Despite of the drama, the sculpted hair Joker has the same quality paint as the rooted hair version.
I didn't doubt it
You’ve probably been oversaturated with those whiney commenters on social media saying ‘no way am I dropping 1k for a figure’ which neglects the fact it’s a two figure set plus tons of hands, arms, weapons, display podium and enormous diorama.
Still don't agree, and "reduces rigidity which no one seems to be factoring in here" is not true. I factored it when looking at the packaging. I have some experience with packaging design. It's an artform, as far as I'm concerned, and they've done a poor job. You can still have the hard-packed foam in a rectangular format, rather than the odd triangle shape, split, as others have pointed out, over 3-4 levels. I like the fact the heads are in those tubes, and figures in bags. That's a nice touch.
Creative problem solving doesn’t constitute art in my book. It’s an exercise in efficiency, practically and presentation; a learned skill with a consistent objective.
We're on different pages and I believe you've missed the point. I'm not in an argumentative mood, so I'll agree to disagree with you and leave it there. No point flogging a dead horse
InArt: "Yes, lets break the mold even further and make a box with only 1 right angle! They will call us 'innovative' even down to our packaging! This is what collectors have been waiting for in figure box design and they expect US to give it to them! Huzzah!"
Yeah that's another reason I'll probably be selling that figure. Not only does the expression look a bit off but the proportions just aren't working for me nearly as well.
The sculpt also looks fine in a lot of photos we've seen so I'd be curious to see where the issue is stemming from. I think some members said it's from some reviewers not futzing the collar and shirt properly but who knows. The sculpt is probably a bit overscaled to better fit the purple coat look but thankfully isn't anything that out of place.
I just want the single sculpted sculpt on it's own to just have in the collection but I imagine resellers will be selling the sculpt for $200 alone. Might as well get the full figure at that point. Might not though, it's not a necessity, just a want.
That's what I'm thinking of doing as well, along with the jail dio.
Indeed! That's what I'm hoping to do as well. I want the sculpted versions just in case something happens with the rooted down the line
Both?
I want the sculpted headsculpts (not the full deluxe pack again), but I also don't need the extra body or jail dio that's coming with my rooted 2-pack. So, ideally buying the sculpted heads when these start getting parted out hopefully, but also selling the jail dio and extra body.
with how good the tailoring is, i honestly considered the same if I can get my hands on a sculpted single pack. id love to kitbash custom parts and topo's set. i really like the wired coat and waistcoat that inart went with. if the opportunity arises, I might shell another 350 to get a standard set. diecast weapons are also a big big plusMe buying the double rooted pack and also wanting a single sculpted package.
