With my encounters online i found someone selling official silent hill Robbie the Rabbit Models. Have a look if your interested. I'm not promoting the auction. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Silent-Hill-ROBBIE-the-Rabbit-8-1-2-Figure-Model-Kit_W0QQitemZ250513822193QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a53c991f1

Robbie in SH2?
Hey, when I was playing silent hill 2, I was running along nathan avenue in the otherworld version of the town, to the SH hisorical society, and there was this billboard for lakeside amusement park. There was some pinkish looking animal on it, but I'm not sure on my old tv.I can't tell if it's robbie or not.--Dfskelleton 06:07, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Is this what you saw? I don't see Robbie on it though, so maybe not. -- 00:49, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Yep. That's the sign. I couldn't get James to look at it well enough, so I could only see something pink on it. Thanks.--Dfskelleton 08:06, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Why does Konami have to make cute animals look FREAKIN SCARY?

Wasn't Robbie in SH1?
Didn't Robbie appear in Silent Hill 1? The storeroom (?) of the alternate school, or something along those lines... I've not played in a while, but I'm certain that he was there - a stuffed toy stuck to the wall of the storeroom? =/ I know it was the school, and believe it was the room where you find the pink rubber ball...?

(a bit vague I know, but I'm positive it was Robbie)
 * There's a few dolls in there, but the one I think you mean does seem to have a slight pinkish color to it, and overalls. The overalls are different though, with shorter pantlegs and a lower top. The doll is also missing its head, so I think it's a bit inconclusive. There's a similar doll nearby that has peach skin, wearing similar overalls, and with his head still intact, but that one is a human doll. -- Shoggoth1890 08:27, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * What Shoggoth said. I just went and made a screencap, see below. While I can see why you'd think that, there is a similarity in the body, but there are 3 dolls and one is missing a head. They all appear to be human dolls wearing overalls, though. No indication that the headless one is a rabbit, since otherwise it looks just like the other 2 human dolls.

 * Ah, thank you. It's been a while since I last played SH1; I'll hafta find it again. Such an epic old school game... >.> sorry about jumping in as I did here; I checked your image Alchemillahospital (a great SH site btw) and indeedy you're right. :) Again sorry about the misunderstanding, Nightangelwolf 23:03, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Categorization
Personally, I think the Categories section is a bit vague and cluttered, and there are some categories that should be replaced. I added 'Items' to the Homecoming and Downpour categories, as Robbie only appears, briefly, as a doll. As dolls are inanimate objects, they would better fit under 'items' and the 'characters' category should be removed. Likewise, Book of Memories. The Robbie Doll is a weapon, and the Robbie Pin an accessory, and so they should be categorized as 'weapons' and 'items' respectively, and the 'character' category removed, though as the Robbie Doll is a hidden weapon I did add the 'Secrets' category (the doll could also be considered a secret in Downpour, as it is necessary for the hidden ending.) With these additions to make the categorization more specific, does anyone agree that those three 'Character' categories should be removed? I'm on the fence about 'SH4 Characters' though. With the possibility it moves on its own accord, and the majority of players believing Robbie is sentient, it could be considered a character. Dark Shackle (talk) 00:22, April 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * Are you aware that we already have "Robbie Doll" and "Robbie the Rabbit Pin" articles? The items category on the main Robbie article are unnecessary because of this. Robbie is a character first and foremost, and the items based on him (dolls and pin) are secondary. Your logic is like removing the characters category on Mary (Silent Hill 2 character)'s article and then adding the "Silent Hill 2 Items" category because of the Photo of Mary item. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  00:45, April 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * Okay, I concede on that point, the items categories should stay on the respective pages. BUT, if that is so, shouldn't the Homecoming and Downpour Robbie 'Character' categories also be removed? I stand by the point dolls are items, and not characters like the ones appearing in the arcade game and SH3 (albeit dead). I have checked out the Robbie Doll page, and even that page classes them as items, not characters. Dark Shackle (talk) 01:03, April 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * That is a tough question and I don't think there's a correct answer to that. However, if we removed the Homecoming/Downpour Characters category, then it's acting like the character of Robbie doesn't appear in Homecoming/Downpour, which is sort of untrue. The "character" of Robbie could be represented as a doll. The lack of character categories on the doll articles are mainly to avoid redundancy, I think. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  01:13, April 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * It is tough, that's why I felt it was a point worth bringing up. You make a good point about his appearances, though - maybe just to keep things simple (and avoid being awkward) I (or we, as a community) should define a character as a person or a representation of that person. After all, as you say, I could argue James is not a SH3 character, as he only appears as an Anime drawing in a bonus ending. If we consider any likeness to be a 'character', It would simplify classification and make those Homecoming/Downpour appearances by Robbie 'character' appearances. Dark Shackle (talk) 01:34, April 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * That's fine by me. I'd rather not put much effort into this Robbie categorization since it feels kinda mundane, and there's other parts of the wiki that could use more effort. Keep up the good work, tho. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  01:59, April 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * Agreed - I think we are done with this. Thank you for your input, Robbies categorization is a grey area, but I think we have a satisfactory solution. Dark Shackle (talk) 02:16, April 16, 2017 (UTC)

Save Icon
Hi. Straight to the point, I want to know how the gif was made for the PS2 save icon of Robbie. I would like to apply this to another wiki. Sage Endeavour (talk) 02:06, August 29, 2017 (UTC)
