Quick answer

Start Malice with a wide, balanced stance and use the included display stand before adding accessories. Pose the arms and head last so the figure stays stable, then place Malice at the front or edge of your squad for a clear focal point.

Prep the figure and stand before you pose

Unbox Malice on a clean, flat surface and keep the tray nearby for spare hands and accessories. Attach the display stand first, then set the feet so the figure stands without leaning. This prevents a fall later when you add weight or shift the arms.

Build a stable stance that suits Malice

A wide stance with one foot slightly forward gives Malice a grounded look and reduces tipping. Keep the knees slightly bent rather than locked straight. If the figure feels top-heavy, widen the feet before adjusting anything else.

Pose the upper body without overextending

Rotate the torso a few degrees, then set the shoulders and elbows. Small adjustments read better than extreme angles, especially on a crowded shelf. Test the balance after each change by letting go for a moment.

Add accessories and hands last

Swap in the hands you need before attaching a weapon or prop. Keep the accessory close to the body to avoid levering the figure off balance. If you change your mind, remove the accessory first, then the hand.

Place Malice within your Valaverse squad

Put Malice at the front or outer edge of the group so the silhouette stays readable. Leave a little space between figures to avoid accidental knocks. For a tighter squad, angle Malice slightly toward the center rather than facing straight ahead.

Step-by-step Malice posing and display routine

  1. Unbox and attach the stand: Lay out Malice, the display stand, and the interchangeable hands on a clean surface. Attach the stand before posing so the figure has a stable base. Checkpoint: the figure stands on its own before you touch the arms.
  2. Set a wide, grounded stance: Place the feet slightly apart with one foot forward and keep the knees soft. This lowers the center of gravity and makes later adjustments less likely to tip the figure. Common mistake: locking the knees straight, which makes the figure easier to knock over.
  3. Adjust the torso and shoulders: Turn the torso a few degrees and set the shoulders so the chest reads clearly from the front. Avoid twisting too far, which can make the figure look off-balance. Checkpoint: the figure stays upright when you let go.
  4. Swap hands and add accessories: Install the hands you want first, then attach any weapon or prop close to the body. Keep the accessory from extending too far out, which can pull the figure forward. Common mistake: attaching a weapon before changing hands, which risks dropping the accessory.
  5. Position Malice in the squad: Place Malice at the front or edge of your Valaverse group and angle the figure slightly toward the center. Leave a small gap between figures to avoid accidental contact. Next step: if the shelf feels crowded, rotate Malice's torso instead of moving the feet.
