This is refreshing to see! This is not just the same ol' generic poses that you see everywhere on YT. It shows your committed to bringing the figure to life and your respect for that character, and in that your respect for the figure. I love how you incorporated all the natural physiology into all parts of your poses, i.e., the weight distribution in the hips, legs and elbow and shoulders, and the use of the fabric to exhibit movement or wind blowing. This is quality work and it could've only come from your attention to detail. Excellent work! 👍👍 I look forward to your next video and if you'd like a suggestion, maybe a clone or stormtrooper. I've always found they are the most challenging figures to bring to life because you can't see their faces. It's all about "implied" expressions with helmeted figures. It's a challenge, but when you get it right it feels good. Thanks again, you should be proud, Darth Maul looked very much alive. 👍👍
Thank you so much for the compliments! I say this every blue moon when we receive comments like these, but it's the same every time. We try our best to show our love for collecting through our footage by giving each figure the showcase they deserve. While the lighting conditions might not be replicated in the collection display, I think it's important to show details we can't see under flat lighting. The same can be said for our this series. Posing is important for the display, so we try our best to provide a few options depending on the space a collector might have. It's great to hear when a lot of those smaller details are noticed, so thank you! We definitely have clones on our radar! The bodies vary between the 501st release and the Standard Clones. The same can be said for ARC Trooper Jesse and Rex due to their pauldrons. The hope is that it doesn't burn you all out because of all the variations, so we'll need to plan accordingly. Like you mentioned, it's also nailing the expression through the helmet which can be tricky. We have some ideas though, so stay tuned! Thank you again for leaving such an awesome comment, and we hope you like what we have planned for the series! 😄🙌🏼
You're more than welcome, quality, time and care should always be given the best lighting it deserves. As for the clones, it was just a thought because it's always a challenge for me to show "emotion" through a helmet and I've always found that just the slightest head tilt, shoulder position or torso twist can convey so much. Vader is a good example of what I mean. As for the clone challenges (as I don't see them as problems, just an obstacle to overcome) the body differences and the pauldrons, I always approach it with the attitude of "Ok, how can I bring you to life with what I have to work with. The character is in there, now I just need to bring you out" I've always enjoyed your vids, so I'll be looking out for what you have coming! Thanks too for pointing out that it's not about how many figures you have, but more about appreciating the characters and what you do with the figures you do have! Also, it's important to make sure it stays "Fun" because isn't that why we all got into this hobby in the 1st place! @@BostonCollectors 🙌😄 p.s. I'll be "borrowing one of those Maul poses, just not sure which yet! of course, with the disclaimer of "This pose courtesy of Boston Collectors" 👍😉
Great idea for a series, quality of the poses and video is great. It's perfect for people like me that have trouble deciding what pose to go with, especially when trying to limit manipulating the figure too much to avoid any damage or degradation.
Thank you! We tried to make it fun for all levels of posers where we could, while making it fun and informative to watch. The goal is to hopefully inspire others to try and pose their pieces. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Clone poses are definitely on our list. It'd probably need to be at least 3 different videos since the bodies varied between Cody, the 501st, and the Regs. Would love to do it though! Thanks for watching, Rick!
This was an amazingly detailed and professional video. I'd love to see more. How about some Jango Fett! I feel like Mando get's too much love from other channels.
Thank you! We wanted to try out snack sized content without information overload. The hope is that it wasn't too lengthy to detour anyone from trying, but explaining it just enough for collectors to give posing a shot. I don't really see much for Jango sadly. That's a good one though, I'll write that one down. 🙌🏼 I just had someone ask for Mando earlier on. They made a good point, so both of those are great options for a future video! Thanks for watching, Mr Media! 🙌🏼
holy... these are some pro poses, all to perfection. Such an amazing fig to start with especially with phantom menaces anniversary. Can't wait for more in this series!
Thank you, thank you! 😄🙏🏼 My excitement about the Phantom Menace coming to theaters again really sparked the idea, so it was only right. Stay tuned, because there’s more on the way! 😄🍻
That's a good one... I'd really have to plan that one out for it to be good! Loads of ideas for him since his range of motion isn't hindered by his body suit. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching. 🙌🏼🍻
Thank you for watching! After seeing how you all feel about the series, we definitely plan to do more. The DX17 is a TON of fun to pose. There's virtually no limit! 😄
Thank you! That's good to hear so many of you enjoyed watching. It's always scaring adding something new to the list of content to make while adding your own flavor to it. You can't recreate the ORIGINAL taco, but look at how many of them we have today. The hope is enough people stop by and give ours a try. 😅 Thanks for watching, man!
@@BostonCollectors no problem brother. I think you have the right amount of flavor to the way you make your videos that it definitely comes off as unique and specific to you.
Hello. Your channel is undoubtedly my favorite in terms of Reviews of 1:6 scale figures. The videos are elegant, just the right length, with fairly complete analysis and exceptional production quality. And it's a great idea that you're now helping us with something as important as posing. A pose elevates or destroys a figure, and a good pose is something that not everyone has the ability to achieve. As a suggestion for the next figure to pose... I have to emphatically propose the Mandalorian beskar (the first version and unmodified). It is a figure that can be found in any Star Wars collection but it is a very difficult figure to pose naturally given the limitations of the fat suit, and with a cape that also has its trick to make it look good. A video like this would be very helpful.
Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot. We try our hardest to provide the best content we can, so hearing comments like this helps us know we're doing right. The Mandalorian is a great choice actually. Luckily enough I didn't remove he body suit on the latest version, but they all share the same body anyway. Could be a lot of fun! Thank you for the recommendation, we'll look into it! 🙏🏻
Thank you! Glad you liked it! It felt like something Maul would do to show Obi-wan how he can take his stance and make it better. He was kind of a douche like that, so it felt right. 😅
Awesome! That's good to hear. I wasn't too sure how this would do to be honest, but I'm glad there's interest. The wife is the OT collector in the house, so I'll have to dig into her collection to see what I can do. Appreciate you for watching, Kirbaybey! 🙌🏼
So, you are not only the master of HT videos, you're also the master of posing. 😁😁 No, I don't feel inadequate at all. 🙄🙄🤣🤣 This is one of my fav figures, and the one I have reposed the most. However, due to some unfortunate occurrences early in my collecting, I always use a stand for my figures, and that can be limiting. I suppose now I need to find a stone diorama and a smoke machine.... 👍👍👌👌👍👍👊👊
Hahaha, I wish! Takes better equipment and space to really get it how I want. 😭😭😭 All of these are pretty easy to learn, so trust me… you can do it too! Yeah, I haven’t had anything like that happen in the display. I hope it doesn’t… Thanos base, Target Halloween fog machine ($10), some fog solution ($7) and you’re in there! 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for watching, Daniel! 🙏🏼🍻
I actually just did a tweak to the pose of my DX16 this morning. Tilted the head sculpt down forward slightly and raised the eyes, so it would appear he is staring down his enemy. small adjustment, but it added so much to the tone of expression
Sometimes that all it really takes. There are times where I'll get a pose about where I'd like it, but I don't mind revisiting it for smaller adjustments. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha, I don't know man, then I'd have to drop you a line on some figures to borrow because you have pieces in your collection that I don't have. 😭 They don't call it the GOAT'd Display in all of UK for nothing! Thanks for watching as always, man! 🙏🍻
Thank you, thank you! Still surprising to hear that my posing is considered ‘good enough’ for it. I never thought it was until people kept asking for videos. 😅 You know what, while I was making this video, I wondered why it was such a great release. The portrait designs are from Kojun! They still hold up very well to this day. Not to mention the rest of the release… just amazing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for watching man! 🙏🏼🍻
Thank you! We thought about interaction poses, but I didn't want to overdo it on the first video in case the new series wasn't received well. We'll see about doing that later, or perhaps making it a separate series using multiple figures. Anakin's also on our list! Even better since I have several versions of him. 😄 Thanks for watching!

