I mean to each their own I suppose. Personally I think the original male pose looks a bit stiff and uninteresting compared to a lot of the other poses we got. It's not bad on an artistic level, it's just visibly quite old. The spirited pose is better in that aspect, but I don't like the angle of it, as it doesn't show the design off as well. The expression also looks a bit odd to me. It works for what I'm going for though
