InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

[rory]

Yeah it seemed like such a risky thing to do at the time. I wonder if there's really nothin to it.

I’ve removed the top of the suit. But didn’t want to try and peel down the top of the boots that are glued on. The suit is fairly fragile. But plenty of customizers have done it to paint their suits.

It's definitely doable but with care. More care than I'd be willing to risk. Too clumsy. Just glad it's a confirmed option for customizers and folks like yourself. Big fan of your work, btw.

The suit appears to be perfect for the semi-normal to heavy articulation expected for a 1/6 Supes. It's stretchy enough for a good range of movement.

Definitely wouldn't push it past 1/6 fig articulation limits tho, It'd likely rip, especially at the seams, without too much trouble but this is all guesswork on my part.

Just received my Superman figure today! It’s an amazing looking figure but that cape changing system is scary.

 

[shadows]

it may be just me but i haven't touched changing the cape or gotten the other accessories out of the box, I just got the figure displayed pretty much out of the box. I think this is one of the OCD parts in me as collector, for figures I truly love, i haven't taken the other stuff out as if to keep it brand spanking new.

same here, after hearing about the hassle of changing hands I didn't even try .

Yeah, gotta be reeeeeeaaal careful pulling those cape plugs out or risk tearing that delicate rubber collar. That’s why I like my Unreal cape, no hard plastic plugs, just soft fabric non-destructive tabs.

I don’t blame you. I was super nervous about switching the cape because I’d seen a few different people post photos where one of the plastic loops for the cape tabs had broken.

And really it looks pretty great with the drape cape, right out of the box. But I decided that I wanted to try posing it with the flight stand, and I thought he would look better in a flight pose, with the wire cape.

I left some of the accessories in the box, but I did take a few photos with him holding the kryptonite spear, and with the alternate head sculpt.

I'm normally one for acquiring custom drape capes but I've had no problem getting the stock one to lay on the shoulders cleanly. I genuinely struggle to understand how folks can't do it with the stock drape cape. Strange.

Now, I would of bought it if it were darker. But it's just ever so slightly deeper red. Not enough to warrant another $80 or whatever it costs.

There simply isn't enough difference imo unless you're seriously having issues getting it to drape over the shoulders properly, for whatever reason.

Thank you for your input! I was thinking of purchasing the cape but I may hold off for a little while.

InArt had an interview yesterday and talked about Batman and Wonder Woman.

Batman "light armor" will be available for pre-order later this year, maybe, in December. His prototype is 80 - 90% complete.

BvS Wonder Woman will be available for pre-order later this year, early next year. Most likely the latter.

InArt Interview

 

[shadows]

Inart said they're making 3 versions of BvS Batman, Batman suit, Civilian Suited (Funeral look?) and Knightmare. Batman suit and civilian will come first before Knightmare.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

So ~ 2+ yrs before release. Yeah, I'm glad I'm getting the HT 2.0 Bat's to enjoy until then.

 

[HyperDrive]

This is what they’re doing. “Light-armor” main Batsuit, Knightmare, and Funeral suit. No Armored unfortunately.

 

[shadows]

Since I have the main suit from HT on PO, now i won't need to double dip on the main suit from Inart. I was always keen to get a Knightmare so great to hear they're doing that. HT armored suit looked very good anyway so hard to top that value, I'm sure Inart could've exceeded HT but priced much more.

 

[HyperDrive]

Since I have the main suit from HT on PO, now i won't need to double dip on the main suit from Inart.

It’s what you say now. I bet IA’s will blow the HT 2.0 out the water.

It probably will but i originally thought that's the only Batfleck they're doing from the Malaysia event, but i'll get the Knightmare now.

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

So did they say its a 3 pack or separate?

 

[shadows]

So did they say its a 3 pack or separate?

Separate but undecided on multi packs.

 

[HyperDrive]

So did they say its a 3 pack or separate?

There will be multiple SKUs.

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

So im guessing they will be released at different times then? Any new info on Wonder Woman?

WW and Bat main suit first, this year or early next year followed by the two other Batfleck versions.
