Posing with Peter: “new video”
This does put a smile on my face.
Oh crap that sucks! I'm sorry to hear that you were exposed / tested positive... don't get me wrong I'm glad that my content helped brighten your day but dang, I really hope your symptoms don't get too severe. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
@@PosingwithPeter Thanks 🙂🙏🏻

This tutorial really puts a smile on my face. You succeeded in making this hobby look so fun. Thank you Peter. Seriously, thank you.

Thanks so much for your compliments and support ☺️ And yeah it's been a couple months since my last video -- I'd love to upload on a more frequent basis but work & life in general kept me busy. I'm just grateful to have the continued support from peeps like you despite my tendency to disappear from the hobby every now & then 😅 More is on the way, albeit at an incredibly slow pace haha. Thanks again! 🙏
@@PosingwithPeter yes I completely understand. This is how it is when you know you want to do something you really love doing but takes time, all due to the other things that have to take care of first with family, work and just life in general. But nevertheless take all the time you need brotha.

Hi there. Just stumbled across your channel and so happy I did. You have a real talent for posing. Not only the great poses; the poses that are actually unique to the character being posed. I want to be you when I grow up! ;)
Ayy welcome to the channel! I'm glad you enjoy the poses / content, and I really appreciate your compliments and support ☺️🙏

PETE‼..........YOU NEED TO PUBLISH A D.I.Y. COFFEE TABLE BOOK ‼ (GAURANTEED BEST SELLER)........ AS ALWAYS YOUR TUTORIALS ARE CUT ABOVE THE REST‼ ..........WELCOME BACK MY BROTHER ‼
Hahaha this guy... coffee table book 😂 You're far too kind, but I appreciate the compliments, support, and warm welcome back 🥰 Thanks for watching & sharing your positive feedback!
amazing tips as always Peter!
Thanks Harry! Always appreciate your continued support. Keep up the amazing photo edits, your recent Captain Marvel pics made my jaw drop 🤯🤩
@@PosingwithPeter You're very welcome Peter! 😁 And thanks so much haha. Keep it up I shall my friend. Hope you have a good one! 🙌
for some reason, youtube did not notify me when this was put up, glad I finally saw this.
Yeah CZcams notifications are whack. I sometimes don't get notified when people comment or reply to an existing comment so I feel like an ass for not replying to a question that I didn't know was there 😅
I'm glad you got around to watching though, thanks for your support!
@@PosingwithPeter np bro, keep up the good work
this takes some next level patience I do not have
Hahaha I should put a disclaimer in the beginning, "Requires an over abundance of patience & effort" 😂
Peter is back 😎😎😎😎
Ayyy thanks so much, my intermittent absence here is the unfortunate side effect of work-life, but I really appreciate your warm welcome back ☺️
What is up Posing Sensei?! Thanks for the vid, def want to try some of these ideas (if my shelves ever arrive). You and OneSixthPosing are my heroes
Ayyy it's great to see ya here in the comments! It's been a while since we last spoke on Reddit, hope all is well on your end 😊
What kind of shelves are you waiting for if you don't mind me asking? And same, OneSixthPosing is on a whole 'nother level and continues to inspire countless among the community, myself included. It's always great seeing his awesome poses & thorough explanations. I hope he decides to step into the realm of CZcams tutorial videos someday but I fully understand and respect his decision not to for the time being.
Either way, thanks again for your continued support across social media! 🙏

