I keep hoping that I'll get my hands on Greatshot and Sixknight so that I can do comparison galleries at the same time. Not sure if that'll happen any time soon though. Sixshot is not on my high priority gallery list at the moment. One day ... or maybe if enough of you keep requesting him ...

How about making some kind of poll? Where you write up an list of figures you’re going to do galleries of, then we vote on which one we want most?

I'd prefer to keep the list unofficial. I use this thread to gauge interest in certain figures.

Thanks for putting up the new BotCon toys, I've really been dying to see those. :grin:

Just a tip if you're looking for Sixknight, his American name is Quickswitch, and he was sold as thus in America and probably most of the world. Also, if you're grouping sixchangers together, be sure to throw in RID Megs, he was a sixchanger, too (his Galvy upgrade gave him 4 more, making him the only 10-changer in existance)

Is a Henkei Astrotrain gallery in the pipeline? I would like to see one sooner though.

I have my original Quickswitch from when I was a kid as well as a MIB stickers-unapplied Quickswitch that I got a couple of years ago for really cheap on ebay (like $70 or something ridiculously cheap like that). Just need Sixknight and Greatshot and I'll do their galleries.

RID Megatron and Galvatron are already in the galleries.

I would like to see a custom TF gallery. There are alot of incredible customs out there and that would be unique as well as interesting to view. This may require the help of those who own these customs but, it would be cool.

I'd love to see comparison shots of Hasbro's and Henkei's Nemesis figures.
Prime isn't even my favorite character, but that mold...
Potentially is my favorite.

I've been meaning to ask you for a long time about your shooting set-up...

What camera and lights are you using?

I'll definitely have comparison pics of both, assuming I can get my hands on both of them.

As for my photo setup ... trade secret

The best advice I can give any of you who are interested in taking photographs of your Transformers is the following:

1) Read your camera's instruction manual. Read about the different settings.

2) Play around with the white balance on your camera.

3) Make sure you're using the appropriate lighting setting for the type of light that is in the room or scene. If you're using traditional incadescent lights (regular light bulbs), make sure your camera is using that setting. If you're using fluorescent lights, use that setting. If you're outside and it's cloudy, use the cloudy setting. If it's daylight and sunny, use that setting.

4) Figure out the macro setting on your camera. It's usually designated with a little flower icon on the big name cameras such as Nikon, Canon and Sony. This single option will make your close up pictures be in focus and not be blurry.

The rest is up to you guys to figure out. I'm always playing around with the lighting and my camera options. The best part about digital photography is you can keep taking photos until you get it right. I've redone BotCon Starscream's photos twice already and I'm still not satisfied with his pics (it's tough to take pics of a white figure on a white background). I've spent about $150 in the past 3 weeks on new lights hoping to come up with a solution that will make the lighting in all of my photos better. I'll know next week when some special light bulbs show up if I've figured out the solution to my lighting woes. ** crosses fingers **

Come on... Just tell us what you use for a key light.
And it doesn't look like you're using soft boxes... BUT.......
One maybe??

I personally want to see the humans from TFA made into realisticly posable figures.

Just picked him up last night and i must say his detail is above average, nice and tight joints and plenty of articulation and his cylinder drum/weapon is really cool, so a BIG recommend getting this guy...
