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!

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...
