I don’t know what you mean? I think they’re blue up close, like Cavill’s.

I’m convinced there was some mid release tweak they did to the suit fitment on the arms. My figure with the packaging plastic over the sleeves has much more tight tailoring in the elbows and forearms and has no folds, wrinkles or bunching. My other figure, received at the same time, has small plastic squares for armpit/suit protection and has the bunching by the wrist and big wrinkles and folds inside the elbow. The difference in hand in how they fit and look are pretty significant.

Also, for not special reason. I know they don’t belong in the same universe but they look great on a shelf next to eachother.
I’ve got both of them together too for right now

Not sure about that. I have 4 and all of them are different. Suits have some variations. One has wrist wrinkles, others don’t. Kryptonian biceps writing also has placement differences. One headsculpt has very strong skin texture and intense freckles while others are softer. All of them are first batch from Kit. They didn’t listen to community feedback to improve things and I don’t think they changed anything in the middle of shipping batches. I guess it’s just a variations.

I think what's being referred to here is that your sculpt seemed like somebody punched it and gave it black eyes. It does look like he hasn't slept for a longer time compared to the other sculpts. Lol!
It really depends if it was Viper, Viper's mom, Viper's uncle, Viper's cousin, or John that assembled the figure. Also depends if they had coffee or not.

I guess I got lucky with that one suit being so good in the arms. The wrinkled elbows are a big tune off for me about this figure.

Ha, InArt went heavy on the eyeshadow on the Superman sculpt for sure. I think they thought it would look more lifelike, but actually it’s just the opposite, because it makes him look goth!
Hopefully you can show this to PayPal to help them rule the dispute in your favor!
Wonder if this is the person you mentioned on FB that has disputed 2 of their delivered InArt orders?

Keeping the mods and fixes alive here. So as I mentioned in a previous post one of my figures came with really tight well tailored sleeves with no folds or wrinkles. My second figure, however, had the same bunching in the forearm and unsightly folds and wrinkles inside the elbows as many others have seen on theirs.
My theory is that when IA bends the arms and stuffs them in the box for shipping, which could sit for months, they simply develop all those folds and bunching.
MOD: When removing the upper suit to modify the shoulders on my second figure, I completely wet the empty sleeves with room temperature water and a soft brush. Then I took my time blowdrying the empty sleeves with warm (NOT hot!) air patiently (about 10 minutes). Like regular clothes getting wet then dried in warm air, this removed all previous stretching and wrinkles and brought the sleeve's fit back to new. Suited him back up, and now the bunching and wrinkles are gone!
Note, you could try this with the suit still on the arms, but you won't get the same total effect, as the body keeps the sleeves from shrinking to their original pre-worn size for a taught fit.
Now both these guys have modded shoulders and fitted sleeves.
Hopefully this is a help to anyone who is as bothered by the bunched up elbow fabric as I was.

Beautiful work rory (once again). Very pleased to hear a shoulder fix is easy. Does wonders for the figure.
Thanks for sharing

Goofy Instagram video but it shows the suit being removed from the body. A little haphazardly for my liking but does show the sturdiness of the suit...

Thanks for sharing! Jeez this “bro’s” commentary is worse than Justin’s
But, looking at another video of his, he popped one of the peck/chest as well, so I guess some go the muscles are quite removable

Looking up close you can see he clearly tore the rubber collar handling it like that. He could’ve just slowed down and taken more care with it, but anything for the Gram I suppose.

Thanks so much for the input guys!!!
Yeah the Command Strips I used were much too thick regardless of how I had the shoulders on.
I went back and used the type of tape @rory suggested and I am really happy with the results. He now has slightly bigger shoulders but the figure still has the type of proportions that made it beautiful in the first place!!!
Next I guess I will probably do the anti-wrinkle process @rory mentioned above and call it a day in the mods on this guy. But I may get an different cape, the custom capes do seem to lay really nicely on his shoulders.
