InArt need to : 1st give definitive release dates and stick to them , if they need 2 years , they should write 2 years , not give estimate of 1 year and then add another year on top in delays . Add another year till everybody actually gets it in hand. 2nd They should produce the whole bulk of the quantity and then start shipping it all. No million batches system . And the people excusing them with “ well some POed first , others super late”. -No. InArt have 1 month of PO period . All of the POes are placed then , if you get it by a reseller/retailer , no matter how late you are PO there , that retailer has already POed the quantity in the original 1 month period given by InArt . InArt has to figure it out. People gotta stop excusing them and gotta start expecting better .
@@danielq_4 funny you should mention Toys Wonderland as InArt started to act exactly like them - on time only for the influencers , the rest can wait for years . Reminds me of the people who were excusing them as well.

Will, you were like Captain America in Endgame standing alone defending InArt 😂 😂 Good points from all, but I think I agree more with Keco and Dean. Maybe Paul will be their smoothest release considering the universal praise around Dune and that we could order from them directly
If Will is Cap, then that would make Keco some kind of a hybrid between Iron Man and Captain Marvel, i.e. witty, smart but annoying (at times) girl boss Karen. I'd peg Dean as Nick Fury on the basis of his chilled and mature manner.
I'm excited for all of The Batman releases. He's a top 3 Batman for me with Bale and Affleck. I have the In-Art All In One, HT DX, Batcycle, Conundrum Man (Riddler), Mars Toys Penguin, and biker clothing set all on order. My setup is going to be batsignal in back, rooted Bruce Wayne with the Riddler, rooted Batman with Penguin, DX Batman in flying suit, and then biker clothes Bruce (with HT sculpt) on the batcycle. It's going to be sick. I hope somebody makes an Alfred and a good Selina.
I secured the ARC Trooper. It was my first exclusive purchase. Definitely didn’t expect for it to be shipping already. I think there was some fumbling going on for sure.
I missed the Umbra Trooper email as I was adulting at the time (i.e. a 2 hour student retention zoom meeting!!!) and I don't really care. I agree with Keco- the Umbra Trooper is nice to have, but not essential. If my waitlist converts or I can get it from Toys Buying Agent, great, but I won't lose any sleep over missing this one.
John said in their last interview Inart just spent like 2 months hiring a bunch of staff to bulk up assembly and production, why is this being ignored? Future releases will be delivered faster, and Im hoping that theyve been amassing stock so the release of Batman can be faster with less batches.
A good counterpoint. The proof will be in the pudding I suppose. Let's hope that not only are the waiting times reduced, but also that the exceptional quality is maintained and the QC issues (too many cases of Gandalf missing hands/having duplicate hands) are ironed out.

@@danielq_4 To be as direct as possible, I'm not willing to continually debate this with you. Be respectful or you won't be commenting here, simple as that.
I am still waiting on InArt Gandalf and definitely feel frustrated by the wait. I'm not sure why Inart just doesn't wait until all the figures are made to begin with and then ship everything out at the same time. I feel waiting 2 years between announcement and release is better than waiting 18 months to "release" and then another random amount of time until you actually get your figure shipped
@@WillFoxification”Example” I want to buy 89 Batman with hard earned money now. A waitlist takes the fun out of it. Don’t mean to seem cocky. Just don’t feel I need to be selected. When we are the customers.
Another funny thing is some collectors ask for unlimited stuff it seems that when they give it to people and they didn't get it that's when they want to complain in a small way I can understand why they limit this Clone Trooper because at the end of the day Sideshow has a lot of stuff that they've been trying to get rid of for years and it hurts them as well as hot toys when they see one of their Iron Man figures that are $400 being sold for practically 2:40 or maybe $200 or giving it away for free so that wasn't going to make a lot of batches of something that some people may not even recognize this figure from so they write a limit the number let me sold out and see how badly people wanted and then put the waitlist to convert
The Moduspace Mono is a bit of a weird decision IMO. It essentially has none of the main benefits of either the Detolf or the stackable Moduspace units because it looks like you won't have good visibility into the unit and of course its standalone so the only placement is side by side and you'll probably have to avoid corner placement unless they make a corner unit. The whole point of Moduspace was to maximize the level of display customization so this seems like a step backwards. It's probably a good thing that HT is reducing the batch sizes so they can increase the number of new releases and it does make collecting a bit more interesting by creating some exclusivity. Even though I'm not picking up ROTJ Han, I am excited that HT is making it since it could mean there's some AOTC stuff they've been working on but haven't got around to announcing, maybe Obi-Wan...
The $4400 Queen Studio's HULK looks amazing! ..the slight movement of neck and elbows fails make any sense? Why? At $4400 it is not something for my collection. Besides, i own an unofficial (custom) 1/4 scale Lou Ferrigno HULK with a signed by Lou Ferrigno plaque. He looks great! (they also made a 1/3 scale version of the same piece). Long SOLD OUT! ^_^
Well, considering well over 5000 people were in the queue (including me), plenty of people knew that it was dropping. 🤷🏻 it’s a HT fumble for making so few
I didn't want the Clone Trooper I was getting it as a gift for a friend and I was able to secure the bag but that whole cue system was a complete mess this time they were a good amount of people that were complaining that they didn't quite understand the time frame and people were in the queue lying a lot longer than they were supposed to not to mention the company needs to do better on their timing of emails because I received mine 15 minutes late from the 1:00 time and by the time I looked into that it was already sold out waitlisted but I got mine to give as a gift and the fact that they are shipping these out this year we don't have to wait till next year tells you that this figure is basically reuse parts from other clone troopers and just a repaint
Did I miss it, or did you guys not actually read and discuss the message INART put out on the Batman delay? It sounds like it was delayed so they could fix what people disliked about the Joker's base and magnets. Now, instead of the magnets being fixed, they can be adjusted and moved. Possible adjustments to the figure itself, as well. I think Keco needs a tinfoil hat - speculation was off the charts this week lol. I don't think The Batman was delayed because their cash flow is hurting.
I missed this trooper... this was one I had to have being a huge clone fan. I had 3 browsers open and still missed out. I ended up resorting to ebay for it and paid $200 over. Thats how bad I wanted it,

nice! Yeah it's cool, but not essential for most I'd suspect.
The cyclist is amazing in my opinion. What is the alternative? put the sculpt in the box?
The body is included
it's fair yes!
I was lucky to get the whole crew minus tech obviously for a little under a grand. Got echo Hunter and crosshair for 720, and wrecker for 240.
very cool! This is a nice lineup!

Keco: 🫠
LOL. He asked for a positive topic and I immediately forgot and gave him a negative one

Man, Dean has me nervous on the batman shipments. I'll get three hot toys po's before the inart
I hope it will be much faster than that.
@WillFoxification do you think making so many different types of the figure lengthen the whole process. Rooted and non Rooted, two packs all at once?
I have no interest in the Inart Batman, it looks amazing but I have the hot toys one and that does the job for my shelf.
C- … Keco 🤦🏽
