Just in case you'd rather use a pose file, now that Y-Phil has posted Python for this :D, and for ease of redistribution if required, here's how the formatting should look in the template with multiple actors. Most things going on in figures can be manipulated via pz2, for those not Python conversant. If it has an off on option it's generally able to be manipulated via very simple poses...

Props require either a figure being present in the scene or being parented to a figure in order to be manipulated via pz2, been a while so off the top of my head the specifics are hazy. I think its a case by case requirement
