Some of your poses are good, but that's not how you add backgrounds
Lighting, the lighting from your background etc has to match, color tone etc.

Same here, not that it stops me from trying lol. I have started to experiment with adding in backgrounds, which I think helps a little.

Terrific shots! Can I ask how you do your backgrounds? Do you use Photoshop? What color is your figure back drop, do you use green or blue or another color? Thanks.
That last pic makes me want to buy this right now. I am drunk so I can tell my girlfriend it's not my fault, right?

It definitely can be tricky replacing a background and making it look good. Focal length, perspective, lighting etc if not taken into consideration can make it look like garbage. I still consider myself pretty novice but one of the most fun parts is color toning and getting them to match.

I use the word photoshop very lightly, since I’m really just cutting and pasting using an iPhone app. I normally just take pictures against my wall, which is obviously wrong

Hey, I never said I was doing it right! I think it was Brainiac who put up a tutorial on how to do it right but I can’t find it right now. If I ever do, I might try it. For now I think it just makes them less boring.

Chill, I never said you were wrong.
Actually a black or white background will make the figure stand out more, you don't have to go fancy on your backgrounds.
RIP to my Snowtrooper flight stand that broke after one day of ownership lol.

Great pic De@df00l! 
Yeah, he definitely has that queer guy look from the photo.
Schumacher style
This is probably my favorite figure that I own. I have so much fun shooting pics of him! The only thing I don't completely like is the Quill sculpt. I'm hoping by adding rooted hair (hopefully within the next two months), I'll like it, but we'll see.
It's been unseasonably cold here, so I took him out today for a snowy shot.
And just one I took a few days ago.
