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!

More info on the Comic Con Panel

Posted By: Whitney   July 10th, 2012 | 5:52 pm

Michael J. Bassett updated his blog today with more information on the Comic Con Panel this Saturday. No trailer will be shown but we will get to see two clips from the movie including a new monster and con goers can pick up a SH poster souvenir for attending the panel! Bassett will also be doing autographs later in the day I’m super excited!

…Then Saturday is all about Silent Hill 2. Interviews and press from first thing until the end of the day. The big event is a presentation in Hall H at 12:45. We’ve only got half an hour so it’s not exactly going to be in depth. But I’m going to show 2 clips from the movie in 3D. Sadly no trailer yet…they want to premiere that online in a few weeks. Of the clips, one is a sequence with a new monster and the other sees the return of some old favourites. The difficulty really is that the Hall H crowd is a family audience and there’s not a lot from Silent Hill that’s really fun that little kids who are waiting for the Hobbit, can watch. Adelaide Clemens is going to be there and Kit Harington was coming but he’s broken his ankle so isn’t going to be making the journey now. Damn shame for me and the Game of Thrones audience, who I’m sure would love to have seen their ‘John Snow’. The Silent Hill distributors (Open Road Films) have made up a souvenir Comic-Con International only poster for the event which we’ll be giving away – it’s a very cool and striking image. And I’ll be hanging around in the afternoon to sign stuff before heading out to do some more interviews and things.

Book of Memories RoH Podcast Interview

Posted By: Whitney   June 25th, 2012 | 12:27 pm

I joined Cj on the Rely on Horror podcast, Whispers in the Dark, to interview Tomm Hulett and Adam Tierney, the producer and director of Silent Hill: Book of Memories, respectively.

It was a lot of fun and we discovered new insight into the upcoming Vita title including their thoughts on the fan reactions, new gameplay features and the game’s inception. I have to say after this interview I’m a lot more excited for this title then I ever was before.

To listen to the interview head over to the Rely on Horror website!

Silent Hill 2 85/100 of G4’s Top 100 Games Of All Time

Posted By: Whitney   June 13th, 2012 | 11:47 pm

Silent Hill 2 was ranked 85/100 in top video games of all time. What do you guys think?

http://www.g4tv.com/top-100/411/silent-hill-2/

Personally I think it should of rank much higher on the list (top 20’s at least!) considering how much the tile resonates with fans after all these years. It’s personally my second favorite Silent Hill title. Sure the gameplay could be better but I rank it above Excite Bike!

I hope Silent Hill 1 and Deadly Premonition makes the list…
