Your right, one can't have to many toys. I would have to say this picture is the next best thing to having one for now. All of a sudden I've started obsessing over King Ghidorahs. I bought a little Bullmark gold ring toss prize one and now their all I can think about.
Well, definately do not get the medium one COOP pictured above. That split tail will rule your whole world.
The two GMK Godzillas and the lottery Gaira are pretty much my top three grail pieces. Of ALL toys. Amazing collection, Mike, but I'm really not surprised at all.
Really humbling to see the heavyweights....and we're only skimming the surface! Here's a little pic of mine Da da da (I mean the Trio version)
For a long time now, since skimming your toy pics, I've told myself I need to get off my ass and rig a background or photo-box. Now I'm telling myself I need to do that, AND be sure to remember transparent colored sheets to rig in front of the lights. The "gel" covers you use all the time make such a great effect.
I'm shooting with a white seamless over a table, and three strobes - one above on a boom with a soft box, and one on each side with a 40% grid and a purple or yellow gel. If you don't have strobes and all that crap, just use regular lights, and shoot with a tripod for the longer exposure. That's how i did most of my early toy shots.
Awesome I'm so glad that was brought up, your pics always look great. I knew it was all about the lighting. I built a box to shoot my toys in like this one but I need to build a newer more sturdy version. http://www.instructables.com/id/Photography-Light-Box/
lots of amazing photos here. Last thing I need is to start drooling over another company I have safely ignored! I don't really care either way, but shouldn't this whole thread be in Show Your Collection?
Finally an afternoon off and I'm not watching a 9 hour Lost marathon. Here is my M1 collection. My favorite company. There are a few I'm still really looking for like the Rainbow GID Angilas, some Matango, Rainbow GID Lottery Gezora, but for the most part I nabbed almost all of my most wanted:
Great collection Chris! I love the gang look of the crew there ready to pounce and pound ya for looking sideways at em
Love that Koji Gorgos! Also, it looks like that Gamera is trying to hump that purple Gaira in the last few pics!
Hahaha yeah I just noticed that. I hosed him off and threw him back on his own shelf! Thanks abe & Sanjeev. Funny thing is I haven't bought any toys in awhile and now that I posted new pics on my flickr my g/f is going ballistic thinking these are all new. I just had to tell her to chill the eff out.
