I know some collectors won’t agree with my style of posing and they prefer to push their figures to the max for exciting action poses, but I’m just not one of them.
I like everybody else worry about the durability especially with the costs involved.
When it specifically comes to these new 100% silicone bodies I am all about screen accuracy with museum poses.
For example my Hot Toys Thanos he looks screen accurate and bad ass even though I only have him in a vanilla museum pose.
I’ve seen the same figure posed in some extreme action poses that for me the more dynamic they put him in the more toy like he looks.
That’s just not for me because I am all about protecting the figure at the expense of action poses.
Obviously I’m only referring to the silicone bodies if it’s regular joints like a War Machine then i’m more comfortable with bending the elbows and knees.
So going back to my Thanos I’ve had him since release and I have never ever bent his elbow or knees not even once just for a photo and he is still 100% pristine.
These things are expensive I am not going to open the door for potential damage down the line just so that I can get a corny pose lol
So it will be with this Iron Man I will not be bending his elbows or knees not even once to try it out and I’m perfectly ok with that.
I say bring on the delicate silicone figures!
Sue me lol
