Last one died. Post toys with props you love. Starting with a few shitty photos of my own.
>>5666778
Do clothes as props since they can add a ton of character to a figure? I personally think so.
>>5666780
In fact, feel free to post anything you guys want as well.>>5666780
>>5666774
Pretty captivating stuff, as usual, Fakimus.

Such a cute little lamp and table.
>>5667675
self-made rod?
>>5667689
No I actually bought it from hobby lobby like last year. After I bought it I realized I could have made a better one.
>>5667668
neat effects
>>5667701
Thanks bro!
Weiners from mi world I think it's called
>>5667632
Thanks! Loving the Shinkis hanging out as usual.
>>5667638
Toys taking pictures of toys, amazing.
>>5667668
You know, I'll never get the hate Hasbro gets over these two, the headsculpt are spot on and they look pretty accurate to the source material.
>>5667671
Beer, the favored beverage to "prop" up any man's spirits geddit? Never mind, terrible pun.
>>5667675
Wouldn't a Scout's fishing pack contain just the thread, hook and bait in a small container? Nice relaxing shot either way.
>>5667681
I have the same lamp!
>>5667679
Thanks! I intended for it to be more akin to a screenshot from a game.

Thanks mane
>>5667632
What lenses are you using?
I like using my bismuth in photos
>>5671992
Where'd ya get the money stack?
>>5671992
I also like using cars and guns.
>>5671994
I believe it came with a marvel select, i think black cat. Came with a money stack, a safe, a big diamond and a folder of documents to go in said safe. I got it in a lot marvel select stuff.
Definitely my bootleg Chi gashapons.
>>5668573
without it, man would be nuts
>>5667668
go venom go!
>>5667675
I had that same idea a bit ago.
I love the Box that came with Raiden
>>5666774
Is that a fucking Vanguard? Where did you get it?
I actually just love this figure, in general
Does another toy count as a prop?
>>5673190
I love that photo. I will probably just do what you did for a pole though. The one i have is kinda shitty.
>>5671783
It's just Figma Kobayakawa Rinko with some Azone clothes. I see where the resemblance is though.
>>5673200
It's from a keychain. There's a much nicer one now, but I got it for $1.50 off eBay and shaved off the ring on top.
>>5672000
You should really use that backdrop more often. I personally like it.
>>5672090
He's so happy!
>>5673190
Nice handmade rod there!
>>5673210
Yeah, I'd count it. Just about any accessory that elevates a figure should count.
>>5673508
Where'd you get that spear thing?
>>5673508
>You should really use that backdrop more often. I personally like it.
When i moved the backdrop got ruined. The only place thag sells blue paper around me like that is 30 minutes away. I have yet to get a new piece. But thanks.
>>5673515
Ah! Maybe if you go to Walgreens and print out a photo backdrop of a sky, it could end up looking phenomenal.
>>5673510
It's from Mononofu. Like most of their stuff, it's anywhere between 1/6 and 1/10. The shaft of this thing is massive, I only have one figure that could hold it properly and that's BS Kylo Ren.
>>5673577
I tend to like hand made stuff. Plus, that is a charming photo you had of Megatron.
>>5673632
>I only have one figure that could hold it properly and that's BS Kylo Ren.
Yeah I'll bet he's used to wrapping his hands around massive shafts.
>>5673515

War machine and iron man i can live with because in my head its just another version of the suit.
Hulk has had so many styles of face that i dont mind anymore.
BUt ant man there just russles mah jimmies.
Cool photo though.
>>5667675
The only way this one could be better is if instead of a log, he was sitting on his speeder, legs dangling off the side, the speeder hovering in place over the water.
>>5676072
Man that would be cool
I really wanna make Luke's black cloak from Return of the Jedi, for the Figuarts Luke, but I don't know how to sew. I can probably do the endor poncho, though, since it's just a square of fabric with a hole in the middle.
>>5675733
Not many people are a fan of mixing continuities, but I actually don't mind. I like buying the iterations of the characters that resonate with me, hence a mixed team. That, and Giant-Man is just too fun to play with, even if he is on the smaller side.
Also just noticed that Spider-Man's swing arc makes no sense in this picture but whatever, it's too late.
>>5673637
Oh you.
>>5674683
I have to stick a handle it strap on mine one day to make it serviceable. The new one looks like that task might be easier given the pleather backing.
>>5675073
I saw a fix to the new ML Cap using the ML 1 head. It looked pretty darn good.
>>5675718
Phases looks strange to me without her cape.
>>5675860
I like the weathering you did to the truck.
>>5676072
Neat idea. Is that a coaster?
>>5676086
That chair looks comfy, but the colour and pattern are too garish for me.
>>5676153
>Neat idea. Is that a coaster?
It's a garden... thingy. I dunno. My mom had a couple of them, one broke and looks very ancient, the other you see in the pic.
>>5676153
Yeah I always have her with the cape but sometimes I like to think that she's just another trooper who went and got himself a really cool custom paint job to show off to his friends even though no one else thinks its that great. Plus without it she can move around more.
Loving the new HACKS, tons of outdoor photography potential!

