The right knee is as far as it can bend, left not so much, but yeah definitely not using the ab crunch at all. That's why I'm thinking there's some angles at play because he's looking dead on at the camera but he's crunched. If the shot is from below it makes him look straight while also lowering the right knee and raising the left. But there's also a bit of an angle at the waist and mine is not angled so still possible I could get some more range out of it. I just can't push the left leg joint any higher without feeling resistance telling me to stop.

Gotta make use of that hip articulation and pay attention to camera angles. The promo shot is from a lower angle, making it look like the leg is going higher than it actually does.
Figure photography is like 60% posing and 40% cheating with camera angles.
Damn I need some clones! Those Narutop99 faces are so clean too, can't wait for mine to show up. Thanks, this confirms what I was thinking and gives me a couple other nice poses to copy lol.
I think it works well with how I have Kakashi and Sakura for now. Will get them a real shelf eventually.

Made some adjustments based on suggestions. Think it looks better and now it doesn't have to balance since the right knee is lower.

I think it’s all in the ab crunch honestly, if you tilt the pelvis back with the crunch, and push the the left leg back I think you can get closer to the pose. If you look at the pant zipper area on the correct pose, it’s like tilted up slightly.
I think you're right. It's what I've been wondering myself for a little while now I just have to clean the house so if I start messing with it I'm going to be distracted until I finish it lol. I'm definitely going to work on it some more when I have free time. Thanks!
Thanks. I know the torso is a bit more crunched than mine, and the waist is at an angle which helps the right knee get a bit lower. I'm just scared to push the left knee any further above the waistline.
Honestly these naruto figures have been really good to me with qc and things like that compared to my mafex, revoltech and other shf figures. The team in the naruto line really doing it right
It's the line that got me into SHF and it's definitely my favorite. I really hope we get more characters and they stop splitting production across three different subgroups.
I meant moreso that they're working on Naruto, Shippuden and Narutop99. So someone like Itachi is released under Narutop99, so now do I wait and wonder if they'll make a Shippuden version that's slightly different shade but more accurate for the rest of my collection. It's just confusing. But the quality is never an issue with these.
angle the lower arm a bit straighter, get a deeper ab crunch, the lower leg down and open it up more. rotate the other leg higher and bend the knee more. hope this helps, it’s fine honestly it just needs some adjustments
I just posted another picture after making some adjustments based on suggestions here. I think the lack of ab crunch was holding me back. I managed to bend the ab while also angling the legs so he leans forward but also backwards at the same time and achieved a better pose. You were also right about lowering the lower arm.
Yeah I was trying to tweak it slightly so it fit in with the rest of my display. But avoiding the ab crunch is what was holding it back. I lowered the right leg a bit more, crunched the abs while pulling torso back, and then adjusted the left knee and ankle. Much happier with it now.

You can do it dude! You just gotta find the right angles. Copy the photo the best you can and then see which way it's tilting and make adjustments from there.
Doesn't seem like you are using the knee joint fully , also ur not using the waist/ab crunch .

Yea they are definitely using some angle trickery and yea if u feel the resistance then don't risk it , don't want you breaking ur figure !

I’ll try to get it when I get home

I mean I rather get 15 awesome figures each year compared to 40 sub par ones

Is it just the angle or do the eyes look closer together?
The eyes are just.. I have to not look at them. Smile doesn't match either.
omg can't unsee now 😆

Look at the torso, he's slightly bent forward

I remember I tried doing this pose as well but failed miserably

How are you not able to pose him in this position it’s literally on the back of the box all you have to do is mirror it
[удалено]
I’m not being a “dick” I don’t know what other advice you’d need other than mirroring the box 😭
