Summary
- Silent Hill 2 fans have a lot to look forward to with the upcoming Nendoroid figure of Pyramid Head, turning the monster into an adorable chibi version.
- Despite some hesitations about the upcoming remake, Pyramid Head remains iconic and is a must-have for fans eager to recreate memorable scenes from the game.
- The pre-sale phase for the Pyramid Head Nendoroid is in full swing, offering fans the chance to snag this articulated figure before its release in Quarter 2 of 2025.
Silent Hill 2's Pyramid Head is getting an articulated Nendoroid figure that makes the horrifying monster adorable instead. This Silent Hill 2 Nendoroid is one of the latest pieces of merchandise to be revealed for the game.
Silent Hill 2 has a lot of gamers' attention right now due to the remake that's rapidly approaching its release date. While many fans are hesitant about the remake, it's brought both versions of the game to the front of gamers' minds. Of course, Silent Hill 2 wouldn't be complete without the legendary Pyramid Head or Red Pyramid Thing monster, which terrorizes James Sunderland throughout his journey in the spooky town.
Now, Pyramid Head is getting a Nendoroid action figure that turns it into a chibi-style version of itself. Like with all Nendoroids, Pyramid Head has been shrunk down to just a few inches tall, looking short and squashy instead of having its usual lanky build in Silent Hill 2. The Pyramid Head Nendoroid, like other game Nendoroid releases, is articulated, allowing fans to pose Pyramid Head in iconic poses, like it skewering itself during a certain boss battle. It also includes both its Great Knife and Spear, and can hold either weapon for recreating memorable scenes from the game.
At the time of writing, Pyramid Head's Nendoroid is currently in the pre-sale phase, going for $41.99 from manufacturer Good Smile before shipping. It's not slated to release until Quarter 2 of 2025, so fans will need to wait a while to get their hands on it. Barring any last-minute complications, this also means that the Nendoroid will ship quite a while after the Silent Hill 2 remake releases.
Pyramid Head Remains Iconic
Although the creator of the monster seemingly regrets creating Pyramid Head, the terrifying creature is arguably the most-recognized thing to emerge from the entire series. The renown and popularity of Pyramid Head led to it appearing in subsequent entries like Silent Hill: Homecoming, and even the two Silent Hill movies released thus far. It will presumably also play a big role in the third Silent Hill film, which will be based off the second game. The terror of being defenseless against Pyramid Head while playing Silent Hill 2 has made it memorable, as well as the striking appearance that stands out even among the creepy Bubble Head Nurses.
Since the original Silent Hill 2 launched so long ago, latecomers to the series haven't had much of an opportunity to buy any merchandise related to the game. In advance of these new game and movie releases, though, that has changed. Even if a silly take on Pyramid Head isn't something a fan is interested in, Konami has also revealed other Silent Hill 2 merchandise, like statues, apparel, and even a Dog Ending coin bank.
