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.

Over on the Mameyorai Blog the box artwork for the upcoming Gecco Heather and Robbie statues have been revealed! I really like the designs.

Gecco Heather Packaging

For the Heather box it looks like the Halo of the Sun will form the front window which is very reminiscent of the save screen in Silent Hill 3 the box. On the inside display the there is a bloody Seal of Metatron as seen in Brookhaven Hospital in Silent Hill 3. The back features promotional artwork of Heather in a wheelchair made by Masahiro Ito that has been used in ads for the game in the past and on the side we even get a recreation of one of Stanely’s love notes from Brookhaven Hospital introducing the staff behind the creation of the statue.

Gecco Robbie Packaging

There are three types of Robbie statues being released so there will also be three variations their packaging as well. All the boxes are set up like they are real souvenirs you might find in Sweet Factory Store in the Park! The front of the box features the sign from Lakeside Amusement Park with lights and curtains surrounding the large window. The back shows promotional artwork by Robbie the Rabbit designer, Usagi Tanaka, showing several bloody Robbie mascots in a bathtub.

The Bloodless Souvenir Version of the Robbie Statue, available only through mail over and limited to 300 pieces has packaging that is clean, bright and untouched by the Other World. The Silent Hill 3 and Robbie the Rabbit text is also white on the back artwork.

The normal bloody Pink edition of Robbie the Rabbit has both blood spattering and darkness tinging the outside of the box. The Silent Hill 3 and Robbie the Rabbit text is red on the back artwork.

The Blue version of Robbie the Rabbit only available through the Mamegyorai Store features a heavily rustier and bloody version of the box with a Blue Robbie Head on the front. On the back there’s a Blue Robbie among the mascot group and the Silent Hill 3 and Robbie the Rabbit text is red.

Hobby Search posted photos and their thoughts on a production sample of the Robbie the Rabbit Statue due out in Japan February 2014.

Looking at the photos Robbie looks a lot closer to what I saw at Comic Con than the Heather statue production photos I shared in November.

He’s looking really good and if you are looking to pre-order a Robbie still he’s still available at Hobby Search on sale for approximately $108!

Over on the Mamegyorai blog some photos of the sample production runs of Heather have been posted on Nov 1 and Nov 23.

Production Samples posted November 1

Production Samples posted November 23

Hmm from these photos I’m a little disappointed with the paint job on this statue. The promo figure they showed at Comic Con had a lot of little details that I see are missing (like the orange tops to the boots). Also her hair is way darker now especially in the Nov 23rd photos 🙁 I don’t know maybe it will look better in person? These photos may not be doing the paint job justice…

What do you guys think?

The Robbie Statues will be release in Japan February 2014 for 12,800 yen. If you pre-order Robbie from AmiAmi you will also receive an exclusive bonus of Silent Hill Green Tea! How cute!

Now there are two addition Special editions of this statue. The first is the ‘Blue Robbie’ offered exclusively at Mamegyorai (Limited to 1,000 pieces). The second, a bloodless ‘Souvenir Version’ (Limited to 300 pieces), that comes in a special Lakeside Amusement Park Packaging and available through mail order from the October issue of Figure King magazine.

I really would really love to own them all! I’ve sent an email to Toymunkey to see if the ‘Blue’ and the ‘Souvenir Version’ might be released here domestically and if we can expect a similar tea bonus from certain shops. I really hope so, importing from Japan is so very expensive!

My thoughts on the Silent Hill 3 Heather and Robbie statues I saw at Toymunkey’s booth during San Diego Comic Con 2013.

Mamegyorai updated their store website today with 27 detailed images of the upcoming Heather Statue! The site also lists that the statue will run ¥12,420 and release December this year in Japan.

Toymunkey Studios FB page updated their cover photo with a nice clear shot of the upcoming Heather statue’s face. I seriously think when this is out it will be my all time favorite Silent Hill statue. Heather is my favorite protagonist and the amount of details included is astounding, I especially love the freckles and the red rimmed eyes, it’s like she truly stepped out of the video game. I’m seriously hoping they will continue to make statues of all the Silent Hill characters (oh man I think I might die if a Lisa Garland statue was ever made)!

Over on Mamegyorai’s website they have all the new shirts and iphone cases up for order! Each shirt design has or or two different color variations too! Though before you rush out to buy them please take note that Toymunkey will be distributing these items to countries outside of Japan (at least that’s what all the pictures say…Toymunkey hasn’t made a official announcement just yet!) if you wait and order domestically you will be able to save yourself a lot of importing fees. 🙂

OMG I can’t tell you guys how excited I am about this!

With Silent Hilll 3’s 10th anniversary and the upcoming July 12th premiere of Silent Hill Revelation in Japan Mamegyorai has revealed some very cool Silent Hill themed merchandise. There will be a new Heather and Robbie statue by Gecco which I hope Toymunkey will release here later domestically! Also shown are a set of Silent Hill themed T-shirts (including a Robbie one that was released through Konami Japan years ago) as well as iPhone 5 skins with the new RPT and Bubble Head Nurse illustrations by Masahiro Ito. Apparently the T-shirts and skins will become available for order for customers in Japan on July 5 I hope we will be able to pre-order them here in the the States too. I have my fingers crossed I will get to see some of these in person at the Toymunkey booth later this month!
