Don't forget the original Rising Hopper's getting another standard reissue later this year

Evil's out and he looks great! The peg to attach the Evil Blade to the belt tho looks fragile as all hell though.

oh wow, Jackal is actually a face plate. Expected it to be a whole head but it looks quite seamless

Anyone collecting the Revice line has it great right now: Evil now in late June, Demons in July, Jeanne in August, then a short break before Revice in October

I'm getting the three siblings plus Aguilera (and Vice) myself. Undecided on if I'll go for Vail or not, guess it depends on how I'm feeling at the time. Them holding off so much on Live definitely helps though lol.

Talking of Live it's interesting to see how the Jackal form switch is done here. I think I'll be displaying Live as Jackal form a lot so it's encouraging to see it be so seamless and easy

Even the merch really hates Daiji

One, that's hilarious
Two, I'm down for Jack Revice. Hopefully it's not a convention item so we can get it sooner

I figured Jack Revice would be Tamashii Nations so this is a surprise. To say nothing of it being before Live lol

So I've been terribly out of the SHF loop. I'm aware of SS Black's terrible rubber shoulders but missed most of the discussion when it released. Was a fix ever found? Is it worth tracking down the figure despite this issue?

I also heard Shadowmoon has a similar issue.

Jack Revice could still be this years convention exclusive and come after Live, I don't think this means its next necessarily.

I don't think a fix was found as much as it just boils down to "be very careful while handling it", that's what I did. Weirdly enough I personally haven't heard of Shadow Moon having this problem, even though the shoulders have the same overlay.

Maybe it is because the material isn't bothered by layers of paint like on Black. Or maybe people knew what to expect from the start and handled the figure accordingly.

If it's worth tracking down - I don't know. They are beautiful figures but you always have to live with the thought that the shoulder pieces might rip or degrade eventually.
