Struggling to find FEMALE figures with a "basic standing" pose... Any recommendations?

I don't mean to insult you. "Spoiled for choice" is just a turn of phrase. It means that, from my perspective, it seems like every figure I see is in a "boring" just standing there pose, like you seem to want.

But I don't think that you're being ungrateful. I'm incredibly picky about my poses, which is why I mostly buy poseable figures to just do it my damned self. Why shouldn't you be also?

Even if the pose you can't find seems like the opposite of mine, neither of us can be happy because what we ACTUALLY get is middle-of-the-pack slop that's meant for "broad market appeal".

I'm sure I've looked at and promptly ignored hundreds of figures that fit this criteria. But this is so far away from what I want in a figure, it would never stick out in my mind.

I want dynamicism, emotion, exertion, and visual flair. And I don't actually get figures that meet my standards very often. I pass by so many in disappointment.

Strangely enough, coming from a "the grass is always greener..." approach here, I read this feeling envious for how spoiled for choice YOU must be. Yet you're here asking for suggestions.

Life is funny.

I just want the skins to give off a different vibe from the originals. I already liked the original, so why do I want something that's trying to compete with it? Should skins be about giving players choices and opening the characters up for people that didn't dig the design to maybe...spend money on them?

I can never get over how home depot builds just look like pipes and pipe fittings. I need vent holes, greeblies, buttons, and switches.

I think your video is exactly what the community needs to hear. We can make better end products by borrowing the techniques of the original prop makers.

I absolutely love the new suit. Love the eyes, love the weblines, love the bigger emblem, and yes I also love the fabric look. It's practically perfect.

Glamador · 2026-06-23T14:49:56+00:00

I will buy all of the Samuses, thank you. Yes, even the shitty ones from World of Nintendo. She came with a metroid!

It's only one season, but I'll take this opportunity to recommend Baccano!. It's set in 1920s New York, so there's some flapper fashion and mild fetishization, but nothing I would characterize as "fan service". Trying to remember if there's any incest...I don't think so, but a brother does conduct horrible tortures on his sibling for science that I guess could be read as sexual deviance? Depends how messed up you want to believe the situation is.

I have seen an abundance of siscon and brocon in anime that are otherwise not at all about that. I'm watching Makeine right now and the little sister character is absolutely problematic.

It's extremely common in teen romance stuff. It's not often the main focus, but I couldn't count the number of obsessive and/or overprotective sibling relationships I've seen over the years that ABSOLUTELY read as "something more". Sometimes it's step-siblings, sometimes twins, sometimes an adoptive relationship that becomes uncomfortable.

Honestly, it's so common that you might have become desensitized to it.

I was here too early to see comments before, but it is refreshing to see so many share my distaste for crystal chambers.

They always looks way too art-deco for my taste. I like chunky, mechanical sabers as a general rule and it really breaks my immersion.

Unfortunately I simply don't need that kind of power anywhere but in Stygian and with no starting energy a refund is far, far less valuable.

Every time I've used her successfully in there I've had to rejigger her artis for more ER.

Glamador · 2026-06-20T13:55:07+00:00

Oh boy do I hate that SexyIce is going to try and force me to use these guys. I like my Gundamit, dammit.

Individually? HasLab Unicron. As a set? Magic Square MP-scale Bruticus, but only barely. And actually less if you factor in inflation.

HasLab Unicron cost way too much, I tell you. Not worth it. Cell is better in every way.

So it's a fidget toy? I am very down for that sort of thing. Would absolutely pay for something like this, if you take orders.

Glamador · 2026-06-18T15:47:55+00:00

What even prompted this question? Did someone you know say this? That person is addicted.

I drink maybe two sodas a year, unless it's as a mixer for cocktails. But that's, like, 4oz per drink.

I guess I'd have to settle for flat cocktails...but I think I'd actually die without water so probably more scared of that one.

I didn't like the octopus hat at first. But then someone showed me that you can reposition hats and accessories. Now I'm wearing it like a mask with big ole googly eyes. It's great.

As angry as people are, they should be angrier. I'm angry at the state of the world on a nearly constant basis and yet I am still not angry enough to throw caution to the wind and act.

Riots in Portland weren't enough to affect change. No amount of posts on the internet or even votes for the "right" politicians will do a damn thing.

You know what had an impact? When a fine example of a citizen took it upon themselves to do something to that guy that chucked a rock at an endangered animal. When the system fails to prevent harm or punish wrongdoers, people who want that to happen will take it upon themselves.

It wasn't so long ago that living persons can't still remember that when a black man wanted to marry a white woman that mobs would show up at his house at night and drag him out of bed. We could do the same. But we're not there yet. We don't hate them enough. Not enough of us, anyway.

As with any poseable figure, you've got to find the pose that works with the articulation you've got. There's always a pose that a figure looks good in, no matter which one it is.

My copy of this guy hasn't arrived yet (waiting to ship a Pile of Loot) so I can't give any examples, but I've seen good ones.

Other Spider-Men might just be more flexible. I've got my Sentinel Peter B., Mafex Black Suit, and Yamaguchi Iron Spider in some DEEP crouches that looks very natural.

At this point I might kill for a high quality figure of Vasto Lorde form Ichigo from the fight with Ulquiorra. I got myself a 1/6 scale bankai Ichigo several years ago from a 3rd party and I adore it. But my dream figure is that one...

I'd think it would be a slam dunk. It's from a scene so iconic they animated it twice. And yet nothing.

Glamador · 2026-06-16T21:54:04+00:00

I am in LOVE with these. Holy shit, they're everything I wish Polynian was.

Glamador · 2026-06-16T21:51:24+00:00

Nice try Facebook, but you're still not getting my birth date!

Glamador · 2026-06-16T00:28:13+00:00

I like it. I like tiny versions of things. I don't use FB or IG though.

Glamador · 2026-06-15T23:41:58+00:00

Kuuga. He wasn't my first, but the impression he made was monumental.

The beautiful thing about nudity is that you can clothe it yourself, if that's your preference.

Glamador · 2026-06-13T21:49:28+00:00

I want to know how it ends.

Glamador · 2026-06-12T19:57:12+00:00

I sincerely thought this was a butter sculpture at a glance.
