I wish I could be bothered to make a photo set up. Currently stuck taking photos in the dark or with shit lighting
>>5563485
Cheers, buddy. No idea it was a transformer, wasn't my kinda show. Figure was rad, though.
>>5563478
>>5563483
Nice pics!
>>5563519
Hey, you could be like me. Shit photos in the dark in spite of having some set ups!
>>5563528
Your creepy figures are perfecyt for dark setups though, senpai.
>>5563519
Who is getting railed on the floor there?
>>5563260
>>5563496
That's a computer monitor for the background, right? How do you get it so that it's not washed out?
>>5563557
Revoltech Queen's Blade Nanael 2P variant. Well, to be precise it's the 2P head on the 1P body.
>>5563553
Point taken.
>>5563560
Nah, it's just a shitty stitch together in PS touch on IPhone.
>>5563561
Thanks, mang.
>>5563577
Is that a death eater? Or a seer from Dishonored?
>>5563577
Nice. I've tried that a couple times and it always ends up super washed out, or blue tinted.
>>5563589
It's a Death eater head alright, Lucius Malfoy to be exact. Just kitbashed it onto a Kylo Ren body and stuck an old sock and hat on it's head. Everything is just my goofy customs.
>>5563603
I had to scale it down a ton. The pixelization on the soldier is terrible.

>ouch my ankle!
>>5563620
I don't really fuck with the material of the blue cape but damn dude that looks pretty cool.
I'm pretty new to collecting toys, but I can see myself getting really into it as time goes on. Even with no setup to speak of, and my only camera being a phone, taking shitty pictures is a lot of fun.
Also, for some reason, I find the cap-wolf alt head that came with this figure absolutely fucking hilarious, and like it a lot more than I probably should.
Any recommendations on what I could use to make tiny dog-poops for him?
>>5563731
I just got that Batman too. He's the DC Multiverse version though. Doesn't look too bad for a Mattel figure.
>>5563740
Yeah, for 15 bucks at Gamestop, I figured I might as well. Third Batman figure and counting.
>>5563731
Also recommend toys with Big fuckin' swords.
Please and thanks.

he had subpar articulation, so he was sacrificed to the Anime

Nice. But how'd you really do that, dremel?
>>5565320
Nah, sawed and then painted.
Recently got a Bruce Li figma, just had to take that shot
>>5565366
Are you sure? I'm looked up and found that PlayStation History Collection is 1:6 scale.
>>5565449
Yeah, I'm sure. I have the whole set
>>5565449
I think they're closer to 1/10th scale to be honest.
They fit in pretty well with Neca figures.

Holy shit this instantly reminded me of an old game I used to play, Robo Pit
>>5565629
The big one is Energon Shockblast and the small one is CW Legends Shockwave
>>5565282
He was turning his life around! You gotta understand, how was he gonna get money for Stormtrooper school clothes?

not that guy, but this would be perfect with my marvel selects
>>5565727
All I have so far are shitty phone photos, and I'm having a blast.
I'll probably set up lighting and get a decent camera in the near future, but until then I'm just gonna have fun playing with my toys.

That's the best way. You'll be surprised how good pictures from a phone can be so play around with lighting and posing and shooting different angles. Just do what you're doing and have fun.
>>5566148
It's a normal stormy head on a first order body. The worst of both worlds
>>5565682
I made an adapter to use CW Shockwave as Energon Shockblast's gun-arm but he's more fun in puppet mode.
>>5566309
top kek
>>5565838
You misunderstand me yeah it was a shity photo (no light, no background, no interesting angle) but I'm having a blast that why I decided to share it
>>5566309
Reminds me of a photo I took a month ago.
>>5566389
Lmao, nah we're two separate entities, as hard as it is to believe. Egashira and Lee compliment each other well.
>>5566389
>TWO people actually bought the Figma Bruce Lee?
I didn't, I got a Bruce Le.
But he made me want to get a real one, so if I find him for cheap enough I might get him later
>>5567006
He looks soo much better with the foregrip removed from his rifle though.
>>5563226
How do you guys keep up with taking pictures? I got a ton of figs and whatnot and whenever I wanna take cool pics like in this thread, I just can't get myself to do it. Drive maybe? Maybe I'm not interested? I don't know... Yet I always enjoy seeing others post these. Cheers.
I was messing around with the troopers. Really liked how this one came out
>>5567016
It's not as hard as you think. Don't worry about taking super awesome pics at first, that will come with time. Just start off with easy poses, nothing too complicated. Remember if you try to make the same pose IRL as your figure and it feels uncomfortable it's probably not a good pose.
>>5567045
Also try to avoid using the lighting in your room. If you don't have any better lights try natural sunlight through a window. It's not the best but it's better than the yellow tint that most ceiling fan lights give off.
>>5567040

