The Toypixx Newsletter February 23, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE I'LL LIKELY NEVER AGAIN GET MARVEL LEGENDS It's a weird thing to think about. Marvel Legends (and Toy Biz's Spider-Man Classics before it) were the main gateways to everything you've seen me do as far as videos, livestreams, and photos. So it's weird to think I may never get another one. But after showcasing their brand-new Maximum Spider-Man, I realized the one thing I want them to do (make a ball-peg waist...

The Toypixx Newsletter February 16, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE WHY I DON'T CHAT PRICING Thomas Gray first wrote, "ignorance is bliss." Of course, that was a couple centuries before the internet. Though it was also around 1,000 years after coffee was discovered. Lucky guy. These days, as with pretty much all human history, many have opinions on things they're woefully ignorant of. The internet amplifies said ignorance. And in toy collecting, pricing seems to be the...

The Toypixx Newsletter February 9, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE DOING MORE FOR THE PATRONS! I feel like Toypixx's paying Patreon patrons need more, and it's going on time to give it to them. Beginning this week, I'll be putting up Patreon exclusive content. I'll be giving thoughts on figures, behind-the-scenes of getting the Toypixx office ready to go (still haven't started that, yet), how I'm approaching Toypixx from a business perspective, why I'm setting up things the...

The Toypixx Newsletter February 2, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE STARTING OVER WITH TRANSFORMERS COLLECTING I've been getting MDLX figures, but gave up on Hasbro / Takara TOMY a few years ago after getting horrid figures. The joints were so tight I thought they'd break transforming them, or so loose they just hung there. Then a Studio Series 86 Devastator was announced. And somehow, that kickstarted a need to get back into this franchise I so very much dig. So far, so good....

The Toypixx Newsletter January 26, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE QUICK LOOK AT THE HOME OFFICE OF TOYPIXX... Before it's the home office of Toypixx, of course. The scary yellow and orange walls are what you can see when you look through the glass in the front. Definitely not my cup of tea, and while I'd like to paint it, that's nowhere near the top of the priority list. Especially since... This almost-alley area exists to the left of the larger room with the yellow walls....

The Toypixx Newsletter January 19, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE A FIGURE PHOTOGRAPHER'S COLLECTING DILEMMA Action figures rule! But I think photography also rules! So putting the two together for Toypixx is a natural fit. Being into both of those, however, create quite the dilemma. On top of collecting everyone's favorite pieces of plastic crack, I need to load up on photo equipment, dios, effects, and props for creating pics I'll be happy with. So Mr. Stabby (the wallet)...

The Toypixx Newsletter January 12, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE IDEAS FOR 2025! Things are starting to ramp up when it comes to Toypixx! First, I'll be moving into the new office on February 1, where I'll have the room to shoot plenty of pics and videos, not to mention a nice space to work on the website. As for pics, videos, and the website, I'll be focusing (heh heh) a lot more on the photography aspect of action figures photography. That's because Toypixx needs a...

The Toypixx Newsletter January 5, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE I'VE GOT THE SPOT! Yours truly's finally getting some office space! Starting Feb. 1, Toypixx will have a place all its own. And that's exciting because it means I can get back to shooting for real! For the last three or four months, I've been using the smartphone for all the pics. And while the quality's there, the control isn't. At least until a company comes up with great exterior lenses for smartphones, that...

The Toypixx Newsletter December 29, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE THE FAMILY = THE RAD! Since we're awaiting the final big holiday of 2024, and this is getting sent out late, I figure I'll keep it short. My family's kinda rad. They know I've been saving up to build Toypixx, and a couple other things, and came through huge on Christmas. Here's a shot of December 25th's holiday haul. Ya don't get much more grateful than yours truly when all this is under the tree. And I...
