Robbie the Rabbit is from the video game series Silent Hill. His first appearance was in the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 3. Even today, the game is widely considered one of the better entries in the series, and is a direct sequel to the original Silent Hill game. Robbie is the mascot of Lakeside Amusement Park, one of the terrifying locations from the game. Robbie the Rabbit is seen in various locations throughout the game, his blood splattered appearance adding to already tense scenes. In later games, Robbie appears as a doll, an enemy and even a tour guide. Robbie even appeared in the film Silent Hill: Revelations.
Gecco has produced multiple different color versions of the Robbie the Rabbit statue. The statue was released in both pink and blue variants were released a few years ago. This year, they released a new green variant.The green variant is available exclusively via D4Toys.com. It’s priced at $155 and they still have it in stock.

Overall
Robbie comes packaged in a stylish and eerie window box. The box is modeled after an attraction feature for Lakeside Amusement Park. On one side of the box is information on the history of Silent Hill and Robbie the Rabbit. The statue sits inside a resealable clamshell tray. The statue requires very minor assembly. You need to attach Robbie to the base, and then can choose whether to display him with the chainsaw, the steel pipe or without any weapon. Also in the package is a diorama backdrop featuring a map of Silent Hill.
Robbie stand about 13″ tall. The costume features flocking to simulate the texture of fur. The flocking itself is fairly subtle, but looks great in hand. Flocking can be tricky to maintain, as anything that rubs against it can cause the flocking to rub off. This can be especially troubling in cases like this, where the inside of the hands are flocked, and Robbie can hold different accessories. Gecco actually anticipated this and included two pieces of acetate that can be used to protect the flocking on the inside of the hands.I chose not to use the acetate, and didn’t experience any issues with the flocking rubbing off.
The sculpt itself is great, matching the game almost perfectly. There are a lot of nice touches, such as folds and wrinkles in the costume, making it look like someone is wearing it. The overalls have a realistic dungaree texture to them.. with the buttons having a nice metallic sheen. The thing that turns this statue from cut to creepy is the large amount of blood splatter here. The huge smear across its smiling face and splatters on his tie and overalls is enough to make your stomach turn. While the pipe is simply a vac metal piece of PVC, the chainsaw is filled with extremely intricate details.
I’m always up for creepy cool horror collectibles, and Robbie is about as macabre as they come. It will likely only appeal to hardcore fans of the game. Check out over 40 high resolution photos, and decide for yourself.
