Nearly five years ago, I sat down with Tony_Bacala (owner of TFW2005.com and ToyArk.com) and pitched my idea for a website. "The Power Rangers is going to celebrate their 20th anniversary soon - I think we can capitalize on that." To this day, Tony_Bacala still has no idea WTF we watch, why we watch it, or what the hell a Sentai is. But he stressed one thing - take pictures. "People like to look at sh!t" he so lovingly said. "Words suck. Pictures are cool. Give them cool sh!t to look at, they'll come back."
Five years later, I will comfortably say we have the largest gallery database of tokustasu available. And we haven't even scratched the surface of what's out there. Our goal has never been to catalogue an entire toy line or franchise, never to take pictures just because pictures. Taking pictures is a passion, a hobby, and we're able to take our passion for our hobby and share it with you.
Nearly five years ago, Sentai Tamashii (aka Tom or @SoulInkChu) volunteered to help take some pictures to start our galleries off while I focused on learning the in's and out's of photography. Our first pictures are embarrassingly enough shot with an iPhone 4. They are part of the reason we decided to go back and do some older stuff but with our new tech.
And here we are - our 500th gallery. We struggled on what to do with this one. We wanted to do something awesome and exciting, but not one single figure seemed worthy of the title. And we wanted to do something more than just something to do something - so we decided that we would do a gallery of our favorite things to do when we shoot galleries - awesome shots!
So please join myself and my glorious second in command, Den-O (aka Jordan), as we celebrate 500 times of sitting down for a couple of hours to do a photo shoot only to spend another couple of hours editing the pictures so they are at the quality we feel you deserve. And we wouldn't be where we are without recognizing some of our former photo staff for their contributions over the years. So here's to you - Sentai Tamashii, MoonBaseTom, Reigner, OtoyaKurenai, Brainchild, conundrum, ryan, Jmann, KamenRiderOOO, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting - thanks for helping us get to this point!
We're excited to share what we have in store for you next. Thank you for your support and for enjoying what we do!
