Action Figures are BACK, Baby! December's Patreon WINNER! Frickin' LASERS! And a Whole lot MORE!

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...

A lot of action figures are feeling a bit hungover after their big New Year's Eve party

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...

A lot of action figures against a black background

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...

The Toypixx Newsletter December 22, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE IS THE COLLECTION TRANSFORMING? Toypixx focuses on 1/12-scale photogenic figures. But yours truly does dig Transformers MDLX figures. And now, the Age of the Primes has me curious. With the upcoming office space, I'm thinking about what I can do with it, and think a lot of it's gonna have to do with dios and other figure photog things. But a crew that's woefully underrepresented in dios is the Transformers....

Jada Toys' Ultra Street Fighter 2 Violent Ken and Evil Ryu are back to back, with flames in the foreground

The Toypixx Newsletter December 15, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE ONE STEP AT A TIME! Thanks to all of you, I've been able to build an audience for Toypixx. First, I went hard on social media, learned what works, and slowed way down. I'm coming back to it in the near future, but it was kind of a testing phase. Second, beginning a few years ago, I started playing on YouTube, and am close to discovering what works there. Just need a little more testing. And maybe some...

Three Chun-Lis are in the image. The first is one in pink with a stern face. The second is one in blue flashing the peace sign and a smile, and the third is in red and a fighting stance with a screaming face

The Toypixx Newsletter December 8, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES AND TOYPIXX STUFF! Computers. The vast majority of the time, they crush it for us. They make our work easier and can be great tools for efficiency. But when they stop acting like tools for an easier life and more like flaming death rays where, instead of killing you, they just subtly claw at you, bad things happen. Such was the case with this Chun-Li photo. The computer started acting up...

The Toypixx Newsletter Thanksgiving Edition PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YA CRAZY COLLECTORS! This is gonna be a short one. I wanted to say thanks a ton to all of you Toypixx subscribers, as well as everyone on Patreon, those following Toypixx on X / Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and even Threads! Very simply, you make all this fun! And now, a pic from 2020, featuring the official Toypixx mascots: Logan and Dino (complete with the old logo)! I...

The Toypixx Newsletter November 24, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE SPECIAL THANKS TO TRAGIC HERO! AND MYTHICS? The recent Mythic Legions has me thrown off in a good way. Unless you're Mr. Stabby. For years, as incredible as they look, I've been able to avoid Legions because of their lack of articulation. But the latest wave is making serious strides at correcting that oversight. And I'm diggin' 'em! A zillion thanks go out to Tragic Hero for my first Operation: Monster Force...

Optimus Prime is all lit up, with his energon ax, ready to fight Megatron, who's in the foreground

The Toypixx Newsletter November 17, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE SOCIAL MEDIA SLOWDOWN! You may have noticed I haven't been on X / Twitter as much lately. But fret not, action figure photo fans, for the reason is simple. I'm dedicating a lot more time to putting together something I think you'll all enjoy, and will be helpful to your figure photog efforts! I'm still on the ol' socials, though, so be sure to follow Toypixx on YouTube, X / Twitter, Instagram, and even...

Megatron stands in the middle of smoke and fire, with his arm cannon pointed to the left of the pic

The Toypixx Newsletter November 10, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS! It's been a nutty few weeks, as I've been traveling between a couple spots, which is making it tough to keep the quality up with pics. It kinda makes it so I feel like I'm going through the motions. Which is annoying. Hopefully that all dies down soon, however, as there are plans in place to mitigate that in a big way. As always, I'll keep ya posted! PICTURE-PERFECT PREORDERS Last...
