The Pyramid Head statue packaging is just as awesome as the statue!

Posted By: Whitney   November 7th, 2012 | 9:22 pm

Sorry I’m playing catch up here with the Silent Hill news XD I posted these pics of the Japanese packaging for the upcoming Pyramid Head statue over on the facebook page last week but neglected to post them here as well!

This packaging features a brand new Pyramid Head painting by Silent Hill 2/3 creature designer Masahiro Ito and it also doubles as a display! This box opens up to display a backdrop featuring infamous 9 save point symbol seen both on the original Japanese Silent Hill 2 cover art and right before the final showdown with the big guy!

I really hope we can get the same packaging here when the statue is released here in the US by Toymunkey!

Toymunkey Painted Bubblehead Nurse Photos

Posted By: Whitney   October 23rd, 2012 | 10:50 am

We finally have pictures of the painted Bubblehead Nurse statue from Toymunkey. As with Pyramid Head the paintjob on this is just wonderful. I particularly love the tiny details of the rust spots on the pipe and the thin veins through the nurse’s pale flesh.

I know I’ll be adding this to my collection! Heck, I might even end up getting a couple down the road to make my own nurse horde!

New Images of Toymunkey Studios’ Upcoming Pyramid Head Statue!

Posted By: Whitney   October 3rd, 2012 | 3:15 pm

Toymunkey Studios just sent me some new pictures of their upcoming Pyramid Head statue along with the vague holiday season release date. He looks fabulous, I look forward to adding him to my collection! :) Are you guys planning on purchasing the statue when it is released at the end of the year?

Toymunkey Studios in collaboration with Gecco Corp is proud to announce a new line of PVC Statues based on the popular Konami video game series and hit movie Franchise Silent Hill 2! First up, Red Pyramid Thing or “Pyramid Head” is a creature derived and manifested from dark self-punishment feelings of the protagonist “James” in Silent Hill 2, and is also based on the executioner in the original Silent Hill. He attacks not only humans, creatures, and anything else that gets in his way with the Great Knife. This vicious executioner from Silent Hill is faithfully recreated as a high quality & huge size figure standing 13 inches in PVC! The pyramid-shaped helmet is sculpted perfectly and is based on the latest model sheet specifics! Holding the Great Knife in his right hand, slaughtering anybody in a single blow with his massive weapon! Lifting a “Lying Figure” in his left hand, it’s a dynamic and sexy depiction! Look forward to this high quality statues available this holiday season!

SDCC: Silent Hill Statues from Toymunkey!

Posted By: Whitney   July 12th, 2012 | 10:38 pm

Hi Guys! I’m actually writing this while at San Diego Comic Con! I didn’t think I would have anything Silent Hill related to report until the Revelation panel on Saturday but I got quite a surprise on the dealer’s room floor this morning. It looks like not only do we have a new movie and a new game to look forward to later this year but also some sweet collector items!

Toymunkey Studios is licensing some gorgeous Silent Hill statues and has made their official launch here at the covention! At their booth they are showcasing two of their unpainted upcoming releases: a Bubblehead Nurse by Shin Tanabe and Red Pyramid Thing by Shinya Akao/HEADLONG.

I have to say the Pyramid Head holding up the Lying Figure is one of the coolest Silent Hill related statues I’ve ever seen. The little details are really incredible I especially love the rough textures on his helmet and apron. I can’t wait to see the completed painted version! I also really liked how the nurse bases connect so you can build up your own scary horde.

According to Scott Sohn, “Top Munkey” at Toymunkey Studios, these figures should be for sale around December this year with an estimated price tag of $150! I was expecting to hear that they would sale them for over $250…like the HEADLONG sculpted official Valtiel and Pyramid Head statues they sold last year in Japan through Konami Style.

I don’t have much information at this time but I have a video interview at the Toymunkey booth planned for this Sunday… so expect some more info and video footage when I get home from San Diego! Until then here’s the company’s statement about these statues from their website. Don’t forget to give their facebook page a like and follow them on twitter:

Toymunkey Studios in collaboration with Gecco is proud to announce a new line of PVC Statues based on the popular Konami video game series and hit movie Franchise Silent Hill. This debut release promises to capture all the horror and suspense of the original series.

Toymunkey Studios is excited to introduce collectors to a new world of toys and collectibles!

Please visit us in San Diego Comic-Con International at booth #4612 and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for a series of license announcements and updates in the coming days.

Toymunkey Studios….A LVL-UP in Toys!
