CONTESTS ENDING AND TOYPIXX WEBSITE WORK!


This is it! After tomorrow night (Monday, Sept. 23, 2024 at 11:59 PST), entries will no longer be accepted for the first two Toypixx photo contests! So if you want in on either one, or both, click here to check out the details, then get to snappin'!

On a related note, that last link goes to the Toypixx website! Between a bit less sleep and copious amounts of caffeinated beveraging, I've been adding to the Toypixx website. So if ya haven't been there in a bit, check it out!

PICTURE-PERFECT PREORDERS


Has it felt like companies have been trying to get your wallets to stab you for the last couple weeks? If so, fret not! Because a lot fewer photogenic figures went up for preorder this past week than the last two (it's still probably a good idea to keep your wallets outta the knife drawer).

Still, we saw some great stuff! My favorites are Jada Toys' Ultra Street Fighter II Guile and NECA's Hammer Films Ultimate Dracula. But man, I also REALLY dig Ramen Toy's vans.

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!


Crazy Patreon weeks are becoming more and more commonplace.

This week brought a whole lotta sand and a bit o' bot, with two backgrounds two sand effects, and six hi-res / Photoshop image files! Ahh...I remember the good-old days of five pics per week.

Oh, and as always...YAY, CAFFEINE!

Anywho, hope ya find these useful!

THIS WEEK'S VIDEOS


Pulse Con and Transformers One have been heavy hitters, wallet-wise!

So, on Monday, we chatted a bit about both when it comes to photogenic-figure offerings. Plus, a whole lotta other figures showed up to get chatted about.

On Thursday, I decided to put together three of this past week's Patreon graphics in a mini Photoshop tutorial, then I left it the chat, who showed me this insane gem on 5K Toys.

And now, this past week's livestreams.

AND WITH THAT


It's time to clean up the ol' studio and get to snappin'! And yeah, that honestly might be my favorite part of the Toypixx week.

Well, aside from the caffeine. I wonder how well coffee plants would hold up to Michigan winters?

Thanks again for reading, all, and enjoy the week.

Have fun, and happy snapping!

In fact, I don't think I have anything The Four Horsemen worked on. So why do I keep thinking about this thing? When I first saw it, yours truly was blown away. And honestly, seeing how well it was sculpted, I started thinking about the lighting setups that could show off all those scales. Then I started looking at reviews of the Valiant...

The Toypixx Newsletter February 23, 2025 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE I'LL LIKELY NEVER AGAIN GET MARVEL LEGENDS It's a weird thing to think about. Marvel Legends (and Toy Biz's Spider-Man Classics before it) were the main gateways to everything you've seen me do as far as videos, livestreams, and photos. So it's weird to think I may never get another one. But after showcasing their brand-new Maximum Spider-Man, I realized the one thing I want them to do (make a ball-peg waist...

Of course, that was a couple centuries before the internet. Though it was also around 1,000 years after coffee was discovered. Lucky guy. These days, as with pretty much all human history, many have opinions on things they're woefully ignorant of. The internet amplifies said ignorance. And in toy collecting, pricing seems to be the...
