You know, even with how bad the movies are, at least I can make THIS happen!

Not sure what this is supposed to be:

Shouldn't there be a Matrix in there somewhere?

It's the ending to Age of Extinction! :O

Noticed AOE Galvatron has a hole in his chest... First time I looked at him I didn't even notice this... Today I added a light behind him. I want to see about getting a red gel, or filter the light to make it more red/yellow...






Shot all these with my iPhone5. I should try my wife's Mark II later.

Oh man, nobody show this to Rodimus.

Say, how in or out of scale is MP Hot Rod(imus) with Generations Springer and Arcee?
Out of my own logic I'd guess that he'd be huge, but without owning ANY of these figures...

Otherwise it would have a whole lotta potential witht he love triangle.

GO Power Rangers Dinobots! They all look so awesome together. Getting the next three will only be icing on the cake!

Hey, that's a pretty neat feature.

I kind of wanted the figure back then for its truck mode and as a rival for EMOP but ended up skipping it.

OK you win, recreating that photo is impossible!

How are these foe a consolation?

Cool movie reference. Blitzwing needs a burger though!

True, but Classic Rodimus with Fans Project Protector Armour works very well.

Thanks, Really glad I finally got Blitzwing, I heard so much negative veiws on this guy, sure he isnt perfect but he is still a fine figure.

Or you could cheat and use Cloud Rodimus, who's exactly the same size as Springer for obvious reasons.

B*tch, please. I'm superior.

[Madeus Prime]

B*tch, please. I'm superior.

I want that guy soooooo badly.

[SW's SilverHammer]

B*tch, please. I'm superior.

Reminds me of Reaver from Fable. I really hope i'm not the only person who's played that game .

[robotmel]

Thats the way to do it!

[Cyberpath]

Still superior.



Still taller. Don't you just love this toy?



Old friends.

Great pictures Cyberpath. Your lighting is awesome, it gives the toys somewhat more depth and realism.
What sort of lighting setup do you use?

Thanks! For this I used an off camera flash inside a relatively huge softbox on the right. And on the left a piece of milky white plexiglass as a reflector to open up the shadows. (Depends on how light/dark you want the shadows. Some shots require more reflectors; like when shooting dark or chromed pieces against a dark background.) The large light source gives the toys nice smooth pleasant highlights.
And I generally set the bristol paper like a waterfall to cancel the horizon line (unless it suits the composition.)
The angle of the light source, the distance of the figure from the background, from the light.. it all depends on the desired look.

Something roughly like this:

I REALLY wish there were new versions of the other Dinobots done in the FoC style.

This would make for a pretty bad-ass pumpkin carving.
