Got mine today through Sideshow. Have pics up on my IG account. I LOVE him!!!!! He is an amazing figure.
Congrats! He looks great and I love the Wayne customs hanging out in the background.

Swapped the foot pegs with some spare extended pegs. Makes a huge difference in toe articulation. Thanks Tony Mei for the tip
That knee-bend is seriously.....wtf lol

I was thinking the same thing.
Great pics, but that knee bend does not look natural at all. I've always despised that second knee joint HT puts on their figures at the shin.
Nice posing.

Thank you for teaching folks the proper way to use the double-joints.For a more natural look on double jointed HT articulations:
- use the bottom elbow articulation:
- and the top knee articulation:
Otherwise it looks like the figure has no knees or elbows.

Thanks for these photos! this is a good tip!
I personally pose my figs that have double jointed knees like this as well. Much more natural. It baffles me the amount of people who don't have this down. I cringe whenever I see it posed from the lower joint of the knee.

Thought it was taboo to give advice on posing lol. But yeah I've always found it better to maximize the ROM at the anatomically appropriate hinge before trying to get increased ROM at the 2nd one. Otherwise you get a curved extremity as opposed to a bend between 2 straight segments.
Great pics Tourist.

Nice pic.
As I mentioned, I can't stand that second knee joint. Looks utterly unnatural.
I'm not really giving advice on posing, just a small tip that can help get the best out of poses.
I prefer him with shorter pegs but it's a matter of taste.I wonder with the peg mod does he seem too lanky now
Nice poses btw.

To be honest if a pose that is articulated makes a figure look unnatural or like a toy I won't do it, I'd rather a semi-museum pose with dynamic posing added in that makes it look like a statue in whatever pose it is in. So as well as material stretching being an issue, just the fact that they can go from extremely life-like and like they're taken from a movie still to extremely toyish and over-articulated; especially in leg bending and crouching positions, I just won't do them.
The best advice to give, if you really care about your posing is, once you have it in a pose recreate the pose with your own body. If you feel stupid and/or unnatural then your figure is that way also.

Sorry but that looks horrible.

They are wince-inducing. But there's no point of being negative without offering advice.
Like I said, get into those poses yourself and you'll see and feel yourself what's wrong with them. Probably the most obvious one is that in all of them he has no torso rotation or bending. If you're in an action pose your torso is always contorted with where you're throwing your weight of the body. At the moment his legs and arms are articulated but his body, head and facial expression are static.
And even though his legs are articulated, they're bent in a way that people just would not do, and I don't mean the double-jointed knee being used. But that his leg is banding backwards so much so that in life you would fall or twist/break a bone because it would be buckling under your body weight.
Try posing the figure after pictures of people in action poses, see if that helps if you can't do it from imagination. hopefully you see improvements!

The guy that posted the poses probably tried after seeing that advice but he realized he doesn't have double-jointed knees.
