INART Collectibles 2026: Upcoming 1/6 & 1/12 Figures to Watch
INART Is Expanding Fast — Here Are the Collectibles to Watch
Over the past few years, INART has quickly become one of the most talked-about names in premium collectibles.
Originally best known for highly detailed 1/6 scale figures, the company is now expanding aggressively into 1/12 scale action figures, bringing its sculpting, paintwork, tailoring, and character likenesses into a much more accessible format.
For collectors, that makes INART one of the most interesting companies to follow right now.
And judging by its growing 2026 lineup, the expansion is only getting started.
From Premium 1/6 Figures to a Full 1/12 Line
INART built much of its reputation through premium sixth-scale collectibles featuring realistic portraits, tailored clothing, rooted hair options, and elaborate accessories.
But one of the biggest changes we're seeing is the growth of its 1/12 action figure line.
The official INART catalog now includes or has announced characters from:
- DC
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- The Dark Knight Rises
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Bruce Lee
- Dark Nights: Metal
This gives collectors who may not have the space or budget for a large 1/6 collection another way to experience INART's approach to premium figures.
Batman: Arkham Origins Is Becoming a Major INART Line
One of INART's most exciting expansions is its Batman: Arkham Origins collection.
The original Batman 1/12 Action Figure has already attracted strong collector attention, and INART followed it with a Battle Damaged Version scheduled for its first shipping batch in Q4 2026.
But Batman isn't alone.
INART currently has additional Arkham Origins figures available for preorder, including:
Deathstroke and Batman in the XE Suit.
This is particularly interesting because it suggests INART isn't treating Batman as a one-off release.
They appear to be building an actual Arkham collection.
For collectors who have wanted a premium articulated Arkham display in roughly 1/12 scale, this could become one of INART's strongest lines.
Superman Is Becoming Another Major Focus
INART is also putting significant attention behind Superman.
The company recently opened orders for a new Man of Steel Superman 1/6 Collectible Figure, with the first batch currently estimated for Q2 2027.
There is also a Christopher Reeve Superman from the 1978 film scheduled for an estimated Q2 2027 first-batch release.
At the smaller scale, INART currently has a Batman v Superman Superman action figure available for preorder, with an estimated Q4 2026 shipping schedule.
That means INART is approaching Superman from multiple generations and multiple scales rather than focusing on only one interpretation of the character.
For Superman collectors, that's a very promising direction.
Black Myth: Wukong Continues to Grow
Another category worth watching closely is Black Myth: Wukong.
INART already has several 1/12 releases in this universe, including Zhu Bajie and The Destined One, while upcoming or preorder products include characters and accessories such as:
Yaksha King, Guangzhi, The Fourth Sister, Tiger Vanguard, and the Great Sage Armor Set.
That tells us INART isn't simply releasing the main character and moving on.
They're building enough characters and armor options for collectors to create a much larger Black Myth: Wukong display.
And that is exactly the kind of line-building strategy collectors tend to respond to.
The Walking Dead Is Joining the Premium Lineup
INART is also expanding into The Walking Dead.
Its current product schedule includes Rick Grimes and Negan Smith sixth-scale figures, with Daryl Dixon also appearing as an upcoming release on INART's official schedule.
That introduces another major fanbase to the INART ecosystem and further demonstrates how broad the company's licensing strategy is becoming.
The Lord of the Rings Continues to Be Important
INART has also steadily built out its Lord of the Rings collection.
The company's current catalog includes characters such as Aragorn, while Saruman is among the currently available sixth-scale preorders.
Other characters represented across INART's lineup include Gimli, Legolas, and Thorin.
For collectors who prefer fantasy over superheroes, this continues to be one of INART's most interesting premium categories.
Why the 1/12 Expansion Matters
The most significant development may not be any single character.
It's the scale.
Traditional premium 1/6 figures can be expensive and require considerable display space.
A well-executed premium 1/12 scale line changes that equation.
Collectors can potentially build larger casts, display more characters together, and still receive higher-end sculpting and paint than what is traditionally associated with mass-market action figures.
INART is clearly positioning itself somewhere between the traditional action figure market and the high-end collectible market.
If the company can continue balancing articulation, likeness, quality, and pricing, that could become an extremely important category.
INART Is Becoming a Brand to Watch
At Kicks Generation Toys, we've been watching INART's growth closely.
What makes the company particularly interesting isn't simply the quality of one Batman or Superman.
It's the breadth of what they're beginning to build.
DC.
Black Myth: Wukong.
The Lord of the Rings.
The Walking Dead.
Bruce Lee.
And potentially many more licenses to come.
With both 1/6 premium collectibles and a rapidly expanding 1/12 action figure lineup, INART is becoming a company that collectors may want to keep on their radar.
The question may no longer be whether INART can compete in premium collectibles.
The bigger question is:
How large can the INART universe become?
