Silent Hill: Defeated a Fan Card Game

Posted By: Whitney   September 8th, 2012 | 10:55 am

Own a deck of Silent Hill Homecoming playing cards? Why don’t you give this card game by Don Riddle a try!

Silent Hill: Defeated is a free, unofficial, print-and-play card game designed for use with Silent Hill-themed playing cards (not included) to play a game more thematically linked to the popular survival-horror videogame. The card deck is a “poker” deck with 2 Jokers, but the splitting of the deck’s artwork between Monsters (Black suits) and Heroes (Red suits) led to the design of Silent Hill: Defeated. The game could conceivably be played with any “poker”-style deck, but the Silent Hill deck from Great Eastern Entertainment is highly recommended.

The gameplay is like Silent Hill meets Uno. You start the game by drawing 7 cards and your goal is to get rid of all the cards in your hand. You do this by “challenging” the top card of the discard pile. Sometimes that card is a Monster and you will need a Hero to fight it. Sometimes, it’s the other way around. The Heroes (red-suited cards) and Monsters (black-suited cards) have different rules and play a little differently, but in the end you have to combine both strategies in order to empty your hand of cards, which allows you to finally escape the twisted place called… Silent Hill.

Check out the full rules here!

Toymunkey’s painted Pyramid Head statue is a thing of beauty

Posted By: Whitney   August 4th, 2012 | 5:38 pm

I received quite a surprise in my email inbox this afternoon, a press release and photos from Toymunkey studio regarding their painted Pyramid Head statue:

Toymunkey Studios Silent Hill Red Pyramid Thing Painted!!! / Pending Approval

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 shown in unpainted form at Comicon 2012, this debut release promises to capture all the horror and suspense of the original series. These incredibly detailed prepainted 1/6 scale figures are constructed of durable PVC and are due this Fall/Winter. More products will be shown soon!

Just recently unveiled at Wonder Festival Japan for the first time, the painted RPT is represented in all his horrific glory! These official pictures of the Painted RPT are still PENDING APPROVAL by Licensor and may differ slightly from the final product as the masterful paintwork is complete and is approved. Please stay tuned for more official pictures and approved work in future updates!

Please follow us on Twitter and Facebook for a series of announcements and updates.

Toymunkey Studios….A LVL-UP in Toys!

I was very impressed with the unpainted version of the statue I saw in person at Comic Con and I have to say that the painted version is just glorious! I didn’t think I could get any more excited! Pyramid Head looks like he just stepped out of the game and the details in the paint job is just phenomenal! Look at the rust on the the Great Knife and the blood specks on Pyramid Head’s boots!

Gecco Corp’s paint job is a million times better than the official Konami Style HEADLONG Pyramid Head released just two years ago whose paint job was so uninspired, wash out, flat, and dull. The paint job did not do HEADLONG’s amazing sculpture justice. Just compare the paint jobs on the helmet between Konami Style’s 2010 HEADLONG and this Gecco painted HEADLONG. Gecco’s paint job is in a league of it’s own with the use of variations of red, black and browns used recreate Pyramid Head’s rusted helmet while Konami Style’s is just a dull rust orange. Really the two just can’t compare! I am very, very pleased!

I’m amazed that after all these years we are finally getting some affordable high end Silent Hill collectibles domestically…it’s a dream come true!

I know what I’m asking Santa for Christmas this year! 😉

So what do you guys think? Planning on adding Pyramid Head to your collections?

My New Silent Hill Collection Video

Posted By: Whitney   May 2nd, 2011 | 8:58 pm

Okay this really isn’t any official Silent Hill news but I thought I would share my new collection video:

I made my first collection video two years ago on my other youtube account, porkbun82, which later grew into 4 part videos total. Recently, I was inspired to redo my collection video with everything I have found so far and cut down on my number of videos and decided to upload it on my main SH and DP website youtube account. Please note this collection did not happen over night! I’ve been collecting items from Silent Hill since 1999…well if I’m honest I didn’t seriously start collecting until 2004 when I realized that there were more than just soundtracks, games, and guides.

Konami SH:Homecoming Bogeyman Statue For Pre Order

Posted By: Whitney   April 19th, 2011 | 4:58 pm

There’s an official Konami Style Silent Hill: Homecoming Bogeyman resin statue up for pre-order in Japan (which is a little little strange considering the Homecoming game was never published in that region.) The Bogeyman statue along with the Pyramid Head and Valtiel statues released several months back makes this Konami’s third official Silent Hill monster statue release to date.

According to the Konami Style website, Bogeyman will release on May 5 with a mighty expensive retail price of 29,400 yen (about $357 USD)! For those outside of Japan who wish for a Bogeyman of their very own, no need to fret, he is also up for pre-order over at Mio Boutique but with a bit of a markup for 31,500 yen (about $382). Continue reading to see some more shots of this incredibly detailed statue.

Akira Yamaoka’s Silent Hill Guitar Up for Auction

Posted By: Whitney   March 29th, 2011 | 6:06 pm

Want to own a piece of Silent Hill history? Now’s your chance! The Play For Japan campaign, a video game industry initiative to raise money for earthquake and tsunami relief in Japan, has put Akira Yamaoka’s guitar for auction!

Silent Hill Fans! You’re bidding on an extremely special guitar. This Yamaha APX-15FM acoustic electric guitar was purchased by Akira Yamaoka, producer and composer of the Silent Hill series of games, shortly before he began work on the first Silent Hill game. Akira composed the first soundtrack on this guitar, and then used it to compose every Silent Hill soundtrack he worked on thereafter. The SOUL of Silent Hill resides within this guitar. There’s a high possibility that it’s haunted!

The guitar also comes with two effects amps used while making the game soundtracks; a Line 6 FB4 and a Line 6 POD. Akira says that using these amps you can recreate any sound from the Silent Hill series!

This guitar was also used by Akira at the Video Games Live series of concerts!

When we asked Akira if he was willing to put his Silent Hill ‘mojo’ up for auction, he replied that it was a small thing compared to the losses the people of Touhoku suffered due to the earthquakes and tsunamis.

The winning bidder will also receive a personalized autograph on the guitar from Akira.

Truly, this is a special, sentimental auction, and it would make a wonderful addition to any musician or Silent Hill fan’s collection. Don’t miss out on a chance to own a piece of gaming history!

Silent Hill Series:

  • Silent Hill
  • Silent Hill 2
  • Silent Hill 3
  • Silent Hill 4
  • Silent Hill: Origins
  • Silent Hill Homecoming
  • Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

The biding is already up to $1,300…makes me wish I was richer!
