Figure Low Angler

Spotted this guy at the Wonfes who only took low angle pics of the figures. Looks like hes even chosen a camera just for the purpose.
Brings me to a related question - how often do you remove the skirts from your figures or do you pose them without their skirts?
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Geeze Christ, its people like him that give figure collectors bad names. I have all my figures clothed and armed (I collect mostly figures with sword/gun).

I leave all my figures skirts on. One day I will remove them!!!! One day!!!!
I might leave paint smudges if I take any cast-offable item off so I usually let them be.

My coworkers LOVE to flip the skirt up of my Alter's Kanu.
Other than that, I personally don't do it too often. Maybe I'll have a pantsu party when it's slow times at work.

I dont have a lot of figures but all mines I usually leave fully clothed except for one or two I keep them with their pantsus.
I find it mad funny that the guys are only taking low angle shots of figures. Go find a hot chick thats cosplaying and get a low angle of them, thats what I would do lol.

I'd usually keep them with skirts, though I might remove depending on how it looks best.
I don't have any figures with castoffable skirts, but I do have one with a castoffable cape. Which I removed because the character looks better without it. :D

not much, I rather have the figures well dress and leaving something to the imagination.

I would think the display cases would act as a hindrance in getting a good angle for a shot, or are most open-air with DO NOT TOUCH notices everywhere?
Every once in a while I'll display a few figures without, or with less I should say, clothing. I don't keep said figures is such a state for prolonged periods of time because I feel as though I'm corrupting them to some degree by not displaying them in their intended state.

when i do my figure photo shoots, i only take one pantsu shot just for the readers that wonder what design and color the figure's panties are.

sometimes I have skirts on sometimes I have them off. depends how I"m feeling. :)

nice camera, that lens twist function would come in handy when traveling and taking pictures of yourself on your own.
about the question, I usually try the cast off on a figure once then put the skirt back on and display the figure afterwards. ^^

I haven't had figures for long, but I would say once in a while. I cast of my maid costume Hakufu for a while. :p Once I get more then I'll cast them off when I feel like it. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't think there is a single thing wrong with casting off figures or taking low angle pictures or anything of the sort. It's perfectly human and normal.

Hardly ever. Just when I'm bored and wanna have a play with something. Removing all the skirts and putting them back on takes time lol

Wow, on a rather random note, I just borrowed a camera from a friend today, and it's the exact same one as the one in the picture.

I prefer my figures to be dressed completely, meaning WITH skirts. I want to see them in their intended complete setup. Probably when I'm cleaning them will I remove the skirt x_x

Same, I don't expose figures but sometimes check that all is okay whilst cleaning them ¬_¬
My old Coolpix also has a swiveling lens+flash unit that protects them when closed.
Never figured out a good use for it LOL

Only when I just have them to try it out. But I never pose them without; can't focus and me mom will slap me. Only with Narika I considered it, because she also looks good without her fluffy pants on.

I only removed the skirt and other cast off when first opened the figure from the box to 'inspect' the figure condition and also during photo session. When ready to display all of my figures are fully clothed.

I only remove the skirt to get rid of that little bit of plastic they always wedge under there.

I want to display my figures, even the invisible people in the sky knows I want to. But I don't have enough space and I'm afraid of them bending(oh shi-), and if I display them without skirts, I'll get weird looks from my parents and my cousins will start asking weird questions.

I don't share this craze for pantsu, so all my figures are displayed in their outfit. You can get sizzling sexiness without removing the clothes.
The only exception is my Chuchu Astram and that is because she comes without any pantsu or skirt. Oh wait, she has the bat thing, but I've other plans for it.

I share a room with a younger brother so I can't leave them off. I do take them off at times though for photo's then put them back on.

No, I wouldn't pose any (in the future, hopefully)figures without anything less than their proper attire.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised the figure didn't plug his camera full of holes there and then XD

Usually when you need to remove a skirts/dress you have to disassemble the figure itself... BE I DAMNED if I ever unscrew Fauna's head! (>_<)/

Sometimes, usually looks better with skirt, more for the imagination.

I always display mine with their outfits, they always look better that way imo. It's kinda cool to have the option I guess, but I never take advantage of it.

Actually only have one single cast-offable Figure, and since the choice is between uniform and school swimmsuit that one's beeing displayed without the uniform ^^

I keep the clothes on. Once in a while, I will take them all off, but it doesn't stay that way for very long.

I try not to, it seems rather tasteless. If I wanted something like that I get a swimsuit figure or maybe a bunny girl figure

Honestly, I think that more people than we think are doing some low angle shoots of figures. I'm always impressed by the quality of the panties, bras (well, underwear) of all the figure I own.. some camel toe, cast off, etc.
And honestly (again), sometimes, some figures are nicer casted of.
Going back to the question, I don't do low angle shots of the figures, except when I do a full photo session.

I'll... have a look what's underneath out of curiosity, but I don't think I'd ever actually display anything with panties on show. (Pretty sure the girlfriend wouldn't be too happy XD)
