The Resident Evil franchise has been around for a while, and in that time it has amassed a serious amount of merchandise that makes for perfect gifts. Whatever it is you want to get your Resident Evil 4 fan this festive season, it’s probably already out there.
My favorites from a long list of RE4 gifts
Sifting through the thousands of mugs, T-shirts, posters, and other gifts related to Resident Evil 4 takes time. Thankfully for you, I have already done it and selected some of my favorites. All of these will tickle an avid fan of the franchise and should win you some brownie points.
Umbrella umbrella
This one takes my number one spot. It is such a simple and obvious gift idea for the Resident Evil superfan; it is almost silly. This umbrella won’t just keep you dry in the rain or shielded from the sun; it’s also a great bit of merch.
Umbrella Corporation is the evil mastermind behind the bioweapon that brought about the ruin of Resident Evil’s world. Posing as a pharmaceutical company, they are responsible for all the monster mayhem of the games and films.
This Umbrella Corp umbrella is done up in the all too recognizable logo. It is one of the perfect gifts for any fan of Resident Evil 4, especially in the rainy season.
A Resident Evil 4 figurine
Nothing says superfan better than a beautifully crafted model of their favorite game character. You can get your hands on a 3D model of both Ada Wong and legendary Leon as a gift for fans of Resident Evil 4.
I have always been a fan of having a model of my favorite characters or enemies as an ornament in my gaming dungeon. They bring to life the graphical models we get so used to in games. So, being able to see my favorite lifesize, if slightly smaller, hero or villain, is a great gift.
These models are gifts to be treasured. However, they are not the cheapest of gift ideas for Resident Evil fans, but they will be proudly displayed. The time and care that often go into printing and painting the figurines usually rate them as rather special collectibles.
Leon’s trademark jacket
A bomber jacket is a great gift idea in the festive season, whether it is Resident Evil 4 merchandise or not. This replica of the really rather dashing one worn by the protagonist of Resident Evil 4 is a surefire way to keep your recipient warm and looking fly.
If your Resident Evil 4 superfan is prone to frequenting conventions, this gift will fit perfectly. For anyone who is familiar with the franchise, it is instantly recognizable. Not only is it practical, but it also earns them a few extra cool points among their peers.
The beautifully crafted jacket features suede and imitation mink fur. It is guaranteed to keep the wearer warm even in bitterly cold weather. Also, alongside its temperature control, it has fantastic zombie bite protection built in.
Resident Evil 4 pins
For a more subtle and slightly cheaper option, you can always opt for a few Resident Evil 4 pins. They can be clipped onto anything and are a great way to show off a love for a game without being too showy.
These pins are made of a hard metal and painted beautifully. They may be small, but they will stand the test of time and be a gift that any fan can treasure for a long time. It’s a quality product made to withstand whatever the zombie apocalypse can throw its way.
The simple designs are perfect replicas of the badges worn by Leon and the other Racoon City Police Department. The instantly recognizable crest is a perfect gift for any Resident Evil 4 fan.
Resident Evil 4 herb pots
When the inevitable hordes of zombies come screaming out of the depths, only herbs are going to save you. These little herb pots are the essential remedy to many of Resident Evil 4 ailments and will make a great addition to any fan’s home.
The little pots can be easily placed around a house, giving a nod to the herbs left around the many rooms of Resident Evil 4. These plastic plants are a subtle nod to the in-game item, but for anyone who knows the game, they are instantly recognizable.
What’s more, these plants don’t have to be cared for as they are made of plastic. Just like the zombies of Resident Evil 4, these things just won’t die. However, don’t actually try to eat them. It won’t end well.
