Superman was fine, they used different foam though. So they do learn.
Also no magnetic pegs on Superman, but still painful to switch hands.

I agree with this. I think both HT and IA sculpts are good but not fully there in terms of likeness as I said before sometimes it is sometimes it isn't depending on the angle. The Unreal sculpt is the best but the paint holds it back to a degree, I think painted better it would be better.
I also agree with this. Although I feel a few things about InArt with the QC issues. Mines having a bent ear and some of the hair on the rooted bw started falling off the glue on the side of the neck. I do feel it's a good figure but in the end the HT is the best overall in terms of final product. I noticed some off the later batches of HT Batman is weathered more then the first few batches.
Despite the issues here is my figure.

InArt clearly didn't have the appropriate production force to tackle this release. Makes me think that whatever staff they're working with, they made them work extra around the clock. They were late to their own ETA by a year, then dragged the release for almost a year for it to arrive to costumers. Staff is doing mistakes that one would do if you're in a rush or if you're tired.
Makes me feel a bit guilty that I'm supporting this company that gives off signs that they exploit their workers and probably cheapens out on acquiring more staff. Well, that's how things have been in China for the last 30 years...

I think they have been forced to expand quite a bit, and I think the higher prices we are seeing with Legolas and the Nazgul are a result of that.

I mean, they did also have to fill an order for 10,000 Wukongs while making Bruce, Batman, Aragorn, Harry Potter, and Superman at the same time...

I don't know much about production logistics, but I think that one should have an employee take care of only a couple of things at the same time, over and over again, not have him constantly doing different things every week. They probably have 10 people painting the accessories, others putting magnets, etcetera.>
I'm just rambling here, just wanted to make a point on how these QC issues are probably the result of being rushed and feeling tired.
Yeah I finally tried to display my figure with the unmasked head and had to give up on the idea, as it just looks ridiculously small next to every other figure I own. I know people argue that it's perfectly sized and in proportion, but sorry I'm not buying it.
Wishing now I had saved some money and just got the cheaper sculpted hair version.

I agree the unmasked head is under scaled.
So I keep my Hot Toys one as the unmasked version, and the InArt one as the masked version.

Say what you will about HT, but they at least know how to scale their heads correctly 99% of the time. Not sure why Inart seems to be struggling so much with that.

Yep, that's exactly why I kept both. For me now, InArt and HT are the good companies for 1/6 licensed figs. Other than those two, I go to third parties, such as Mars, etc.
I 100% agree while the hot toys one was bulbous, Inarts was underscaled! Ledger joker prison was over scaled and Pennywise was slightly underscaled also!
I don't get how they can't get sizing right! Mine came with a fair amount of QC also.

I completely disagree that Hot Toys gets scaling right 99% of the time. Case in point is their '22 Batman.
You have to take into account, the heads should scale accordingly to what a person would look like without the layers of clothing like Joker, or the thick armor like Batman is wearing.
This is why I believe the InArt Joker sculpt is over scaled. It looks good with the jacket and everything on, but once those layers get removed it's oversized for the body.
With the Hot Toys Batman, both sculpts look way too big even with the armor on. If you were to put those on a normal body, they would look massively oversized. This was my biggest issue with the Hot Toys release was both of their sculpts' sizes. The sculpts themselves are good to the accuracy of Robert Pattinson. The sizing to the cowl on Batman and sizing to the Wayne sculpt are not right.
With the picture Godfather posted right above, I see absolutely nothing wrong with the scaling for that head. He is wearing thick protective armor and his head stayed proportional with his body underneath the suit.
Maybe I'm wrong and I can go throw on a couple big puffy coats and the size of my head will grow to stay proportional with those coats
Yeah I'll grant you the proportions on the HT version are off as well. But I've got the Inart Joker and even with the multiple layers that head looks oversized to me.I completely disagree that Hot Toys gets scaling right 99% of the time. Case in point is their '22 Batman.

Something ain't right about the Superman body to head ratio either. But I'll try to reserve that judgement until I see it in person.

Fair point with Joker. Most people just bring up the jail cell Joker when talking about the bobblehead. I could see where it's oversized with the coat on and goes less noticed, compared to massively oversized with no coat.

I agree. At least that’s how it appears in photos. And its larger scale makes the body look diminutive.

Got the OSK cape and collar for InArt batman I think the collar is from Jaxon but it's identical to Art15 collar but made of better material and more matte paint. It works well with IA Bats.

I finally got a shipping update for my premium Batman from fedex. I originally got a shipping email from Spec at the end of Oct so I’ve been waiting since then. I should have him delivered on Tuesday.
