Ok so I might have a solution for a DIY adaptator.

You just take one like these and cut the "ring" part of the peg (in red on the picture) and the little molding left over on the top of it.
Then you could use a dremel to dig a hole and glue a magnet in or just use some electrical tape to add a few layer of thickness to the peg so it hold the headsculpt nice and tight.

I suggest to add a layer of electician tape over the magnet too if you go that route to make sure you have an extra protection so the magnet doesn't unglue and get stuck in the neck of the headsculpt.

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.

This works for those who need an adaptator.

What’s wrong with the ToPo adaptor then- the head sits too low?

For me it sat way too high. Gave him a giraffe neck

What topo adapter? The little clear rubber thing? I didn’t use that as it wasn't really secure at all.

In hand there is no question the Topo set is the more premium, I do however think that the PT body is better and I'm really struggling to get the Topo body to balance.
With the cap, I think the Hot Toys head is a little too large to pull off this look so I will need to wait for my InArt to come in and try that.
Topo left, PT right

Got the set and definitely the best made set. Sadly my InArt BW sculpts hair went wild and frizzy all of sudden. I had to tame it with water. To be fair the HT head works great it scales better with the set. I do think the InArt head is a bit under scaled. But looks better without the cap on.

I know everyone wants to show off the hair, but in the movie he doesnt. So removing the hair should make the cap fit right. Mine looks amazing with the hot toys headsculpt and it isnt big at all.

That's how I have mine atm. The HT sculpt seems to work the best for this set over the InArt sculpt. Sadly InArt sculpts hair got all messed up and the glue is coming undone on certain areas.

Yeah looking at it on the shelf now I think it will be better without the hair, I'll give it a try.
Any pics of yours?

He does when he's at the batcave.

I followed Bob Dylan's tip and swapped the body with one from MAHA and it looks much better.
It's not as sturdy but the proportions looks much better.

That looks quite nice, did you pick up the body from eBay/facebook?
