DOING MORE FOR THE PATRONS!
I feel like Toypixx's paying Patreon patrons need more, and it's going on time to give it to them.
Beginning this week, I'll be putting up Patreon exclusive content. I'll be giving thoughts on figures, behind-the-scenes of getting the Toypixx office ready to go (still haven't started that, yet), how I'm approaching Toypixx from a business perspective, why I'm setting up things the way I am...basically anything I can think of that isn't related to action figure photography.
Besides, Bane threatened to hit me if I don't. And he's mean.
PICTURE-PERFECT PREORDERS
Okay, NOW we're talkin'!
21 photogenic figures went up for preorder last week, making it a shooters paradise. As for what has yours truly most stoked, it's gotta be the Storm Arena Ken, followed closely by the Silver Knight 2 Legions Builder!
Hasbro's latest Legends wave went up, along with some extra stock of Valkyries and the Trubble Bubble at EE. And BBTS has NECA's Mirage Karai up. I have her. She's rad.
But that's just me. Which photogenic figures will be joining your collection?
Be ready to talk about a lotta these on Monday's livestream at 7:00 PM EST.
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!
Another set of Patreon freebies went out this week! But first, this month's Patreon photo contest theme is...
I'll be posting more details on the Toypixx Patreon page, so be on the lookout for 'em! Anyone in the Grande tier ($5.00) or higher may participate. But for now, get those action figure couples out and get to snapping!
When it comes to wallpapers, I was pretty BASEd (I'm not apologizing for that) this week, as underground desert and otherworldly base backgrounds went up.
Lightning crashes in the first of last week's effects (LIve would be proud), and a light haze is there for all you foreboding action figure pic needs.
Of course, last week's Photoshop and hi-res image files also went up.
Anyway, if ya dig any of 'em, go get 'em!
THIS WEEK'S VIDEOS
In the past week's livestreams, a Retro Flint - who's a far better GI Joe leader than that poster boy / schoolyard principal Duke. Seriously, what does he even do? - was shown off, and I think yours truly honestly NEEDS that! Cover Girl rules, too. Of course, we checked out a whole lot more photogenic figures and newsworthy items on Monday's livestream.
On Thursday, and with Ramen Toy's M.U.S.K. up for preorder, we chatted dioramas. Because, at least to me, dios are kind of a big deal when it comes to action figure photography, AND I NEEDS MOAR!!!
Click the replays to check 'em out, and remember to join us on the Toypixx livestreams every Monday and Thursday at 7:00 PM EST.
AND WITH THAT...
I have a bit of a cold that just won't let go, which is my excuse for a lack of coffee and caffeinated jokes this week. The coughing's keeping me awake instead of the caffeine. And that's not cool beans (*heh heh* because coffee beans)!
But hey, that's no excuse to not have a blast with some action figure photography. Hope you're all feeling grand, getting some much-deserved plastic crack, and I'll catch ya on the livestreams.
Have fun, and happy snapping!
