Masahiro Ito Talked About Silent Hill 2 Pyramid Head Figure

Masahiro Ito March and May 2023.

Gecco describes this figure as a statue that recreates details the Silent Hill 2 team wanted on Pyramid Head, but could not put on the in-game model due to the PlayStation’s technical limitations. Because it’s wielding a long spear, it looks more like the executioner from Silent Hill’s in-game history. Other details include open wounds, torn clothing, and a rough texture on his iconic pyramid helmet. It also looks like the helmet broke at some point, and he fixed it up with a patch of leather.

Here are some more pictures of the Pyramid Head statue:

This is the only Pyramid Head (Red Pyramid Thing) statue that Ito has supervised in an official capacity. As a reminder, Masahiro Ito was the art director and monster designer of Silent Hill 2. He still Tweets stories about the development of the game, alongside his daily life (such as a recipe for toast) and art. According to his Twitter , Gecco started working on this statue in 2014 and Ito received pay for both supervision and the box art. One of the pre-order bonuses was also a booklet containing sketches for this model, which Ito drew.

The Red Pyramid Thing statue from Silent Hill 2 is available to order via Gecco. It costs 42,000 JPY ($280.85) and stands at 340 millimeters tall, as it’s a 1/6 scale.