Got any pics or links?
>>5668746
Sorry bruh totally forgot about this thread!
I bought this "fire embers" photo on shutterstock and placed it in the picture with photoshop.
>>5668573
They are pretty cool, clearly more cool than the toybiz versions, I'm a new ML collector also, to me they are perfect
>>5676167
You should consider building a diorama out of it.
>>5679400
Here you go.
>>5679473
Glad you enjoy them!
Feedback pls. Flaws that i could work on? Things that i did right?
>>5679066
>>5679066
>>5680087
I kind of get what you were going for here, but the colour palette coupled with the distance from the figure makes it too impersonal for me. There's nothing really interesting in the foreground either to make it pop in spite of the background having some interesting details.
If you kept the same angle, but positioned Venom Snake much closer to the camera, say maybe to the left or right and kept his face and gun in focus, it would make for a more intimate photo.
That's just my thoughts.
I'm really digging the MM Link, especially all the extras they packed in with it.
Its also nice that the weather is warming up. I always do like seeing toys in nature shots.
>>5680006
Holy fuck that is perfect, how does it look from different angles?
Literally my only complaint about the new cap was his Hammer-Head
>>5678685
>tfw no cute pink robo leia
>>5680976
They look really cute!
>>5680980
Here you go. Neck is a tad bit long but the face matches the body perfectly.
>>5682574
Downright phenomenal. Looks like it came from a movie.
>>5682574
god damn i need a Godzilla 2000
Why has the photo thread been sone inactive lately? These threads are basically the reason i even come to this board.
>>5684119
I think most of /toy/ has been pretty underactive lately, likely because of bans.
>>5682605
That's a custom paint job on the head right
Surely they don't match up that well
>>5676167
Oh, and here I thought it was a Monster Rancher reference.
>>5684119
i was moved to full time at work, that and i have been playing fallout.
>>5684422
>>5684425
>>5684426
my first underwater photo. i tested it in my fish tank.
>>5684119
I think it might also be due to a perceived lack of validation and overly critical nature of some others towards what is posted here. It can be a bit of a turn off for some people. Me? I just enjoy seeing people having fun even though I keep quiet about it most of the time.
Your picture did make me wonder though, would Motoko pop up on the Xenomorph's receptors as something akin to a synthetic? Does she even have a heat or pheremone signature?
>>5684154
I asked him and yeah, there's some reprinting going on. Still looks better than the base head in my opinion.
>>5684422
If they had released Arcee maybe 2-3 years ago I might have pounced, but my tastes and budget have become too selective as of late. She is a very cheerful looking figure though.
>>5684429
Neat. Is it waterproof or do you have a special bag for it?
>>5684451
>>5684455
Needs Griffith and Casca.
"Stay DOWN!"
>>5685131
The camera is water proof up to like 6 feet. I got it just for underwater photos.
>>5685131
Id like to get griffith but they modeled casca after her movie version and im not fond of it
>>5685153
Its a tough call between the two. Black swordsmen is easier to pose but they are both must buys.
How do you like band of hawk guts? I thought about getting him but golden age is my least favorite part of the story. Not because of the content but because ive read/watched it so many times.
>>5684119
I got a job with shit hours. Most days, by the time I get home I'm way too tired to set up/take pictures. On the plus side, I've got a shitload of new toys and I should have enough for a good camera soon too, so hopefully that'll get me off my ass.
>>5685223

just got Mikasa this morning and had to take this quick shot.

Beautiful holiday here in the land of socialism and syrup. Made my first attempt at outdoor figure photos. I hate nature but I think I might do this more often because it was pretty fun.
>bought a photography box last week
>haven't used it yet because I'm too lazy to iron the backdrop sheets
Jesus christ I suck
Kinda wanna edit this to make it darker.
>>5682574
Guessing your the photographer really slick son! Perfect on its own but I have a couple of tips. Smoke adds depth/distance if you have a fog machine awesome. But you can buy cans of smoke http://www.atmosphereaerosol.com/products/buy
Also if you have some spray paint/fiberfill some wire and an led or two you can make slick explosion/smoke and fire effects

She uses a 12 inch vibro-shaft that directly connects to the nerve impulses of her clit. Much better. She's got such muscular control she can rape three boys just with her ass, pussy, and clit.
>>5690765
>nah, that's gross, dude
What are you, gay?
i still have trouble finding the right size to post, hope this doesn't come out too big.
>>5690776
aaaaand it did. fantastic.
>>5690776
1600 is the maximum decent size.
I come out of web design so the idea of making something over 600 wide always gives me pause, though these days I prefer a 1200*900.
I need to get out more and take pictures. I'm always using my crappy light box.
>>5690776
Relax man, mine always come out real big too, which I should fix. I like the pic though.
Filthy mobile pleb here, trying out a new resize app.
>>5690786
>So did you hear they've replaced you with Jared Leto?
Actually, when that MAFEX comes out, I'd love to see a photoshoot of these two and the MAFEX Leto Joker and Batfleck just chillin', that would be amazing.
just felt like going wild on filters, pls no bully
>>5690782
>>5690784
Thanks!
>>5690812
Dude don't worry about the filters I have this thing where I sometimes use them a bunch too and use a lot of contrast. It's my odd editing style. I like this pic too, give me this comic/manga feel.
Thought I'd share one of my old pics from Mikasa.
>>5689263
protip, use a big sheet of white paper for the backdrop. i used one of those light boxes before. they sucked.
>>5690841
I don't have any paper big enough around the house, I'll have to get some from a shop next time I'm in town.
I ironed the sheets today just to try them, I don't think they're too bad.

