Oops Edition
1:18
BBi used to make detailed 1:18 shit back in the early to mid 2000s before their current Elite Force line which for the most part is the same molds on figures with less detailed paint. This is back when 21st Century Toys was a thing. Oldfags remember.
Not sure why the vehicles didn't make a comeback. They used to do fighter jets too. I still hate myself for not buying the F-16 and F/A-18 when they were $40 at TRU
why'd the other thread stop bumping?
>>6344131
Oldfag here, and I do remember. I love those old 1:18 vehicles. The crash pretty much nuked them as a viable retail item.

I started a new one then that one 404'd overnight for some reason and then someone started this one and here we are.
That's why the first few posts here seem out of context, its missing one side of a conversation I was having with an Anon over scale helicopters

Hey, anons! Trying to get into toy photography for some time, working on it, but getting no attention. How do I know what I'm doing wrong? I know my stuff isn't of high quality, but it doesn't seem to be bad too.
Posting here my latest picture, risking deanoning myself. Maybe I can get some fair criticism or advice?

Nice antibacterial wipes m8 :^)
>>6345156
i use them to dust my desk and shelves. theu're pretty shit and leave residue behind though. Gonna try a different brand after I've finished this pack
>>6345124
shakes are natural!
>>6345220
Just fucking use a soft cloth. Don't put unneeded chemicals/alcohol near your stuff. And fucking stop using antibacterial hit in general.
>>6345124
kek, it was actually on a tripod, I was shaking the troopers for dramatic effect
It was a goddamn travesty the Four Horsemen 4 pack didn't come with a robe for Flair
>>6345273
i don't use them on my figures, don't worry. I don't normally use anti-bacterial wipes, i usually just use a damp towel, but i decided to try out wet wipes for a chance and they're shit.
>>6345366
i assume it fucks up the paint
>>6345056
Your composition is just fine and your posing is decent enough - I like your nendo shots more than your full-human Jojo ones, so maybe your posing in those shots could use a little work (for example, fix Dio's running pose where he's about to kick the cat).
As for getting attention, on instagram the tags are how they are seen in the first place. Try copying a few tags from other photographers, namely ones from toy groups and such and then see how it goes from there. Otherwise, keep posting - you don't have too many up to grab people's attention just yet, but you have the potential
>>6345366
Don't know, but the usual suspects are:
>breaks down paint
>breaks down plastic
Those are the 2 major reasons you never just go putting shit on toys until you're 100% sure it won't fuck'em up.
>>6345498
OH, i thought you meant something would happen with putting alcohol near the toys.
No one here has said they put it on toys.

Nice Hoplites. I bought Hector and Spartan v2 myself (plus a skelleton and an amazon leader for my daughter)
I hope to get more in the near future.
Want some romans though, but I understand BFS are into fantasy right now.
>>6346443
Thanks man! I'll try something different next time. :)
>>6346498
Romans would be badass. I'd also be down for a helmet like Oliver Stone's Alexander.
I hope they keep doing the Greek thing and don't just abandon it for the Fantasy or other things
>>6345414
Are there any specific /toy/ soldiers on Instagram that I can base my tags around? I wouldn't mind following people from here.

Thats pretty nice. You should nab the new Kup, he's pretty good all around and has a pretty nice transformation.
>>6350936
Thanks! and yeah the new Kup looks good but I haven't seen the new kup in stores yet.
I'm not too much of a TF collector, but will get things I think look interesting. I actually just bought that one loose at a con swap meet as an impulse buy.
Spent all day messing around with Miku and Soundwave.

>>6351720
>>6350648
What is this guy? Some kind of space pirate?
>>6351868
That's what l thought before getting them.
I personally prefer 1/12 but these guys are perfect as they are.
>>6351834
Looks like some sort of space lobster ninja to me.

Do it anon. They're great figures.
>>6355337
It doesn't matter because people repost the same pics at times, and the archive exists, and toy is slow as fuck. Threads hang here for like a week after death, and sit in the archive fuck knows how long.

Great shot OP, FairPlay!
Just getting into 1/6 myself and finding it a lot harder to shoot than 1/18!! Scale is a tough one
Got my first Hot Toys. Got exactly what i expected: the Visuals are phenomenal, but i can't pose her for shit.

Got some props. Gonna have to get s'more of these model kits, they work pretty well with most figures.
>>6361541
Where'd you get the table and chairs?
>>6361567
Off Amazon, it was a model kit. Hasegawa. Pretty easy to put together, took about 20min give or take. 1 kit came with 4 chairs and two table sections.
>>6361567
nice pic, does the sheath work with albw link's master sword?
also how do I make the file size smaller besides cropping and saving as a jpeg?
>>6362141
>nice pic, does the sheath work with albw link's master sword?
No. That bit towards he hilt with the triforce where it flares out stops it from going in all the way
I resize by choosing a file size when I save to camera roll on the VSCO app
>>6354869
Gollum: My preciousssssssssssssss
>>6362141
When you save it as jpeg, you can compress it as much as 50%.
>>6361392
what monster thing is that? from ghost busters?

