I commend JND for taking on collectors feedback (wish they would for Arwen!) but I have to agree that the OG especially in the eyes capture Reeve perfectly. As Daniel initially said, most of the issue was with the high hair which is easily rectified. I think the best option would be to ask the community via email which they would prefer and go with the consensus like what they did with the Catwoman base recently. As I've purchased the duo set, I would definitely pick the OG from the images shown so far.
Impressive quality on both. And about Amber heard and Depp, people should simply let it go for both! It shouldn't prevent people from appreciating the quality of the bust.
Both capture certain elements of Christopher Reeve's likeness, and the realism is impressive, but overall neither look that accurate. Out of the two, the OG (eyes, eyebrows and nose all excellent) looks more like Christopher Reeve, though it looks like the disheveled/naughty Superman from Superman 3 instead of how he appeared in the 1978 film. Here's hoping that Inart eventually gets it right with their 1/6 figure.
90% of the conversation is that the original face sculpt is better. I have no idea what is going on over there or why they did this but JND if you are reading, PLEASE go back to the OG!
Dude this change makes me so sad. I am actually going to be cancelling my preorder because if it. It’s so heartbreaking. The slightly older, more gentle version was so special and unique. This change feels so sad and cheap, and worst of all, it looks like the most boring, typical Superman face sculpture ever. Like a Wish version of JND
I like the OG better. This is another collector's fault. Some people are just never happy, and they force big companies like JND Studios to change their minds, good job people 👏
@@SOScollector I agree, the mouth muscles are too narrow now, the eyes are off and for some reason the smirk is gone. It's not a big difference but its definitely worse than the OG.
I like the hair better on the new one and clean shaven face but the OG is the better sculpt. Maybe combine the two for the final product. In the end it will still be the best Christopher Reeve collectible statue by far.
The likeness in the eyes, the width of the head, the hair length and style, the mouth, and lack of expression... The only "improved" aspects are that he looks younger, more healthy and his hair is jet black.
Inart has the better figure for sure but how did they not include a Diorama base to go with it? The HT one comes with a red step base that makes it a much better value. You can spend $400 on a inart figure plus accessories or you can spend $400 on a HT figure with led base, with extra suit, with lithograph poster as well as accessories.
Each figure has its own strength. I agree that HT gives us more with their price. But, maybe some would choose the better figure over the base and accessories. And here, the Inart standard (sculpted hair) costs $325 shipped.
@@SOScollector agreed. As much as I would have loved to have the inart figure I do not feel it is that much better enough to sell the HT one that I have and have it replaced with this one. Especially considering how long I've had it for and how much fun it's been, I just don't understand the need for selling HT one and having to wait again for a figure that's only a little better.
@@aaronsalazar746 of course don’t sell what you already had. It’s an amazing figure! I was talking about some of us who still don’t own a Batman figure, then we could choose to get what we think we love more. I don’t think you could be disappointed with either of them.
On one hand, I didn't expect the headsculpts to be so massively better in Inart's Batman, on the other, I think HT did a Great job with the suit, They do look pretty close in most areas. Definitely seems like Hot Toys went a bit too oversized with the headsculpts.
I still think HT's a solid release. Beautiful sculpt and all. But, after seeing Inart released, I feel that this is kinda the next level of 1/6 figure. And yeah totally agree that HT's head sculpt is a bit oversized. I don't think one can be disappointed having one of these!
Thanks for the link. As I wrote on the thumbnail and description, all credit goes to the Chinese collector. Initially the man only posted on Chinese social media.
