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 week, I had to hide the wallet. This week's photogenic figures, however, have me safe from Mr. Stabby's wrath.

Zelda looks great, though she also looks like she can barely move her legs. I'm curious about Masquerena, but not curious enough to buy her. And, of course, there are a couple McFarlane Toys figures and a Legends Warbird. She looks fantastic, but nothing at the waist kills me.

Yup. I'm safe from Mr. Stabby's wrath. At least this week.

THIS WEEK'S PATREON FREEBIES!


With spooky season over, it's time to get back to your regularly-scheduled Patreon freebies! But first...

November's busy enough where I'm skipping the YouTube photo contest. But the Patreon photo contest is still happening! And this month's theme is RELAXATION!

The prize is Hasbro's GI Joe Classified Road Pig. So get in on the snapping action by signing up for the $5.00 Grande tier, and click here for all the other details.

And now, it's Patreon freebie time!

The first wallpaper's a lit-up warehouse one, which is nice because it can work for most any figure. Then there's the sun, which is a bit tougher to use with just any figure, though Supes would work. With the weather turning, it was time for a blizzard effect (partly to get me prepped for the upcoming Michigan winter). And, with a MAFEX Jubilee coming out in another year or so (if we're lucky), there are also some fireworks.

Oh, and of course, all the past week's Photoshop and hi-res image files.

So, if ya dig any of 'em, go get 'em!

AND WITH THAT

This short newsletter's over!

As we near the end of the year, I don't expect we'll get tons of photogenic announcements, at least from domestic companies. But that doesn't mean the collecting game's over for 2024. I'm catching up on Jada and MAFEX, and looking at more lighting equipment as Toypixx preps for an insane 2025.

That's right. It's not even Turkey Day and I'm already looking ahead to next year. And I can't even blame the coffee.

Have fun, and happy snapping!

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)...

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...

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...
