You're right, I was thinking of show displays rather than official teasers. That gives me hope. (still waiting for release details on Valkyrie, yeah?)

Though the cynic in me wonders if that's not just because there are no shows going on right now. XI

Nope, Valkyrie went up for preorder back in April I believe? So far all the Zero-One riders shown have gotten preorder windows and dates.

Anyone has any advice on how to swap hands on very tight pegs?

I've tried soaking up both the wrist and the hand in warm water and haven't had much luck

Try using a figuart stand that has a peg where you can put the hand into the peg to wide the hole.

Or try putting the hands under very hot water for 10-15 seconds it will make it very easy to put on the peg. I done this and it helped with tight pegs. Let me know if it works for you.

Horobi's lookin pretty sexy as per usual. I didn't get a pre-order from him, but I do have Jin.

What I do is remove the hands (If they're really tight, soak them in hot water for about 30 seconds and then slowly pull them off the peg) and then use an exacto knife to slightly shave down the ball peg. Obviously you don't wanna cut off huge chunks or else you'll ruin the peg's ability to plug into any hands at all, but just shave off slight flakes all around the peg.

Did that with my Kyoryu Red, my Go-Busters, my original Den-O and a few others with really concerningly-tight wrist pegs.

I wish I had done that with SS Hibiki. Ended up snapping the left wrist and having to glue it back, so no more wrist movement beyond swivel.

Really don't understand why SHF still doesn't have standardized wrist joints.

Widen the wrist holes with a screwdriver.

Dishwashing soap to kinda grease up the joint a bit?

Since I got him a month ago, I've been messing around with the original SHF Zeronos, and...

... man, I've found I really don't like this mold and it's such a shamed. I've certainly seen images that make the mold look great; many online images of Liner and New in particular had previously sold me on those figures, but in-hand is always a completely different story and unfortunately that's the case with this for me. He at once feels far too skinny and lanky with legs that are especially far too long yet also comes up short next to other SHFs and I find I can never get him in a pose I like.

It's a shame because there's so much about the figure that is good - the details and paint are as nice as ever; there's a LOT of accessories including a lot of surprising minor inclusions - but as a whole package it just didn't work for me. Guess I'll be waiting on the Seihous of New, Liner and Climax :(
