t-shirts at a price of £22 each and in December came the Radio Repair T shirt and Jacket.
Insert coin Clothing also have a 3 for 2 offer which allows you to buy all three t shirts and get one free. 

Luckily I have managed to get my hands on the new range and I have to admit im impressed!

The Silent Hill Historical Society T-shirt comes on a plain white t-shirt and has a very simple design, simple yet effective. 
As you can see from the images the image on the front is of quite possibly the most famous creature from Silent Hill; Pyramid Head.
Underneath this image are the words 'Silent Hill Historical Society 20th Anniversary Celebration' and the years '1993-2003'

The Lakeview Hotel t-shirts come on a dark blue t shirt and features a stamp-print style image of the hotel in front of Toluca Lake. The words 'Lakeview Hotel Toluca Lake' are printed in the centre of the image. The one thing I really like about this t shirt is that it looks kind of like a souvenir, something you would get from visiting the hotel. 

Both T-shirts are available in sizes Small right up to Triple Extra large and are printed on 60% Polyester and 40 cotton.  Both of these t-shirts were released in August 2013.
Picture
The first two t-shirts were released separate to the Jacket and Radio Repair t-shirt and were not made available until December 2013.

Any Silent Hill fan will know that one of the most sort after item's has to be the original James Sunderland Jacket. It was released in 2001 and only 250 were made. So when Insert Coin Clothing announced it was going to release its very own James Sunderland Jacket 12 years later, it got the Silent Hill community a buzz!

The Jacket was made available mid December and luckily mine arrived on Christmas Eve. 

The jacket is in mid green and features all of the famous patches James has on his jacket. Three patches on the two chest pockets and two on both arms. 
The jacket features 4 front pockets and a button/zip up front. 
Unlike the original James jacket, this jacket does not feature the 'Silent Hill 2 logo on the left side pocket. Upon unzipping the jacket I was surprised to see that it has no inside padding and a very thin inlay. Unlike the t-shirts, the info tag is stitched inside the jacket and not printed. I do like this jacket and is has made a great additional to my collection however with it being thin and tight on the arms I doubt ill be wearing this very much. 

When comparing the original jacket with the new release it is easy to see the differences just by looking at it, the missing front patch and the sizes (although that patch was never part of James Sunderland Jacket anyway) the thickness, colour and also weather-ability. I could see myself nice and warm while battling a snow storm in the 2001 release but would be soaked in the new release.

For £60 this is a great jacket, its stylish and well fitted and a great addition for any collector. For those expected an exact replica of its predecessor, this isn't it.  

The Jacket is available in sizes Small to triple extra large and is currently sold out. However for those of you wanting to get your hands on one fear not as it is due to return this year!

What's going on with that Radio? Insert Coin Clothing Radio Repair T shirt Review

1/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
When dealing with such a huge and beloved franchise like “Silent Hill”, there’s a plethora of material to use when producing merchandise. One of Insert Coin Clothing’s most recent release of Silent Hill products has incorporated one of the franchise’s most iconic quotes into it’s latest “must have” TShirt. 

 “What’s going on with that radio?” 
This was the immortal line from the original 1999 game that started a franchise not to be messed with. What better way to celebrate this moment than with a piece of merchandise that could be adorned by any loving fan of “Silent Hill”?

The newly released “Radio Repairs” TShirt comes in a Pyramid Red colour, which is a colour that, to my knowledge, has never been used before for a Silent Hill TShirt. It works really well with the stylized Radio image that is shown on the front of TShirt, and if anyone is interested, the tshirt works perfectly if worn underneath the brand new Officially Licensed Insert Coin Sunderland jacket, reviewed HERE. 

The TShirt itself is 40% cotton, 60% polyester and feels great. It comes in sizes Small to 3xLarge, which is a very good range and should accommodate most people. I got the Small size, which fitted perfect. I don’t know if other people who own it will find this as well, but to me the TShirt is quite long in length. Sometimes I find this a negative because that extra material just gets in the way, but with this TShirt it was fine. You can wear it tucked into jeans without fear of it popping out, or just wear it loose over your belt. I’m no fashion expert but I’m sure you can rock both styles if you want.  

On the inside of the shirt is a washing label, which has the SILENT HILL 2 logo printed on the reverse of it. Even though the immortal line “What’s going on with that radio?” was uttered in the very first game and not the second game, a static radio makes appearances in nearly all of the Silent Hill games (1, 2, 3, 4, Arcade, Origins).

It’s immensely rare nowadays to find any range of “Silent Hill” merchandise. The gaming franchise has nearly dried up and with the news of a third film almost gone extinct it’s refreshing to see companies like Insert Coin produce a line of clothing dedicated to the series. I hope they continue, because so far their other TShirts have been awesome – and clearly designed by people who know and appreciate the franchise. Read more about the “Silent Hill Historical Society” TShirt HERE and the “Lakeview Hotel” TShirt HERE.

