InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

JorjeCroft said:

I hope Hot Toys does that with 2.0. My theory is that they were waiting to InArt release to see what they can improve. You probably remember how excited I was about this… We even said prototype sculpt was the best Cavill sculpt ever, unfortunately I don’t see that anymore. We were hopeful for the body improvements as InArt promised. But instead they did bare minimum with this release.
Ppl can blind themselves and say that this is a best thing ever but it isn’t. Won’t cancel but staying hopeful for Hot Toys 2.0 hope it happens soon and he doesn’t look hungry.

Wonder if there is a HT DC presentation at wonderfest is Superman there? Lol


head looks definitively bigger on that body and I hope that’s just a photo illusion and it looks fine in person.

One of the best photos hands down we have so far in this forum. For me personally this is better than any other custom I’ve seen online, and despite the 8% softness in production it’s still an amazing sculpt. I cannot wait for this to ship.

Hopefully the collar glue issue won’t be a first batch problem though..

I've been playing around with photoshop edits to rough out some mods for this guy that are doable. The only part I can't do is shrink the head by 5% like I did here, the rest would be pretty straightforward. And I ******* love to mod! I have some custom capes already that are a deeper color to work with, and more svelt around the neck.

What's the difference, besides the cape color?

The production headsculpt was softened a tiny amount, the same as any other sculpt- and your opinion went from -best cavill headsculpt ever, to -not seeing cavill in it? At a normal viewing distance the differences arent even noticeable- because it is the same headsculpt.

This is the figure you keep complaining about? No other company has shown us they are capable of creating something like this. You must get insanely disappointed by every single 1/6 figure ever released.

The cape wraps around the neck properly and the chest flattened off so it doesn't warp the S. Maybe something around the hips too.

It's interesting to see the minutiae of getting the cape to sit correctly on something like this then you've got some people displaying a statue like this

Maybe they're recreating what they used to do with the bathroom towel?

Eyes and eyebrows are totally different,when you try to capture likeness every dot matters. Sculpt is amazing nobody's denying that, but changed paint and irises toned down the likeness. I'm paid 1600$ for this, so yes I'm complaining, bc figure likeness doesn't look nowhere as good as it was on proto. If they can't provide same quality work they advertise, they need to tone down prototypes as well. I'm collecting for 20+ years and in the most cases final figures are more or less improved. They haven't improved basically anything and ignored all the community feedback. Kept the inaccurate armpit line and didn't optimise body to match Cavill physique. This could be the best Cavill figure ever, but it isn't. So yes there's a room for improvements and I'm optimistic for Hot Toys 2.0

You are factually wrong if you are claiming most figures improve from prototype to production. There is always a drop off in paint and sculpt softness.
