I got my hands on the new Red Pyramid Thing statue by Toymunkey this week! Check out my video review and interview with Toymunkey Studios below!

(more…)

Toymunkey revealed on their Facebook page today that the RPT + Mannequin Variant statue will available as a Comic Con Exclusive 7/18/2013 (In the US at least?).

Any of you planning on picking this guy up?

Still no word on when the original version of the statue will be released but there are rumors on ebay auctions that it will be sometime in June.

Today Masahiro Ito tweeted a link to his painting for the Bubblehead Nurse statue. It’s really cool! I can’t wait to add the statue to my collection!

The Toymunkey Studios Facebook page as been a buzz the last few days about the upcoming release of the Red Pyramid Thing statue. The statue has been release in Japan for the last few weeks (and there’s been several on auction sites for $200 + for sale) but there hasn’t been much information where we can put in our pre-orders domestically.

I contacted Toymunkey last night asking where fans can start placing their orders and I was informed that domestic retailers are starting to advertise the statue for sale and most comic and toy shops should have it for pre-order right now and that Tokymunkey will have a full list of retailers up on their site by the end of the year.

I’ve done some googling and have found the statue up for pre-order on these comic shop/toy sites so far:

Sorry I’m playing catch up here with the Silent Hill news XD I posted these pics of the Japanese packaging for the upcoming Pyramid Head statue over on the facebook page last week but neglected to post them here as well!

This packaging features a brand new Pyramid Head painting by Silent Hill 2/3 creature designer Masahiro Ito and it also doubles as a display! This box opens up to display a backdrop featuring infamous 9 save point symbol seen both on the original Japanese Silent Hill 2 cover art and right before the final showdown with the big guy!

I really hope we can get the same packaging here when the statue is released here in the US by Toymunkey!

We finally have pictures of the painted Bubblehead Nurse statue from Toymunkey. As with Pyramid Head the paintjob on this is just wonderful. I particularly love the tiny details of the rust spots on the pipe and the thin veins through the nurse’s pale flesh.

I know I’ll be adding this to my collection! Heck, I might even end up getting a couple down the road to make my own nurse horde!

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:

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?