Priced at only £22, this TShirt is very reasonable and very well produced for the price. Available HERE from Insert Coin, and while you are at it why not take a look at their other “Silent Hill” TShirts, to take advantage of their current 3 for 2 on all tshirts deal. 

The last time I visited Silent Hill, I was on vacation with my Uncle James. We agreed that when we got there we would just go our separate ways and do our own thing, cause really we had nothing in common – and he had gone a bit loopy after Aunt Mary went missing.

The first thing I wanted to do while in town was visit Rosewater Park. I’d read in all the pamphlets that it was a lovely place. Unfortunately by the time it took to get there it was a far too foggy to appreciate the surroundings however whilst there I did find a little radio. The vintage wireless was lying on one of the park benches, and there was nobody around, so I took it and put it in my rucksack. Hey, don’t judge me - finders keepers!

I left the park not long after finding the radio, and realised I hadn’t eaten since that morning, so I checked my map and headed for The Lucky Jade Restaurant. It was while on my way there that it happened… The radio started crackling and hissing with static from inside my backpack. It really freaked me out, and when I stopped to take the radio out of my rucksack I saw a dark shadow of a figure dart across the street through the fog, and head towards me. I didn’t stay long to see what the figure was; I grabbed my backpack and started running in the opposite direction.

I stopped when I came to a Gas Station. There was a man standing outside the old run down shack. He was about middle aged, unshaven with a grey baseball cap on. I hurried up to the old man, and bent over to catch my breath.
“What’s wrong son?” He asked, his voice was deep and sounded as if he wasn’t from around these parts.
“There was something in the fog. Something chasing me.” I panted.
And then the crackling sound started from my rucksack again. I swung the bag off my shoulder and took the radio from out of it.
“What’s going on with that radio?” The man asked.
“I don’t know,” I replied “It must be broken.”
“I can fix it for you.” The man said, grabbing the radio from me and rushing inside the gas station. I followed him inside, and watched as he barricaded the front door with an old plank of wood.

After a lot of clanking of tools and a lot of hissing from the static radio, the man appeared from the back room of the gas station.
“Well son… I’ve fixed the radio. No more static, no more worries.” He took his hands from out behind his back and handed me the radio, along with a TShirt.
“Be careful out there son, this town holds a lot of nightmares for a lot of people.”

Ten Reasons why you should be excited for Silent Hill Requiem

12/26/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
Silent Hill Requiem is a fan film that focuses on the events that occurred after Silent Hill 3. The story once again focuses on Heather (Played by Della Day) and her return to Silent Hill. The film is made by ZenithFilms and is directed by Gareth Morgan.

This week I was fortunate to be able to see a 'Work in progress' first look at the short film and I have to admit I was not disappointed at all. ZenithFilms have been releasing quite a few posters and details to promote this film and just from the very first poster that was released I was excited to see this film. 
This is one Silent Hill fan film that you should be extremely excited about as it is like no other and here's why:

Heather;
One thing we can all agree on is that Heather is one of the greatest protagonists to grace any of the Silent Hill games and so to see her return for even more action is a real treat.

Visuals;
Requiem is visually stunning. The entire film is dark and eerie, which is pretty much perfect for any Silent Hill film. Unlike other fan films, this one has a unique look and appearance which is evident from the posters as well. Even the camera angles are hauntingly similar to those in the game.

Easter Eggs;
One of the things that I really liked from seeing this film is the number of Easter Eggs. Right from the very beginning we are treated to a small hint at Silent Hill 4 and they don't stop there. 

Della Day;
Day is perfect as Heather. She really does pull her off perfectly. Need I say more?

Music;
Silent Hill Requiem features music that all Silent Hill fans will recognise. No original pieces here, this is one film that is Silent Hill through and through.

Surprises;
With the images and posters that had been released on line I assumed Requiem was going to be a short film about Heather and a fight with a nurse. I was totally wrong, this film contains a hell of a lot more than that. 

Fans;
The great thing about this film is that Gareth has teamed up with so many different Silent Hill fan Facebook pages and websites to help promote this film. The film has been made by fans for the fans and it really is 'One for the fans'. It is evident that a lot of love and time have gone into making this film and it really is an amazing piece of work.

Posters;
Zenith Films has released quite a number of posters for Silent Hill Requiem. The posters alone are a work of art and would look great on anyone's wall. Hopefully one day we see them outside a cinema!

Replay;
You won't be able to watch this film just once. As soon as I had seen it I had to watch it again and I have only seen a work in progress! The final cut is going to have a hell of a lot of replays.

It's not over;
The release of Silent Hill Requiem is not yet finalised however plans for a kickstarter campaign are already in the works. If Requiem does well (which I know it will) a full length film will hopefully happen too. By the end of SHR I wanted more, no, I NEEDED more, so this needs to happen!

Silent Hill Requiem is due to be released sometime early in 2014 and it is definitely one you should look out for. Requiem is a very unique film that is surely going to make any Silent Hill fan very happy indeed!
