InArt - The Batman 1/6th Figure

[The Green Goblin]

Been messing around with my standard for a bit. It's impressive. The belt and holster are a bit tedious to set up. Not having an issue with the eyes being knocked out of place by the peg holding the head on, like what was reported a few months ago. but I am having an issue actually using the little knobs to move the eyes. It's very hard to move them, and as far as I am aware there isn't a tool to help.


The standard box is huge btw. The package I received from @Kit Chen came in very quickly and was packaged expertly. Once I opened that box, there was a brown shipper. I start wonder, did I get sent two by accident? In that shipper, a silver shipper, then the actual red package with the slipcover. The box is deeper than TDK Joker, and it doesn't need to be. The bottom layer of black foam is about a third of the size of the box, and all it contains is the thin base and cape.

So the size of the box is about the only issue I've got with the figure so far.

Mine arrives Friday, as does a new Bass. I'll be opening him first though haha I'll post in hand pics and try to post some much nicer ones this weekend since I have to travel friday afternoon.

What type of bass?

What type of bass?

Danelectro Longhorn. My friend has one, I fell in after trying it. Needed a new one as I actually play regularly around town and had a cheap one that barely did the job.

Nice...been playing myself for over 40 years. Currently have a 5 string Stingray Special, a 97 Fender Jazz Deluxe, a Fender Aerodyne and an Ibanez fretless. Super fun hobby.

So uh…anybody else not get a cape?

I thought I was being dumb/overwhelmed by all of the unboxing but I opened the “operation guide” and sure enough, the place where the cape should have been is empty except for a piece of foam. Nice.

INART's way of telling you to buy a custom cape. Sad times.

I was about to message Jaxon about his cape this morning but I said “nah, let me wait and see what I think about InArt’s cape.” So much for that!

Lots of moaning. Is this the worst InArt figure since the Joker...?

What is it about Batman?

I feel so sorry for Joost.

Oh awesome. I've been a guitarist for a long time but only recently took bass playing seriously as a bassit. I love it.

From OT's page:

He basically made a new collar for InArt Bats. This one is even more "accurate". Honestly not a big upgrade as led to believe bought one for my HT and the paint started to scratch off from just putting the cape on. Then he ended up lowering the price on it which is BS Honestly. Bot worth wasting $100 for this new on Honestly.

It's got potential. Already looking better than Inart's by a good margin I think. I definitely prefer the neutral mouthplate over this new one he shared though. Paint could also be improved as @Cap'n Cook mentioned. Cap, which painter do you have in mind if you decide to go forward with this?

@dklkzk is my favorite for Batman cowls, though hes very expensive, $300+ from what I've seen.

I thought his new collar was the same as the HT? I saw the pole on his story and I think he mentioned he wouldn’t change it for the Inart version. So I think you should be good.

Received my Premium today as well and it certainly looks fantastic... but man is it a frustrating figure to do anything with. The hands and various other parts fall off anytime I try to pose the figure, the cape is incredibly hard to tame, and the base magnets somehow seem even weaker and less dependable than the Joker ones. And I won't be comfortable at all with leaving it on display without a crotch grabber.

Thankfully the proportions and head size look far better in hand than in some of the pics, and make the HT proportions look absolutely ridiculous now. So I will definitely not be keeping that one.

So yeah, overall it's an awesome looking figure, but I am officially over the whole magnet thing. Lol

That's disheartening.

Nice work. I'd love to see you or somebody else try the hybrid swap with the Hot Toys shoulders and chest plate.

Unfortunate to hear about the cape being difficult. As for the hands, that's unexpected, considering they also have magnets.

Inart's been very stuborn about their magnetic system, particularly with the base. It's an easy solution to include an acrylic attachment as an option, and solves two problems in one. They've got their haads so far up their @ss about it for some reason.

Getting tired of spending more money sorting a solution for every base. First Joker, now Batman, and Aragorn on the horizon.

Wow great photos @davejames! I like the texture the cowl gives off there. Feels less like you’re looking at a 1/6 figure but something larger.

Shame to hear about the magnets. Their quality control on them really needs to improve across the board. Should be using nothing less than strong ones that snap on at this point. No ides why they thought the sliding mechanism was the way to go for the base either.

Justin recommended it.
If only he'd made a good recommendation, lol

How's the cape?

The cape is fine. It's not gonna drape as nicely as a cape that isn't wired, but I'm not actively annoyed by it.