amzing tips bro
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
This is excellent
Thanks! Glad ya liked it ☺️
Very creative methods Pete!, I don't use Detolfs but I'm going to put a metal bar in my next acrylic cases to be able to do that, thanks it helps!
Awesome Raul! I'm glad you'll be taking what you've learned here to apply to your own acrylic cases in the future 😁
Thanks for watching & for sharing your positive feedback! 🙏
@@PosingwithPeter Anytime Pete!
I've been waiting for this tutorial! Thank you so much!
Thanks SO much for your patience! It's a very brief video so I can only hope it was worth the wait and that it didn't disappoint 😅 Are you planning on changing up or displaying any of your figures using these tips? 😁
@@PosingwithPeter hi Peter, is there anyway to prevent these figures from twirling around once suspended?
Absolutely, what helps me prevent them from twirling around is being mindful of the pose itself and placing their limbs against the back wall of the cabinet.
For Thor / Superman / Dr Strange, their vertical hovering poses are carefully leaned against the back glass of the cabinet. For Mando, his extended right leg / boot is also pressed up against the back glass panel of the cabinet therefore keeping him in place.
I hope that helps clarify!
@@PosingwithPeter I'm also going to send you a dm on ig, I follow you there as well, im gonna send you some pictures of my very new collection and if you could please give me some posing tips, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Genius!!
Haha thanks! I'm hardly the first person to use string / wires to display figures in a cabinet but I'm always happy to help spread the knowledge to fellow collectors if possible ☺️
AWESOME
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome thank you!
My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Thanks so much for your support!
@@PosingwithPeter hate to ask this of you but could you do a tutorial for making the cape wired or look wired? I know that’s a little difficult and requires some risk doing it. Anyway keep up the awesome work!
It never hurts to ask ☺️
As it turns out I haven't ever wired up my own figure's cape -- normally in my videos I've just used black twist-ties on belts and shoulder straps to prop up loose capes so that they have a wired appearance. Superman's cape in particular is indeed a wired cape but I bought it like that from a friend / fellow collector.
Do you know of Terry Smith from Sideshow Collectibles? In addition to posing videos, he also has his own channel and he made a brief guide on making wired capes using hobby wire & tape. I hope this helps:
czcams.com/video/Jeh0sAUzeeE/video.html
@@PosingwithPeter thank you I will check it out!
I'm so glad to see a new video from you! So, for Superman, how does the figure not spin around when he is suspended in air like that?
Ayyy Kirbaybey! Always a pleasure seeing ya in the comments 😊
Hahaha I just imagined Superman twirling in circles 😂 Fortunately the figure does not spin around since the pose prevents that from happening -- his right arm (elbow) is pushed against the back glass of the cabinet and his hind leg (right foot) also presses up against the glass so he remains suspended in place 😁 👍
Thanks! It's always a pleasure learning new techniques from you 😃
Lol. Yeah, that's what I was imagining when you were first trying to set this pose. Thanks for the tips, I may try this on my Superman
Hey !! welcome back peter thank you again for another awesome tutorial :) some really usefull tips there , though one question if i may can the wire used for the substitute clamp on the display pole can it be utilized as a cradle to stand a figure ? i have the MOS superman and i plan on displaying him standing instead of floating is it possible ?
Hey again James! As usual, it's great to see ya in the comments, and thanks for the warm welcome back ☺️
Of course you can ask a question! Regarding your MoS Superman figure in a standing pose, that's actually a really good point you bring up haha... now I wish I would've mentioned that in the video 😅 But yes, I absolutely think that the self-made hook method can work fine as a cradle instead of having the default clamp dig into his suit. You just might need to really tighten the self-made hook when you wrap it around the clamp so that it's not super loose to slide down the dynamic pole.
I'd say give it a try and please lemme know how it works out! As always, thanks for watching & commenting 😊
@@PosingwithPeter Thats brilliant ! Will do peter and thank you again :)
Great idea. Never thought about this! 😅
Thanks! And yeah it’s a rather simple & inexpensive solution that I still use to this day, so I’m really glad you enjoyed the tips 😁
@@PosingwithPeter Thank you!
Nice flow and ideas
Thanks so much for watching & commenting your positive feedback 😊
I like you ideas and smooth of the videos...I like your idea of posing enjoy the figure...in time I will try to do some similar CZcams channel only focus on posing....keep the good work
As always great videos Peter! Ads-schmads, the content is amazing. Do you have any pics of your HT Spidermen / creasing / costume issues from aggressive posing left for awhile?
Aw thanks so much for your kind words & support! I appreciate you reading the description box about the lame ads too 😅
As it turns out I don't really take photos of the creases in particular on my figures but they sometimes show up in my pose pics on Instagram. For example it's hard to see clearly but in the photo of Iron Spider hunched over the dead outrider, you can see a crease in his left shoulder if you zoom in -- that crease is pretty permanent from his previous pose of hitching a ride with Mjolnir. I'm sure his hunched-over pose will have ugly creases on his crotch area too from the aggressive bend but I don't really mind since these poses are a lot of fun to create & display, so for me it's worth it 😅
@@PosingwithPeter Agreed! Love the content, take care of yourself man!
Thank you‼‼💯🔥
My pleasure, thank you for watching & commenting! 😊
Mann awesome video Peter! Finally managed to watch it. I wish i had detolfs as these tips seem to work best with detolfs. I might try to use some 3M on my own display case tho! With caution of course. Hope it works! If not at least i see some awesome poses i can for sure manage to replicate. Cheers Peter! - Anthony
Thanks Anthony! I'm glad ya got around to watching 😁 Yeah if you do try the 3M command hooks, I'd recommend letting those adhesive hooks settle onto the surface for at least an hour first before immediately connecting a figure in order to maximize its strength/hold.
As always I appreciate you! Still hoping see you share content on CZcams as well someday 😁
@@PosingwithPeter haha yes maybe one day and will do that with the 3M Peter! Thanks man :)
I'm planning on starting my collection of jojo sas figures and I have a few plans that this will be very nice for as opposed to there normal bases with arms.
Nice! I’m glad this video might help plant some ideas for your jojo sas collection 😁 Thanks for watching!
Awesome tips! Your poses are amazing! Question? What lightsabers are those at the beginning of your video? They are really bright?
Thanks so much!
The lightsabers are custom that plug into a power inverter so they can be bright without relying on batteries. You can search "CCFL saber" on CZcams, plenty of videos 👍
Perfect wonderful
Thanks for watching!
I’m so sorry for your lost action figure, I feel the same as that way as well
I’m so sorry for you 😢 1:55
Very good video
Thanks for watching 😁
Cómo lograste una capa posable para ese Thor? 🥲 quiero intentar con los clásicos alambres, pero no estoy seguro de continuar
hye peter…u really done a great video…but please teach me how to put the wire to the cape…please make a video 😅🙏🏼
Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Perhaps this video here will help teach how to make a wire cape cheap and easy: czcams.com/video/Jeh0sAUzeeE/video.html
Question, How do you do the running pose? BTW your videos are great!
Thanks!
I covered the running pose in 2 videos, one for Miles Morales and another for Flash in my video for Superman:
Miles Morales (running pose @ 7 min 53 sec)
czcams.com/video/zSVlAwWr-ck/video.html
Superman/Flash (running @ 18 min 8 sec)
czcams.com/video/EDq4aOEixL0/video.html
Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@ posing by Peter Hey Peter or anyone else how were you able to make Thor's cape billow like that?
Sorry for the delayed reply! Haven't checked my CZcams inbox in a bit.
I basically taped the corner of his cape (red side) to the back glass of the cabinet to make it appear like it's blowing in the wind. Cheap parlor tricks is all 😁
Do you make more body mod tutorial for the Mandalorian record effusion hot toys collection?
My apologies, I'm not sure what you're asking. What's "record effusion hot toys collection"?
Hey Peter ! Thanks à lot for the trick ! How do you do in order they Turn on themselve with one wire please ????🙏🙏🙏
Hey there! I’m curious, did you also ask this on Instagram? I just helped answer the same question on Instagram as well 😂
The figures are placed against the back glass to prevent them from moving or turning 😁
Where did you get your figures?!?
Can you please teach us how to do wired capes
If you’re wondering how to make a wired cape, the pose master Terry Smith made a brief video tutorial that explains how to add wire to a cape:
czcams.com/video/Jeh0sAUzeeE/video.html
Hope that helps!
You know that video what you did with Mandalorian Body Mod what I meant to say was can you do the same thing with the rest of the line
Ohh gotcha. As it turns out, I don't really modify my figures all that much. Plus, I don't really have many figures from the Mandalorian line 😭
How can I do that with the Man of Steel version since it doesn't have a zipper in the back? I would love to try it with my superman.
If you’re going to suspend your Man of Steel figure from a string in a hovering pose, you simply remove the head sculpt and tie the thread around the neck peg then put the head back onto the neck peg.
I need to know, in all honesty, before I do this; has this damaged any of the figures after any extended period of time? Have the belts or attachment points, when posing in cabinets caused issues with the figures or their clothing, attachments, anything like that? Please let me know as I have been plans to do something like this very soon but want all the facts first. Thanks a lot for the video and I really look forward to hearing from you.
Where did you get your display cabinet?
It's by IKEA and the cabinet is called "DETOLF", costs around $60 USD.
Could you do the hover pose with an iron man?
Likely not with the string & wire method shown here.
If you’re on Instagram, check out OneSixthPosing - he uses clear acrylic rods to suspend his figures and it looks spectacular: instagram.com/onesixthposing?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
*Pls do a pose mk 2, mk4, mk6, mk7 pls*
Sorry, out of all those figures I only own the Mk6 and his joints are kinda loose at this point, can't really hold a pose 😅
@@PosingwithPeter ohh that's ok keep it up more videos to come 😊
My justice league superman leg fell out and I'm trying to put it back in and it won't go back in I don't know what to do.
Oh no that’s terrible! I suppose you could try disassembling the figure by removing the cape then suit to glue the leg back into place or do a full body swap with a Phicen. That’s a huge bummer, I hope you’re able to get it resolved.
Where did you get the wired cape for the superman?
It might be a Jaxon Xu cape, the Superman figure in this video was a spare figure that I bought off a fellow collector and the wired cape was already attached.
@@PosingwithPeter oh cool do you think there's a website that would sell wired capes.
I want to pose Captain Marvel in flight, but I don’t think her belt-ish thing will support a hook. Do you think her suit would be ok with some kind of harness made of fishing line? Don’t want to damage her.
I’ve actually had my Captain Marvel hovering for a few months - you are correct that her belt & suit are a bit too delicate for any harness / rigging system. Instead I popped off the head sculpt and tied string/sewing thread very tightly around the actual neck peg, then simply popped the head back on and voila - vertical hovering pose without damaging the suit.
Hope that helps, happy posing!
Doesn’t the weight eventually damage the fabric over time ?
It’ll ultimately depend on the figure itself along with where exactly the thread is tied to the body / belt / joint / suit etc. I kept my figures floating for months and found no damage when I inspected them upon packing & moving not too long ago. Just gotta be extra mindful of how to suspend the figure.
@@PosingwithPeter ty
I’m so jealous of the Superman I wish I had him but he so expensive right now😪
If you're okay with a decent looking knock-off version, look up "Art by Art Transcendent". There are pics / video reviews out there and it's around $150 USD.
I wish i had a marvel action figures
Reality no money
i'll try this with my Boba Fett
Nice! That'll be pretty awesome having Boba in a mid-flight pose. I'm glad ya found the info in this video helpful. Thanks for watching & commenting!
The problem is I can't even unzip my Superman suit because it is too tight
Oh dang - it’s been a while since I did this mod but if I remember correctly, I think the zipper can get snagged on fine-threads.