Moar Venom. Seriously thinking of getting him.
>>5567016
for me it started when i wanted to get pics of a TFs light piping because i am a sucker for it. and i like playing with them and taking photos is my way of playing with them. it becomes less difficult if you think of it as playing with the toys.
>>5567593

>>5567935
Do it anon, he's great.
>>5568084
>>5568084
Damn he looks nice. Fine, he's on my list.
Not sure if these qualify as Toy Photography. They're just pics I took.
>>5568165
They are pics of toys so that counts.
With this one, the camera has focused on the background so maybe take a few shots of each pose to make sure you get one of the subjects in better focus or widen the depth of field to get the fore and background in (pic related).

Ajin/IBM from the SAS line.
You could probably find him cheaper on Mandarake but AmiAmi has him on Backorder right now

>>5571048
xX_3DG3_L0RDZ_Xx
>>5569276
can you give me a quick review of that ajin?
looks really cool but l've never bought a sas figure, are they durable? is the quality ok? l don't care about crazy poses.
Quillfire:
Decepticon Scribe
>>5572888
He's fairly taller than a regular 6 inch figure like a figma schoolgirl.
Durability is pretty good but as with other Japanese figures I handled I always try to be super careful whenever I move joints around. Ajin is the same case since the one I got has a pretty stiff arm or shoulder joint that feels like it would snap under enough pressure but after two months of posing he still holds up and nothing is loose. I'm still careful about that shoulder joint though. I think it's called a barbell or double ball joint since you can see the ball that connects the arm and another within the sculpt of the torso.
His hips are pretty interesting since they rotate along the ball joint and the leg itself for decent to pretty good range. Ankle pivot or tilt is there also.
SAS have this thing with Medicos having iffy quality control on their figures and since I rarely see any users with Ajin I can't say too much. He came new from AmiAmi and given the simplistic paint work he hasn't had any issues at all. Like I mentioned before his joints are holding up still with none of it feeling loose or about to snap.
Not sure what else to go on but overall he's a pretty good figure even if he's taller than most but that's a non-issue if you're not into the whole scale thing.
>>5573024
thanks for the details
I dont care about ot being tall, especially since it's a monster so l dont think it would look weird being taller than humans
l like stand alone figure that don't force me to buy sets to feel satisfied, and l think this one would fit in well in my collection
thank you very much, l think l'll give this guy a try
Commencing a Kinniku sized photo dump
Ataru is on the attack
Is this the end for Kinnikuman?
Of course not! I just started posting these photos
Kinnikuman narrowly escapes the corner!
At last he has the upper hand
And yet ... he's just posing and pandering to the fans.
>>5564671
10/10 for funny and clever

Kinnikuman must have been feigning his fear

I feel sorry for Hulk, Randy Savage is too much for him
>Look at this guy, with his single jointed elbows!
>>5574210
Oh sorry, what would a suitable size be?
>>5574210
Not him, but lowering the image size usually lowers the quality of my photos. Is there any way around this?
>>5574238
AFAIK, nope.
However, being brutally honest here, nobody cares that much about tiny details. For the most part, as long as the composition looks good, and the technical aspect (illumination, focus,etc), is ok, most people will say nothing, but you know you did a good job when you see it being reposted in another thread.
The size is only relevant when:
a) If too large, people will rightfully complain about taking too long to load, or taking too much space to display.
b) using them in larger spaces. like wallpapers.
A maximum of 2000 pixels in either side is the most recommendable.
>>5574839
>people will rightfully complain about taking too long to load
People are still using dial up in 2016?
>taking too much space to display
don't most browsers automatically resize images to fit your display? Mine does.

