Crotch grabbers can cause damage to. Certainly did with my BvS Batman.

I'm probably one of the few that likes the magnets. Not had my Joker, Batman, Superman or Bella Lugosi Dracula fall yet.


Same here. Never tipped, never fell.

But I won’t disagree with the idea of InArt continually improving on display options.

In other words, don’t be stubborn with the fruitless influencer batch, but be stubborn with the magnets until you master it.
 
I have been blessed with strong magnets. My Joker has never leaned nor fallen since I got him. My cavil stands stiff and my pattison takes the base with him.
 
I took a couple pics of him in natural light today. My camera wasn’t able to capture the way the silver shows through the costume, but in person it looked really cool.

Love the original color more as well, but body modifications look great.
Yeah I’d be curious what mods he did to the body. They look very subtle so it’s hard to pin down. Looks like he added some lats, crotch and thigh mass?

As for the modded color, I thinks it’s bang on minus the artificial shading, which kind of messes with the suit color’s saturation in places. But I get why it’s done, and this is one of the more subtle attempts at it I’ve seen.

Buy going that dark with the suit repaint, you can see why he went darker with the skin tones. Supes would look straight up like a goth boy with his original skin tones e and that dark suit.

He posted more pics tonight.

The problem with the way these customizers darken the suit is they appear to be doing it while it's on the body and on top of the underlying body, not to mention adding all that unnecessary shading the way a bunch of ppl did the HT figures.
Don't get me wrong, there should be some black shading in the recesses of the muscles on the body underneath, but the suit itself shouldn't have any shading applied to it. The muscle suit (or in this case, the body) should be doing all the work and InArt's suit is thin enough that any shading on top makes it inaccurate rather than more accurate.
That said, while I have no problem with the stock suit, it really should be darker in color to be more accurate to BvS.
 
I think people ought to look at the BTS images cause the stock suit color is pretty spot on. But as far as making it more accurate to what it looked like in post, yes it could’ve been a bit darker as a base color under most lighting conditions.
 
Plenty of BTS images show otherwise. It’s all about how lighting reacts to the suit as well and most collectors won’t have professional lighting set ups.
 
I take my own eyes and personal experience over pictures on the internet :dunno

It’s fine if you like the suit on the figure as is. It’s really nice and almost there, especially depending on what your set up is. Again, not saying that it makes it a bad figure by any means.

But there’s no denying that the real suit is darker in real life. Just as the cape has a darker, almost metallic red look to it in real life rather than the flat red that both InArt has done and HT has repeatedly done. The MoS suit is even darker, like a midnight blue in person.
 
It definitely could have been darker, richer deep blue vs flat navy blue like most custom makers go about it, and I personally wish it was, so it’d cover most lighting conditions. And the current cape color is pretty spot on to certain BTS images as well where it’s clearly lighter than the boots.
