This thread will keep posting up my every seamless figures that I customized and posing. Welcome for comments and critiques...
Playing Barbie doll may be fun with changing clothes but action figure bend their limbs too! I am here to share my poses collection. *They are all customized figures since I use original plain bodies from Phicen.*
I am currently having fun with these figures, as I am a hobbyist photographer and feel so great how peaceful shooting with these models...
And keep posing these figure I found my way to improve posing skill (when asking my sister only to do a proper sit pose for a photo 
)....
I am still not great in pose section but hope this compilation would spark you some idea......
Here are some theories for posing by my research..
1 - Balancing. - Our body keeps balancing all the time, without this your figure will look odd...When your waist swing around, your shoulder will balance another side. And if you doing extreme pose with shoulder, your head will keep straight. Just similar how chicken head works.
2 - Gestures. - Every movement has a meaning, at least for a nice frame when taking photo. You will swing up your palm, and slap on idiot face, when you get mad with them. Gestures will also affects from a hand to another hand, because our limbs are gathered. your left arm will swing to the front when your right foot step forward. Balance! yeah......
3 - Curves. - Curves are for the posing feature.....A snake always look dynamic and nice than a stick. See how fashion designs work...
4 - Eye contact. - This is not only for figures. A good portrait photo always tell you good from the eyes....Although figures are always with a fix face, but you still can have 2 ways to play the eyes part. Completely looking on camera (with confident), or make him/she looking far away from camera (unaware of camera)....Other than this, your figure will otherwise look like so shy to looking on camera, and kind of....keep looking the photographer to give direction for posing or something....if you know what I mean.
Ostrich:"HEY YOU!!"
5 - Lighting - Lighting is a key to bring out the figure looks real, because they are so small, real-life lighting cannot create enough shadow for them. So we need to make a 1/6 scale lighting for them....A flash from a camera phone could do the job.....and believe me or not..If you want an elegant lady, put big torch on her face, no shadow; If you want a smart-elegant lady boss for bad side, put on top to make her looks strong; If you need a handsome face, put on top-side to create the eye socket shadow...he will look like frown and think deep; If you want a ghostly face, just put the torch below him.....
Finish bluffing nonsense.......
