Hey, everyone. Welcome back to How to be a Poser.
Today we're gonna attempt to use a single pose to capture multiple facets of a character's overall attitude.
And what better character to choose for that sort of thing than Marvel's Deadpool. Let's get started.
This pose that I have in mind is going to be extremely dynamic, and I'm talking about defying gravity.
Before I do, though, I just want to mention all these awesome pouches.
I encourage everybody to just do whatever you want to with it, I mean
lay these pouches out in whatever manner that you see fit. It's your figure. Make it look how you want it to look.
Anyway, moving on. I'm gonna get this gun extended out here.
These joints are ratcheted, so if you hear a click, don't be alarmed.
This, again, I'm just going to start with a very rough pose and then just finesse it as I go.
Since I last played with this figure, since I last played with the prototype,
they've built a completely new body for this guy with double joints in the elbows.
So the range of motion for him is much improved.
Stretch this leg out. Bend this leg here.
We're going to have him leaping through the air blazing away with his pistol
while simultaneously going for that blade back there.
So just tweak this body by giving it a twist to the left. Now as you turn that head
to match the direction of the gun, you might get a situation like this.
Where the turtleneck pops out of the head. In that kind of scenario, you can just use your fingers
or fingernails to just shove it back up in there.
Really gotta get that arm back here to get that sword into his hand.
I think what I need to do in order to make this work is to pop the hand off
and slide it down onto the sword hilt.
Yeah, so now he's pulling that out.
Moving down, we have an articulated boot here broken away at the end of the gaiter.
So I'm just going to flex that, have it pointed more behind him like he's just sprung from the ground.
Slight curve to this leg here leading to a pointed toe and then twisting the body to try to create,
continue that curve all the way up through to the head.
This isn't just balanced.
The way this is resting, the weight of the figure is wanting to pull it this way,
but because of where the leg is situated here, that's stopping that from happening.
Now, we don't need to stop there, because like I said, there's a lot going on with this figure.
If you picked this figure up directly from Sideshow, then you received Headpool.
And he comes with a support built into the back of the figure stand.
Shove this little armature wire back into the back of his head.
And then back here there are three holes that you can use. I'm just gonna use the one closest to the left.
They're very very snug, so it'll take a little bit of effort to get it in there initially.
On top of that, the figure comes with speech bubbles. I'm gonna go with "Headpool attack!"
So that you can reuse these again and again, we stress highly that when you're applying the decal
to the speech bubble, apply next to no pressure. It's not a static decal. There is an adhesive backing to it.
And if you press down on it like you would typically with a sticker, it's going to stay there.
You can get it off, but it will be very difficult and there's no guarantee that it'll be intact when you do.
Having said that, let's go ahead and drop this guy down into the middle support
similarly to what we did with Deadpool...Headpool, rather.
You can rotate these things any way that you like, put them anywhere.
That's about as high as that one's gonna go.
In order to make this read better, I can probably lower Deadpool a little bit.
Alright, I think that's good.
This is a fantastic figure.
So much to do with it.
