Negative roger.

After their disastrous Death Island Jill idk about this one…. Besides the accessories and maybe the clothing I doubt the sculpt will be any good in hand. They did better with their latest Lara figure but still inaccurate and this Jill already has some inaccuracies going on. Plus, that price tag?! lol I’m curious to see the undersize Barbie boots again.

That beret is going to leave a mark forehead as well.

$300 is taking the piss.

For whatever reason I love the RE3 Remake STARS uniform, but this is an easy pass.

Idk what they’re smoking or think they are but charging us that much for one of their products is comical. Their products aren’t even worth that price tag, lol. Charging Hot Toys/DamToys prices now.

As did I!

If they’d stop using all those ridiculous names for these movies I could tell them apart.

1/6 manufacturers like InArt or JND should be making RE figures. They would pricey but highly realistic and CAPCOM be more forthcoming with their IP and licensing. Not like what they're doing with DamToys and be difficult.

Actually more than Damtoys already. I paid $376 for Claire (and $305 for my last HT figure), this SWToys "masterpiece" is $418 (CAD)!!!
And they're using the same cheap janky CRAP Jiaou Doll body again!
Thats a serious dick move from "Sam Wyan" SWToys right there. I also wonder what material the hair is? Doesn't mention it anywhere. And you just know it's not gonna look like this when it's released. And this doesn't even look good to begin with. lol
Only thing it has going for it are the alloy pieces, and I do like the base. I think the sculpt also has potential, I do see some Jill in there, but who's gonna get an SW head professionally repainted on an already overly expensive figure?
I dunno, maybe I'll cave and put down a deposit at least, and then wait until official collector pics of the figure.
$418 bucks though, damn!

At least they got their description somewhat accurate (google probably didn't translate it right, but still lol):
Discounted female head sculpture (movable eye): 1

"Discount Jill"

Don't lol I'm sure it will be parted out once released so pick up items you like. Can't believe it costs basically same as InArt sculpted Aragorn.

Like someone cosplaying Jill.

From price point, I haven’t been happy with their RE line. Sure the accessories are always a bonus but you end up swapping out almost everything from the stock figure is like why even charge that much for a subpar figure?

Example with their Death Island Jill, I ended up only the clothing and gloved hands. I swapped the boots, body, sculpt, different duty belt and repainted the shoulder harness. So, yeah a $300 price when I can tell I’ll be swapping parts already… should’ve been $200 lol.

Yeah I think you're right. I just can't justify the price for this. I'm also getting somewhat familiar with 3D printing, so I'd only really need the clothing to make my own version.
Besides, I was already dumb enough to pre-order the Angel Force Jill look-alike. lol
This is kind of an odd figure when you think about it. It's Remake Jill, but with the classic RE1 weapons and accessories. Almost like they read one of my previous posts where I talked about RE1 figures with the Remake likenesses.

I'll just keep rooting for RE1 Re-remake so a better company will tackle this look.

That’s the closest we’ll get to a remake1 Jill. They included all those re1R items. Unless Capcom remakes re1, but these 3rd party companies are so random these days who knows. lol

It looks like they've gone for the RE3 remake STARS look, given away by the small shoulder pads, elbow pad etc, but something got lost somewhere down the line as it tends to with SW... The accessories look thrown in by raiding inventory in order to justify the silly price.

The hip flask, lighter, and little framed photo of the team have no real place on the figure - you'll look at em once and then shove em back in the box. Leading manufacturers moved past such novelty accessories years ago: they're pointless additions that just exist to raise the price and make it appear although you're getting ''more'' but you know damn well you'll never see them again.

Looking closely, the included magnum looks like the HT derived Model 29 (those with an RE4 Leon or RE5 Chris/Sheva will own something like this), except they've added some bits to in order for it to pass off as the REmake Silver Serpent. They've knocked off in order to make a knock off.

I'm unsure what market they're aiming for because it fills none of them. It's not accurate enough for those into RE1 OR RE3make. The quality and likeness is below anything a collector will accept. The 300 bucks (!!!) it retails at won't attract those on a budget, nor the kitbasher for that matter: it's too damn expensive to warrant bashing or improving upon, so those with any sense will simply start from scratch whilst buying the broken up parts selectively.

Please, don't buy this thing. Just don't. I know we all want STARS figures, but I beg you to not accept this one. The sooner we stop buying this SWToys tat the sooner they'll get lost or kick themselves into gear.

It's a rant, but I'm a passionate nut for anything RE1, so this one really takes the cake. I'm thankful that I've taken receipt of my Frank Jaeger parts!
