SHOTS FOR THE BBTS SWEEPSTAKES
October 9th was the last day to submit entries for Big Bad Toy Store's 25th Anniversary Sweepstakes. And holy crap, gang...if you've noticed I haven't been on the social as much (and if you notice you're getting this pretty late), it's because I was driving back and forth between mom's and my place so I could shoot my entry pics. And I shot those pics because I didn't want BBTS to own any of the more "artistic" shots I've taken in the past few years.
On the plus side, now I feel like I can take a break for some caffeinated beveraging!
And hey, if you ended up being a finalist in the Sweepstakes, let me know on the socials.
OCTOBER'S PHOTO CONTESTS' DETAILS!
Clearly, October's photo contests' theme is Halloween! And now, the details:
Rules
- One image submission per contest. If you enter both contests. You may use the same image, or two different ones.
- No nudity. I want to show the submissions off and I don’t want any social media flagging the contest.
- Must be 18 or older.
Submissions
Entries are due at 11:59 PM PST on October 25th, voting ends on October 29th, and the winners will be announced on the October 30th livestream!
Send your submissions to toypixx@gmail.com, and let me know which contest(s) the pic(s) is (or are) for. Also include your social media accounts so I can send people your way.
Prizes
This month's prizes are pretty rad! First, the Patreon contest winner will receive the Jada Toys SDCC exclusive Violent Ken, and the YouTube winner will receive a GI Joe Classified Retro Cobra Commander (I have him, he's rad)!
Good luck to everyone who enters!
PICTURE-PERFECT PREORDERS
I don't know what to say here, gang. There were exactly four that I considered photogenic, and two of those are McFarlane, so who knows on the articulation.
But hey, if you're into McFarlane's Bleach take, Storm's King of Fighters, or Mattel's Masterverse line, here's some stuff for ya to check out.
With NYCC happening this week, I fully expect this section to be a LOT bigger next Sunday.
NOTE: Entertainment Earth, eBay, and HobbyLink Japan links are affiliate links, which means I get a cut of the sale at no extra cost to you
THIS WEEK'S PATREON FREEBIES!
This week's Patreon freebies continue to go with spooky season, but before I get into that...
Megan's the first person in the Toypixx Venti tier ($10)! Now I need to come up with reasons for her to stay and others to join. Massive appreciation to you, Megan!
It's a heavy wallpaper week for your action figure photography! First up is a house on hill, surrounded by bats! And no, not batmen.Then there's a crime scene where your Dark Knight Detective, and maybe some other, can hang out. And finally, an actual pumpkin in a barn! Because what's Halloween without a pumpkin? Oh, there's also a graphic of a wolf howling at an orange moon.
And, of course, the weekly hi-res image and Photoshop files for ya to have.
So, if ya dig 'em, go get 'em!
THIS WEEK'S VIDEOS
I was made to look silly Monday night as I asked the question, "Is Playboy still a thing"? Because I based the question on all the different bunny-girl action figures that have been coming out. Then the chat informed me that's kind of a thing in Japan. So yeah...silly.
On Thursday, we chatted the best figures of 2024, so far. I felt a lot less silly in that one.
So, if you wanna check 'em out, click the replays!
AND WITH THAT
It's been a crazy busy couple of weeks! And I think that craziness is finally over. Now, I can get back to building up the Toypixx website, and setting up everything so the YouTube channel can start making money. Because, ladies and gentlemen, you've all helped push the Toypixx YouTube channel to nearly 4,000 watch hours in the past year...and that's what it needs for full monetization.
So, as always, thank you!
Maybe now I can have the nurse pull the caffeinated I.V.
Have fun, and happy snapping!
