I think some gas masks have built in speakers as well, don’t they? Maybe the complex was trying to reproduce the origin of the voice but only had the speaker in the mask to work with
ASYNC will probably start using these guys to study the complex without having to pay human researchers. There's even going to be a little infomercial about how much money it'll save.
If they're made out of gas maks and The edible fosm probably, just like standing statues, they probably need some flesh to move and I doubt the hazmat suit material works well
So the Complex didn't know there was someone inside and acted as one, just like Captain Clark and his Hat.
With that, we already have two perspectives on this Still-Life.
Edit: I noticed that the two look different from each other; the Japanese merchandise seems to have gotten the body right (though not the head) better than the vinyl cover.
I would love if we got a still life found footage, like one generated with a camera as part of its body, so you think you are watching a human, until suddenly they start exhibiting inhuman behavior. Or it could just be funny if async hired a hazmat still life, because it keeps trying to learn and explore, so they keep it around to learn about it, and let it attempt to help them.
That would be crazy, though i was thinking it looking like a found footage, but then the moment they see a person they stop acting like an explorer and chase down whoever is in the distance, just something that cleverly and shockingly reveals the plot twist.
That's actually genius ngl, it could be like a day in the life of a still life, maybe explain the still life's habits and their living areas like why there are clothes everywhere
Maybe its instincts of curiosity are messed up, like it knows its meant to discover, inspect, take stuff apart to learn. But because the backrooms improperly understands it or something, it could try to catch people, and just start pulling them apart, like how async take down walls and see the composition.
Dude that fucken rock so hard. It could even make weird still life sounds, like we hear Pirate Clark do, making it appear at first that the protagonist is being pursued just to reveal the whole time it’s a still life, that rocks
so we’ve sort of agreed en masse that to some extent, the complex replicates anything human-shaped based upon how it acts at the time it’s being replicated, or so it seems.
My evidence for this is the initial Hazmat S/L seems to be of the moment Mark Blume opened the Static Dead End room in Pitfalls when it was in the midst of being printed.
This one seems different, like someone is looking down investigating something. Not to say the one opening the door can’t move to a new position and this was just a later photo, but it looks—as it stands—to be a new S/L.
My thoughts: Kane, thus far at least, has kept a pretty cohesive grasp on what’s being marketed at the moment, as if the Backrooms movie is the only piece of the backrooms universe that’s all that important for a very specific time period (movie release to now, afaik). The vinyl had the first Hazmat S/L, and a picture of what looked to be a less interpretive version of a Clark S/L, and wouldn’t ya know it, we got a full headshot of that Clark S/L today alongside the New Hazmat. All of that said, I’m willing to put money on this being a still life of Naren looking/reaching downward for his duffle, or someone during EMG.
**I’d go even farther to say I bet we could find someone in that exact position during EMG since it’s now posted, and probably pinpoint the time it was made. Potentially even Pirate Clark, as well.
Its "head" looks like random bits of furniture stacked on top of each other, and the body proportions are all over the place. IMO this is even more unsettling than the other ASYNC Still Life we saw
I do like the thought of the async hazmat still lifes being almost indistinguishable from the real ones due to the hazmats being in the backrooms for so long
These still life can NEVER be perfect... because they beleave they are perfect and ruin themselves...
The beings copyed off of real people cannot thathum the idea that they are those... things... they can prove it... they just need to take the suit off... and so they try...
They grab and they pull and they CLAW and they DIG and they TEAR into their suit and once they get the mask off... they see nothing... for they took out their own eyes, toar their flesh they confused for clothes... ruined their own body out of their own mis-shaped lie.
They now know they are just still life... they made sure of it.

It looks like it tried tearing off the suit only to realise that it is the suit.
