Woo! The Mameryorai Blog has uploaded some shots of the mass production versions of Gecco’s Pink and Blue (Mamegyorai Exclusive) Robbie statues. (According the to blog they will show the Bloodless Souvenir Version at a later date).

I have to say out of all the statues Gecco have produced thus far these Robbies look the closest to their original statue prototypes, don’t you think?

The packaging is gorgeous, I think I like it better than the Heather Box art, I especially love the use of the map as the statue backdrop.

The only small thing that concerns me is the fact there seems to be 3 variations of blood splatter on Robbie’s face. I’m not fond of what I’m dubbing the “Rosy Cheeks” splatter seen in most of the pictures posted… I much prefer the splatter seen in the two Robbie’s in the left of the group picture below. This wouldn’t be an issue if I could pick my statue in person from a store but since I pre-ordered mine from an online shop I’m not sure if I can request to have one version over another.

I’ve been informed that these aren’t variations but in fact comparison shots between the in process statue samples and the final sculpt and paint. I have to admit I’m really disappointed that the “Rosy Cheeks” is what Gecco decided to go with… it looks too symmetrical the first two tries look much better in my opinion 🙁

What do you guys think? Do you have Robbie pre-ordered already from Japan and if so what color? Which blood splatter do you prefer?

If you haven’t been able to pre-order one from Japan don’t worry we will see them (and Heather) for sale domestically sometime later this year.
