InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

[Earth 616 Collector]

Very thin box. They really optimized the space in the packaging with this release.

So for everyone who has it, did y’all full pay?

I only paid deposit first. I received the email for first batch chance and invoice for remaining balance + $35 shipping.

Mine arrived directly from INART today as well. My box looks like it got shanked but luckily the inner box art wasn't damaged. Another benefit of ordering with Kit for these figures though. He double boxes their brown shipper.

The sculpt is absolutely incredible. This and their Pheonix Joker release is probably their most detailed and sharpest sculpts yet. Up there with Batman and Gandalf. I think Superman and the HP figures are the softest in comparison. This has all the subtle freckle and micro painting that Ron seems to be lacking. The eyes are incredibly lifelike, which are nicely highlighted with the masked sculpt. Sharp and thin painted eyebrows and eyelashes. Tailoring and weathering on the suit is all top notch. There's dirt and grime in all the crevices. Feels like it was hand weathered.

The glitter "spice" coat on the base is a nice touch. Magnets in my base feels really strong. The flesh tone painted wrist pegs that emulate a silicone subsurface scattering look is also a nice to see. No magnets in them as well! All the hands swap on and off really easily. Still unpacking everything so will post more photos later but very impressed so far. No QC issues as well from what I've messed with.

So, if anyone thought the Joker headsculpt was difficult to put on, this is 10x more difficult at first. I highly recommend everyone practice with the masked sculpt first before even attempting to put on the rooted hair sculpt on. Once you get it in the first time, it seems to go in easy after that. Ive switched the sculpt a handful of times now and it's no longer challenging.

The neck hole is very tight, the hood gets in the way, and the suit is made of hard material with no give. Have patience and take you time.

Thanks for the heads up!

Looks unreal.

One question tho: is that the furthest the nose plug can go in?

Just messed with it more to make sure. That is the furthest it will go in. You could shorten the tube's, but you would have to modify somehow to get them to stay in the nostrils. As it is, they are hooked on the edges to hold in place.

*Edit* I swung the nose piece up and it fits right now. It was in all the way but needed to swing it up.

Great pics! Much better than mine This has by far the strongest magnets in the base and in the masked headsculpt. The detailing they put into the desert mouse are incredible.

InArt made a tutorial just for installing the head.

InArt QC strikes again. Someone that ordered a Standard got a Deluxe instead.

QC Fail win?

FU*K INART

 

[The Green Goblin]

Got my standard today. Or at least I thought I did. Opened it up and found a rooted head in the box.

So I guess I got my first rooted figure today.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Very nice pics @Hologram AI and @Earth 616 Collector definitely looking like InArt’s best release so far. Final paintwork on the head looks great

Very thin box. They really optimized the space in the packaging with this release.

Nice! I hope they continue that with future releases.

Pretty cool for the person that got it! Someone else further down mentioned they got a standard, but ordered a rooted, so I imagine they’re not as happy about the mix up as the other person is

 

[dominishin]

Effen hell man. I got the standard version even though I ordered the premium. This is going to be a pain. Hoping they don't just send me another head, I want the appropriate premium foam inserts and box.

 

[HyperDrive]

I f*ckng hate this company, man

 

[Bleah]

Now this made me look at the standard I also ordered but had not opened... the text on the brown box says deluxe.

 

[dominishin]

The worst part is we're probably going to have to wait for another batch since they sent our deluxes to other people.

 

[HyperDrive]

Honestly, these people are dumb. But hey that’s something to be expected by a new company like this.

Someone’s getting fired .
