At SDCC 2024, Gecco offered an update on its Bloodborne Amygdala figure designed to be hung on a wall. The new version has extra eyes and hair on its head, compared to the one shown in February 2024.

The design of the wall hanging is supposed to resemble the Amygdala’s Chamber area in Nightmare Frontier where the Great One could be fought. We can see the boss emerging from a frame and on a tower. This latest prototype seems to have the same number of hands and tentacles as the original. However, it also has bulging eyes and spikes that weren’t present in the past sample. There are also more details on the back of the beast and on the tower.

Here are all the photos Gecco shared from SDCC 2024.

To compare, here’s the February 2024 prototype of Amygdala. At the time, Gecco noted that was only a “temporary 3D print-out.” It wasn’t a full prototype.

Bloodborne is available worldwide for the PS4, and Gecco hasn't shared a possible release window for the Amygdala Wall-Hanger Statue figure just yet. While there's no new game in that line, the PC fanmade title Nightmare Kart is inspired by it.

At SDCC 2024, Gecco brought a number of Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill: The Short Message figures of characters like the Shiba Inu dog, Robbie the Rabbit, and Sakura Head. While the Dog End bank and Sakura Head will be out in 2024, the various Robbie the Rabbit ones won’t show up until 2025.

This is the latest appearance of some items Konami first announced back in May 2024. First, here’s the latest look at the Inu-End Scale Coin Bank Statue. Gecco’s photos show it from multiple angles and highlight where James and Maria are on the dog’s map. As a reminder, it will cost 32,000 yen (~$208) and launch in December 2024.

Next, two photos of the Silent Hill: The Short Messages Sakura Head figure appeared. This is the 1/6 figure coming out in November 2024. Gecco noted this prototype of the 54,780 yen (~$357) figure came straight from the factory. One of the photos is taken from the side, to offer a better look at the fence and base.

Of all the Silent Hill items on display at Gecco’s booth, the company shared the most photos of the Robbie the Rabbit prototypes. There will be six of them launching in 2025. The Mini Pink and Blue Set, which features both mascots wielding Stick of Princess Heart wands, will only be at the Sweet Factory Souvenir Shop. All of the new rabbits will come with at least one weapon pulled from Silent Hill 3. The black one has a Beam Saber, the blue NEO figure gets a Yellow Chainsaw, the pink NEO one could hold either a Memory of Alessa Knife or Silver Pipe, and the red one wields a Great Knife.

In 2020, other Robbie the Rabbit styles originally appeared.

Silent Hill 2 Remake will come out on October 8, 2024 for the PS5 and Windows PC. Silent Hill: The Short Message is out now on the PS5. The Silent Hill 2 Inu-End Coin Bank Statue launches in December 2024, the Silent Hill: The Short Message Sakura Head figure will appear in November 2024, and the Silent Hill 3 new Robbie the Rabbit figures launch in 2025.

Konami and Gecco opened pre-orders for the new scaled figure depicting the Metal Gear Solid Cyborg Ninja, Frank "Gray Fox" Jaeger, during his final battle at Shadow Moses. People living anywhere worldwide can place an order for $359.99. The 1/6 scale statue will stand at around 300 mm (~11.81 inches).

Gecco had previously released a statue of the Cyborg Ninja with the same scale in 2019. While the previous version depicted the character in his complete form, this new version will replicate the moment right after he took a hit from Metal Gear REX during the decisive battle at Shadow Moses. As a side note, Kotobukiya's 1/100 scale model kit of Metal Gear REX also includes a miniature figure of the Cyborg Ninja that lets the owner replicate the same event.

The Final Battle edition will show extensive damage to the Cyborg Ninja's left side. Other than the damage to the helmet and Gray Fox's face, this statue will also depict the complete lack of his left arm.

