I know for sure I’ll have Hermione side-eyeing the boys who will be messing around while she’s just trying to read.
InArt - Hermione Granger 1/6 Collectible Figure

- Start date
Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
Figured this little tid bit from the latest live stream that @yasuo broke down for us in the main InArt thread should be shared here as well just in case some folks don't really visit that other thread:
- Hermonie's knee joints have been adjusted, they might switch to silicone lower body instead. Headsculpt is also under adjustment
I'm persnally not a big fan of silicone bodies on 1/6 figures. Anytime I've started out using a Phicen/TBLeague body, I've typically switched it out for a plastic one. But, I don't mind it when a character truly calls for it like Wonder Woman, or some portions of the body like the legs here on Hermione or the muscular arms like current HT Wolverine and Thor figures. I'm hoping that the sculpted plastic knees also get improved even though I don't mind them as they are now.
Anyway, went ahead and placed my order right after Ron on Gundamit. No point in lollygagging when I know I'm in for the trio anyway.

Thanks for updating, I didn't want to spam all these threads with my updates since it didn't feel right and it's a lot of information.
I will probably wait for the teenager versions of them because I think that's when they started being more like their characters than just playing a role. Probably because they got more familiar with their characters.

For sure! You’ve done the hard part already and broke it all down for us so you shouldn’t also have to go to all the threads to distribute the info a second time. I think what you did was great and allowed a lot of ppl to comment on it all.
Yea part of me thought about that for a second meaning maybe I should’ve waited for the teen versions. But, I also want to support the line so that they hopefully keep the incentive to follow through and make the teen versions. These child versions look really good plus the older versions will look different enough, so it doesn’t feel like double dipping like it would for other characters.

I'm mixed on this. It's great that the knees won't look that way. However, for me that's not where my eyes are going to be drawn to. It will be the headsculpt, diorama, and tailoring.
I'm terrified how quickly these legs will split with how skinny they will be. I would rather have both options as the best case scenario.
Agreed. Everyone wants seamless articulated legs until they start to crack/break down and then those same folks will be saying "why didn't InArt just make them out of plastic?" Can't win for losing but I guess at that point they will have already gotten their money so not their problem anymore. The main thing with silicone I've learned is maintenance and climate control.

I know this was by far the biggest topic for this figure. If I had to choose one or the other, it's going to be the jointed.
I am happy they are continuing to work on the sculpt as it still needs a few slight adjustments. It's almost there. Big improvement from first look last summer.

If they're doing silicone, it should be a swap out option while keeping the current plastic legs. Not a fan of silicone being the only version available on parts that bend and crease.

Thank you, InArt. That’s what I’m talking about!
We’ve pushed them into the realm silicone; the silicone (uncanny) valley.
Perhaps there’s still hope to push Joost into using movable eyes…
Are they silicone or sculpted swap out, amazing news regardless! Inart really hit a home run with this set.
Awesome optimizations. I think the updated sculpt looks much better. Might just be me, but I also think they lightened the hair color too, which is good.
If only the general fanbase supported those who care about minute improvements as well and “smaller” yet blatant inaccuracies.

Wow, that really shows a significant improvement in likeness.
Eyes, mouth, cheeks all tweaked.
The skirt looks the same length.
Skirt is the same.

Just checked yeah, i think its seamless silicone. I just wish they would mention about it.

That looks much better to me, more human than the slightly mannequin look from before lol. Maybe not at Harry and Ron level but I think it's closer to those two now. It's awesome that they still update sculpts based on feedback.
