Sculpted looks solid but the InArt sculpted hair strands are still too thick unfortunately. Aragorn had the same issue. Someone else noted that HT still does sculpted hair better and that's definitely true.

Sculpted throws off likeness for me. Same thing with Aragorn... the sculpted gives me more faramir vibes for some reason.
What’s with some collectors and their funny rules needing to be prominent like character placement and need for specific groupings?
Some of the greatest displays I’ve seen have been where not a single character matches the one it’s next to, of course, not in a jammed detolf that is.
It just makes it look like you own far more than you do by herding similar IP’s together or similar designs.
It lacks visual interest.
If you have all the different Batmen, why throw them all together at the same level, that’s a lot of black that blends into itself.

Paul and Chani make more sense together if they’re from the same film vs mismatched. Making a Part 2 Chani makes sense if they they do a Part 2 Paul as well.
A mismatched Paul and Chani duo isn’t like where you have your favorite mismatched Avengers figures. Idk why people keep saying that.
Who’s jamming all Batmen together? That would look dumb for a long-term display.

Though I would prefer Feyd over Chani. It would make more sense for Chani to ge done as this is Dune part1 and not Part 2 Paul.
!!! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Why though?
How is it any different to placing the new stealth suit Cap next to Mk85 Iron Man?
I wouldn’t put mismatched characters together from anything.
Imagined it.

Define mismatched.
Is it characters that aren’t scene specific to one another, appear in the same franchise but not the same movie, what if it’s an ensemble of characters played by the same actor or from movies sharing a director or a row of a character played by multiple actors? What if you group all characters who have won as Oscar, or simply appear in movies you deem childhood favourites? Can you group by decade or genre? What are the rules?
It all boils down to the arbitrary intent we assign to our displays.
It’s just most common and possibly logical to group characters by movie- but that’s really just one way to view a display.
Some people group all the Siths or Jedi from Star Wars together even though Darth Vader, Dooku, and Maul never shared screen time.
Someone could represent LOTR with Aragorn, Gollum, and Sauron. They never hang out together.
My Heisenberg and Jesse are wearing clothes from two different seasons. How dare they?!
Bayverse Transformers fans can choose their favourite iteration of Prime, Bee, Megatron etc and stand them alongside a varied cast of other bots from the entire franchise. So what?
Batman may stand alongside the X-Men on someone’s shed because- superheroes.
The individual figure represents the character. The group represents the whatever you decide it represents.
And again, if anyone can illuminate the issue, why is a pairing of Paul from part 1 and Chani from part 2 any more egregious than these other examples? If Feyd comes after part 1 Chani, is he allowed to join that display? Wouldn’t that be a mismatch?
Often pair my young Deckard with K from 2049 and at one point I had Batman Returns Bat displayed with Ledger Joker as they were my only two DC figs.

Repetition will always exhaust one’s eyes.
Putting the two of them together will take your eye away from the details of the stillsuits, making your focus draw on the sculpts only.
Seeing three damn near identical Vader figures in a row diminishes the power of his iconic look.
Put five red and gold Iron Man figures next to one another and see what it does to your perception.
Or the negative impact of a handful of Stormtroopers instead of one or two flanking.
Multiple Michael Myers lined up with nothing to go in between, that’s a lot of coveralls.
Once we stop trying to recreate scenes in displays and care about the details of each individual piece on their own, you will prefer to not categorize.
A shelf of say ten figures from multiple films unrelated to one another is much more appealing than a “Marvel shelf” that everyone and their mother sets up that looks like an uninspired film poster.

It’d be idiotic if Paul and Chani are mismatched.
It wouldn’t make any sense. I bet INART also thinks the same way.
If they do Part 2 Chani, they better have a Part 2 Paul in the works.
