i'm just saying. this is no better than stores selling christmas items now or houses putting up their christmas lights now. it's barely a week into november. there's already enough christmas oversaturation in real life, let alone it being on a website about malaysian tapdancing
guarentee that this thread will be used up by the time christmas comes around--hell, by the time december even comes around. then what edition will it be, new years edition a month before? i mean why not, right? that's pretty much what happened here.
It could've easily been dubbed 'winter edition' since the OP picture has nothing to do with christmas anyway.
but whatever. that's just one guy's opnion. the thread will go on either way. photo general: christmas edition, let's roll with it.

Scarlet Spider was a 90s character, a clone of Spider-man in a too long arc when he became not the clone but was the clone yet wasn't the clone but ended up really being the clone.
While the story sucked, the design was pretty cool and remained a fan-favorite. I don't really pay attention to modern Marvel comics, so I don't think Scarlet Spider is back (another clone of Spider-Man did become a Scarlet Spider a few years ago, but he had a different costume).
>>5268688
He's a clone of spider man, from the 90's when everything was extr33me.

>>5268708
A lot of the shots above (not sure about the snow ones) are of the BS Troopers. Their articulation isn't the absolute best but fore the price I think they're well worth it. Plus, not paying too much means I'm far more willing to take them outside to take shots.
I love my recent purchases.

Thanks for the advice though. I do try to focus (no pun intended) on the faces, especially the eyes with shinkis because they are such a big feature of the look of the toys. I admit I did forget to put on the macro settings for the shinki shot. I'll try to take extra care of it next time.

Head positioning has ruined so many shots for me. Everything looks perfect as I'm lining stuff up, then I open them up and I have half a dozen pictures of a guy doing a thousand yard stare.
>>5274443
Yeah I struggle hard with that too. It's impossible to tell through an optical lense or a tiny screen whether they're actually looking at screen.

They don't seem to be perfectly in scale (maybe a bit small), but hell for $10 you get 2 tables and 4 folding chairs so its way worth it. Last I looked they also have some office desks, school desks and lab desks.
>>5274599
just one until march when the bandai one comes out. Scout is my favorite trooper class so I needed one that can actually pose, I would have liked to just get the scout by himself but there isn't an option for that.

>theaveragehumanresourcesmeeting.jpeg
>>5274660
Kinda of a long shot but do the folding chairs fold? For wrestling purposes.
>>5274668
Yes and No. Its a model kit so it all clicks together in a unfolded chair state. But you can just pop it apart for unfolded, but you might need to find a way to keep all the parts together.

Fucking Christ. You and your dark ass pix with the black backgrounds. Why the fuck can't you take people's advice and spend 5 bucks on a variety pack of colored posterboards, and add some life to your dull ass pix? Or at least learn when to use a dark background vs a lighter background.
Your shit would look a thousand times better if you'd stop being a stubborn ass and listen.

You mean your advice?
>>5275327
i started using different backdrops because
>people on the internet saying it sucked
>details getting drowned out by the dark
>photos being too dark
i tried using blue, red and finally stuck with grey. and details dont get washed out. black backdrops can be nice when done right but not all the time. if the toy is black or any other dark color it will blend in with it.
also what does your photo set up look like? are you defusing your light sources?

The only time that I have open to take pictures is after 2am, usually.
>>5275379
Yeah I was just being a dick, my bad.
I just want to say, i'm seriously taking all of this into consideration. However, just as a heads up, I'm not serious about photography. The pictures are just a product of having so many toys. I don't really care about improving the quality or composition of my photos, as you can tell by my camera. I just like to picture them in gritty, dark environments a la Frank Miller comics and a black background helps set that tone.
>>5275393
a but but it goes back in place.
>>5275397
try using paper towels instead of paper and put the lights on the sides of the set up instead of directly in front of the subject.

