Well, it took me a few hours, but I finally got my Inart Joker's hair the way I like it.

I went for the part of the film right after he was hung upside down by Batty,

Looks FAB-U-LOUS! 🤣
 
well yea there's that too :lol there are a lot of ppl who just take the figure out, plop it on the stand in an A stance w/ little to no futzing and proudly display their figure looking like a drunk in a cheap suit at the courthouse
couldnt have said it better.

these figures that i kinda consider as a bridge between hot toys quality and customs, outside of its flaws has a lot of potential of looking very classy and good but its all within the hands of the collector to either make it look like **** or masterful.

perfect comparison is someone like fabs (that ralei.gh sent) to this copy, where they took the care and attention to dress and futz the figure properly. that vest has been known to look like a life vest and the collars, some people cant take care of loosening the buckle around the necks and they just shove it in with the neck bunched horribly

Inart really dropped the ball on the prison figure. Huge downgrade from the prototype. I think the hair on mine will have to be trimmed to get it to where it needs to be but I dont think Im willing to try that yet

Doesn't need to be trimmed at all. Just slick it back and tilt his chin down. Lean his body forward a bit as well. Don't be afraid to use a lot of water. You want to make sure that the ends of the hair, the part that is close to his shoulders, is pulled back and pressed closer to the sculpt. Having it be forward and outwards away from the sculpt is what makes a lot of these photos of the sculpt look bigger than it is. That's what I did with mine and he's been displayed like this since on my shelf.

Don't think they really dropped the ball at all. It's a great looking alternative set. Just requires some finesse and futzing which comes with the territory of rooted hair. Be mindful of how you have his shoulder and arms posed as well. There's a reason I have his elbows pointed outwards and his shoulders pressed up and out. Gives his chest and overall upper portion of his body a wider look to counter any bigness his head might display.

That's my photo and agreed! This isn't even anything specifically tied to INART either.

People have been poorly posing, futzing and displaying their figures for almost 20 years now. You have people popping their figures straight out of the box and just displaying them like this:

Not saying you need to be a professional or anything in these things but damn, put some tender love and care to the figure when putting it on display. We spend too much money on these figures for them to looking so awkward. Look at references, try to copy some poses and make them look more natural.

That looks amazing there. I will give it another pass at some point and give it the time it needs also

couldnt have said it better also hope its okay i shared your photo, it was something i saved awhile ago because i loved how the hair and futzing looked and hope to replicate or take pointers in how the hair looked
 
Yea even though it’s my least favorite of the two sculpts (3 if you include the HT now), the hair on the jail sculpt just needs to be worked with to look closer to the proto. This is how mine came out when I worked with it a couple months back

gonna get mine soon in about a few days now that spec sent shipping out. I'm guessing you just used a paint brush and water to sort of get the product out so its more moveable to adjust?

Yup and tweezers to help separate the hair. There’s a ton of product in it if yours is anything like ours were from earlier batches.
