I had 2 Inart (from the 2 pack) and one Topo 2.0 before but I kinda like having an homogeneous set of Joker that's why I went with Inart as the main outfit for all of them.
First I got the 2-pack then I started getting into the custom realm and I sold both rooted sculpts, I got a standard version too from a friend and sold what I didn't need and the 2 lasts are loose sets I found.
Unfortunatly for my banker Batman doesn't exist in real life to stop me.
These new ones by portoys look pretty good from the one pic [EDIT: meaning from an overall quality standpoint (paint, finish, hi-res print/casting)] and it’s a nice bonus that they’re said to work with the InArt body but I wonder if there will be any polarity issues with the InArt base? The WonderWorld ones have one foot magnet reversed so they can’t be used with the InArt base, not to mention they don’t allow for hardly any ankle articulation due to the way the ankle insert is designed. Would be nice if these Portoys ones came with some socks though.
That's interesting. I'm not seeing the pattern along the side curve that I usually see with a lot of Joker shoe interpretations. The curve also looks sharper here which is closer to Inarts, and it highlights some other interesting points too. Still, the finish on Inart's shoes is rough and unpolished, but now this has me second guessing whether por.toys gets all the points for accuracy..
very true. I should've phrased it better and have edited my post. From an overall quality standpoint (paint, finish, the hi-res print/casting), I think the portoys ones are really good. But, I believe @xXJ0kerXx1 previously mentioned that the portoys shoes aren't exactly accurate.
Agree, aside from the lacing, I think the sculpt work is mostly solid. But the paint lets it down from what I've seen. I need to see more pictures to be sure.
sold my por toys. they arent good to me. the 4.0 was missing the swirl on the back of his heel, I cant voice how the actual laces are but he painted them a bit purple in certain areas. wonder's shoes are pretty nice for what they are minus the glossy paint. if it was matte and lighter, it would've been a lot nicer but in a perfect world, getting wonder or even por toy's latest shoes and having it paint under heavy supervision by a painter who has a lot of reference, prop pics of the shoes is the best option
Which swirl are you referring to?
Oh, I never noticed that. Doesn't bother me though. The roughness of the pattern on the por.toys shoes are more unsightly to me. But I'm still confused about the pattern itself. The 3 dot pattern doesn't appear to be present in Gipetto's pictures. But it's there in every shoe sculpt I've seen. Strange. It's there in the exhibit picture you shared above.
That 3-dot pattern may only be present on the right foot
If you look in my pic, while a little faint, you can see it on the back (right) shoe, but isn’t present on the front (left) shoe. That would coincide with the pic that @xXJ0kerXx1 shared which is also of the right foot shoe.
