1/6 INART (Queen Studio) - The Dark Knight - Joker Collectible Figure

[Hando]

Do any rooted hair aficionados know how to create little waves?

You're telling me that's supposed to be the same green vest? Fabric looks much thicker and doesn't lay well on the left.

You'd be very surprised what a futzing job could do to a fit

Uncle clipper

Clipper King is a great reviewer and don't bs anyone. I'd love a review by him.

Oh I meant water treating the clothes actually, but agreed the hair needs some finessing.

I'm no professional futzer so would love to hear more about this

 

[Gowithasmile!]

Yes you basically saturate the outift with water and arrange it/press it into position/create folds etc when wet, so when it dries it looks sharper and hangs more naturally.

Oh wow thats cool. I didn't know you could stuff like that with figures clothing!

I like Justin and his videos, but I'm not sure he was really the best choice for something like this. I think Inart would have been better off just releasing some new pics and videos of their own, with some proper lighting and futzing.

Huge difference. Yeah Justin's video did more harm than good imo. Overblown lighting, not knowing how to futz the figure, weird camera lens distortion. They should have just stuck with the production Joker video that they released and called it a day.

 

[Spanbauer]

With a camera you get huge distortion not just resolution. It is really hurting how the proportions are looking in that video I think. The paint is a different story but the hair I suppose can be styled. The question is how do you style a dolls hair?

Oh yeah I wouldn't even fret about proportions from the video - no reason to think those would have changed from the prototype. I'm just looking at execution of the kinds of details that are difficult to replicate at scale. It's still a great looking figure of course, but it's not what they promised for the price they were asking.

You just dip your fingers in a bit of water and comb with your fingers, no brush, at most use a toothpick.

Do you curl the hair around the toothpick?

but with joker it’s not so simple.

Then he’ll blow both of them up!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Those two InArt photos of Joker that Nick D posted happen to be my favorite pictures... perfectly lit and posed... but to compare those to screengrabs of Justin's overlit review is a great disservice.

Here's a fast comp, I brightened the proto pic up to better match Justin's... colors are still off and obviously the proto is still better, but a 'different figure entirely' seems harsh. The "make-up" is smeared in the same incorrect places on both, the color of the hair is very close once you adjust lighting, proto has a better hair style... but we haven't yet seen what we're really getting.

I'm pretty sure I can get Justin's Joker to look very close to the other with a little work

On another note, I can't believe some of the new guys here are willing to spend $1,000 on a figure but don't know anything about futzing or water treatment. Talk about jumping in at the top.

Man, I fear there's going to be a lot of people angry over this expensive dollie.

 

[Hologram AI]

hear you, but with joker it’s not so simple. You guy’s familiar with the yunsil purple Joker coat? Collectors have had the hardest time futzing it because it’s too much material, too thick, basically swallows the figure and not much you can do about it. That appears to be the case here tenfold.
Thankfully they’ve included wires in the bottom of the coat but still.

Except Inart's jacket looks thinner than Yunsil's. I honestly think Yunsil's jacket is worse than Inarts and that outfit ran for like $600? Forgot how much it was but still. Inart has a thinner purple jacket overall. Just look at the lapel and overall material alone.

Has to be one of Yunsil’s worst runs and I put that heavily down to the run organizer.

Not just the new guys. I've been collecting these things for seven years and still know nothing about futzing or water treating clothes.

There’s really no ‘art’ to it to be fair.

Just soak the costume and pinch, squeeze, pull, fold as you want the clothes to hang and they will stay (for the most part) that way when they dry.

For this release though I would soak the coat separately and squeeze out, then dry separate from the rest of the outift in case any dye bleeds. Then replace it onto the figure, soak it again and futz it as desired.

Will make the world of difference with this outfit as it’s such a a layered one.

I am definitely one of the new guys, and i honestly had never heard of water treatment before but i know about futzing. I might try water treatment when i get mine, but I'll probs just futz with it a bit and I'll be happy. I'm not too fussed about that kinda stuff.
