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)
The Falcon's Hangar (Singapore)

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?

Everything you need to know about Gecco's forthcoming Robbie the Rabbit Statue's

2/5/2014

Last month (January 14) the much sort after Heather figure from Gecco was released and fortunately for us we're in store for yet another Silent Hill release in March. This time being the Silent Hill 3 Robbie the Rabbit Statue.

Once again produced by Gecco, Robbie will be available in a total of 3 variants, although getting your hands on all three may be a difficult task at hand. 

For those of you who are still deciding on whether to order Robbie or just have no idea where to start this handy guide should help you out. 

Pink Blood Stained Robbie

All three Robbie's stand at a total of 34cm tall and are 1/6 scale. The great thing about these statue are that unlike previous releases, these statues have been flocked to add a fluffy type feel and to add a more authentic soft toy look. They are made from PVC, soft vinyl and ABS. Each Robbie stands on a small circular base that is similar to the base Heather stands on. The pink, blood stained Robbie comes with a steel pipe and bloody chainsaw which has the words "To You My Dear" written on the side. 

The Pink Blood Stained Robbie is the only statue that appears to have a general release. Although its original release is within Japan, Gecco will be releasing him elsewhere as soon as a new distributor has been chosen. For those who want him now, do not worry as you can get your hands on him from AmiAmi for the price of 10,950 Japanese Yen which works out at around £66/$107.
For an additional 1000 yen you can also get yourself a small tin of Robbie the Rabbit tea via AmiAmi's exclusive version. 

The box art for this version features a bathtub of four blood stained Robbie's on the back of the box with a fairground style front. The grey area that you can see in the below image will be a clear plastic window, so you can see directly inside the box. The front of the box also has various blood stains. 

Blue Blood Stained Robbie

Unlike the pink blood stained Robbie, the blue blood stained Robbie is limited to a total of 1000 copies and if that didn't make you want him more he's also exclusive to Mamegyorai. This version is more expensive than the pink blood stained Robbie. Priced at 12,800 yen which works out at around £77/$127

Blue Robbie also comes with a steel pipe and bloody chainsaw which this time has the words "Your Fingerpost" written across it. The box art is also very similar to the original Robbie but this time is much darker. The artwork on the back has a blue Robbie amongst three Pink Robbie's and the front of the box is rusty and bloody. I really like the art work for this version.

For those of you who must get this version you can try Jauce and Yahoo Auctions Japan. Although you will most likely have to pay more for this version. I managed to pre-order this version through Jauce at a cost of 14,500 yen which is already 2000 more yen than its original price. 

Pink 'Souvenir' Robbie

The final Robbie variant is the 'Souvenir' version. This Robbie has no blood stains at all and is a much more clean version. The one big downside to this Robbie is that once again its limited to only 300. If that wasn't a blow for those who really want him, he's also only available through 'Figure King' magazine in Japan and Gecco have no plans to release him elsewhere. So unless you're lucky and stumble across him on a Japanese auction website or you know someone in Japan who could get him for you, the chance of getting this version is quite slim. 

As with the other two variants, the box features four Robbie's on the back but this time the font is in white. The front of the box also features a clear, unstained design to reflect the figure inside. Not much detail has been released for this version either so whether he comes with any weapons is unknown. 

With all three variants being released this month be sure to look out for my upcoming review on both the blood stained blue and pink Robbie statues as soon as they arrive.
