InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

[TheBatman]

I love the banter and energy that InArt seems to have invoked among collectors. Good time to be a collector in my opinion, with the Reeves tease.. wow!

This looks like a person in a suit, more so than the majority of 1/6 renditions of him. It doesn't look like an over musculature or overly painted action figure.

I understand your concern, but you picked a photograph that's obscured in darkness and harsh lighting, of course it's going to look good in these conditions. It's the best picture, in fact it's the one that sold me on the figure. But look at every other picture in bright lighting, with a head on angle and no fancy posing. Then the flaws will start to show. The shine doesn't come through either, so the figure looks dull and a lot more lacking than how it does in that photograph, where there's a play of light and shadows.

Subtlety is key. @potatocorner4life edit shows how these subtle change can make a world of difference.

I disagree with you on every level. There's room for so much improvement. Let's not pick the darkest photograph with the most precise lighting and posing to base our judgement on.

Agreed. Things havn't been this exciting in so long.

Truthfully, I have no concerns. I'm happy with the product that InArt is delivering. Let's take these photos, for example. I cropped it so it's focused solely on the build of the body and the suit. Anybody can disagree how the suit and build are not perfectly screen accurate, especially in musculature, but this is one of the most natural builds I have seen on a 1/6 Superman.

While potato did an amazing job recreating changes to match the body suit from the movie more accurately, I wouldn't consider most of the changes he did subtle, by any means, from InArt's perspective. It would be great for InArt to implement some of those changes but I don't see them taking the time and development to go through with it.

Thank you very much , I honestly don’t have too much of a problem when it comes to the suit color and other tiny details on the body. The color especially can be referenced from different lighting so inart is pretty close.

The lower body would make the most difference if they decided to tweak it. I would be very happy if they updated that part alone. The rest are just pluses.

Hot toys have gone over Henry’s build, while inart went way under. A perfect medium would be the best.

They need this criticism because now that I think about it it’s their very first time showing a characters physique. Their other characters, joker, Gandalf, pennywise, Harry Potter and Batman all have much more armored or thick clothing. Because of this they don’t have to work as hard, only the general proportions matter.

This is their first time showcasing their custom bodies because of the suit, and while it looks good they tend to make it thinner than it is. It’s honestly better than way too big because custom artists can beef him up.

But I understand your great point the body looks very natural which is really impressive, but to me this the lower body is not Cavill, which the figure is representing.

In other words Superman doesn’t skip leg day.

I think the point is, are we going for Henry Cavill's on screen body / look for this figure or a human form that looks "natural" ??

For me it's the former. I want screen accurate.

Guys I'm SHOCKED!!!!!!!

Danoby is saying on his live stream that inart used the hot toys body and suit for the prototype

I really don't know if this guy is a really bad troll or a complete moron I really don't know

 

[r0cket147]

What is it with the leg fetish in this thread.

Seriously it’s not that the figure has chicken legs. And to say those legs look like skipping leg day is ridiculous.

This photo for example, the calves are accurate and so are the thighs. Only difference is the angle and that real Henry has his legs closer together. I don’t know if the screen suit also hat padding for the thighs, like it did for the upper body. But if you all want Cavills real proportions resembled, then I think for the legs it’s fine.

I don't watch Danoby a lot, I've only seen him on other collectors live streams but he seems to have a strong bias against inart. I did happen to see that particular Livestream and those accusations were ridiculous, dude had some UFO conspiracy energy lol.

What bothered me the most was him saying inart isn't doing anything to innovate when Hot Toys at times puts out some the laziest stuff, reusing old sculpts (Cavill 3x) repurposing old bases for different figures, terrible flight stands that damages suits etc.

Also he kept saying this Superman isn't worth $400, when he was enthusiastic to buy the Hot Toys Joker for $500+, also seemed to have no issues with the price of Artisan Scarlet Witch either. I dunno, the dude comes off as a Hot Toys fanboy and I can't believe I'm saying this but the whole Hot Toys vs Inart situation is giving off strong Sony Vs Microsoft console war vibes.

 

[T8OO]

I think comparing the figure to the actor isn't really worth anything, especially if they are enhanced in the role.

It's not 'InArt Henry Cavill Sixth Scale Figure' it's 'InArt BvS Superman Sixth Scale Figure'

Danoby's always been a nut, not to mention a complete perv to boot.

And I wouldn't go that far with the console wars comparison, those guys are crazy
It's not like the Inart fans or the HT fans are swearing off the other company and solely buying their preferred product (well, other than super weirdos in denial like Danoby)

I think most of us who love how InArt are pushing the boundaries of 1/6 are still going to buy any HT figure that appeals to us, I know I sure am. I'll be in for alot of the Ahsoka figures for example.

It's just HT rested on their laurels too long, people were getting fed up with them way before IA showed up (as the examples you provided). HT already filled the powder keg themselves, and IA just happened to be the match to light it.

It's the ol':

And for all we know we may see IA in the same position someday - right now they're still hungry.

Danoby is the one that collects lots of half naked/naked dolls?

I wouldn't be collecting thoughts or feedback from him, if he's the one I'm thinking of his videos are as tacky as his collection.

For those curious, Gundamit just messaged me letting me know they reopened POs so put my order in. Not sure how long it will last

$367+free shipping is a lot more comfortable for this figure than the $400 elsewhere. Premium members also get almost $11 in rewards which basically knocks the price down to $356. Since I shop at ShowZ often and the points work on both sites, it’s a much better deal for me

 

[GaryPool]

Why are people going with Gundamit over KG or Kit? I'm out of the loop, haven't really been following this release, this figure is at the point where it's really good but lacking, but Kit has a late October pre-order cut off.

It's not 'InArt Henry Cavill Sixth Scale Figure' it's 'InArt BvS Superman Sixth Scale Figure'

​

Fun fact: BVS Superman is played by Henry Cavill. That is where they get their references for the head and body

But it's Henry Cavill in a muscle suit. This is what they figure should look like, it's based on a 3d scan from that suit reference photo shoot. I left the arms and cape out because this is from a posed statue.

For me, better price and reward system b/c I use their sister site, ShowZ, for most of my transformer purchases and the RPs are usable across both sites. Not to mention, I’m a premium member there so I get 3x the reward points. They’re reliable and ship well in my experience. They also have incredible customer service and help with getting replacement parts is pretty easy with no hassle. Not to mention, the deposit is only $3 vs the higher amount that other stores are charging.

For others, the alternative accepted payment methods were better for them as some members don’t or can’t use PayPal

All that said, that’s not to throw shade at the other stores. We all know OSK is one of the best in the business and will probably get his stock first before anyone else. OSK and others have also had the best prices outside of ordering direct from InArt until this Cavill Sups and Harry Potter.

You might have missed the comparisons a couple pages back. Yes he looks “natural” and a human being but not the physique of the actor who plays Superman.

Same angle, both standing up. His legs are “fine” but not accurate. And for $400 you’d expect a bit more.

Fun fact: The body on the left isn't the physique of the actor either

Exactly thank you, Henry Cavill in a muscle suit. This should have been referenced more from inarts body.

My point is, this is what they’re referencing. Actor in a suit, nothing more nothing less. So it’s reasonable if we call out something inaccurate.
