One of the bigger problems for me with the HT figures is the materials in the torso. The metallic breastplate and chunky padding around the abs are just plain inaccurate and glaringly so. It's something that's been pointed out since the very beginning and has yet to be addressed by Hot Toys even after their headsculpt and proportions update. Take one look at the InArt promo photo, as dark it is, and you can immediately tell the difference and see how much closer it looks to the movie. Even with their adjustments to the proportions, the body in the Hot Toys figure still looks off in comparison as well.

there's still lots to improve from hot toys. im holding off judgement till i see more pictures, but the chestplates are completely off. the more matte finish over the glossy look that hot toys has is accurate to the film.
i would like to see closer up pictures of the bat cowl and how hot toys did their eyes. he had some mad big eyes in initial promo pictures.
if inart can mantain that leather grain he has going and with their production joker turning out like this, very visible skin texture. then hot toys should be iin trouble.
we also can't forget, inart teased this awhile back. im assuming this is to pair with batman (possibly standard?) while funeral is a separate figure entirely with its own different hair piece and without eye make up. if inart can put out a batman with a swappable bruce wayne sculpt. diecast gadgets a magnet base for the 350~ or 400~ ball park for standard. im ditching hot toys.
just initial pictures. inart's batman makes hot toy's look like a toy-toy. which it is, but inart looks like it represents batman better.

Which HT height are you speaking of?
Right - lighting is enhancing this tease quite well, but still...don't think I'm willing to pay $450+ for a 12" figure just because it looks 99% accurate

Im going to stick with my Hot Toys order for The Batman (and hope the InArt isnt too insanely better when they both release) but if there is a Cavill Superman even as a spec on the horizon I will eagerly await that one.

hot toy's modified body with zhao's 1.0 cowl. very impressive and imposing for what it is, but probably out of most collector's price range for something that's essentially a statue due to the resin sculpt being fixed. looks very impressive. i missed out on 1.0 so hoping to join his 2.0 run. but customs has me ****** right now.
both affleck and superman were teased by inart to be in their 2022-2023 roaster. i just hope its bvs or man of steel cavill.

Only real issue (that may just be the angle) is ears on the cowl look ever so slightly too long and a touch too wide at the base.

yes definitely notice the ears being longer compared to the real suit
