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. :-D

December 2010:

You've got a nice collection going there TC. Not too overwhelming in terms of quantity, but outstanding in terms of quality.

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!

Zag's are admittedly hit or miss w/ me. But I found that one quite striking in regards to color and application.

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!

One popped up on the store randomly, and then quickly sold. Keep your eyes peeled.

Agreed. It's one of the best diy light boxes I've seen.

It makes for sharp pictures but lightbox pictures completely lack personality imho. Nice for databases though.

Post Re: TiredChildren's Toys
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?)
