QC issues and half assed third party figures are frustrating and mixing and matching for the perfect custom is tedious for sure.
I want variety and the support characters but as much of those I wanna see another RE1 Jill or RE4 Leon. Wanna see a company absolutely nail those figures where we can be satisfied with the final results no mods required.
Despite the very many versions of Jill I don’t have one in my collection yet

If the RE9 rumours are true (I don’t think they are personally) we will hopefully be seeing even more Leon figures

Fingers crossed rumours are true!!! Need more Leon!!!If the RE9 rumours are true (I don’t think they are personally) we will hopefully be seeing even more Leon figures
Could be wrong but judging by that separate gloves cuff and the slim fit pants... i guess this is Hot Heart in new Name.... the only one company that uses separate gloves cuff..
the pants is easy to fix with little dark blue dye, and glad they did the collar on the vest, looks like the patch is sticker and easy to replace, too bad looks like the beret cant be remove though... dont know about how good the sculpt in hand.. but overall the most accurate jill remake mass produce until now...
if only this exist 10 years ago before i made mine would be alot easier...

No we need more Jill’s, Ada’s and Leon’s.
well they could always made separate hair to change the sculpted beret, or u could always find or make a fitting beret... i use male beret (expandables barney ross beret) on mine since my sculpted hair had more volume and bigger...
It looks like someone called them out as SW, but Rotator denied it and claims to be working completely independent.
So it might actually just be a new company. Which is good news, since hopefully they'll make an RE1 Chris to go with that Jill. Or maybe even the entire classic S.T.A.R.S. team.
Can never have too many Jill's!
So it looks like it's only going for around $160-180 USD on the HK sites, and is expected to ship by the end of 2025. No idea if that price is going to change once Kit has it up for PO though.
They're also surprisingly active and responding to comments, definitely not something SW or HH does. They're saying that they plan on tweaking a few things yet, not specific on what things though.
Someone was also blasting them for the SW style body, to which they're saying that they have nothing to do with them, and that they are " a new independent studio and there is currently no cooperation with them". lol
Either way, I'm happy that we're finally getting a classic RE1 Jill, and that it doesn't cost an arm and leg like the latest SW one. It's not perfect by any means, but they still have a lot of time to tweak things. It's not as good as the Frank Jaeger sculpts, but I think the sculpt is almost there. Maybe not in likeness, but the paint app is really good on it.
So long as it still looks that way when the final product releases...

That's more like it.
I dig it, personally. The greenish hue won't please everybody but for an in-game look it's spot on and what I'm looking for personally. It seems a bit of a bummer for those of us who invested in Frank Jaeger's parts, but I see a brilliant kitbash ahead of me here by replacement of this figure's head, hands, pads with those wonderful parts I've got from him.
The upside down logo is likely a simple error. No doubt it'll be sorted by the time it's released.
The Samurai Edge is interesting and relevant to the comment about the separate wrist pieces - it's identical to the one I got with my Hot Heart FD-009C. The silver on the slide gives it away. Either they've borrowed some parts for the photos or this company is, indeed, HH.
Regardless, SWToys need to just cancel their sad excuse of STARS Jill and just let this one do the job.

Surprised you didn't mention they specifically addressed the upside down logo on bbicn. They've acknowledged it's an error and will be corrected.

I'm I the only one that really liked that Leon look? yeah, he looked nothing like in the games but he was fine I guess? Shame the movie was trash.
I was sure I had mentioned that, but I guess it got lost when I edited my post.
I agree, everyone and everything in that "movie" sucked arse. Claire was the only one that sort of felt like Claire. And most of them are pretty decent actors normally.He wasn’t fine, lol. He was pretty awful…. I still want to forget that movie existence .

Raccoon City is the definition of bad writing and directing. lol
I don’t know I thought Chris was pretty decent in the film too. The scenes of him fighting in the dark were pretty sweet. And I thought the accuracy to the games in terms of storyline and locations was decent. That’s about where it ended for me. If it had a better, more accurate cast then I think the movie would improve no end. The Leon casting is unforgivable.