RUclips needs more of this, it’s usually all showing off, but this series does both showing off and an “how to”.
We were hoping the extra “how to” pop ups would help or at least add something different! Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch 😄
Great poses, and great video!! I’d love to see more of these. Clone poses would be a super interesting one

Excellent figure! A must have for any Star Wars collection.
Another great video by Boston Collectors!
Absolutely! The wife gifted this to me and it was the figure that got me into the hobby. It was only right! 😄🔥
Appreciate you! 🙏🏻🍻
Pretty cool. Would love to see poses for Ahsoka (whichever iteration) or Mandalorians
Oooh that second pose is perfection! Amazing video!

Amazing work as always!
Thanks so much 😄💜
DEFINITELY would like to see more in this series!
That’s really awesome to hear! Already thinking about the next one 😄
That last pose, damn!!! 🔥🔥🔥
My man, thank you! I prefer the stoic poses myself, but I like to have fun every once in a while. Thanks for watching, my dude! 🙏🏻🍻
I would definitely like to see more of these kinds of videos! I really only collect OT figures, so any of those

OK! Now I *only watch your* videos for posing guides and ideas!! Please do ALL. The. Star. Wars. Figures. 😅
Amazing work my friend 👏🏻👌🏻

Dope! More pls!
What a great series! You killed it as always. Ive always love posing a maul figure, the double lightsaber, the wires its just a great figure
Thank you, thank you! Still surprising to hear that my posing is considered ‘good enough’ for it. I never thought it was until people kept asking for videos. 😅

Awesome!!!
Thanks and thank you for watching! 🍻
Always professional content !! Thank you so much buddy 👊🏻!!
No, no, no, thank YOU! We're just happy to hear you all are enjoying the content. There is more to come! 🍻🙌🏼
Tiny rare earth magnets do wonders for the neck on this figure. As is, it's a bit short.
Dude I so need the thanos diorama… any Star Wars figures on that piece looks amazing.
I wish Hot Toys could sneak that in with another figure. It's truly one of the best bases I own from them. It's simple, but incredible!
great video! maybe i will suggest interaction pose like maybe qui gon! would love to see anakin
Thank you! We thought about interaction poses, but I didn't want to overdo it on the first video in case the new series wasn't received well. We'll see about doing that later, or perhaps making it a separate series using multiple figures.
Anakin's also on our list! Even better since I have several versions of him. 😄