The lights are for two different shots. One lights up the whole shot, and the other is more of a direct light. I tried putting them on the sides, and you can see the hue difference, lol

1- Why post them then? You obviously want some sort of recognition or praise for your work.
2- If you don't care, why get your tits in a twist when people offer critiques/advice on how to improve? Believe it or not, people want to like your pix, but when you throw a butch-fit, and cry like a little girl when you claim "you don't care", you just come off as an insecure little douche.
>>5275327
I've seen several people tell you the exact same thing in every thread you've posted in, so it's not "one guy trolling you".
>>5275319
>>5275322
>>5275327
Now you're just acting like a little twat. "You don't care" but you went to the trouble to do this.
>>5275425
That's actually your camera. You need to read up on white balance.
>>5275678
>Why post them then?
I post them because I'm proud of them. I think the shots look cool. For my nonexistent knowledge of photography, combined with the shitty 5 megapixel point-and-click digital camera I use, and the hour and a half I get to shoot at 2 in the morning, they don't look half bad compared to some pictures in here where people actually go outside to shoot in nice environments, or with DSLRs, or killer lighting set ups. At least to me. I don't mean to come off as 'everybody is wrong, I don't care, don't help me', I really do appreciate all the constructive criticism. I'm just saying, if I wanted to go outside, I'd find to go outside. If i wanted a better camera or lighting to take better shots with, I'd buy a better camera or lighting to take shots with. This is just a passing interest that I pretty much only pencil into my schedule when I should really be sleeping.
>why get your tits in a twist
But I just said I was seriously taking all this into consideration
>but you went to the trouble to do this.
You're absolutely right. That was just me being a dick. I'm sorry.
>I've seen several people tell you the exact same thing in every thread you've posted in
I beg to differ, but this isn't an argument worth going through the archives for.
>>5275683
Yeah I kind of botched the white balance on those pictures, so it was kind of a bad example, but from the bottom picture you can see that they produce two different kinds (or at least hues) of light. Pic related is an example of using the brighter light. It's something I wouldn't be able to light this well with the direct light.
>>5275725
>I'd find to go outside
find time to go outside
>>5275683
An example of where the other light would be too bright to get the look i'm trying to achieve
>>5275725
I think your pics and dark backgrounds look good. Everyone should go their own artistic direction.
I mean...just look at my fucking garbage! I'm sure it'll make most you feel a lot better as photographers.

You should buy some tylenol for that rectal pain.
>>5275725
Haters gonna hate, i like your pics too man.
This isn't deviantart, this is a toycollectors little playground to play artist.
the quality you get out of your pics is amazing for a low budget cam. i admit that alot of your pics seem very similar to me, but that could be just because transformers just isn't my thing and they look alike to me.
anyways, i'm glad we have a small community in these photo threads that keeps this alive, its cool to see all these different styles here.

I know he's seen at least one other person tell you that since I've commented on how the dozens of random group shots of various random figures interspersed with an occasional action shot on the black backgrounds were more than a little tedious.

Cool.
My floor is actually one of those Magic Eye posters.
>>5275762
What kind of light was this shot with? I really like the background and with less harsh lighting it could be a great shot.
>>5275795
it's an older pic. just normal room lighting. the background is my computer desktop though.
Sometimes I forget I own the Raptor Bike.
>>5275807
The shadow here really lends drama but in general better lighting would help you I think. Light it from both sides and diffuse the lights. It'll work wonders.

It's the backside of one of those TRU posters that they stick to the front of the store sometimes, I caught them as they were taking it down once and they let me have it. I'm assuming a giant sheet of white matte/vinyl would do the same trick
>>5276880
Nice idea! i could get my hands on one of those easily as well. thanks for the tip!
Just curious at this point - what poster motive does this have on he front side?

I'm using one of the cheap $20 ones right now, and it can definitely hold a decent number of figures in action. If you have the money and space though, I recommend getting the Elite Scale ring for about $80. You can find it in pretty much any Toys 'R Us these days.

>what is Figuarts 1st release Kuuga and Legacy of Revoltech Kenshiro

You seem to be missing his point, which is that it's a really bad, blurry picture with awful composition. I can tell what the figures are but I don't know what they're doing or why they're doing it, and it just looks bad.
>>5286548
Yeah, it's a shit photo. I need a new camera. It's either blurry as fuck, due to my shaky hands or bright as fuck due to flash
>>5286554
You can take decent pictures with a not great camera. If it's shaky get a tripod. If the flash is too bright then don't use it, light the scene with diffused lamps. Doesn't take much effort.
