The Anatomy of a Pose - A Central Hub for Tips and Tricks to Better Your Figures

And some more...

Christopher Reeve's Superman advances determinedly to face, well... something, until somebody makes a General Zod.


How I display TDKR Batman and Catwoman.


Harley and her boyfriend having their "TA-DA!" moment.

And finally...

Kaustic Plastik's awesome Roman General sporting his finely embroidered toga at his Triumph in the streets of Rome.


And two looks at the amazing Mafex Giger alien. I finally switched the head to the Rambaldi version and posed him in the Kotobukiya display.




I'll see if I also post these pics in the relevant threads to show some love for these older figures...

Oh, what the hell, here's a couple more...

Before Boba's infamous deal with the Empire that helped him secure Jabba's reward for Solo, it was well known that there was no love lost between the Bounty Hunter and the Smuggler, who'd had a few run-ins over the years, none of which had resulted fatal for either.



EDIT: Odd... it's the first time a pic gets posted sideways.

I've had the same problem lately. I've had to take pictures in landscape mode to get them to post upright.

Wahhhh

Saving beautiful maidens in distress, just the a regular day's work for a Knight... Are plastic boobies allowed? If not, please delete or let me know and I'll take the pic down. This is of course PopToys excellent "Saint Knight" figure (really beautifully made) and one of TBLeague's older bodies (a 09 I believe) that I got a long time ago to use for a Milla Jovovich custom that I never got around to. The head is some Black Widow knock-off.

Further exploring of the possibilities of the NECA alien figure in terms of posing:

It's been doing it to me too. Annoying...

I love how you can tell a story with a pose, even if it's only one tantalizing sentence of a story.

A few contributions:

^^ Awesome setups!

Man, I'd definitely want a CooModel Werewolf, they seem so scarce. I like how have a few Sideshow Timbers in there too.

The last thing some rebel scum wants to run into, an Imperial patrol with little patience at the end of a long day safeguarding the peace in the unruly outposts of the galaxy.



From left to right:
Stock HT ROTJ, kit bashed SSC with HT ROTJ abdomen armour and codpiece, kit bashed HT ROTJ with HT ANH chest/abdomen armour & codpiece, and SSC belt.
Oddly enough, I really like the "hang" of the SSC trooper, looks very natural.

Revival time. I posted in the Star Wars forum and got on an improv TED talk about display and posing. Time to continue the fight against tacky displays one pose at a time. Come contribute!

Love the use of the ooze Monte!

Never underestimate the power of expression hands for "at the draw" positioning. Don't forget to readjust gauntlets to align with wrist anatomy and gloves!
