Yeah plus you should try using Photoshop or an image editing program, if the colors are off in your photo you can adjust it a great deal and once you know what you're doing you'll see a huge quality difference. All professional commercial photography is post processed through software like that.

AndAdobe is offering Photoshop CS2 for free on their website now:

http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html

It's not the most recent version but it still has a ton of good features.

Oh I cannot wait to someday have more than just these guys to pose and show off....

Space is awesome!

And not to be outshined by his more modern comrade:

Actually, what I've heard is that they've clarified that offering to NOT be for normal people. It's supposedly only for people who have purchased CS2, but they're taking the activation servers down, so to activate it you have to use a special license. it's not meant to be a way for people to get it for free. That's what I heard, anyway.

I just use GIMP because Im cheap :lol

I have gimp, but I don't know how to use it for anything really, so I don't.

Got in a few new things today:

Elek States Fourze:

He is pretty cool, but the Elek switch cannot stay locked in his belt for anything. In fact, it kind of just sits on it as the plastic does not want to even go into the belt.

Fourze Module Sets 3 and 4:

http://archivaria.com/DrKain/Figuart...e/Fourze38.JPG

Again, they are pretty cool. My goal is to one day find a way to neatly display all of the modules with my Fourze items.

More pics can be seen here:

Technically you're only supposed to download this version if you have the license(by buying the software years ago) but the way they went about it makes it free to everyone to download. The serial numbers for the downloads are next to the links. They never seemingly went about fixing that so it's still effectively free. Anyone with the proper OS can download it and use it. And some people have read the licensing agreement and all it requires is that you acquire it from Adobe...which since they're hosting it on the site you are.

FINALLY!!! Thank you henshintension!

I have a few lamps. I have it set up for my Point and Shoot SX150. I just need more experience with my new camera.

I'll see what I can do in the next week or so. Will absolutely post more pics!

As always, any feedback is appreciated!

oh...and for Den-O...

Is Genocider on the way?

oh yessssss....just waiting for bbts...can NOT wait to review him...may make it to a split 4 way review...

Oh man bbts?! $230 sounds like a lot. How much was the tamashii web release? I was looking at the photo gallery yesterday. I want one really bad, hahaha.

It was only like 11,000 yen through Tamashii. I'm happy to have gotten him at that price :D

Man, I can't bring myself to get that bike. Something about the Machine Tornader just didn't translate to SIC well for me.

You're missing out, that thing is absolutely gorgeous in person.

Make a wish on a star....

My ranks have grown by one today.

That is an excellent figure!

I'll eventually get the Zodiarts and the Dopants, but right now, I need to work on getting the rest of the riders before I start hunting down the villains.

I still need:

Black Rx
Gills
Tiger
Zolda
555
Kaixa
Kabuto
Gatack
ZaBee
Punch Hopper
Kick Hopper
Sasword
Drake
Emperor Kiva
IXA
Dark Kiva
Decade
Diend
W (waiting on Cyclone/Joker reissue to come to BBTS)
Accel
Birth
Meteor

She certainly an awesome figure indeed! :D

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...y/DSC08824.jpg

She likes to hug people! XD

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...y/DSC08834.jpg

Or face her wrath! DX

Oh remember the post on Hacchaka's review of Kamen Rider Super-1 not so long ago?

Well, before I was sorting my luggage out for tomorrow morning's flight to the UK, Super-1 had arrived at my place and he's pretty cool. ;) But he hadn't come alone. :p

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps65ac0980.jpg

^excellent pics

Haven't gotten the hang of getting her to balance right for one-legged stances yet, and it's a damn shame we can't quite get her scorpion stance, but I digress.

And ya know, FoC Screamer looks pretty damn nice there.

Makes no difference who you are...

Dang! That's a lot of Figuarts!

Here's my list of Riders:

OOO TaToBa and LaToraTah
Double CycloneJoker and FangJoker
Ryuki
Knight
555
Agito Ground
Kuuga Mighty
Kiva Emperor
IXA
Den-O Sword and Climax
Zeronos
New Den-O Strike Form
Ichigo
Wizard Flame Style
Kabuto
Decade

Wow...you just made me realize how long my list is...

Wow, FoC Starscream is odd looking. I still think the overall idea of having everything be the same continuity is going to bite Hasbro hard on the ass.

But Scorpio is looking sweet in those pics! Pity the legs don't seem to be articulated, otherwise I'd pick this this up up in a heartbeat.

oh those legs are articulated, i need to find one....

Super-1's out? I know what Figuart I'm getting next...

still selling mine, scorpio and libra

its the AND that gets me XD

lol

Yeah, but I'm not even including any of the additional OOO and W forms. And I still need Rocket States, Cosmic States, and that new one to complete my Fourze forms.

Anyway, I'm really tempted to get the Taboo Dopant from Mandrake, as every time I go on there I keep adding her (and Juuzo) in my cart, but I keep finding reasons to not go ahead with the purchase.

If I had the money I'd be all over Libra. But it's just not gonna be an option for me, otherwise I'd have picked him up when I got Scorpion (probably instead of her).

Her legs are about as articulated as any other figuart, a little restricted by the armor, but they pose fine. It's just when she has her cloak on that she turns into a brick.

Cosmic States

Thought of this after I fixed SIC TaToBa's arm. Used a fair amount of hot glue. (>_<) As a result, the bicep/shoulder swivel is now gone. He's going up on my sales thread at a reduced price as soon as I get in my replacement from HenshinTension.

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...44012149_n.jpg

Count the OOO, 1, 2, and 3.... and 4. :P

which bicep? and how much you talking?

Somebody needs to sell me SHF Gai and Genocider, I can't find them on Mandarake. :(
(this is brought on my pictures from two pages ago)

OOO's left arm. The forearm is a bit loose also, but it was like that out of the box. $30 plus shipping.

Yeah...I'm not sure if I should get Comic or not. I want to get every Heisei rider and their ultimate forms, but there's the thing of Agito...

How is Cosmic States?

ooooooh....... hit me up when you're gonna sell it

Will do.
