InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

[skullboy]

It was sarcasm.. lol. In response to this new debacle.

They get the figure just right then fook up the distribution

So not as bad as SpecFiction.

True. Not unreasonable though. I honestly anticipated waiting longer tbh.

Lol yeah. They’re dumb lol. I hope it gets sorted for those who are dealing with this issue tho

Some photos. Nose wire (whatever it's called) keeps coming off from the ear.

Awesome pics! The black n white one could easily be mistaken for a real on set photo

Have inart stopped with the magnets to attach hands then? It’s easier now?

I’ve ordered 1 standard and 1 deluxe of this. It looks quality, my only concern is actually receiving a rooted sculpt in at least one of the boxes.

Yes, they have ditched the magnets in the hands. This and the Ron Weasley have the best peg system by them.

Are there any photos of the sculpted version? Kind of regretting getting it now since everyone seems to have gotten rooted instead

Some of these pictures look photo realistic. This has to be InArt's BEST figure to date.

Here's the sculpted InArt sent me instead of rooted. I think the sculpted hair is mediocre at best.

Yup I regret getting sculpted now...is there anywhere I can still get the rooted version for less than $550 USD? Don't think Kit would let me change my order

Sculpted hair is okay, just a bit shiny. Also got sent a sculpted instead of rooted. The face sculpt and paint is killer but hard to be enthusiastic because of their **** up. Still waiting on a damn response from them, it should be monday where they are now.

Popcultcha still has it available for $446 USD with $30 AirMail Shipping. Type in "Paul" in search and go to 2nd page in search results. When you type in "Inart" it doesn't show up in the store search result.

They're charging the whole price upfront instead of a deposit, are they legit?

Yes they are very legit. I bought about 12 Hot Toys/Blitzway/Threezero figs from them in past 2 years during their Holiday Sales. Click on the item/product once you get the result. It will give you option to do deposit and you pay the remainder in April when they hopefully will receive their stock.

I got him in the other day and he's really a great figure with a very strong presence on the shelf for sure.

Inart finally have the hands right this time and they slip on and off really well and sit snug without having to use a hair dryer THANK GOD for that. However this time around, inserting the heads was a wildly painful experience. The hair on mine is decent but not the best in terms of curls from what I've seen from a few of you on here.

Oh, and my Nostril plug came broken off/missing. I thought it was in the accessories since I just saw a cable hanging from the suit and low and behold the tiny wire appears to have snapped at the end. I can't find the part that goes in his nose.

Pros:
-Both sculpts looks great
-Suit is incredible
-Body is tight and sturdy
-Hands are fixed! I can't explain enough how happy I am that the hands aren't a disaster like every other Inart figure I have.
-Base magnets are strong!

Cons:
-Inserting the head sculpts is horrendous, stressful, and tedious; Worse than any figure I've owned. The sculpts fit incredibly tight, the suit material is extremely firm at the collar, and the hood/collar material bunches up inserting the sculpt no matter what I've done. When I tried to set up for a few quick it took up most of my time. Very bad user experience for sure.

-Because of the tight fit the head sculpt has trouble looking straight on and cannot look up. The sculpt pushes down slightly because of the bunching up and tight fit into the suit.

-Nostril plug attached to suit came broken/missing.

-For some reason taking shots I found him to have a bit of "dead eyes" no matter how I posed the body and his eyes. I don't know if its the neutral expression, the lighting, maybe I'm just bad at posing the eyes, or it could be just me. I was able to get a few shots that had a little life in them though.



I was to aggravated to tie the scarfs on neatly but here's a few shots and he does look really nice:
