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!

At least until a company comes up with great exterior lenses for smartphones, that...

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....

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...

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 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...
