InArt - The Batman 1/6th Figure

[yy0925]

Kit confirmed on facebook that he’ll have more quantities of both the sculpted and rooted versions of this guy upon release.

Good to know that! After seeing all the reviews from the Hot Toys version, this suit is really growing on me.
But I would rather get the Inart version.

I hope this figure doesn’t end up like the Hot Toys one where people will be needing to be buying custom pieces and extra parts just to look more movie accurate. I have a lot of faith in this company unlike Hot Toys that’s just screwing people left right and centre. Their Batman does look great but I can’t believe how many people are having to mod it which is ridiculous for a figure that costs hundreds of dollars and you know for a fact they could have gotten everything right the first time round

From their previous releases, there were minimal, if any, modifications needed.
This should be the same. I wouldn't be surprised if its why its delayed, perfecting it based on collector feedback.

I hope so mate! Honestly if InArt and Hot Toys are both making any character I’m interested in I’m always choosing InArt. I’m just so sick and tired of the laziness Hot Toys has to offer and it’s kinda sad tbh because I was crazy about them for years till recent

Same here.

I keep looking at the posts in the HT Batman thread and I feel sorry for the folks who bought it then spent more money modifying it.... Just sad..

Without a doubt. Hot Toys fell off big time and it’s only because they treated us customers like idiots for too long.

I literally can’t understand why they wouldn’t fix the cape the correct way and why they wouldn’t include the sticky bomb on the standard version even though he had it the whole movie

The collar on the inart one is perfect. Pretty much most details are correct. Especially how sharp the abs are and the correct chestplate material.

I do still prefer the HT cowl at the moment but we will see if the final version if they will deliver. They really are working hard on this release which is why the delay is crazy but it will be worth it.

For me, as long as I have been collecting, there has always been a need to mod. No figure is 100 accurate.

i consider it a win if i don't feel the need to swap the stock cape

They don't have to spend the money to modify, they're just choosing to do so because they're obsessive compulsively looking for 99.99% accuracy which is not realistic and people' vision-to-brain is too off anyways (remember the "what color is this dress" debacle years ago?). Most of the movie was too dark and damp to see fine details, especially if you consider things can change during production and from a movie that had to stop a couple of times during the pandemic.

There are nice, clear, brightly lit photos of the suit outside of the movie, and I don’t recall the pandemic changing basic human proportions at all..

"Batman in clear, brightly lit conditions? That's not movie accurate!!!"

Someone on facebook posted this on Inart facebook page:

Opinion:
- Peak likeness was ChinJoy. Although I prefered the darker eye color of the prototype.
- The newer WonderFestival version looks worse and lacks the round shape of the cowl.
- The nose cover on all 3 versions are too short.
4 Suggestions:
- Use the rounder shape of the ChinaJoy version. The real cowl gets wider to make room for his ears inside the cowl.
- Increase the length of the nose cover. The nose shouldn't be visible.
- Darken the eye color.
- Round off the under side of the cowl eyes as seen on the real cowl. All of them, but especially the lines on the WonderFestival version are too sharp. It makes the cowl "cheeks" stick out too much.
I really think those 4 improvements would make this cowl near perfect.

All the comments are like "Yea you ruined it with the Wonderfest version!". "We can't keep track of all the changes!". "The newest version is the worst by far!"

Inart's response:
I just confirmed with our colleagues in the engineering department. The Batman figures showcased at the CJ and WF exhibitions indeed use the same head sculpt. Any perceived differences may be due to the angles and lighting conditions during the photo shoot.

Honestly this is what I thought from the very beginning, it’s all lighting and camera angles.

This is going to be one sweet looking figure once it’s released!

If they are still taking feedback and passing it onto the team as they claim then this figure could be months away still.

 

[Bleah]

Here you have people believing every prototype shown is different from the last one.

On the other thread, customization showcase just to get the right look.

I’ve just been lurking this and the HT thread, but I felt like I wanted to chime in with my (possibly unpopular) opinion.
I was debating about cancelling my pre-order for the all in on this, because I surprisingly think the HT is looking a little better, at least to my eye.
I know, I think it’s wild, too.
Obviously no figure is ever 100% perfect, but I vastly prefer the cowl sculpt on the HT, it looks more like R. Pats to me, and I even think that their un-cowled sculpt is a bit better too, at least compared to InArt’s regular edition.
So I think I’m going to pull the trigger on the HT and then get InArt Bruce to go with it.
The cape issue seams like an easy fix, and I’ll try heating up the collar and spreading it a little more to see how that looks, but I don’t mind doing stuff like that if it means getting a sculpt I prefer.
