Gecko announced early in December 2015 that a new Robbie the Rabbit statue was due to be released in March the following year.
Although their Robbie the Rabbit statue already comes in three different variants, a Green version was announced with a small number of differences along with it.
The Green Robbie appears in the Usagi short film from Lost Memories: The Art and Music of Silent Hill Dvd and although he only appears briefly it would appear that brief moment was worthy of an official statue release. Not that I'm complaining of course.
As with previous reviews, I have usually talked about every aspect of the statue and its packaging, however with this review I am simply focusing on the differences. For this review I am comparing the packaging from the original Pink Robbie as well as the Pink and Blue statues themselves.

The front of the box is identical to the original pink Robbie packaging. There appears to be no differences at all, which is somewhat of a shame as the three previous releases had differences with each one. It would have been great to see another variation in the box so they look even better when all placed side by side.
The back features an image taken from the Dvd of a small number of Robbies crowded together in a elevator. You can clearly see the Green Robbie in the picture. This image is also signed by Usagi Tanaka in the lower right hand corner. The same image is also printed on the back of the info card included with every statue.
Starting with the left hand side of the box, it once again features information about the people behind the statue. The only difference here are the actual people who worked on this and the original. Whereas the right hand side is almost identical, the only difference is that they have added a small section about the short film included on the Lost Memories Dvd.

When comparing the statues side by side, the only difference is the blood and obviously his colour. With the original Pink and Blue Robbie statues, the blood was symmetrical either side of the mouth. As you can see from the pictures, the new Robbie's blood is all around his mouth and cheeks. There appear to be no other differences aside from this.
The chainsaw is in red this time instead of black or yellow with the words engraved into it being 'Together we are one'. The steel pipe is no more! This Robbie must be honest as this time he comes with a gold pipe, which I actually really like. A small easter egg in Silent Hill 3 allowed the player to obtain either a silver or gold pipe dependant on the players honesty.
You can still grab the Green Robbie from D4Toys for $155 as well as the Blue variant which was originally exclusive to Japan and is priced slightly cheaper at $140. Shipping is available worldwide.
