I never said you yourself would damage the figure yourself. I mentioned that as a general statement, and didn’t think someone did that specifically about the Gandalf short hair.I was the one with the short hair gandalf. My joker, batman and aragorn also had issues. All bought through reputable stores that have direct contact with Inart. They all provided proof of contact with them. And none help whatsoever from Inart. Always get some tip or trick for a diy solution or they say it’s within their standards. Gandalf I even got a direct response from inart themselves via instagram saying it was within standards. I really don’t get the “maybe they did it themselves” train of thought. Why the hell would I do that? Spend €700 and cut the hair short so I can complain on a forum, I wish I had that much money to spend on something as trivial that.
Anyways glad you are a fan of theirs, no missing that.
I’m a fan of their potential but starting to lose faith in them.The qc issues are definitely not overblown. They need to get a grip. We are paying premium prices for these figures so qc and cs need to be premium as well. Definitely holding off for a while. Haven’t seen one figure yet without qc issues. Might jump back onboard when they straighten it out.
And Idk, but this all goes back to the fact that most of us are not direct customers ourselves. The third party intermediate showed you what they messaged INART? There’s a definite grey area here that we simply have no control over.
Their QC issues are overblown imo. It stands to reason that the vocal crowd will voice their QC issues (some of which isn’t even a big deal), but unless I’m shown numbers and data, the way I see it is that it’s the smaller percentage, not the majority. Most people have good experiences with INART and not all copies have issues. Naturally, people will voice out negative feedback. Not just for 1/6 figures, but with everything in life. It’s much easier to leave a bad review than a good one for most people. If you have data that can show that all/majority of INART products are defective, please show me. I insist. And I’ll happily eat the ever loving **** out of that crow. I’m not someone who is narrow minded and not open to change and criticism or can’t be proved wrong. I just take things with a grain of salt, and in my own anecdotal observations, INART is for the most part fine, especially not enough to be written off. And I’ve said this before, but if I received legit QC issues, I expect Kit to take care of me if it’s legitimate. Who knows where some of y’all order from. There’s been people on this board that have been asked to destroy the original sculpt to get a replacement. That seems fair to me. Sucks to wait of course, but they’re at least getting a new and hopefully sculpt good sculpt without issues. There’s definitely some people voice their positive experiences with getting replacements. Don’t act like it doesn’t happen.
And I can’t stress enough but know that I do feel empathy towards those with QC issues. It’s obviously disappointing and frustrating. Hell, I’d be sad too! Idk why some of you make it seem like I’m turning a blind eye.
That being said, I think most of y’all should call it with wanting their products though. I don’t think they’re worth the hassle for some of you. Just my two cents.
