This is refreshing to see! This is not just the same ol' generic poses that you see everywhere on YT. It shows your committed to bringing the figure to life and your respect for that character, and in that your respect for the figure. I love how you incorporated all the natural physiology into all parts of your poses, i.e., the weight distribution in the hips, legs and elbow and shoulders, and the use of the fabric to exhibit movement or wind blowing. This is quality work and it could've only come from your attention to detail. Excellent work! 👍👍 I look forward to your next video and if you'd like a suggestion, maybe a clone or stormtrooper. I've always found they are the most challenging figures to bring to life because you can't see their faces. It's all about "implied" expressions with helmeted figures. It's a challenge, but when you get it right it feels good. Thanks again, you should be proud, Darth Maul looked very much alive. 👍👍

Thank you so much for the compliments! I say this every blue moon when we receive comments like these, but it's the same every time. We try our best to show our love for collecting through our footage by giving each figure the showcase they deserve. While the lighting conditions might not be replicated in the collection display, I think it's important to show details we can't see under flat lighting. The same can be said for our this series. Posing is important for the display, so we try our best to provide a few options depending on the space a collector might have. It's great to hear when a lot of those smaller details are noticed, so thank you! We definitely have clones on our radar! The bodies vary between the 501st release and the Standard Clones. The same can be said for ARC Trooper Jesse and Rex due to their pauldrons. The hope is that it doesn't burn you all out because of all the variations, so we'll need to plan accordingly. Like you mentioned, it's also nailing the expression through the helmet which can be tricky. We have some ideas though, so stay tuned! Thank you again for leaving such an awesome comment, and we hope you like what we have planned for the series! 😄🙌🏼

You're more than welcome, quality, time and care should always be given the best lighting it deserves. As for the clones, it was just a thought because it's always a challenge for me to show "emotion" through a helmet and I've always found that just the slightest head tilt, shoulder position or torso twist can convey so much. Vader is a good example of what I mean. As for the clone challenges (as I don't see them as problems, just an obstacle to overcome) the body differences and the pauldrons, I always approach it with the attitude of "Ok, how can I bring you to life with what I have to work with. The character is in there, now I just need to bring you out" I've always enjoyed your vids, so I'll be looking out for what you have coming! Thanks too for pointing out that it's not about how many figures you have, but more about appreciating the characters and what you do with the figures you do have! Also, it's important to make sure it stays "Fun" because isn't that why we all got into this hobby in the 1st place! @@BostonCollectors 🙌😄 p.s. I'll be "borrowing one of those Maul poses, just not sure which yet! of course, with the disclaimer of "This pose courtesy of Boston Collectors" 👍😉

Thank you! We wanted to try out snack sized content without information overload. The hope is that it wasn't too lengthy to detour anyone from trying, but explaining it just enough for collectors to give posing a shot. I don't really see much for Jango sadly. That's a good one though, I'll write that one down. 🙌🏼 I just had someone ask for Mando earlier on. They made a good point, so both of those are great options for a future video! Thanks for watching, Mr Media! 🙌🏼

Great idea for a series, quality of the poses and video is great. It's perfect for people like me that have trouble deciding what pose to go with, especially when trying to limit manipulating the figure too much to avoid any damage or degradation.

Hello. Your channel is undoubtedly my favorite in terms of Reviews of 1:6 scale figures. The videos are elegant, just the right length, with fairly complete analysis and exceptional production quality. And it's a great idea that you're now helping us with something as important as posing. A pose elevates or destroys a figure, and a good pose is something that not everyone has the ability to achieve. As a suggestion for the next figure to pose... I have to emphatically propose the Mandalorian beskar (the first version and unmodified). It is a figure that can be found in any Star Wars collection but it is a very difficult figure to pose naturally given the limitations of the fat suit, and with a cape that also has its trick to make it look good. A video like this would be very helpful.

@BostonCollectors

Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot. We try our hardest to provide the best content we can, so hearing comments like this helps us know we're doing right. The Mandalorian is a great choice actually. Luckily enough I didn't remove he body suit on the latest version, but they all share the same body anyway. Could be a lot of fun! Thank you for the recommendation, we'll look into it! 🙏🏻

So, you are not only the master of HT videos, you're also the master of posing. 😁😁 No, I don't feel inadequate at all. 🙄🙄🤣🤣 This is one of my fav figures, and the one I have reposed the most. However, due to some unfortunate occurrences early in my collecting, I always use a stand for my figures, and that can be limiting.
