InArt - The Batman 1/6th Figure

[boba flint]

I got my standard version the other day and what a pain it has been to put together. The bat emblem will not stay in place ( magnets may be missing?) the straps that go around the leg for the sticky bomb gun were installed backwards. The head is loose. I can't remove the plate on the bottom of the display base to get to the magnets there. Velcro straps are not holding. I might cancel my Superman order.

Preference for the source aside, did your brother give a good hard look at InArt Gandalf and Aragorn as well next to Batman to decide that...?

I am curious what would win 'best figure' from the InArt delivered line-up so far.

I have all 3 and I’d call it a tie. Think I’ve been pretty lucky as I’ve had no real issues with any of them. Still think the unmasked batman is slightly undersized mind.

The cover of the magnet compartment is a bit hit and miss. It does not pop open, I always have to give the base a little slap.

I am not aware that Superman has the same amount of QC issues.

I get your frustration man. My thigh holster arrived backwards as well, and that base plate is a pain to twist off. BUT after a few mods, it’s currently my favorite figure. So to me it was worth it. However, there are people in this forum receiving theirs with missing or damaged pieces, and that’s another story and I hope IA gets their quality control in order. I’m sure it’s no picnic for Kit to have to be the middle man for all those complaints either.

The only thing I’ve seen mentioned more than once in the Superman thread is the suit arriving damaged. Looks to be pretty delicate, but that seems inescapable for something so thin.

Contacted Kit regarding the QC issues on my figure. He gave me the mail of the inart support and said I should contact them and tell them, that I bought it at onesixthkit.

Damn, this sculpt cannot be f**ked with! IA even captured Pattinson's left eye being touch larger than his right. Amazing.

Stock Collar or Oaty Collar? I’ve been trying fit and angle Oaty collar on InArt Batman to how I want it. Oaty collar hides too much of neck from side profile to my likening I think .

The detail and paint aps are next level on the stock sculpt. I've warmed up to it a little. But ultimately, the likeness is where it loses me.

Is Unreal's perfect?
I would say... It's as good as I can ask for, from what I can see. It scratches that itch that Inart's doesn't reach for me.

Yeah it's a cool figure once you have everything in place... but it's not really a fun figure to pose since parts are always loose and falling off. And it reminds me much more of a custom figure that I pieced together myself than something from a licensed company.
