Love the content. One of my pet peeves is seeing people pose their figs in the most unnatural/stiff poses lol. Love what you did with your poses and the constant tweaking til everything was just right 👌🏻
These’re awesome! Thanks for the inspiration! I especially liked the kicking and crouching poses. The kicking pose looks really realistic, and Batman still maintains his balance with it. The crouching pose solves my problem of having too many figures on the same level. 😅
You know I didn't realize how much of an art form and difficult it is for most to pose action figures until a handful of years ago. Being a lifelong artist, and hardcore action figure collector since '95, I clearly thought anyone can do it right...and boy was my perception off. Even though all that came natural to me, I used to pose all my figures essentially like little soldiers in formation, until a guy at work that doesn't even collect looked at my photos and pointed out how boring everything looks. I realized even when they're in rows (not battle scenes), you can still put them in dynamic poses with it not looking weird. Doing that, you create a little story for each figure. Then when you throw some on various height flight stands, it brings even more life to everything. My favourite stands are the Obitsu ones.
Thanks for the background…especially the story about the guy at work! It’s funny how someone else can just totally change how you do things. And thanks for the recommendation on the stands. If I ever decide I need some, I’ll give those a look 👍
Good stuff buddy i freaking love this Mafex Batman it’s so much better then i thought i didn’t think it could come close to the black Hush version and TDKR Batman Triumpant but damn it’s dope with the different looks and the capes
Wanna say I really appreciate your time with making this tutorial, and making it clear you're here to help...means a lot. So I'm needing some help with removing the shiny spots on this figure caused by the plastic tray pressed up against it. Not finding a lot of info regarding this online. I don't think heat will remove it, or Novus #2 ('cause that's for scratches); so the only other thing I can think of is Magic Eraser. That definitely gets rid of scuffs, but this isn't your normal kind of scuff. Just hoping there's a way to restore it that doesn't involve using some matte sealer. It's not a typical issue with Mafex, but they packed this release so tight. Would've been the ideal time to throw in a thin little sheet of plastic over the figure- like they've occasionally done.
I have a couple spots, too, and have no idea what to do. I’d be worried about a Magic Eraser just because I’ve used it before and it’s dulled the finish on the wall I was scrubbing. It’s probably something a customizer could help with. I think the Dave Wonder channel has customizing nights…you could probably ask there and get some help
@@Toypixx I ordered several, and they're in the same spots - where I've caught them in a couple reviews too. Hard to catch on camera, which I guess is a pretty good thing. I'll send Dave Wonder a message and hope for the best. In the meantime, I'll try some heat...hair dryer and boiled water. And least those options can't harm the plastic, like possibly Magic Eraser could. I have used that on several figures and vehicles, and no damage occurred...but those weren't the _exact_ same kind of plastic as this.
Great stuff. This were some really good poses. Like the way you utilized the cape in each one.
Thanks! Hope you found it helpful for your own stuff 👍

😂 Great call on the display levels! I didn’t even think of that. And thanks‼️

One other pose I would’ve liked to see is one hand holding his cape close to his eyeline to cover his face. That’s how I’ve got mine currently posed.
It’s an art, thanks Peter Griffin
