InArt 1/6th DC Speculation thread

[thenick123]

Hope InArt can make something like this for WW.

The quality of that JND piece is just insane. If the production shots of the Battinson/Bruce sculpt is anything to go by, InArt might actually be able to get somewhat close to it in terms of likeness for when they do their WW. Fingers crossed

I’m personally hoping for a better likeness from IA than the latest JND statue. Everything else is astounding but that most important feature of any piece just isn’t 100%.

She’s looking a bit too gaunt in the cheeks and jawline and the mouth is off.

I wonder if IA will go the silicone body route… That’d be quite a leap in quality if it has realistic paint apps and the durability to withstand articulation.
WW could be the biggest test for them due to all the exposed flesh. She’s definitely one of the figures I’m most eagerly anticipating as none of HT’s have been good enough to warrant buying.

See what you're saying about the cheeks, even though this is a slightly different angle shot to compare with. Tbh her entire face looks slightly elongated and shifted up (or forward?) on the JND, but I think the actual facial features and their relative proportions are 100%; personally doubt there could be room for improvement on half the scale but hopefully I'm wrong

If the digital sculpt is perfect then it shouldn’t matter what scale it’s produced in- that perfection should translate- baring any paint issues.

Also, a minor discrepancy such as the JND’s lips will be far more apparent at 1/3 scale so the smaller 1/6 figure could actually get away with a similar flaw.

Looking at this I feel like the center of the face is too pointy and the cheeks slope into the sides of the nose too gently. The center of Gadot's face around the nose is pretty flat and broad and the nose rises sharply on the sides. Edit: The JNDs cheek bones may not be full enough causing this effect too.

I think this is what you mean by her face being pulled forward. I feel like you could use a move tool and just push the area around the nose back slightly and bring the angle at the back of her jaw down slightly and it would be pretty spot on. As it stands it still looks like Gadot but maybe with some congestion.

I think a slightly talking sculpt is always tough to judge fairly though.

InArt does have the resources from Queen Studios to design a near perfect Gal face going by their 1/1 bust and 1/4 statue. Hot Toys and other 1/6 manufacturers imo never cracked Gal's WW likeness. This is perfect opportunity for InArt to succeed but producing a single prototype with near perfect likeness versus repeating perfect likeness on mass production scale is two different challenges any company faces imo.

If I were InArt, I would have purchased the above 1/3 Platinum JLWW if allowed too and simply copy it into 1/6 scale with improvements to the lower face/jaw area.

They really love giving her a bee-stung lower lip.

 

[thenick123]

Yeah, the Golden Armor HS is spot on Gal Gadot. Im really glad I have it as its one of the best portraits.

It's about 90% there. The hair and paint lets it down a little. When the helmet is on it's closer to 95%.

Lower lip is way too big.. Did she get implants? Something off about her eyes and overall look with the rest of the cheeks and face.

I'm bewildered that 1/6 collectors are making criticisms about a, as JND call this, a "Hyper Real" 1/3 statue.

I'm on the fence about getting the 1/3 JLWW as there's a few left. I've thought about it and although I'd love to purchase it, costs $2000 deposit, $6099 Total in Australian $. To me, that's a lot of moolah! I need to upgrade my 8 year old PC, pay bills, blah blah.

I've lost faith in 1/6 WWs until I saw QS come out with their InArt 1/6 range. Although they haven't shipped final production pieces yet, I want them to succeed and to be known as a company that produces very, very high quality and very, very close likeness 1/6 figures/statues that surpasses HT.

I anticipate that when InArt get around to the, as it looks like, the BvS Trinity. I hope InArt GG as WW looks like the JNDs JLWW. I think it will be a challenge to make the near likeness headsculpt and the body will have exposed skin and how lifelike it will be? Who knows but them.

An inaccuracy is inaccurate at any scale and an off actor likeness is especially noticeable at a larger scale. Paying more than 10 times the amount for 1/3 will also boost the expectation of and necessity for perfection.

1/6 collectors can criticise details along with the best of them so ones collecting preference shouldn’t really have any baring on their ability or likelihood to express dissatisfaction at a product of any size.

 

[thenick123]

I was hoping Wonder Woman would be the first of the trinity. See how they do with a female sculpt, longer rooted hair and the seamless body.

Yes it WILL be interesting how they do. It would be cool to see a 1/6 which is seamless from head to toe but I guess it couldn't be done if collectors wanted swappable hands and removable parts.

Black Adam Spoilers

Spoiler

Yeah, I'm gonna need the Black Adam Superman now. Man of Steel suit with better colours plus the hair curl. I would love to hope that InArt offer us BvS and BA versions at once. I don't see it happening but man that would be great.

 

[batfan08]

I don’t know about the full license and I imagine Jack would still be a hard get, but I’m kind of curious what the situation with Keaton and 89 right now is in terms of likeness and licensing. I collect Mondo/Bottleneck Posters and as recently as last year, Bottleneck did a series of Batman Returns prints. Both Penguin and Catwoman were on full display with Pfeiffer and Devito likenesses, but the Batman print had his face almost entirely obscured by shadows in a clear attempt at avoiding Keaton’s likeness.

This year, they’ve released a Returns print with full likenesses and Keaton front and center and made a full screen print of an older 89 Giclee that they’d produced in a limited run a few years ago with Keaton, again, front and center. Between that, the Batman 89 kids Halloween costumes being cross-promoted with The Flash, it really makes me feel like Keaton penned a new deal when he signed on that reaches back to his older appearances, in terms of licensing and merchandise, and I’m curious what that means for products based on his rendition of the character going forward/if he wouldn’t be easier to get for InArt than, say, a Reeve or Nicholson because of it.

 

[Johnny Utah]

It would be cool if they did a Peacemaker and revamped him.

I have the original but would easily get a new enough one.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Has it been confirmed at all if the Bale Bats will be BB or TDK?

 

[Johnny Utah]

No but it will be TDK to go with Joker I assume.

 

[Chris]

Given it was announced officially today I'm just gonna say I need a Black Adam version of Cavill's Superman. I know it's only a cameo but he's never looked better

Probably will get one from Hot Toys right away. I think InArt if they ever do it, will be a bit later down the line as they already have the BVS version coming first along with quite a few others.
