Damn, Bane turned out great. Looks like he can so some great poses. I didn't preorder this, and now that I see it, I want it. :lol I've never bought a MAFEX figure before. It is best to bite now and pay eBay prices before he goes up in price even more, or do prices usually go down a bit again...

I use a relatively high speed and grab the dome firmly in my hand, so there's no unnecessary vibration outside of the area I'm working on. Even thin pieces can be worked on with relative ease that way. I did some more googling yesterday and realized I need better tools for sculpting, so I...

Thanks! The HT brow was very accurate to ROTJ, which means it was very flat, especially the left brow (our left). Initially I though that I needed to sculpt the "widow's peak" (for lack of a better term for the ESB look) onto it, but as I overlayed the dome onto movie shots, I realised it...

Making some progress on Vader again. I started working on the dome, which is nearly done now. Most important was to arch his eyebrows a bit more, to get the remains of the widows peak from ANH in there, and to add a hint of the y-indent in between the brows. The dome also has a rim/lip on the...

He looks great for the price. The head looks a bit undersized though, especially given that Alex Ross is more realistic in his drawings. I also think it's quite disingenuous that they photoshopped his neck line in all shots that aren't full frontal or from overhead. Overall I still think SSR is...

Thanks! Yeah, I added black plastic corner moulding along the top edge, to make it all look like one big display case. I also added a frosted acrylic sheet to each shelf, to isolate each figure a bit more. Thanks! Thanks! Yeah I do, here you go.

Came home today to find my Joker like this. He has been in the same pose for months without issues. It has been quite warm here the last few days, and in the few instances per year where that happens in the Netherlands, my collection room can get up to ~30°C (~90° F). This is what we mean with...

I think there are two things here at play that are getting mixed into one: 1) accuracy of the fine details & 2) overall proportions and presentation. The latter goes beyond the tailoring and is also influenced by the underlying body. This is what determines whether a figure looks like a figure...

Agreed. To counter this, once a figure I have on order is released, I usually unsubscribe from the thread and stop following it once the initial blogger and first in-hand shots appear. That makes the unboxing experience much more novel. I haven't been able to do that for InArt releases though...

That's a lot of superlatives in one post: "best 1/6 figure", "highest level of prototype, "mass-productuon that is cooler than a prototype", "dedicated body with the best shape", "a product that you won't be disappointed with [...] at all", etc. I guess JND has never heard of "underpromise...

He's up on OSK. And ordered! He'll be my first 1:6 Droid, but he'll fit right in in my collection of "characters and designs I loved between ages 5 and 16". :lol

It's a 9 month old list, but many/most of these are still valid I assume:

Some new shots from FB, including better views from the side. I didn't know I wanted/needed this in my collection, but I think it's just too beautiful to pass up. I already looked up OSK coupon codes I haven't used yet...

What I'd love to see is a proper shot from the side like in the trailer/movie. I love how it has an almost snake like quality to it. There's even a bit of Giger in there I feel. Seeing this in the HT would surely push me over the edge. The closest shots we have are these, but the low angle in...

I've weathering some clothing here and there, but I can't say that I have a lot of experience with it. For darker tones, I usually used watered down acrylics or dry-brush it on gently. Tamiya weathering sets are quite popular as well - I have 2 sets myself - but I've hardly used them so far, so...

Ha I have exactly the same. I loved the design of the Droideka and had multiples of the Hasbro versions back in the day. I still remember seeing them in the Episode 1 trailer and being so amazed by how bad-*** they looked. I must have watched that scene 100s of times. Modifying the Hasbro 9...

Holy hell he looks amazing in that latest review! His eyes show human emotion, the melancholy of Aragorn, which is something I hardly ever see in figures. I don't have this on order, but man, it's getting increasingly harder to stand by my decision...

Don't care for the dio, but one detail stands out to me: the nametag says "INART". I already never quite understood why you want a nametag on your displayed figures, and I'm not a fan of having a brand name plastered all over my clothing - and this combines those two things? :lol

Agreed. I would take some/most of the things on this list with a grain of salt. With their current speed, this would take years to release. In that time, a lot can and will change. Having said that, I'm excited that they have the T1 license now! The chance seems quite high that they make T2 at...

This is looking to turn into the homerun the proto was making it out to be. Great to see InArt is delivering what they promised so far.