>So they replaced you with a NECA too, huh?
>>5690974
The lack of a MAFEX Bane is fucking shameful.
>>5691633
>>5692082
I know :^(
I wouldn't mind so much if the movie masters wasn't such a fucking manlet.
>>5692087
I'm hoping that either Figuarts does an Arkham Bane for the HD reissue, or that there's a really good Bane in the DCEU that gets a MAFEX.
>>5692121
Mafex just released the bank robber version of the Joker, I'm still hoping for a Dark Knight Rises Bane.
I don't know what's taking them so long. They made Selina fucking Kyle and she was one of the worst things about the film.
>>5692135
The usual bugbear is rights issues, and it's complicated by the fact they've got a new Batman movie that just came out they're making toys for.
Speaking of, if the DCC collector movie whatever figures, the expensive ones they're trying to compete with figuarts and mafex with, if that Faora really doesn't have leg articulation like the ones they showed at SDCC, then god I hope MAFEX does a Faora.

>1/18
Fuck. They'd be perfect if they were 1/12.
The lights that came with my photo box are really fucking hot (colour temperature-wise), it takes a shit load of editing to make them not bright orange.
>>5695693
Should've made your own senpai, get some LED daylight bulbs to fix that
>>5695693
This anon right here >>5695945 is right I use desk lamps and Daylight bulbs for my lightbox. I still edit some to make it a bit more vibrant and bright but not as much as with soft white bulbs and such.
>>5695983
Here's the small one I use. Its nice since it holds pencils and stuff. I got it at my local Target. It was on sale for $10.
>>5695983
>>5695991
Sorry for the sideways pic. Forgot to edit it.
Anyways here's the other one I use, the big one. It gives off more light since the cone radiates the light. Got this for $10 too at a Fry's since they were removing the furniture section.
>>5695991
>>5695997
Thanks, I'll try to find something like that.
Actually I just thought, maybe I don't need a new pair of lamps, just bulbs? If I can find some LED daylight bulbs for this type of lamp it'll save me having to replace them entirely.
These are the lamps I have.
>>5695983
I use lamps with a clip for the base, got 2 for $10 each, the bulbs are what really matter though
>>5695997
Ones like these are great, throw in a super bright daytime white LED and you have some great instant lighting for photos. Also great to mess around with some cheap colour changing LEDs too. Two of them with some paper or similar to defuse the light will make for a cheap decent lighting set up that isn't too big.
>>5666780
From a theater/film standpoint? Clothes are props until they're put on. Then they're costumes...but they can be removed and used as props again...soooo yes?
How big are your lightboxes? I'm trying to build a small-ish one since I have a small room.
>>5696003
Yeah that might work. Though I don't know how you would go about changing the bulbs on those since I haven't owned any like that. Still though you could do what >>5696004 did and get some lamps. Most of the time you can get them for like $5.
>>5696005
I totally agree. I only wish I had gotten there earlier to try and get two. I've also been meaning to try colored bulbs to spice up my photo sessions.
>>5696016
What camera are you using? I'm just using my phone camera. Also, thanks for the dimensions for yours, I think that size could work for a lightbox in my room.
>>5696015
I have two, the large one is 18in(W)x18in(D)x16in(H)and the small one is 12x12x12in I think. I made the small one first then went and made the big one for larger photo sessions.
>>5696036
This is the type. I just need to find some cool coloured LED ones.
The current ones I'm using are 240V 50W halogen bulbs.
>>5696036
I'm a phone-pleb too. I take all of my phones with my LG G4 in manual mode.
Regarding the photo box size, I think bigger is better, providing you have the space.
The one I have has white fabric sheets with metal frames for support, they stick together with velcro to make a box shape and have a built in carry case to fold away into, it's pretty handy for setting up and packing away after each photoshoot.
>>5696079
>all of my phones

Here's an example of an unedited shot using my light box and super warm lamps. Had to crop it slightly cause the original was over 5mb.
Waterfall is plastic food wrap.
>>5696095
That reddish and pale blue light is the bane of my fucking existence.
>>5696316
In a photo editing program learn how to change the white balance. Never a problem again
>>5696385
No, that's what I mean. It can be a huge pain in the ass to edit out properly.
>>5696391
image>adjustments>color balance
It's...really easy and Photoshop CS2 is totally free
>>5696316
That photo was taken with the white balance down to around 2800K too. The lights are too warm to take good photos with.
>>5697076
Are those gloves or did he peel the skin off his hands?
>>5697078
he peeled the skin off, flipped them around and make some ed gein-esque gloves out of them. what you see is the inside of his skin.
