1/6 The Batman ‘the drifter’ discussion thread

[sj2106]

The present toys version has exceeded my expectations, I like it. I’ll wait and see the price point for TOPO to make a call on which one I get.

Is the present toys one already up for pre-order? Will it take the InArt head?

Yep it’s been up for pre-order for a while. I’m not sure if it will take the INART head, sorry. Maybe someone else in the thread may know.

I really dig that the boots are magnetic on present toys, Topo also great.

I'll probably do Topo's set + Present Toys wrapped hands (If Topo doesn't include them) + Rooted Raccoon INART sculpt.

Im liking PTs set more than Topo at the moment, clothes fit and sit better. will prob put my PO in.

Should have placed my PO for PT set with Kit long sold out at this point.

The clothing set with body is still up for preorder, might need to log in.

Hmm I can't decide which one to go with. I think Present Toys looks better?

Keep in mind that the pictures you're seing of the PT set is from Huaye_c, he's a pro at futzing.

Looks like (as usual) a blend of TOPO and PT would be perfect.

Ah damn should have signed in first. Oh well I ordered a set from Giantoy who are also reliable so no big deal.

Definitely something I'm myself not worried about as I'm good at that also. Will probably add some weathering to the clothes using pastels and water treating certain areas since it's always raining when Bruce is in the drifter outfit. I'd still get topo set for the hat and helmet.

Agreed the whole outift (PT or TOPO) needs water treating and darkening.

I noticed PT omitted the sleeves on the hoodie and flannel, which explains why the torso is so much better looking than Topo, great idea on their part.

 

[Musashi3290]

Have Topo said when their drifter is going up for preorder? They seem to not answer that question on Insta anytime someone asks.

Hmm, did they omit them or are they just folded behind the main body of the clothing for a tidier looking photo?

I’d be inclined to believe it’s the latter.

I think TOPO might be tailoring their outfit to an ill suited body that just looks far too… unremarkable to pass off as Batman.

I put a Drifter outfit together ages ago; even bought 1:6 motorbike kits to build his bike. It was my absolute obsession at the time. (Still yet to start work on the bike…)

I’m mostly satisfied with what I have but could do with a more refined set. My stitch work on his utility pockets is the biggest disgrace.

I see neither company has included the little tag on his zipper though - so one point to me.

Here's the result. It's not as powerful as the original one but it works.
To make sure it nice and secure you could add another later of tape.

I might be missing the big picture dio, but why not simply use Inart's provided adapter?

 

[Scout Trooper]

Topo's looks better to me all in all. The fit, color, and material of the jacket.. The bag also.

But there are things I prefer about the Present Toys.