>>6362923
spawn?
>>6362923
It's a legit question, no need to be a prick about it.
>>6362141
You could just resize it to 2500x1875 without much loss of quality, especially since there isn't much play on focus on this shot. The file size should come out to much less than 2 MB
Peep what the wife surprised me with. Ironically it came from Amazon.
Anyone got some more figma? Twilight Princess Pics?
>>6363043
That isn't irony.
>>6351670
Hey, nice, I haven't seen a Mario Party shot before. Now I'm imagining what it would be like to have a fully constructed board set for a backdrop. Imagine how neat (and time intensive) that would be.
>>6351720
>max jealousy ensues
they look badass, esepcially with that lighting. The detailing is great.
>>6357838
This is a really nice shot, anon.
10/10 would consider using as a wallpaper
Does anyone else /travelfig/? I usually bring a few figures with me when I travel, just to either fidget with them or take pics. If so, what figs do you take, and why did you take those specific figs/toys?
Pic related, I'm visiting my parents and I took these two troopers.
>>6363150
Yeah I really do think
>>6362903
Yes. It's one of the newest figures from Ghostbusters select. Pretty cool toy, actually.
>>6363043
Nice
>>6363179
Thanks!
They're great figures. They have some articulation issued, especially legs amd head, but the design is just too awesome.
>I said pick up that can
>>6366777
I'll race you

which figure is this? or is it a custom?

I just now realized that I need to get a couple more links for tunic repaints
>>6368075
as weird as it sounds, that's why I feel I can put off buying him, since I know he's readily available.
I still need to work on my lighting ,any other feedback?
>>6368227
You could probably use a better angle, try getting in closer and then angling it so that Spider-man is in the lower right corner with Goblin in the upper left
>>6368229
Thanks, I was thinking the exact thing but I ended up shooting it this way so I could try to figure out how to use gimp to remove the stands I was using to make it look like Hobgoblin was floating. So I'll probably reshoot it here in a few.
>>6344129
Oh wow, nice job OP.
>>6367257
>>6368227
green screen it
>>6367533
Don't do it. Skyward Sword Link never had different tunics. Go for the Wind Waker nendo and repaint them, this way you can create the four swords quartet or the tri force heroes
Finally got the brown Figma horse to go with my TP Link. Can't wait to get at it and shoot some more adventures.
Acid Rain pic not related
>>6369429
how much did you pay?
>>6369432
$60 from Akiba Soul
>>6368799
Different anon, but why haven't I thought of this before? Great idea.
>>6369526
The Albw Link could also be repainted, seing how in albw Link had different tunics.
As real as it comes!
>>6363603
I used to hate that song because English is not my country's first language but my English was pretty good. So all my classmates asked if that song was ironic and I was, "No, it's NOT fucking ironic at all motherfuckers!".
But now I "get" the song and kinda like it.
Now isn't that... a kick to the head? Yeah, I really do think.
To someone who has Marvel, Capcom and DBZ figures:

How'd I do?
>>6373330
the dino doesn't contrast too well with the background. Try taking the shot from a lower angle or change to a different background. Good depth of field on the figure though. The dino and the figure riding him are both in focus.
I told myself I'd go out and shoot once I got the brown horse but I've been to busy with work.
Fuck being a grownup.
>>6372656
>>6373757
This is really cool. Its a shame we dont get a horse figma actually colored and designed after epona
Can I get tips and readings on lighting and using a camera?
>>6374235
>>6374235
Have atleast 2 sources of light
Filter said light sources by putting paper towels, toilet paper or tissue paper over them.
Use LED bulbs so the paper does not burst into flames
In my opinion I find it easier to shoot if I silt back then zoom in rather than be up close all the time with the macro on.
Also the lamps don't have to be some expensive lamps marketed for photography. They can be the 10 dollar desk lamps from walmart.
The photo you posted is good in my opinion. The face just needs focused on a bit better it's kinda blurry.
When shooting try to stay still unless you have a camera with really fast shutter speed. Rest the camera on something or use a tripod. Also turn on image stabilization.
I hope this helps.
I don't love it. Tell me what you guys think

I'm picking up a few more of these and wanna start shooting a narrative centered around team dynamics so I need to figure out what their personalities are like, all I know is that Jack on the end there strikes me as the kind of guy that will clear a room full of bad guys with duel pistols but will be super metro about it, like he's dancing a Flamenco or something. Maybe like a redicilois Latin Lover type. Bob is the salty world weary type. I don't know what to make of the Marine or the others that'll come in.
What other types of personalities should I consider?
