SEPTEMBER PHOTO CONTEST VOTING ON YOUTUBE!

It's voting time! Head to the Toypixx website to get a good look at this month's entries, then jump over to the comments section on the Toypixx YouTube channel to vote, in order, for your three favorite photos. Voting ends on Thursday, Oct. 3rd, at 11:59 PM PST. I'll announce the winner all over the Toypixx social media channels on Oct. 4th.

And tune in to Monday's livestream at 7:00 PM EST where I'll announce October's photo contest theme.

Until then, always remember these wise words from Optimus Prime:

PICTURE-PERFECT PREORDERS

The action figure scene continues to be pretty light, though there's some great, new stuff coming (plus a couple reissues).

My fave's M. Bison, just because I'm into the line, but the Zombie Grisa's hilariously awesome! Whoever came up with that, bravo! I'm tempted by the Spider-Gwen and Spider-Ham reissue because I want all the MAFEX. And I want to try out a 1000 Toys Halo figure, just not sure this one's it.

But hey, these are just one toy photog's heavily-caffeinated opinions.

THIS WEEK'S PATREON FREEBIES!

---

Before I get too crazy on this week's Patreon freebies, I have some people to thank!

You have no idea how much I appreciate that, gentlemen. Thank you!

As for the freebies, it was a week o' wallpapers! And a bullet trail effect that I think actually works (that prompt's been tough to make do what I want).

First, a clown warehouse for, well, whichever purple-suit wearin', green-hair sportin' figures you might have lying around. Then a city sunrise, where I imagine Spidey eating a breakfast burrito before the day's tusslin'. There's a moonlight alley for all your city-dwelling action figures, the aforementioned bullet trail effect, and the past week's hi-res image and Photoshop files.

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

AND WITH THAT

---

It's time to kick back and enjoy some of my figures. I really need to pick up some more MDLX and MAFEX because I'm getting the plastic crack shakes.

Also, go see Transformers One! I swear it isn't just some goofy quest with silly characters. It's fun, with a whole lotta spark! Orion's / Optimus's characterization's perfect on the silver screen for the first time since 1986. And for the first time ever in the theater, we see what made D-16 / Megatron the tyrant he is today.

And after you watch it, you can join me in my MDLX sickness.

Have fun, and happy snapping!