Medicos doesn't have that bad quality control. If something has iffy quality control, then it's usually every figure of that type. For instance: almost every Black Dio comes out weird. But just about every release that doesn't have known QC-issues is fine.
>>5572888
SAS are not reviewed all that often, and this guy even less so, but I can give you this:

I'm new to this junk and stuff. Did I do good? I call it "don't ever talk to me or my astronaut daughter again"
>>5575860
The pose is nice, and I really like the light to dark gradiant you've got going on. I feel like your lighting is too harsh/close though because that double shadow stands out really badly. Also lose the stand if possible?
>>5575872
I'll think about the stand and stuff. How do I get rid of the shadow? I was worried that might stand out a bit
Took this back in february
>>5575959
This face amuses me
>>5576037
I have no idea why it's sideways
>>5576040
Open it in a photo editor and re-save it. It will reset the exif data.
>>5576004
Thanks anon, you just gave me an idea to have him hidden amongst a bunch of mini-wheats.
>>5575233
Yeah shit, I have thought about it since he fits the theme so well.
Just not sure if I want the comic version or the movie version.
>>5565452
how much should I expect to spend on this?
Playing with Alternative weapons. As much fun as realistic guns and things are, its damn fun to find something odd and off the wall to equip figures with.
Took a couple quick shots to compare the natural light in my old collection room (one window, blocked by exterior staircase) to the new one (four unobstructed windows across two walls).
And yes anon, I know to be wary of sun damage on my displays.
Took some pictures while on vacation

>>5576999
looks nice
>>5576425
My local shop sells them for £5 each.
They're a bit more expensive online I think, the full sets often show up on eBay.
>>5576583
What sort of set up do you use to get these kinds of pictures? Is it a simple light box? What did you use for the white background? What kind of lights/bulbs do you use?
>>5576773
I know it is a Mega Bloks CoD astronaut, but what is this gold one from?
>>5577150
Thanks bruh!
>>5563226
Dat Rick Grimes hatchet, doe! MY NIGGA!
>>5577195
I have a lightbox, but you don't really need a store bought one (my box tent was a gift). You really don't need one at all!
If you want to make one it can cost as little or as much as you wish to spend. A simple box will do, but you could even make frames from wood or even PVC pipes.
For the sides just need some white opaque material. There are some kinds of plastic sheets you can use, but a thin fabrics can work as well. Hell even something as simple as parchment paper could work.
For the white background its just some white cloth with a strip of Velcro to secure it to the top.
I use daylight cfl light bulbs. CFL seem to produce more light, the daylight is a nice white color (less or no orange tint).
I just pop my camera on a tripod, make the adjustments (Brightness, color balance, Macro mode) then take multiple shots at different angles, positions and whatever.
Pick one then edit it by again adjusting brightness, levels, contrast, and all that junk.
Keep in mind I am a total amateur at all of this, and there are lots of people you can ask for probably better advice. I just like flinging my toys around and shooting pictures. My setup is probably pretty bad compared to some dudes who honestly do some amazing jobs.
>>5577533
It's pretty much my only in-scale melee weapon so far.

>>5577634
DCC Arkham Origins Harley Quinn comes with one, if you don't mind the red striped paintjob.
>>5577708
You mean Arkham Knight? Yeah, I might get her. Arkham Origins Harley comes with a clipboard.
>>5577719
Not sure, I only played Asylum and City.
This is the bat anyways :^)
>>5577643
Fotodiox studio. I quite like it as its all can be folded up into a nice kit. But the damn thing is huge.
>>5577634
You can maybe find some baseball figures for super cheap (Like flea markets or something).
The TMNT KC Jones comes with one as well.
>>5576999
I really like that shot anon. I kinda want to get outside and shoot some pictures now.

>Thousand Eyes Restrict
Good taste
>>5579208
It's OK, they're pretty good shots.
What's that Sahelantropus though? It definitely piqued my interest.
>>5579222
Using a shitty phone camera that unfocused on its own.
That TER had a hard life (you can even see the hole where a fang fell off in that pic) but I really like it.
Actually playing with them for a change is way more fun than I thought it'd be.
>>5579225
It's Kotobukiya's Sahelanthropus. Huge, complicated, an absolutely fucking mental number of bits.
Totally worth it. Gonna look aces when he's all painted up, though if you don't wanna do the work, there's always the stupidly expensive Riobot version.
>>5579235
Figured it'd be Koto, had the listing bookmarked for weeks. Looks really awesome though, I might pick it up and ultimately despair over my hamhands.
>>5579247
Really, just take your time and you'll be good. Also, the skull-face is made of waterslide decals.
>>5579225
> unfocused on its own
Try taking half a dozen of the same shot to make sure you get one that's nicely in focus.

Easy there cowboy, the image limit hasn't even been reached yet.
