I really wish Sword Form was easier to find. It's not even super expensive, it's quite cheap when it pops up. But it's so rare and goes so quickly.

That reminds me I need to see if I can fix mine. one of his eyes broke off when I moved a few months ago.

Working on making display pieces for my AC figures. My printer ran out of ink, so when I get some more, I'll print them and put them onto wooden stands or make fabric backdrops

I was surprised at that, too. It seems like it took me forever to track one down. Primarily because I didn't want to pay the ridiculous prices eBay, the only place I could find it, commanded.

I took these yesterday while I was watching Gaim. They are only lit by my TV and I thought they looked pretty cool.

I think you just need to work on size and sharpness. The images are a little larger than my screen so I can't quite take them all in at once. Other than that the sharpness seems to be a little off. Almost unusually high in the chest area on mango Baron at least.

Still fumbling around with GIMP >_<. I'll be taking more photos tomorrow and try again! :)

I don't really know what I'm doing half the time, but I think your pictures might be a bit overexposed. Are you shooting on a white background or superimposing the image over a white background?

The metadata says your using an iphone 4s so I guess you don't really have a lot of control over the settings, but i think the lack of sharpness may be due to the shallow depth of field and being focused around the chest? if you set your focus on the head, it should fix that up.

I hope you don't mind, but I tried tweaking your picture a bit. The jpeg was kind of small so there wasn't a lot of room for editing, but I dropped the exposure and contrast, and boosted the shadows, whites, and blacks. Also turned up sharpening and noise reduction a bit.

Huh. I thought they looked great. Then again, I'm not a photo guy. :)

I'm there with you...but I'll raise you a Genocider and a Magnugiga

Is this how Super-1 meets his demise?

Great shots! I haven't even seen Super-1 and I think that's BA! Reminds me of the old '66 Batman show with the narrator. :)

Thanks for the tips! And I don't mind at all that you tweaked the pic. Definitely looks better ^_^. And yes, I take pictures on a white background, with a lamp as the light.

Here's the result of me "borrowing" my sister's Sony NEX5, same set up as usual, but took a picture of Gaim in Orange Arms. What do you guys think?

This figure loves to drive me freakin nuts but I still really like him. He looks so damn impressive.

I'm actually showcasing the DQ display, but it has Kamen Riders in it, so it counts, right?

more info about it in the everything else cool stuff thread

Okay, now I want one :lol

Yeah, that's amazing! I need to go to wal-mart! Are these in the girls section?

How did you get that?

Okay that's just cool :lol

I'm glad everybody is liking the DQ. I love it, it's fantastic. Tonight I'm hoping to open the Nail Salon set. :D

Walmart, $15.

They were in the isle between the boys toys and the girls toys, I think it's the Legos/Puzzle type stuff isle? They were right at the end of the isle close to the main walking isle. And there were lots.

The boxes look like this:

this is why you should all follow me on twitter. :D

$15 is too much for my taste, but now I'm tempted to take a pic of something fighting in my g/f's Monster High school set.

I used to take pictures of my figures. They're not very good, but I liked shooting them from odd angles and focusing on different aspects of them. I'll post a few over the course of a few days.
