Medicom Toy's Robbie the Rabbit figure review

8/17/2015

0 Comments

In November 2014 Medicom Toy revealed that a Robbie the Rabbit figure was in the works and would be released in July 2015 as part of their Real Action Heroes range.

Unlike previously released Robbie merchandise, this Robbie figure would be posable. Gecco have already released three Robbie statues as well as Gaya Entertainments Robbie plush doll, so a posable figure is a great addition to any Silent Hill collection.

Robbie comes in a large display box which features various images of the figure in different poses on all sides. The front opens up to reveal additional images and a window which allows you to see directly into the box without taking him out.

He comes with an additional pair of hands, a chainsaw, a steel pipe and a clear stand for the figure to stand on.

When first opening the box, the tab has the words "Your Fingerpost from Lakeside Amusement Park". The tab, as well as the inside of the box is bright orange.

Robbie stands at around 300mm tall and is completely flocked all over. He has dark brown dungarees and a fabric green bow tie. His clothing has blood all down it as well as around his mouth. Little things I particularly like are the gold buttons on his dungarees and the tiny zip at the back.

The blood splatter on his clothing and face is much more random than with the Gecco statue which appears much more symmetrical, although it's darker in colour. One thing that kind of bugs me about the blood around his mouth is that it continues into his mouth as well which for me makes it seem like it was just thrown on without actually avoiding the inside of his mouth.

The flocking is also dirty in colour across various parts of his body, this includes his arms feet and head. At first I thought this was due to poor production and I had actually received a rather dirty item but after comments from other owners it would appear this is the case for all figures. AmiAmi did mention this in their review but it doesn't seem to be mentioned by Medicom Toy themselves which may be something that puts people off buying this.

The hands that are already attached to Robbie are able to carry the steel pipe and chainsaw via the top handle. The additional set of hands are much wider, which allows better grip on the chainsaw when trying to have Robbie hold it via the handle at the back.

His arms bend and can be moved up and down, so you can have Robbie in various poses. His legs do also move but not as much as the arms. He is able to stand without support but if you're looking for a more unusual pose, the clear stand holds him up perfectly. I noticed that when attaching him to the stand that his belly is also soft and squishy.

When comparing this figure to Gecco's statues, I have to admit that the quality of Gecco's Robbie is much higher. It's cleaner looking and also appears that they put much more care and effort into it. Medicom Toy's Robbie is a fantastic addition to any Silent Hill collection and being posable is a huge selling point for me but in terms of quality it's less than I thought it would be.

I understand that the overall look was to appear more old and worn and to give off a look that seems like he's been lying around for quite some time now. Which in reality would be the case if you stumbled into Lakeside Amusement Park but with this costing more that Gecco's products, I expected a little bit more.

A positive to his dirty look is that I don't think I would be as worried about him getting dirty if I had him out on display. Flocked items are hard to clean which wouldn't be so much of a problem with this.

AmiAmi are selling Robbie for ¥22,130 which is around £115/$178 which is actually the cheapest I have seen him for sale so far.

Gecco announce new Silent Hill statues are on the way

4/2/2015

0 Comments

Gecco have announced that more Silent Hill 2 statues are in the works and have revealed that one of these statues will be the "Red Pyramid Thing with the Great Spear".

An email I received this morning from Gecco themselves informed me that the two statues that are in the works are not quite ready to be revealed fully, as the prototypes are still yet to be completed.

We can expect two new statues from Gecco with the other yet to be revealed.

The Red Pyramid Thing statue will be 1/6 in scale and Masahiro Ito will once again be designing the package artwork.

The only reason this information was released before a prototype was even complete was due to a tweet being shared between Ito and the Gecco art director through Twitter. You can view this tween below.

The tweet translate to:

"Masahito Ito-San @ Adsk4 because me set the stage, I became a good thing to say! As Gecco new, and is preparing a 1/6 scale Statue of creature two-body than "Silent Hill 2". Was higher-requested "Sankakuatama-spear Ver", and the other piece is still secret. Masahiro Ito's full supervision!"

The second statue is still being kept a secret but I would love to see a human character, maybe James or Maria or even Angela.

With Angela being my favorite character i'm holding out it's her however I can't see this being the case.

Either way i'm excited and cannot wait to see these new statues when the prototypes are finally revealed. No release date has been announced but I'm guessing they will be available for pre-order towards the end of the year/early 2016.

Gecco have already released a total of 8 Silent Hill statues from both Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 along with a whole bunch of official T-shirts and Iphone cases. Images of these are below. I wonder if there will be any additional product releases to coincide with these statues?

What are you hoping the second statue will turn out to be?

伊藤暢達さん@adsk4 がお膳立てをしてくれたので、言っていいことになりました！Gecco新作として、『サイレントヒル2』よりクリーチャー二体の1/6スケール・スタチューを準備中です。要望の高かった『三角頭・槍Ver』、そしてもう一体はまだ内緒です。伊藤暢達さん完全監修！
