InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

[HyperDrive]

Whoa, that flash isn’t doing his likeness/sculpt any favors.

Rory, not everyone has great lighting conditions and photography skills lol. Let the man be excited for his purchase. This is a mass produced product so if you want to see it in better lighting conditions, I’m sure there’s a better image out there for you.

 

[rory]

neither is yer crying lol

My crying? I don’t get it? You mean about the likeness or something?

My crying? I don’t get it? You mean about the likeness or something?

my ****** cell phone photo triggers you ... ok

 

[rory]

I meant the close up camera flash washes out the likeness of the sculpt. What did you think I meant originally? I don’t know what you mean about crying and triggered. Are you saying my comment was excessively emotional?

 

[HyperDrive]

Now I’d don’t know what you’re saying. I meant the camera flash washes out the likeness of the sculpt. What did you think I meant?

Oh my God. They knew what you meant.

So got my fourth Superman… and he has a huge gap at collar. At first I thought suit was stretched and tried to rearrange but didn’t work. Then removed the suit and saw that one hole is higher than another which causes the wonk. Should I complain with Kit? He’ll roll his eyes lol
This is a complicated situation, if I’ll ask for replacement they need to send entire body as suit is glued on and I’m not going to remove it to switch the body. Sculpt is absolutely perfect.

That's awful, although I would think the holes are part of the mold so should all be in the same place?

Has anyone had trouble with the clear plastic protective pieces sticking? This guy has...

"Received Superman today. Great figure.
However, not cool that you need a hair dryer to swap hands…
Plus under his arm pits he comes with a plastic film instead of foam. Even with care and hair dryer some material rubbed off.
Maybe INART Collectibles should change this for future batches and releases!"

InArt's response

"we’re sorry to hear about this — we’ve pass the feedback along to the factory and they’ve confirmed that they’ll be changing this for future batches."

So much for 'we screen printed it so it wouldn't stick" I wonder if hairdrying the hands accidentally caused it? That could explain it.

InArt avoiding helping at all costs lol I’m sorry
I thought holes are part of the mold as well but others don’t look like that. Maybe it’s a suit, maybe it’s a body idk

If you didn’t want to go the replacement route, maybe you could use an exacto to slightly enlarge the slot lower? But I mean yeah, it sucks to have to do any repair on a new figure.

Dave, had the same thing with the arm pits, I think the plastic film used is the worst they could have picked, it seems sticky by itself.

The hands are a pain, compared to Hot Toys.

Edit: @Dave_W how did you contact inart. I have not got any response so far regarding my QC issues on The Batman.

I’m not good at these gonna ruin it lol will contact Kit let’s see what he says

 

[JorjeCroft]

So watched some reviews and guess my issue is a common one. Even another one of mine has it but not as large as the last one. (Unpacked all lol) seems holes are molded and one is actually slightly higher than another. Won’t bother Kit for this, I know InArt doesn’t send us replacements, Kit does, so don’t want to damage his pocket.

I’m still one of his cool kids tho. Got 10$ card!

Checked mines and that tape is definitely sticky. However print didn’t come off. I keep mine in the cold closet.

I'm curious where the suit is glue to the body. I haven't gotten mine yet, but plan to mod the body a bit.

Suit is glued at the ankles to keep it stretched and avoid wrinkles then boots are glued over that. So unless you are experienced most likely you’ll ruin it, fabric is so thin, very easy to rip

 

[rory]

Ahh, okay. Yeah I think the HT Justice League Superman had the suit glued there too. I might be able to work around that.
