Action Figure Posing Compilation (Messing with Plastic/PVC/Clay Families!)

Well well...we are soon stepping into 2020!!! Happy New Year everyone!!

recently I added a new customized DEA or CIA agent into my collections. I bought this Tom Hanks (Saving Private Ryan) head sculpt and it looks great for me....although it lacks some sculpt details..



Body, this time, I am the first time to use Damtoys's Spade 2 Gangster Kingdom body, it has over-exaggerated body proportion, and I had some weird time to adjust his arms because the joints on his arms are kind of....he has 3 arm joints each side




So far I am still studying DEA and CIA, and how they work between an agent and in-fight status....I hope this figure is not too wrong for his pieces of equipment.....I try to make it simple as I can        

This is the body I used for him...in case anyone of you guys curiously..the body itself looks bulkier than normal body, the arms and legs are the same sizes with the normal body though....the only thing bugging me is the arms design.....other than that everything is ok for me....

I'm new to the forum. I envy, admire and enjoy the realism of the 1/6th scale.

Welcome aboard, Damon. Have you gotten anything in the scale yet? Please feel free to share, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. We have experienced collectors/bashers, and some newbies like yourself. Everyone is welcome.

Anything we could help?

Very nice use of that Tom Hanks head, and your character looks and poses great!

Invent some more characters I guess maybe good to start a long story

Just wondering what you don't like with those arm articulations. I mean that seems to me like the ideal articulation design for a fully-covered figure, with bicep swivel joints and double-hinged elbows, meaning its "realistic" in sense that when you pivot your forearm, your bicep follows.

Btw, your bashes and poses look great.

Thank you~~! The arms design, not worst, just not perfect. The main problem is the shoulder (or called deltoid) kind of merged with arms itself, so when he rest down or doing the movement with hands down, it looks like he lost his shoulder, but the other side, he gets wider "mountain" shape on his body, if he raised his arms, he becomes a tank, like below




this hurt my balls...    

other than that this body works quite well for me....

Hey guys,

here comes a little video I made to record my latest photoshop practice...This time I try to make a movie scene, and maybe keep doing the same series for a while....

I must say I am still not get well with this kind of scene merging works, sometimes whack my out, results get randomly...I hope I could achieve some level about this, then.....hmmmmmm I got bigger plan for this huge play ya wakakakaka

well that was mesmerizing.... seriously though I really enjoyed that, you have many talents

Man you really know your Photoshop! The filmgrain is a nice touch. My favourite part was when you pulled the shadow out of Hom Tanks' body.

Very cool, if understandably fast-paced video. It still provides an insight into your method and skills, and the result is glorious.

The 3d models kind of looks fake with him, because he is still considered "real things" as a photo, adding grains matches the movie feel and cover the fake things ...I am going to do more of them...

Yes, when I was learning to photoshop, I watch a lot of vfx timelapse video to learn their steps, and I always goosebump when I see how they started to do magic from a dull photo or a "real situation" and turns into fantasy works, so I also want to do the same thing and hope can inspire others....and for this case, I hope I can make it faster, faster enough to do a story without taking a whopping years for production times.... bless me hhahahahaaa
