Topic The Toy Collecting + Figure Photography Thread

theJaw

* 7-Nov-2021(#1)

A thread for us forever-kids who dig this sort of thing to talk toys, figure photography, collections, etc. Show yours off, I wanna see em.

Obviously not my photos (you can find some of those in the thread), but look at these things:

Friggin neat. I should preface this thread by saying I tend to lean toward nostalgic properties/toys and I'm not all that "in" on the figure collecting scene. There are just certain pieces that I need and this TMNT/Power Rangers mash up is like smashing two huge aspects of my 90s kid childhood into one gorgeous project. Only one I'm not mega into is Tommy as the Foot Clan soldier (the Tommy head isn't in the photo). I dig that they brought at least one Power Ranger character into the TMNT world instead of vice versa but Tommy doesn't strike me as a Foot guy. That Shredder/Green Ranger mash up is a legit dream fig though.

But yah, share photos of your stuff or just talk about the toys (upcoming or retro) that interest you, etc etc.

I got some neat figures coming in the next couple of weeks, I’ll post them up when they get here.

The only figures I own are ones that I won from a DC Comics sweepstakes drawing several years ago. I have the Ant Lucia Designer Series Bombshell figures for Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Batwoman, and Poison Ivy.

I like it a lot even though it kinda droops a little thanks to her pose. Its no longer available in amazon though. Those bishoujo statues are pretty limited, I missed out on a few from their Street Fighter lineup and theyre really expensive now. They did release a different version of Sakura that I havent bought...

Street Fighter: Sakura Round 2 Bishoujo Statue https://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&lo...

It annoys me that theyre now around $120 msrp. They were like $80 when I started collecting them.

oh, nice that 2nd one is a nicer pose. Less dynamic, but I like it.

decades ago I saved up enough Capcom points for a mail-in Chun-Li statute figure. My order was lost in the mail and I never got it. I was so pissed.

I believe that is the one that I was trying to get.

Thats too bad! Chun Li figures always end up being rare. My last buy was a Chun statue and I was sure it got lost in the mail. I bought it straight from Japan and it took more than 2 months to arrive. I saved more than $100 by purchasing it from a Japanese store but its definitely risky. I havent taken it out of the box yet (dont have space to display it!) otherwise Id take a few pics.

I’ve gotten so many new additions but no time to take pictures or enjoy them. Hopefully this week I’ll post some pics

Snapped a couple of pics of my very full and not set up in any way shelf, it's getting out of hand. What you don't see on the shelf is some random NECA horror figures behind other boxes, various collector's editions (two in those boxes beside the shelf), and a few other things. I need another shelf for sure, we're just still trying to set that bedroom up to get ready for when we have a baby.

Looks like a figure I pre-ordered that was already delayed a few months will be delayed again. I cry (not really but still).

Rather expensive for a funko pop type of figure but I thought they looked cool and possibly limited so I bought a few.

I like the Zangief pile driving (definitely not missionary) the crap out of Ken:

I still take a look at my Waldo books from time to time. I just love crowded art like that.

@theJaw you may also like Jan Van Haasteren

@bill Just googled, and you bet I do. Thanks for the suggestion. Think I'm gonna snag one of these puzzles tbh.

My nephew has a Star Wars book that lets you search for various characters from the series. Going through it reminded me of how much I love that type of art.

Those Jan Van Haasteren puzzles are really neat!

@willyum I actually have this pretty neat “Where’s the Wookie” box set. Came with the first 2 books, a coloring book, some character cut outs, and this badass poster.

That's pretty awesome @theJaw

I've got some more cool additions I need to take photos of. I'm also planning on ordering something like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&lo...

I figure it will help with some of those cool posing action shots, and I can photoshop in a backdrop later if I wanted. If you guys have any better suggestions, I'm all ears also - I'm planning on diving headlong into this action figure photography stuff

willyum

24-Apr-2022(#112)

@theJaw : That's awesome! My nephew has the one on the right; I didn't know there were more.

I mean, I guess I shoulda figured there were....

@Dasgessabel : A collapsible white box for photography. Pretty cool!

theJaw

26-Apr-2022(#113)

Thanks @Dasgessabel & @willyum, I do love that sorta stuff.

Das, that's a badass little fold out studio. Should definitely come in handy for some fig photography. One of these days I'm gonna snag something like that and actually give the photography aspect a go instead of just taking photos of crap laying on my bed haha

willyum, there's also a third Where's the Wookie book and then I think 2 general Star Wars Waldo-style books. I want them all, that art can just keep me occupied for hours honesty.

This one's a doozy, and probably my favorite figure at present. Images in spoiler tags:

Ha ha, I always love these unlicensed figures with names like "The Last Survivor" with the Last of Us font.

I've seen then for all kinds of figures. The Mad Max Fury Road one is awesome looking too.

Yeah most of these unlicensed figures like that are of fantastic quality, though. I think the unlicensed part and slight name variations turns some people off (and probably the price), but Ellie is amazing. The cylinder on the revolver comes out and spins, there's a Taylor authentication sticker inside the guitar, the bow actually shoots, most of the diary pages are filled out with text from the game that you can actually read, etc. Very high quality

I've got some ThreeA 1:6 scale figures from Ashley Wood's line, and the detail is nuts. All the weapons and bags and holsters and ... everything is so detailed and operable. I've eyeballed a few of those "off-name" figures but the prices usually scare me away, but 1:6 scale is a whole other world. So good. So expensive.
