It’s been several months since theSilent Hill Transmission, and Gecco, the manufacturer behind some of the revealedSilent Hillcollectibles, is now ready to fully showcase James Sunderland’s figure. James is available for pre-order now for 42,000 yen, or $316 based on currency conversions at the time of writing. As previously shown, James is arriving in 1/6 scale, coming in at nearly a foot in height. James is set to ship between August and November of 2023, and pre-orders will close on May 31, so fans shouldn’t wait too long to get their orders in.
The James Sunderland figure can’t be posed, but like many other recent gaming statues and action figures, comes with a variety of weapons he can hold. The list includes his handgun, wood plank, pipe, and shotgun, as well as Pyramid Head’s Great Knife. The figure is the second in the newGecco line forSilent Hill 2, with Pyramid Head releasing first, and Maria set to launch sometime in the future. It remains to be seen if the figures will arrive prior to theSilent Hill 2remake, as Bloober Team hasn’t announced a release date for the title yet.
So far,Silent Hillfans seem to be cautiously hopeful about theSilent Hill 2remake, but it has a lot to live up to. Even a priorSilent Hilldeveloper has claimed that theSilent Hill 2remake is a poison chalicein that meeting fans' expectations will be extremely difficult. The pressure is likely only further increased due to the success of other survival horror classics likeDead Spaceand theResident Evilreceiving highly praised remakes. Bloober Team seems to be committed to giving the game the polish and attention it deserves, but even fans who shy away from the remake can at least enjoy these collectibles while remembering the originalSilent Hill 2with fondness.
Silent Hill 2originally released in 2001. TheSilent Hill 2remake’s release is TBA for PC and PS5.
