BUBBLE HEAD NURSE

 Last chritmas Konami released a new series of figures based on the remake of Silent Hill 2 to be used as prize in japanese claw machines. A pretty cool idea tough that for a single token and a little of gaming job you can get an official Silent Hill figure. I like the idea a lot and the price of thr market of this figures is incrediblly atractive too and of course.....wath characters are included in the collection?  Red Pyramid Thing and the Bubble Head Nurse, the only mascots of the entire series.

I want to complaing about the character selection but the fact this are based on the remae and not the original game makes them a nice variant to have on display as well. I already review Red Pyramid Thing and he was pretty damn good in my opinion, specially with that price soo i will look to the Bubble Head Nurse now.

She is bigger than the Figma and in the same scale as the Silent Hill Pop Up Parade and matches most horror collections in the market (like NECA´s or McFarlane Toys) and i am pretty sure she can stand on hr own at all but the inclusion of a base pretty much fixes that. This is a statue soo theres no movable parts or assemble requiered.

This figure is odd because.....it have the same sculpt and pose as the Gecco statue. I dont know if Gecco give the rigths od the sculpt to Konami or if Konami is the rigths owner but i find it pretty odd they recycle the pose for a figure. I mean the Pop Up Parade is in a very damn similar pose but it have some difference here and there but here, even the fingers are possed in the same angle.

We have the Nurse walking to the front in a very contorted and grotesque way while holding her iron pipe. The sculpt is perfect, i mean this is Gecco´s work soo it canot be the other way soo the fin on the head and bust size as well as all the curves are accurate to the in game model.  The nurse cap is made of soft plastic and have some nice details on the back, like pincs to hold it (tough i dont know how since theres no hair to do it), the hands are also cast on soft plastic as well as her skirt.

Theres this red metalic square where her mouth is supposed to be and after 25 years i still have no idea with it is but for some reason they always add if to the figures of this creature because in the game not all of them have this weird thing, tough i must admit the metalic red contrast pretty good with the white of the creature´s head.

Unlike Red Pyramid Thing that is full of metalic, fleshy and cottton texture, lots or rust, this girl is completelly devoided of any texture, but her skin and uniform are completelly clean of texture as well as her head but i think this really helps the figure to be more accurate since the Nurses in the game had alsways looked thing of...sintetic and not real, and the clean cheap plastic of this figure really helps achive that look.

Noth her skin and entire uniform including cap as well as her head are full of yellowish/brown stains plased completelly random and thats makes her looks realistic enough. Even her gloves are stained unlike Red Pyramid Thing ones and they fits n the overall display better. Her stockings tough are too clean as well as her high heel shoes and that mesk them stand out a little bit even with the dark color on them, they have a heavt contrast with the white of the figure.

This is pretty much the only difference between the original bubble Head Nurse and the remake ones, the stockings and high heel shoes soo this make the figure a nice variant to the rest of the collection. Her only accesory is her iron pipe that fits her hand pretty easy and also have a very good scult with a lot of details and sections that makes it looks like a functional item and the metalic cooper paint makes it looks realistic enough.

The base is as awfull as Red Pyramid Thing one, made with hollow cheap red plastic and a rock texture and a pretty random and space eating shape, the base looks a little bit out of place but like i already said, it does the job and i guess is the less imporant part of the whole figure.

This is a very simple looking figure that looks good, specially for the low price and i love it but i dont know how to feel about the recyled pose, the variety of the characters is extremelly low and having the characters in the same pose is something i dont like at all but given how hard to find is the Gecco nurse by now, i dont think not many people would notice. I just wish someday they make other creatures or characters, PLEASE, KONAMI!!!!!
