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!

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....

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...
