Wow thats a bit pricey for my price rage.. I kinda knew it was gonna be exspensive because its an exclusive but I wasnt sure how much.. ill just get that walmart exclusive battle hooks prime that comes with a repainted movie one landmine figure, commentor is it? something like that, but I cant seem to find it but ill be sure to check my walmarts tomorrow.. If this darkside prime (voyager) was a little cheeper I would buy it..

Darkside's dimension jumping abilities are rather tempting, although the price is certainly not.

Wow those must have been expensive to get. But i own black jetwing and he will pass as my movieverse black convoy

BTW, ive' always wanted to know who you get the pics in the gallery to look so "clean" where the background is pure white? Is it photoshopped? or is it just a white cloth in the background?

It's a little photoshopped ... I lighten the background by a couple of shades when I go through them before posting the photos on the site. The background is a light shade of grey straight off the camera. I have a few different backdrops that I use. If you look closely at the pics in different galleries, you'll see that the background texture around the toy's feet or when the toy is in its alternate mode. Sometimes I use a white vinyl backdrop, sometimes I use a laminated piece of white paper, and sometimes I use a white or black poster board. The real trick is having a decent camera, figuring out the best settings to use on your camera for your local photo environment, and figuring out lighting. It's a learning process ... and even after 8 years, I'm still trying to figure out better ways of doing galleries.

The galleries are very very well done.
