I mean if you really wanna compare Inart for less than the single pack JND you got.
- 2 rooted sculpts
- 2 figures
- Metal and wood diorama
- Diecast weapons
- Detailed seamless arms.
So if JND are charging what they are their product best be dam good but it isn't! That's where the problem is they're asking far too much and not delivering. You can sit and tell the community till you're blue in the face it's not bad but realistically it ain't worth what they want for it.
The same goes for Inart but more-so. What you bullet-pointed, in terms of manufacturing, are run-of-the-mill low cost to produce elements of the overall package. So therefore they've hiked what is low-cost material and manufacture process incredibly high, and the overall result is poor (how can they offer 4 different figures for Joker at the same cost that this package cost with much, much less?)
What JND is offering is more intricate and higher-cost manufacture processes that employ higher cost material and probably longer production time. So at the end JND have used higher cost production and material, and still the only difference is 400 pounds... For me the likeness etc. is much better than Inart. anyway, but regardless of opinion on that you'd be able to explain away a lot of that high cost with the processes they've used.
How can you explain the high costs from Inart considering the end result was bad and they use market standard processes?
Most of the comparisons I’ve seen have mostly been about dollar to value of goods.
$1k for a 2 figure set with an elaborate diorama VS $2k for 1 figure that comes with 2 portraits and dogs. New tech aside, from the first reveal, the portraits left a lot to be desired. A LOT to be desired. The smiling face…cmon man…Joker was played by Ledger, not Fred ‘Mi Scusi’ Armisen.
And the company aimed for the stars, and had an arrogant attitude while doing it. They release the products as is with no revisions…bro, clowning on them was inevitable.
As I mentioned before, if you happen to be one that Po’d it and like what you see…more power to you. I personally don’t understand spending that kind of money just for a ‘coat’ or ‘pants’ to ‘build the ultimate joker’…but if it’s your thing, cool. However, instead of saying congrats on getting the figure, I’d rather say congrats on your wealth/income. Because I just DO NOT see what makes the figure ‘nice’ or even ‘acceptable’. As someone else suggested, had this figure been priced reasonably, maybe the blowback wouldn’t be this ‘intense’.
You're using incorrect arguments, either lying to better your argument, hearing what others are saying or just didn't know. In either of those instances I don't really know how you can be so bold and be factually wrong.
From JND website the figure is $1699
Type C comes with 2 fully clothes figures
Type C comes with two different Silicone sculpted heads, both with rooted hair and glass eyes
One set of fully articulate silicone hands
Other accessories including two bases etc.
So you get two whole figures that you can display separately, with two distinct individual sculpts with actual new technology. In that regard it makes Inart by comparison even worse because both those sculpts, but particularly the prison scene, are pretty awful. I genuinely don't know, just because it's cheaper (it still cost 1k!) how you can justify those sculpts being acceptable for the price that they were just because the diorama has some diecast you can run metal across and make a cool ting ting ting noise?
Regardless, you and others have made it well known the dislike for the figure and company, it's best leave it at that so maybe people who bought it can discuss things outside of just negativity?
