InArt - The Batman 1/6th Figure

The sculpted Hot Toys was $305 + taxes + shipping from Sideshow= about $340-$350 shipped. InArt sculpted was $380 shipped ($370 w/ coupon) from Kit. We are looking at $20-$40 difference depending on if you used the coupon that was available

Comparing MSRP prices set by the companies because that’s what they’re working with when making the product. Sideshow is always going to be the most expensive route to consumers for any toy line.

Do you know how much it costs Hot Toys to release the same plain trooper molds over and over again?

Comparing MSRP is pointless.

Nope, neither one of us knows the development costs for both figures. But picking and choosing retailers so that one includes tax and relatively high shipping prices over another retailer just to lessen the difference is pointless in what this discussion was about. Was Kit also selling the Hot Toys version? Made more sense to use that as a comparison.

$380 wouldn't have been msrp set by InArt. We would have to go by the HK msrp price set by IA since it wasnt licensed in the states. Comparing HK prices would probably be the best comparison then. I'm not sure what those were for either.

If looking at Kit prices only, I believe HT Batman was $320-325. Would put at $55-$60 difference.

That is fair, and I was typing that out as a better comparison after your response. Didn't you do essentially the same thing? You compared msrp for HT vs a price for IA set with shipping included in the cost.

It’s 70 usd difference in china and Malaysia. So that’s the msrp. Other markups and shipping are purely based on retailers and location.

My HT was 225USD, Inart is 295USD. Add a minimum of 45 usd for collar. For 25 usd difference inart is definitely worth for that beautiful packaging alone

Thank you for finding those!

Strictly as is lowest base model vs as is lowest base model we have a 70USD difference. So, we are kind of back to the beginning any way after all with what @webhead05 said

It all depends on people’s preference. If people want just a representation they can go with HT. Standard Inart is great for Pattinson fans and collector’s who prefer better quality. Rooted is 70-90 percent costlier than HT. Hardcore fans and collector’s can get that.

Tbh, I just assumed $400 was the msrp for inart before shipping and $300 for HT. Either way, I agree the Inart looks better and would pay the extra for it.

It’s what most people assume. Which perplexes me when some create this narrative that INART is egregiously overpriced vs Hot Toys, which isn’t true at all lol. For US/most global buyers, Hot Toys are just as expensive or even more in some comparable cases. Price aside, the value that one gets with a INART product is so much better. Imo.

I’m in the U.K. and ordered both HT’s deluxe + Batsignal and the InArt All In set from KG.

HT cost - £375 shipped
InArt- £768

Just under £400 for a whole other figure, two root jobs, a properly scaled Bat Signal, and the all around higher quality of materials, build, proportions, and superior paint- especially skin tone- seems completely justifiable.

A closer comparison would be

HT standard (No sticky-bomb gun) - £295
InArt standard- £326

A minor price difference makes for an obvious choice.

That man sure knows how to pose a figure.

 

[webhead05]

I am unreasonably excited to use the flashlight, tbh.

Also, look at that color difference in the first picture! InArt looks so nice because there's a contrast between the black and grey. HT looks too flat, which may be why it didn't wow me in-hand.

You beat me to it. Lol best photos I've seen of it apart from Blacks.

Yeah you gotta weather him up yourself to even get that contrast. InArt already comes that way which is a huge plus and makes it more appealing stock.

This! This is the pose I'm doing when I get him, or at least him looking at the riddler letter.
