Just realized he will probably talk a lot of **** once InArt reveals their Bale Batman. Since that's his obsession he's going to be more critical on it.

Welp - I've ordered the Bat-Signal with Sanctum Toys, they seem to have good reviews online and some people on here are positive about them so hoping it all works out, its not like I'm risking the ALL-IN set's amount of money.
Plus, once you convert the money, the Inart Bat-Signal from them is actually cheaper than the Hot Toys one on Sideshow.
Just hoping its real and hoping I dont get ambushed with the shipping.
Will you keep us posted when it comes. If all goes well and they still have them I may invest as well!

I’m going to let you guys know a secret. I’ve worked on a cowl a couple months back and planning to 3D print this for inarts head. This is why I haven’t been too critical of the sculpt. This is my personal project but once I figure out the mechanisms, sizing etc and if it looks good at the end who knows if this can sell. Still lots of minor adjustments left like the neck being longer etc, but I hope this project can succeed.

I plan to have it as a seamless neck piece, with a separate collar attached to it. This is once inart finally ships though I can test the sizing.

My biggest issue right now is how I want to transfer the inart eyes to the new cowl since it’s so good. I can paint separate eyes but it’s not the same effect.

But yeah, once I get some testing done I will share this with the group. :) It’s a very ambitious project so I still don’t want anyone to expect anything. But I will work in the shadows..

This is going to be awesome. All the best my friend!

I'm going to do the same. 🤞
 
The more I look at this thing, the more excited I get. Partly just to receive my stock figure, but also to see what other people do with theirs. We’ve seen how great people have made the HT look with modifications and IA’s stock figure is already no slouch. I’ve been wanting to see what he looks like under red lights; looking at the Batsignal and the water streaks has me wondering if anybody will have the cajones to craft a “rain drenched” Bats with a dark wash over the suit and raindrops and streaks on the cowl.

Years ago, I saw a Tom Hanks Saving Private Ryan custom. It might’ve been elvis1976 that made it, though I could be wrong, and I think he used hot glue to create water droplets and streaks on the helmet. It looked incredible and I’ve always wanted to see more people experiment with it.
 
Ok. I'm ******* excited!

These are so darn close, apart from the obvious collar inaccuracy of the HT version. The only small things that bother me about IA's (if that's their final version on the left) is the narrow mid-section and the slightly smaller head. This should look like a guy wearing a few layers of armour, so his body around the ribs should be wider and heavier. Also with the smaller head, along with the tapered waist, there's some exaggerated proportioning leading the whole figure to look a little like a stylized animated version, sort of like when you see an Anime/Manga interpretation of a live action character. These are just based on the photo here. We'll have to see what IA's final product looks like, but I do believe it will exceed HT's, even if it's just by a small bit.
 
The body looks great as does the BW sculpt. The cowl sculpt appears very toy like. It appears all this time the only thing IA has been refining is the BW sculpt despite saying theyre improving the cowl sculpt, etc. Pretty much everything else looks just like the first prototype. The lies have left a bad taste...
When it comes to the cowled sculpt, I don’t know if they really did.

In general, no one cares for costuming details; people really just care about the portraits. Which is why John said they’d optimize things but only if there is a general consensus.

On Facebook, I’m honestly the only major advocate for “minute” details like this and I hardly ever get support. The bigger items are largely being suggested to some extent, but not the smaller, more minute details. They did improve certain things, but the cowl nose, face plate likeness, the forehead shape as others are mentioning, neck joint and size of suit collar, length of cape, etc would’ve been nice to see.

Out of curiosity, when did they specifically say they were improving the cowl?
