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...

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...

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...

The Toypixx Newsletter November 3, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE A HELPFUL TIP FOR SMARTPHONE PICS! This week I did something I haven't done in a long time: I shot every pic with my smartphone (iPhone 13 Pro). And because I shot all this week's pics with a smartphone, I figured I'd talk a little bit about that. I used Portrait Mode on every shot I snapped this week. It's great because I can adjust the f-stop / aperture / blurriness, in the phone, when editing the image....
