How to be a Poser
By Terry Smith
As a veteran collector of sixth-scale figures, itās my belief that I have a responsibility to display each of my collectibles in a way that captures a definitive moment. So I became a poser.
That word, āposer,ā is burdened with a terrible stigma. Just thinking about it conjures fearsome visions of being ostracized by a sect of cool hipster college kids.
But in the world of sixth-scale figures, being a poser is the final step of a creative process. Itās a worthwhile endeavor that requires some extra thought and effort. And itās not easy.
When Iām posing a figure, Iām tossing so many questions around in my head. Mostly Iām taking into consideration the character, but Iām also thinking of the way that the human body works. Even physical forces like gravity and movement come into play.
This series will be for collectors. Itās an illustrated dose of sixth-scale goodness. Take from it what you will, and remember to have fun with it!
