Well, Well.

Taking a break from taking pictures of action figures and borrowed my niece's doll. Maleficent is one of this year's blockbuster hits. I ordered this doll from the US because it was not released locally. Was hoping for a more articulated doll, but still worth my moolah. Aside from Maleficent, the line also released Aurora (picture coming soon). Another version was released including the winged Maleficent but, too pricey. This was made by Jakks Pacific toy company.

I asked a friend to customize the staff and the crow and it turned out pretty well. :)
 


 

A part? How lovely.

Well, well

I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe "The Eternian War"

Fnally decided to open my Castle Grayskull by Mattel and boy it's one huge playset. I just hoped that Mattel could have made it much taller but, it was worth my hard-earned moolah (that and I'm a huge MOTU fan). So, I have a castle, but no base. I spent an entire week just to finish the base and accepted my friends' challenge to try and submit it to Matty for MOTU Cover Contest. 

The inspiration is the great Eternian War. Where He-Man and She-Ra joined forces to defeat Skeletor and Hordak. Even the Snake Men has joined the Masters of the Universe to thwart King Hsss once and for all. 

The War Has Begun.

I wanted to highlight what's going up there so I focused on He-Man, Skeletor and the castle.

Not really a CS expert so don't mind the little fiasco on the background. Still, end of the day, happy with the shot. :)

More shots soon. :) 

Guardians of the Galaxy (Take 1)

After watching the Guardians of the Galaxy I had to get all the figures by Hasbro and create a diorama. This is just the first batch of the many upcoming toy shots of the amazing GOTG. :) 

Made a diorama of the Planet Morag where Star-Lord retrieved the Power Gem.

I am Star-Lord

Running to the Milano with the Power Gem.

One of the coolest scenes in the movie. Come and get your love :)

 The deadliest woman in the galaxy. 

Will probably take pictures of Groot and Rocket later. :)

2014 Cosplay Rumble Zone

It has been ages since I last exhibited my toys so I said yes to the organizer of the event without any hesitation and I have started making a simple base for my Masters of the Universe Classics toys. Which took me about 3 days to complete the lava base.

The event was more on Cosplay competition and the toy display was just an added attraction. 'Went to the venue at SM Cener Las Pinas, Manila at 0630 to prepare my display. Took me about 3 hours to set-up everything.

Ingress.

 

After almost 3 hours, I'm done with my set-up

I forgot how tiring it was to exhibit but it was worth it. Need to prepare for the next exhibit next month and I need to prepare 4 bases. MOTUC and DC New 52 :

Batman @ 75

I spent the entire weekend just watching Batman movies since he turned 75 in March 31. Batman is one of my favorite characters and year after year DC has managed to elevate Batman as the thinking man's super hero. Was given time also to take some Batman pictures using PlayArts Kai Dark Knight and DC Variant. Nothing fancy, just placed the figure in front of an LCD screen, placed some props and there you have it. :)

Happy 75th Birthday, Bats! :)

Power Rangers Wild Force

Good to be back after almost a month of no post. Glad to have taken pictures these past few days -- starting off with the Power Rangers Wild Force.

I just added 'dust' effect using Photoshop. For the Yellow Eagle and White Tiger, like with my other flight scenes, I attached the robot to a string then deleted afterwards using Photoshop. These images were taken outdoor.

Made it more dramatic by converting it to black and white and added a lens flare. :)
