It's very obvious on the red suit one, other two sculpts look fine. So Idk.

 

[RJTVFX]

Oof, I can definitely see the drop in quality. First Hot Toys releases some truly terrible stuff, now the InArt Phoenix Joker undelivers. Bad week for sculpts

which HT releases? Bruce?

I'll wait for Black pictures, he and Dio are the ones who make figures look at their best.

Are we absolutely certain we’re NOT “rinsing and repeating” our knee jerk reactions to initial reveals like we have for EVERY release thus far?

Guys…c’mon. How long have we been doing this? Have we not learned anything at this point?

Let’s remain calm. Making observations here and there is cool…but immediately saying it’s “garbage” and “wanna cancel-“

People, let’s chill and wait for the ‘influencer batches’ videos and photos before we start selling off our entire InArt collection because of “reasons”.

I swear some here are just clawing at any chance to deem InArt as this colossal failure and their very existence somehow harms their well being. Not calling anyone in particular out, but relax. Wait for Justin’s, Jedha’s, willfoxification’s, Riley’s, breda’s, and various Chinese influencer’s videos to drop and THEN let out all of your pent up feelings.

We go through the same exercise where people freak out over lousy photos by In/Art. Only to then realize it’s great.

It’s exhausting. I wonder when people will get it through their thick heads lol

Well, it's also IA fault for using such an unflattering lightning and angle. It's the second time this happens, same thing with The Batman production pics they posted on their socials.

I think we ought to accept that photography isn’t this company’s forte. Hell, even Hot Toys release unflattering blogger photos.

The industry standard should probably be higher to in turn promote their products better, but I think what Brooklyn is saying is sound and fair.

Funny enough, the company I dislike the most among the 1/6 - 1/3 licensed companies because of their weird marketing and some of their figures is JND, but I have to admit that photography is where they excel.

That's the only thing they excel at...lmao

I definitely agree with this take.

Shhhh… careful now, might rub some folks in here the wrong way..

 

[Rzeznikk]

Came in here to LOL at all the dramatic knee jerk doom and gloom comments, but it seems some rationale has found its way back into the thread after all. Me personally, I can't wait for my invoice.

That’s the point: it isn’t the 1st time InArt’s videos do their figures a disservice. And once the bloggers and other videos start dropping we get a far better and clearer idea of what we’re getting. And usually it ends up “huh, so it looks good after all. Man those early pics/vids were bad!”.

Rinse. Repeat.

I dunno, you don’t find this cyclical behavior…a bit tiring by now?

I usually avoid InArt’s self produced videos because NONE of their figures look good in them. But this time I had to see for myself and once again: a carefully curated screen cap of that one millisecond where the figure looks even more unflattering than it already did in an already unflattering video.

But then something else happened:

I watched the rest of it and thought “huh, that one millisecond out of a 3 minute video made the figure look weird. But overall it looked great.”

It’s always the extreme here with some members here. Guys, seriously, just chill out and wait. We’re not getting this for another 2-3 months. In that time you will definitively know if you’re gonna keep your PO or not. No need to stress yourselves out.

 

[HyperDrive]

It’s mind-boggling too because these are seasoned collectors and they keep falling for the same tricks. I say this with respect to the entire community.

Ngl I'm struggling to see the downgrade that people are talking about with the red coat version.

Outside of the difference in lighting, camera, paint placement and styling of the rooted hair, it looks to be the exact same base sculpt without any adjustments to it. The nose, the lips, everything is the exact same as the prototype.

As a matter of fact, I think the hairline on the production is now more accurate compared to the sharper widow peak they were doing on the prototype. They also moved down the red painted eyebrows on the forehead and the blue arrow eye marks were adjusted slightly.

If you were happy enough with the prototype to put down $300, I don't see what's changed here. Outside of the sequel being complete **** but that's an entirely different topic.

and with this I take back my MegaMind comment

 

[R_R_X]

I like how the box says Arthur Fleck, keeping in line with the dog **** sequel since we all know this isn't the joker.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thankfully, if the sequel had anything redeeming, it made it very clear -- especially in that opening cartoon -- that the "red suit" persona IS the Joker.

So if you have the red suit Joker in your collection, we know who you're rooting for.

I’m gonna wait for in hand pics I ordered last minute so I might have time to decide to keep or eat the NRD. I think just bad lighting and no salon work done on hair yet to make it look like prototype.