Here are some of the sample images for the new statue:

This scaled statue is inspired by the final battle sequence in the 1998 PlayStation game Metal Gear Solid. In October 2023, Konami released the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 compilation that includes this game on the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Gecco will release the Metal Gear Solid Cyborg Ninja -The Final Battle Edition- 1/6 scale figure between August 2024 and October 2024.

Gecco revealed a new statue featuring the Missionary from Silent Hill 3. The 1/6 scale statue will stand at around 24 cm (~9.45in) tall. It will have a price tag of 42,000 yen (~$281).

Gecco has also opened pre-orders for the statue on the Sweet Factory Souvenir Shop. People residing in North America will also have more outlets to place orders, as Sideshow, Ultra Tokyo Connection, and Diamond Comics have also been confirmed as distributors for the region. D4TOYS will handle the statue's distribution in other countries worldwide.

Here are some of the sample images for the Missionary statue:

The Missionary is a creature that appeared as one of the bosses in Silent Hill 3. Konami released the third mainline entry in the series for PlayStation 2 and PC in 2003. It is yet to be known whether Konami will re-release or remake this entry, even as it is working on a Silent Hill 2 remake for PlayStation 5 and PC.

Many other statues based on Silent Hill series characters have also appeared from Gecco in the past. The brand previously revealed Silent Hill 2 statues modeled after James Sunderland in late March 2023 and Pyramid Head in November 2022. Gecco is not the only manufacturer of the series' statues, as Numskull also released a ten-inch statue of Silent Hill 3's Heather Mason in late 2023.

Gecco will close pre-orders for the Silent Hill 3 Missionary 1/6 scale statue on April 8, 2024. It will ship the finished statues between July 2024 and September 2024.

Masahiro Ito shared some details of his involvement with a new Silent Hill 2 Pyramid Head (Red Pyramid Thing) figure. This particular statue of Pyramid Head is from Gecco, and it started shipping out between 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.

Figure and merchandise manufacturer Gecco announced a new 1/6 scale statue of James Sunderland, the main character of Silent Hill 2. The figure costs 42,000 JPY (roughly $316 USD), and it is expected to release between August and November 2023. Pre-orders for it are open now at the Gecco online store and the Sweet Factory online store. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

A scale of 1/6 means that the new James figure is approximately 12 inches tall (or 31cm). In addition, it can hold some of the iconic weapons that he uses in Silent Hill 2, such as a wooden plank, a handgun, a steel pipe, a shotgun, and Pyramid Head’s Great Knife. This is the second figure based on a character from the game created by Gecco, with the first one being the imposing and emblematic Pyramid Head.

James’ worn-out military jacket is reproduced faithfully, down to the patches and his breast pocket flashlight. The base of the figure also includes some used health items. Gecco also revealed Maria as the third figure in the series, which can be displayed alongside James’ figure to recreate their first meeting in Rosewater Park.

However, Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka will be involved in the development of the game. Additionally, the announcement also featured a short cinematic trailer. It included a look at how certain scenes from the original game will appear in the remake.

A little bit of Silent Hill will seep into the real world starting in November 2020. Gecco has announced a collaboration with Konami that will give people an opportunity to bring some Silent Hill 3 rabbit figures home. A total of six Robbie the Rabbit designs have been announced and will begin appearing in November 2020. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

These Silent Hill 3 rabbit figures will be rolled out gradually, with about two available in each window. All of them are 95mm flocked characters, so they’re slightly soft and fuzzy, and cost $29.99 each. Each one also comes with one weapon. So between November and December 2020, the pink Robbie the Rabbit with steel pipe and wooden plank and white one with an axe will be available. The green Robbie with a circular saw and purple one with a rifle will appear between December 2020 and January 2021. Finally, the blue one with a chainsaw and yellow one with a maul will be out between January 2021 and February 2021.

In addition to the Silent Hill 3 rabbits, there will be another accessory. A $17.99 stretcher designed to fit one character will be available. It will show up alongside the first two rabbits in November-December 2020 for $17.99. It has rolling wheels and, at 85mm long, can hold one bunny.
