My Lucifer just arrived.  Are the shoulders assembled incorrectly on all of the revivals?  Can one tell just by looking at the underside?

Unfortunately it cannot be determined just by looking at the underside. It would need to be transformed into armless gerwalk mode (legs down) to reveal the sides of the shoulders at the very least.

I was afraid of that.  I was hoping to suss out the valk's shoulder assembly status w/o transforming it just in case I decide to sell it MIB at some point.  I guess I'll just list the pauldrons' assembly as "unknown" if I ever decide to sell it.  It sure is a pretty valk, though.

I don't have mine yet, but if I'm not mistaken, you just need to flip one wing up at the wing root hinge and drop that leg at the intake/thigh. You've already got it out of the box, so it shouldn't be much more work to take a peek. You just need to see the top of the "101" and the corner that it should/shouldn't align with.

This is assuming there really aren't any double same sided shoulders in circulation.
