Vintage outdoors....

Tue May 21, 2013 10:41 am

Not trying to clutter or start redundant threads, but lets be honest with the vintage forum oasis here: Not many vintage people wander far from it. I could post these in the regular outdoor thread but most of you would never see them. Now probably not many vintage guys take their priceless toys out for a day in the park, but I'm so fucking happy school is out I brought some friends to the park with me. I'm a little rusty taking outdoor shots so bear with me, they'll get better!

Anyhow post your outdoor vintage shots:

Cool idea Lixx, and excellent photos - you are being far too critical. I don't know that I have any saved outdoor pics with vintage stuff, but I will definitely aim to take some more now. And I know I have seen several other great pic from people on this board that will fit here. :wink:

Vintage grails exposed to the elements, rather than being kept inside museum display cases and never touched = banned.

Hey, I'm just doing what they were meant for! ;)

(The playing part...not the adult nerd taking photographs of toys he could never have as a child in a misguided attempt to recover his childhood...part.)

Thats a great Daimajin shot sanjeev.

Heres a few I took recently. Natural light just makes colors look so much brighter.

Man I love the face on that komori otoko. Hopefully one day I can find one. Great shots!

Thanks. I keep thinking I want to get a shot of him in the shadows since he's a bat but I'm a shy public toy photographer and living in the city in an apartment does not help (no yard). Probably be a hard shot. I also had a great idea for a pic of the Giant Ultraseven walking (posed) with the sun and sky in the background, but whipping out a 15 inch toy in public for photographing is a hard sell in my mind.

Great figures and really nice photos Lixx. I am loving the way these look in the outdoors. I will have to take some of my own toys on a walk to the park one of these days. You are right though, it is certainly easier with minis!

Yeah shamefully I never knew who Casshern was till I spied one of Jim's (vintagevinyl) photos. Once I saw him though I had to find myself an assortment of sizes. Reminds me of a cross btw Gatchaman and somebody else. Pretty cheap as far as heroes go. I like the classic raised hands pose of this boot, great for photos...

This Iron King reminds me of Mr. Bill for some reason :)

Christ on a tricycle that one hot vintage piece of vinyl Sanjeev! Super jealous. Glad to see he got some nice outdoor lighting to show off all the beauty.
