Help with poses etc...

I sent you a PM. I'll try to remember to see if you respond tonight, but if i dont remember i'll check tomorrow sometime. good luck with the poses.

 

Am I the only one who has a hard time gettin' some of the ML's to stand?

 

i really doubt it. mystique, captain america series 1, sometimes series 4 punisher, urban legends daredevil, series 3 thor, and a few others are the hardest to stand in my case. even galactus likes to fall over.

 

Mine all stand pretty good.

 

mystique will never ever stand
took along as time for me to get mullet bishop to stand
but bald bishop stand alright,nowhere near the troubles i had with mullet
every one else is pretty good

 

oh and i guess angel will never stand either
hes always on a flight stand
and his left leg is kinda warped, so he wouldnt stand anyways

 

OK well here is what i think should be fixed if you are looking for new poses
venom-ive never read a single comic, but that figure always looked cooler to me if he had his legs bent kinda like spiderman when he was swinging

iron fist-again, never read a comic, but he looks cooler in a crouching kung fu pose

carnage-does he even have webbing?

movie goblin-make him crouching on his glider, looks cooler

storm-it looks alot better if you put one foot on one of the outside pegs of the storm, and one foot on the lower inside peg of the storm

youve got an odd choice or two on your wall, and if anybody should be on a wall/in flight, it should be human torch, its tough to get a good natural pose with his base, but it looks good when you figure it out

id put nightcrawler in more of a crouching spiderman type pose

id put bishop in a ready to fight stance with his guns drawn

id put magneto on a flight stand with one hand extended

and if you are gonna be crunched for space, take the green goblin and hobgoblin and use fishing string to hang them from the ceiling of a shelf to look like they are in flight, i noticed you had tacks on the shelf, might as well use them

kudos on the ghost rider pose, it looks really cool

and dr doom looks silly,id make one arm at his side and one up in the air

and battle ravaged spidey would look cooler laying down in from of rhino or lizard, or fighting them

 

some easy tips for posing*

-Dynamic, the more pushed pose your fig is in.. the more spectacular it will be

-Comics, refer to comic pics for classic dynamic poses

-Emotion, the body has its own language, use it

-Life, pay attention to human anatomy and poses.. and dont put your figs in poses that no human could do

-Detail, if a leg is twisten the wrong way... a head tilted another... toes pointing up when there standing flat footed, etc.... you must pay attention to detail, these figs are HIGHLY articulate.. use it.


if you need any more help, refer to my link... theres plenty of pictures where you can get some ideas

 

balance.... you have to move them around a bit to balance a few... none of mine have been falling lately

 

awsome, glad to be of some help, and ya.. it does take time... but i kinda have an OCD with my figs... i feel the need to make time ... lol hell i cant sleep if i get new figs and havent set them up yet... lol

 

most of them are fine now. mystique hasnt fallen in a while. Thor will always fall though cause his legs are loose, but at least i'll be getting the WM one soon, at least i hope so. once i get my own house, i'll be putting some on walls etc.

 

haha

ya ne time u need help.. lemme know

 

ya.. my thor use to fall often... but i have him flying now...

 

My Suggestion to SsM. When dealing with limited wall space...don't space the figs. As you get more and more you will need more room. Fill those gaps.

 

I don't think I can!


One quick Q. Why do you have so man " " and " :x " all over the place in your posts?

 

They are probably Smilies from another Board.

 

But they don't work, sooo, stop using 'em.
