Ok, so in case anyone is interested, here’s my review despite the eyes and cape clip issue.
Packaging:
Simple but effective. Larger than it needs to be, though. I also wish the tray that holds the figured had the deeper black foam for the top like what HT does and what Gandalf had. I wish the ticket stub was of the regular sculpt instead of the angry one.
Suit:
Suit is super thin as others have noted and I also have the larger/warped cape hole on the left side like JorjeCroft mentioned. I will probably put a dab of glue to secure the collar in place on that side to avoid the skin poking through.
Thankfully I don’t have the issue of the sleeves being too long and bunching up at the wrist like I’ve seen for some ppl. They’re pretty much just right as far as length goes.
Also, shocker, but the kryptonian shoulder glyphs aren’t nearly as low on mine as they have been on earlier batches. Definitely not following the lower deltoid like it needs to be but also not wrapping the mid bicep either.
It slides pretty effortlessly over the chromed body for posing and the chrome shines through well enough in person. As someone who has seen this suit in real life multiple times, I can say I’m pretty pleased with the suit despite the extra detailing under the armpits. Only problem I have is that the boots and cape are not the same shade of red and they should be. Boots are too dark and cape is too bright. The color should be somewhere in between the two for prop accuracy, more in line with the red of his chest shield.
Body:
The build of the body looks pretty great, particularly without the cape. You can really see the bulk without it. It loses the size though once the cape is on imo. As stated from the get go, thighs need to be bulkier but between this and HT thighs, I’d choose this. The paint on the neck doesn’t match 100% with the heads though which is a bummer. It’s not bad, but enough that I noticed right away. The knees could’ve been made to look more like human knees than toy ones.
Headsculpts:
Aside from the eyes, the skin texture is nicely done, but there’s no doubt that the hair lost some serious detail. But that’s definitely Cavill and better than HT BvS attempts, just wish it was a bit more determined looking.
I’ve got no problems with the heat vision sculpt aside from what’s already been said about the root curl not being necessary whatsoever.
Base:
This also lost some detailing and depth in the sculpt and the front S nameplate looks like plastic instead of being painted realistically to look more like metal. Getting the feet to connect with the magnets and have the back hole cover is a bit of a challenge even with magnets pushed all the way forward. The connection feels fairly strong though.
Accessories and hands are all nicely done. No complaints there.
Overall:
This is definitely the current best official 1/6 Cavill Sups. No questions asked. Currently, I have no desire to sell it. I am impressed with some aspects and not so much with others. But overall happy with it. Glad I chose to keep this one over The Batman.
Do I think HT could potentially beat this out with the rumored 2.0? Yes. But this figure is no slouch. If HT do make a 2.0 that’s superior to this, I don’t think it would be by much, and probably wouldn’t be necessary to “upgrade” for most unless you’re a Superman/Cavill fan like myself and JorjeCroft.
Do I think it was worth the $360+ price tag that I paid? No. I don’t feel like this pushed the realism boundaries as much as some other InArt figures.
Do I regret the purchase? No, I’m happy to have it.
Does this outshine my JND statue? Definitely not, but it’s a good figure.
Out of all my InArt figures, this is the first one that’s got me considering replacing InArt TDK Joker on the shelf. My others are still in their boxes.

Unfortunately mine didn’t just come off like y’all’s did. Had to take a wet q-tip and really rub the affected areas and use my thumbnail to get it all off. This unfortunately took the gloss off the eyes, so I’ll have to polish them some to get the shine back before putting them back in the head.

Opened mine today and got this issue lmao. Do we know any solutions? Will InArt send replacements for that? Im thinking some heat but idk.
If the sleeves are too long, I’m not sure there is a fix without doing some needle and thread work.
If you’re thinking of heat in the sense of shrinking after wetting and drying it, I’m not really sure how that would work or if that would damage the suit
How long we talking?
Have you tried massaging it away up into the armpit and over the shoulder?
could work but I think its just simply too long. Ill give it a try in the morning for me.
I just noticed that mine probably has that issue with long sleeves and bunching at the wrist. See his left side is flush but his right side looks a bit longer with a bit of bunching. Personally I didn’t even notice it until I saw this thread, and this is super minor for me. I’ll try pulling the right sleeve down later to fix the bunching.
You can see in this image that the lines around the forearm are lower on the right arm, the symbol and right side are all lower. Maybe the position of the cape hole on the collar bone is too low and stopping the suit from sitting correctly. I'd try removing the cape. Massaging it all into place and see how it fits without the predetermined cape placement.

Thanks for noticing, this pic was taken after I took him out the box so the displacement makes sense.

Just a little freaky
For some of the sleeve bunching issues, the sleeves don't look like they're pulled all the way down. I think the sleeves are meant to come over the hands, some of these pics have the sleeves resting inside the wrist joint. The sleeves should cover the wrist joint.

I was waiting to your review! And I’m sorry you got quality issues, definitely ask for a new set of eyes!!! I agree with you, while this figure is gorgeous I think HT can beat this up, so we are patiently waiting
I’m not HT fanboy, don’t even have lot of HT, but never had any quality issues with them, which is a big plus for me. InArt ruins whole experience with their nonexistent QC. Me and you, both of us are cursed 
P.S. wrist wrinkles and collar gaps seems to be a common issue with this release, of course InArt gonna say that’s a normal thing.

Hoping with all my might that my Aragorn and Superman are problem free.
This.
So will the flying stand damage the suit more so than a HT waist grabber?
I love my three InArt figures but have obviously been lucky QC wise. Wouldn't blame anyone for not buying anything from them until they get a grip on things.
They only release a handful of figures a year so this number of issues is just inexcusable.
