This past April Gecco announced that they had two new Silent Hill statues in the works: Red Pyramid Thing with the Great Spear and another un-named character which turns out is another Robbie this time green!
(nope see update below!)
This new Robbie will release in March 2016 for $150 and will be distribution outside of Japan through D4Toys. Like the other three color variations released in 2014 he will come with a stand, pipe (hmm it’s gold…wonder if the Sewer Fairy gave it to him?) and chainsaw.
While I’m always excited for new Silent Hill merchandise I have to admit I’m a bit disappointed that this new statue is just a fourth Robbie color variation. I was really hoping for another character…. like say another protagonist? Or a different creature? I still reeeeeaaaalllly want a Twin Victim from Silent Hill 4 or a Closer from Silent Hill 3.
What do you guys think? Will you be adding this green Robbie to your collection?

Figure features
The head, arms and legs are covered with flocking. The fur is recreated with the right length of flocking so that it looks and feels exactly like the real costume. The painted blood on the flocking was a real challenge to achieve, but the hard work paid off, making this a truly unique collectible.
A steel pipe is included with the statue allowing the collector to display the statue as he appears in the video game as “Killer Rabbit.”
Also included is the vicious chainsaw weapon, covered with blood as it appeared in “Silent Hill 2” as a secret weapon, with the words “Together we are one” written across the blade.
The base is modeled after “Lakeside Amusement Park” made of wire mesh and steel plate.
Rust and puddles of blood are realistically painted on it.
About Robbie the Rabbit
Robbie the Rabbit is the mascot of “Lakeside Amusement Park” and featured prominently in the world of Silent Hill 3.
When Heather visits the amusement park, she finds the rabbit costumes laying on the ground, their mouths covered in blood. Unsure if someone is inside dead or alive, she approaches with caution.
Robbie also appears in later Silent Hill releases and because of his popularity is not only the mascot of Lakeside Amusement Park but the whole series of Silent Hill as well!
In the bonus movie “兎 usagi” included with the DVD “Lost Memories: THE ART & MUSIC OF SILENT HILL,” multiple Robbies are thrown together in the underground filled with blood, pus and rust.
The green Robbie appears for a few seconds on the elevator going up and down in the underground. The character creator of Robbie the Rabbit, Usagi Tanaka, handled the direction, CG and editing for the short film.
[UPDATE 12/08/2015]
Gecco let me know that this Green Robbie is not the 2nd mysterious statue in the works!
“…By the way the other creature to be release next year we talked about is not this Green Robbie. It is more like creature. Please look forward to the further information.”
Woo I can’t wait! Maybe my dream of a Twin Victim or Closer is still possible? 😀
