I won't be able to inspect my figure until the end of the month probably.
I'm terrified.

Totally fair. I just think certain collectors have insane and unreasonable standards set for themselves with INART figs, which will lead to disappointment. Like you said, itās as good as it gets for a licensed (mass produced) figure, despite inaccuracies or other design flaws they may have.I haven't heard Gipetto's opinion on this.
But this is as good as it gets for licensed figures. If you're going in with higher expectations, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. (Unless it's a QC problem).
Inart's QC keeps me up at night.
I haven't said anything about being dissatisfied with this Aragorn figure which is what @Scout Trooper was referencing, not other figures. Just b/c I agreed with a lot of Brett's points, doesn't mean I don't like this release. Heck, I spent hours redoing the hair on this figure And I mentioned that I was thankful I didn't get any QC problems with this figure.The @Gipetto0812 standard. Iād love to know what those are for mass production.
Iām aware Scout is referencing Aragorn in particular, but the sentiment he referenced can essentially be applied to all INART figures, IMO.I haven't said anything about being dissatisfied with this Aragorn figure which is what @Scout Trooper was referencing, not other figures.

Harry Potter was the one I expected more from since I did have QC issues (regardless if they are perceived by others as minor or otherwise); though, I've mentioned in that thread that I've come around on it after spending more time on it.
TDK Joker I've been disappointed with since the get go and still am. I'm only keeping for the accessories and the thought of getting the heads redone.
I've had an overall positive impression of Superman and have said as much in my review despite having to scrub that paint off the eyeballs along with a few other things that aren't great on it.
Just b/c you're more forgiving of the QC issues that some of us have experienced, doesn't make them any less valid of a reason(s) for being disappointed with what we're receiving when they occur.
as an aside @Gipetto0812 do you have any pics of your old MoS custom? been thinking about getting that figure done.I haven't said anything about being dissatisfied with this Aragorn figure which is what @Scout Trooper was referencing, not other figures.

Yes this is correct and thank you for the shout out. 2DOUBLE8IGHT run has 3 spots remaining and then I will close the run.There's a couple custom options in the works for the ranger cloak:

While I agree with that, I also think the price that InArt are charging set themselves up as the premiere 1/6 figure company and therefore bring out that higher expectation among collectors, myself included.. What I've finding and am adjusting to for my opinion of them are that to me I'm not finding them that much better than HT if at all in some cases; so, I need to lower my expectations which I think helped in my overall impression with BvS Superman. Though, I do like their finer, more human paint apps at least for HP and BvS Sups headsculpts vs the sort of more blanket production paint apps HT tend to do for every human character.Iām aware Scout is referencing Aragorn in particular, but the sentiment he referenced can essentially be applied to all INART figures, IMO.
And I shouldāve expanded, but this goes out to anyone and everyone, not specifically singling you out.
I do think some collectors have an even higher standard which of course, is a set up for failure ending with disappointment.
Thanks for asking about it! Sent you a PM with all the info/pics I haveas an aside @Gipetto0812 do you have any pics of your old MoS custom? been thinking about getting that figure done.
Ha! I think I'm definitely seen as the more unreasonable one when in comes to InArt but that's fine.In the wise words of Sven the Reindeer from Frozen: āYou feel what you feel, and your feelings are real.ā
That is, unless you have a negative opinion/experience with a doll that someone else loves. Then your feelings are insane/unreasonable/hyperbolic lol.
Price theyāre charging set themselves? So prices that are basically in the same ballpark and either slightly above or in line with Hot Toys pricing, right? Standard sculpted Aragorn was only $335 including tax and overseas shipping costs/fees/etc. Thatās slightly more than a typical Hot Toys SCULPTED figure. Why expect more from INART when theyāre not even that much more than Hot Toys? We can also compare comparable rooted standalone sets if youād like and in some cases, DXAE releases are even more pricey than INART sets, respectively.While I agree with that, I also think the price that InArt are charging set themselves up as the premiere 1/6 figure company and therefore bring out that higher expectation among collectors, myself included..

Jumped onboard for oneYes this is correct and thank you for the shout out. 2DOUBLE8IGHT run has 3 spots remaining and then I will close the run.
Thank you for saying this, I was holding myself from typing the same sentence..I mean really. If InArt Argaorn is Caveman Jesus. Then what on Earth do we call the two Asmus Attempts? Or the ACI? Cave Troll Jesus?
I mean really.
Well, I was. And I can't say my latest experience will be the same as yours. I was dreading the arrival of #2. Not to mention the shipping was slower, took about 18-20 days.****.. What happened?
I won't be able to inspect my figure until the end of the month probably.
