InArt - The Batman 1/6th Figure

[Aybaig]

Hot Toys has a real issue with their sculpts that has become more and more prevalent to me in the past 2 or so years. I find most of their sculpts come out very waxy looking and have little to no texture on them.

I second this, plus the way they do their eyes.

Never cared much for rooted hair just curious to see how the figure turn out.

I will have fun doing mockups of the dream setup while we wait for the official cowl pictures. Topo and inart really nailed it. <3

I agree. Very reminiscent of around 2012-2014 era when a lot of HT production sculpts were coming out pretty waxy, lacking in detail with flat paintwork and orangey brown tanned skintones

even redness of the eyes for example inart takes it to a new level.

This small detail is amazing honestly because it's a brief moment in film but gives a lot of story detail like his lack of sleep.

I get exactly what you mean man. This is pretty insane..

I also love that there’s no space between the sculpt and the eyes, it’s one cohesive piece.

I paid 1K, I'll panic as much as I want, thank you very much.

I don't care what HT does, I'm not comparing anything. But that set was what? $500? It does not look that bad really.

This set does. Both figures look like custom figures. Again, the picture shared by Inart themselves looks like ****. And, in my uneducated opinion (since you all see stuff I don't) something that costs this ******* much should not look this bad.

taking a screen grab of this for when the photos of people properly futzing this figure come out and it looks incredible.

So after sitting on my initial thoughts of that something just doesn't seem right. I read through all the comments and looked at the comparison photos. To me, it really only boils down to the hair is either to much or just not futzed right. That's it, not the sculpt or anything else.

This comparison spoke to me the most. Not even looking at the HT sculpt at the moment as the quality of the photo isn't as good. The structure of the InArt face is almost spot on that it looks like a photo from the movie (minus the hair).

Now after just seeing this side by side comparison with much better resolution on both of these sculpts, IMO there is quit the difference in the structure of the face and paint apps. Don't get me wrong, I still believe the HT figure is a great figure. That's just it, one looks like a great figure of Robert Patterson and the other looks just like Robert Patterson.

So is bk.

I am not offended. I am having fun seeing you guys coping and will continue to do so

If you're spending the money to get this set I get any worry or gripe you might have as Inart products are not cheap. However, I'm really starting to get tired of others saying that our thoughts are invalid because FB or Reddit says "HeAd bAd" or "InArT tRaSh". Same thing is happening in this thread as it did in the JND 1/6 threads. You can totally say that something looks off to you, or that you're gonna pass on a release because you think it isn't worth it. But don't try to convince those buying the figures that their opinions are invalid simply because your grandma's cousin's friend's dad said their toy was better.

The irony here. Lmao. A guy said 1k was not worth it for this set. But you guys didn’t accept his opinion and tried to gaslight him instead thinking it’s worth. “It’s lifelike”. The moment you guys brought HT to comparison, you guys should know that you are coping. All we are talking here is about inart and inart only whether it is worth or not

I am not denying that Inart has stunning details. Much better than HT. But the fact is that it doesn’t look like how Pattinson was in the movie including the JND one which has silicone skin as well. The HT photo is poor quality which is irrelevant anyways

I'm waiting for more photos on this. I'm neither on the this looks bad or looks good side yet.

You keep throwing the word cope when it hasn't been proven that the final product is definitely bad. Even you yourself are waiting for better and more photos yet you have already made the decision it’s a bad product. Looking the HT photo, that photo is quite clear compared to the lower resolution on Inart's.

Considering semantics, 1k is for 2 figures and a bat signal and not everything has been properly revealed. Basing value on barely any conclusive evidence of a bad product maybe it's better to say I don't see value for 500? 400? I'm not keeping track of the prices of each set. As for gaslighting, look at your own posts. You throw the word cope for anybody liking this.

One thing I don't like with the HT is that you have to spend more to make the collar and neck accurate or proportionally better. The amount for the mods seem high in that regard. For the inart so far, it's restyling that rooted hair. Won't cost you anything.

Again, I'll wait for more and better photos. If anything that really needs to be called out is Inart's delays especially they don't really have a lot of product in the pipeline.

Exactly. Agree on all your points. I am waiting for better photos because i want to see the cowl. Whatever photos Inart had released of unmasked one, it doesn’t look like robert pattinson but a well detailed some other guy maybe. 8/10 people in the community agree that it has likeness issue or head being small. That’s why when 2/10 guys are trying to justify it, i am saying it’s coping. Coping is not bad. People spending money on it, obviously they would have that bias. But I don’t care about HT here. Just think that HT didn’t make this figure like Gandalf. I am seeing their promised prototype and how it turned out different makes me panicked

I agree, like I said about the first picture, that the photo quality is poor. However, the second photo seems to be much better quality. There are more photos than just that angle of the HT's figure, so I know it looks better than just that picture. I think the HT is a great figure and I have no hate for it at all.

I think you have brought up a lot of great points throughout this thread. Looking back through your posts, I know you arent an InArt hater. You just want to see the best from them and have been frustrated with the release of this and with the first look of these photos.

In my opinion, I think the jaw line looks spot on along with the upper lip area down to the chin. I will say the nose is slightly off on the bridge and tip. I think the bridge curves in a bit too much causing the tip to be a little pointy. These are just my initial thoughts from this photo alone. Like you have said, I want to see more photos to better judge this.

Very well put. Better photos can clear the confusions.

People think i hate inart and want them to fail. I love inart so much and have been stunned by their Paul, Ron and 2019 Joker. Thought of getting them along with Superman which is on PO. But i feel heavily disappointed by their pictures and how much different it is from prototype. When people don’t complain, Inart will get lazy just like HT.

Hoping the cowl turns out good. But keeping my expectations low

Seriously, I’m gonna need a comprehensive list of what people think is so offensively and egregiously terrible with these.

Let’s get some pros and cons columns going to adequately weigh up the extent of the over-reactionary panic.

Con: a bit too much rooted hair…

Honestly; what else are you guys in an uproar about?

So far everything else looks fantastic. I was really pleasantly surprised when I saw the body. Good proportions, some extra width, great detail and weathering, and appears to have the right coloring instead of that green tint we've been seeing in pictures.

All that said, the Bruce Portrait is the main attraction for people who chose the premium over the standard. So far it's not looking up to standard, nor does if reflect the higher price point. Whether it all comes down to poor futzing or hairstyling is yet to be seen. I would love to get a proper look in the hands of a detail oriented collector.

I don’t get the argument that he’s too “sad” some YouTubers are saying and I’m very confused.

He’s literally in agony the whole movie. Do they expect a happy Batman?

I'll take the sad sculpt over the deadpan, borderline about to crack a smile, generic crap we always get from Hot Toys

 

[Knedlo]

Not sure if it was mentioned but it seems to me that the cowl texture is smoother now? At least on the empty cowls, so I guess the cowled headsculpt will be the same. Only thing that bothers me right now are those scratches on the batarang and especially on the arms, doesnt look very realistic to me, everyone else is OK with it?

You mean the chest emblem/batarang right? Well every thing in excessive amount loses its charm bro. Same here. Also, I noted those "x" like scratches (on both sides of it!!) too when these photos were revealed, but as we all know these are their final pieces so nothing can be done now. If this isn't a die-cast piece and those aren't real nicks, maybe we can go for a repaint. Same goes for the shoulder pads. And we are good!

P.S. would be still way cheaper than getting an additional custom collar piece along with having to get the body modified
