Wow.. it’s been two years now but we finally get a peak at the long awaited Red Pyramid Thing with a Spear. Gecco had been working on this guy over three years now and I had lost hope it would ever see release until these pictures from Tokyo Comic Con popped up on my twitter feed! I wonder if we can expect a tentative release date for the US some point soon? It’s really exciting to see pictures of the prototype! I’m really looking forward to adding this bad boy to my collection. What about you guys?

Back in April 2015 I reported that Gecco Corp were working on two new statues based on characters from Silent Hill 2, one of which was Red Pyramid Thing with the Great Spear. It’s been awhile since we heard from Gecco so I sent them an email last week for an update. I was informed that they are still working on the new RPT statue prototype with Masahiro Ito. No hints on what the other SH2 statue will be yet but I’m hoping we will get some sort of update on the RPT statue soon over on their FB page!

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?

[UPDATE 12/08/2015]
Gecco let me know that this Green Robbie is not the 2nd mysterious statue in the works!

Woo I can’t wait! Maybe my dream of a Twin Victim or Closer is still possible? 😀

I received an email earlier this evening from Gecco stating that they are planning on making two new statues based on characters from Silent Hill 2.

“Red Pyramid Thing with the Great Spear” is next in the line with a brand new sculpt ( I hope Headlong will work on the sculpt) and Masahiro Ito will draw the package art once again!

Gecco unfortunately didn’t give any more details about the second statue they are planning, just that it’s “one more character from Silent Hill 2, in the same scale.”

Here’s hoping this other statue will be in the human variety! I think a Maria statue would be pretty awesome 🙂 Or maybe one of Angela holding the knife?

It will be a few months before we see a glimpse of anything as they are still working on the statue protoypes. Gecco wasn’t actually planning to announce any this so early but given that their plans leaked on twitter yesterday the company figured they might as well officially announce it!

I know I’m excited to see what they have in store though I have to admit, I was really hoping we would see something from the original Silent Hill or Silent Hill 4 in their line before more from Silent Hill 2. A Silent Hill 4 Twin Victim statue would be seriously awesome to have and given that the original is my favorite entry in the series anything from that game would send me over the moon!

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.

Now this is some wonderful news to wake up to! I received an email from Gecco Corp informing me that they have nailed down new distributors for their Heather and Robbie statues:

Gecco also informed me that most of these guys are closing pre-orders March 10th! So if you are interested in getting these statues contact your local comic shops or online shops to order soon if they are interested in them in time for the May shipment:

According to a blog post on Mamegyorai last Friday Gecco’s Robbie the Rabbit Statues, that were due out later this month, have had their released pushed back until March. I’m guessing that like the Heather statue they saw some things they could improve on in the manufacturing and needed the extra month.

This delay was also confirmed by Gecco through an email to Silent Hill Paradise and also to myself last night.

It’s sad but I’m all for delays if it means the best product in the end!

How many of you guys have Robbie pre-ordered? If you haven’t yet you can still order one over on AmiAmi:
