A great pose always enhances a great action figure. There are a few classic poses that collector love to use, such as the museum pose (same pose as in the packaging, standing straight looking forward), the dynamic "standing up, head slightly tilted to the left", and all sorts of great action poses. Then, there are 2 poses that have been at war with each other for years: the 'closed fist', and the 'invisible orange'. Which side are you on? We sat down with collectors from both sides, to hear their take on the poses: "The 'arm bent, closed fist' pose is clearly the superior one. It shows right away that the character is really powerful, as he is standing there, valiantly, with his fist up in the air. It's the best flex of power ever!" said one collector. "The 'arm bent, holding an invisible orange' is far better! The character has so much power that he can hold it in the palm of his hand, and he doesn't need to close his fist! You can tell he's more powerful! Plus, oranges are packed with vitamins, which is also a good thing!" said the other. Things got slightly heated before we managed to get the collectors to agree to a compromise: The figure can have both a closed fist and an 'invisible orange' hand, and you can switch the side the arms are bent, so that it can be both at the same time!
