Good Smile’s Nendoroid line is a branch of posable action figures that typically come with a variety of accessories and faceplates. The series is now addingRobbie the Rabbit, the terrifying theme park mascot ofSilent Hill 3to the line-up. Robbie will come in two different colors, pink and blue, with different accessories for each. The pink Robbie includes a pipe and chainsaw, while the blue comes with a plank and circular saw.
Good Smile shared a series of images of both Robbie the Rabbits. Their paint job gives them a slightly fuzzy look, reminiscent of fur. They come with additional parts so that the two can sit down, stand, hold their weapons, and multiple faceplates let fans either make them look normal or bloody. Each Robbie stands at about 4.5 inches, costs $58.99, and they’re expected to ship in November 2022.
This isn’t the first time thatGood Smile has partnered with theSilent Hillfranchise.Silent Hillhas seen the release of some of its other horrifying creatures as Figma, the larger, less stylized posable action figures from the same company. Pyramid Head and the Bubblehead nurse fromSilent Hill 2have both received the action figure treatment.
While the actual game series has gone dormant, it’s clear thatSilent Hillcontinues to be popular.Silent Hillhas seen tie-ins with game series likeDead by Daylight, which has addedPyramid Head as a Killerand Heather/Cheryl Mason as a Survivor. Merchandise has continued to flow too, with Konami teaming up with companies like SuperGroupies to produce accessories and clothing based off of the series.
While fans of the series are likely happy that it hasn’t been completely forgotten, it’s still a far cry from the series revival fans were hoping for fromHideo Kojima’sSilent Hills. Rumors continue to indicate that something is going on withSilent Hill, but nothing concrete has been revealed yet. For now, series fans will just have to wait until Konami returns to that place;Silent Hill.
