I'm declaring 2011 to be the "Year of Sofubi" in my collection. 2012 and onward will probably continue to be the years of Sofubi as well. December 2010: December 2011 (Please forgive the phone photos. I'll take real ones soon!):
Re: 2011: The Year of Sofubi You've got a nice collection going there TC. Not too overwhelming in terms of quantity, but outstanding in terms of quality.
Re: 2011: The Year of Sofubi i wish i had a few killers. they are perfect for filling in those gaps at the front of a detoif shelf, and are beautiful while they are doing it. that camo zag is brilliant! loving the hell out of it! is that an official gargamel paint job, or a knockoff? i am hoping it is a knockoff. because i love knockoffs. your display setup is sporadic, and that is awesome. the way you have everything set up, it makes these detoif shelves look bigger than they really are. i love your color choices in toys! i too am a bright figure fan. ...whats on the 4th shelf? overall: beautiful, clean, focused collection! except for cannibal fuckface. that shit isn't clean. he's one dirty futhermucker!
Re: 2011: The Year of Sofubi This Zag is the Mishka color-way release. Sold through Mishka and Thrash Out. HP by Kiyoka
Re: 2011: The Year of Sofubi Zag's are admittedly hit or miss w/ me. But I found that one quite striking in regards to color and application.
Re: 2011: The Year of Sofubi sorry. i just remember some folks making a big stink about some customizer doing "knockoff/bootleg" camo paint jobs on zags. was hoping this was one of those. either way, its still super awesome! love those colors!
Re: 2011: The Year of Sofubi Nice Zagoran. I'm still looking for this Mishka Zagoran. Angel Abby-LING
Re: 2011: The Year of Sofubi One popped up on the store randomly, and then quickly sold. Keep your eyes peeled.
Built my first DIY lightbox last week, and I played with it some tonight. Boom! Bwana Spoons Custom Marty #1 by James Likeness, on Flickr
It makes for sharp pictures but lightbox pictures completely lack personality imho. Nice for databases though.
i'm with oli on this one... great for archiving, but i much prefer to see toys shot in settings. do you do a lot of edge refinement on these, then blank white the background in photoshop? (i tend to keep the natural gradient of the sweep in my light box shots... it just comes down to preference, eh?)
