Added IronMan, but some of the sculpted details render as dents in Poser for lack of micro-poly displacement. Geez, hard surfaces are a 
to model. The texture painting is meh - maybe I will have steady hands in the next life. 
Rendered in Poser with Superfly + HDRI.

One of these days, if you are willing, and time permitting, I would like to have a detailed discussion on this process? I really would like to make my various projects more animation like. Right now though my mind is overloaded dealing with other pressing issues,
More vertex pushing in Blender. It's the ultimate hell to UV map in Blender, so I just did in 3DSMAX instead. Done everything else in Blender, though. I did single crossed straps before, so now it's time for DOUBLE crossed straps. Once properly UV mapped, I painted it in Blender. Painting double-sided straps is particularly challenging. Testing on DawnSE in Poser but can refit to any figure. It's not rigged yet, just a prototype at this point.
After making IronMan with all the hard surfaces, I wanted to make a helmet in Blender using the same technique. This is what came out, with 25K polys, all quads. Could made it lower poly, but then Poser/DS start "melting" the hard edges. I always had trouble with hard surface modeling, so IronMan and this helmet was good practice.
Rendered in Poser with Superfly + HDRI. I keep using the DS4 default HDRI map, so renders look the same in both programs. ^^

Young Claudine is as pretty as a picture with that curly blonde hair, but watch out...she bites!
I have a sincere question regarding my images. Do you(any forum goers) feel that my renders look better with the black frames, or without (full bleed to the edges)?
I forgot to give that last image that matted look, and I am trying to decide if I want to redo it.

I would never start a Funko Pops collection... but I could consider yours. Soooo much better
