He posted the information in his FB group when the invoices were being sent out. They each reached the following order #:

All In: #85602
Bat Signal: #85665
Standard: #86015
Premium: #86020

Thanks for the info, Standard 86057. So I suppose next batch. I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that, hearing about the quality issues.

So far with the Batman QC issues

1. Black paint smeared around the face
2. Hindered Shoulder Joints
3. No back zipper??

Bent ears

These QC issues are realistically only relevant in regard to how many figures have shipped. If .01% of figures have an issue that's acceptable reality for this kind of product, is its 20% that's unacceptable.

Indeed my friend, time will tell. I’m sure they will improve on the later batches.

Bent ears

Will add to my QC Part 2 list next month

Just got my Bruce Wayne/Bat-Man combo. I thankfully do not seem to have the listed issues with my figure. I will say that I'm greatly disappointed with the belt. It feels flimsy and it bothers me that it wasn't already pre-assembled. I think Hot Toys did a better job at the belt construction. I do like the cape but I will be replacing it with the draped cape that's listed on OSK. I'll swap out the Hot Toys Cape with the Inarts. I am happy with the figure but it's disappointing to hear all these QC issues. I'm not feeling confident with the Aragorn figure I have on pre-order.

Magnetic Base. (Great concept needs great execution!!)

Just received my all in set! Love it despite its issues. Pretty much out of the box w/ minimal futzing

Love how the cape looks over his shoulders, very natural.

Idk why this feels like waiting for your call number at the DMV.

So I think solved the "mystery" behind the bent ears issue.

The thing is that when they packaged the masked sculpt inside the foam insert, some were pushed way too deep into the foam with the head slightly tilted either to the right or left, causing the plastic wrap to bunch up a bit inside.

I don't think the plastic wrap putting pressure on to the ears is the main reason causing the bend to happen (the ears are made of vinyl, but it isn't super soft, still has a bit of resistance to the vinyl), but inserting it way too deep into the foam and tilting it side to side is squeezing the ears, thus a lot of people are receiving theirs with one ear slightly bent and the other perfectly fine.

If anyone is hoping to keep it in box like I plan to do, make sure that the masked head sculpt isn't inserted too deep into the foam, and make sure that the head is facing straight and not side to side shifted. IMO, I don't think that getting rid of the plastic wrap protecting the masked sculpt is a good idea since the foam might (overtime) cause problems to the paint on the sculpt causing more problems than you need.

Hope this helps out guys!! One QC issue down, few to go.

WOW. How did you manage to repair the bent ears? Blowdryer?

 

[xXJ0kerXx1]

ive pulled so much hair out of his head that I can make a small ball with it lol

maybe I'm getting bad copies from inart, but there's so much brown dye transfer from the hair that cant be removed. faith in the company Is dwindling in terms of rooted hair. ill stick to custom artist hairing, its bothersome dealing with this type of factory hair.

I've previously posted about my messy hair Pattinson having dye transfer, this copy seems to be the same but not so noticeable since its on the back. people arent kidding about the QC issues. theres paint chipping at the bottom of his neck but its covered up by the collar so w/e

there's too much hair and too much dye transfer, especially on the back when opening the cap to access the eyes. but maybe I shouldn't buy first in line and let early buyers come across the QC issues, let the factories iron it out. i purchased late for ledger joker and fortunately no blu tack or weird hair inconsistencies that people came across

on the surface, inart clearly takes the cake for presentation and presence over hot toys, but there's some huge flaws with this figure no one is bothering to mention about at a design standpoint

Tried the hot/water cold treatment 4/5 times but no success.

'Official' advice I got was to put the cowl in the oven...

I declined and used a heat gun, thankfully it sprang back into shape after a few seconds.

What temp? 350 F at bake setting?

"Put it in the oven"

What a ******* joke

 

[Godfather1408]

I'd love to see the email they said " put in the oven"

This company needs to sort it's QC s**T out. Rather than sending to influencers despite the figure being sold out for over a dam year! Hire a bloody QC team!

Honestly this will be their down fall if their not careful!

Finally here. I’ve done a brief check and no immediate issues. Will be unboxing Friday and splice it with the HT then.

did yours not come with a plastic bag around the head? or did you remove it, assuming its at the bottom of the capsule.

if so, was it tightly wrapped around the sculpture?
