Headshots, bits, and other close-ups

With so many great photographers here (me not being one of them) we really need a thread dedicated to the detail on vintage vinyl. Karate-chops, high-noon stares, toothy growls, ass-kickin' boots, slimy scales - let's see that elegance and artistry of toy design.

My old point-and-shoot is utter rubbish for macro shots, but I'll get it started.

Snazzy belt.

i don't know about you guys, but for me, the just-sloppy-enough paint combined with flecks of pocked colors from other toys and edge wear on these vintage fellows warms the heart.

Fantastic shot Jordan, I love that Gudon, he has such a great expression. Here is one of my Mephilas from the same line.

Here's hoping that this thread gets a dozen posts a day!

Is that come kind of 'filtering' or what is going on on her lady-chest? I actually like the speckled look of it, even if it is weird vinyl aging/damage.

^^Damn, that Raideen mug is hot! Rowr!

The blue is a fleck that runs throughout the vinyl itself. In hand she appears to be a pleasing pale blue, not that you could ever convince my fool camera of that!

Even more pleasant then, with an overall blue tinge. Dang you and your hidden treasures. You need to go on more attic expeditions!

What a beauty! Looks like he had a delicious kelp breakfast.

Goji is feeling pretty hungry too. Rowr! Feed me tasty bits

Rawwrr! Paint rubs!

you mean i have to take my toys down and photograph them, then rearrange them again???

okay okay, you convinced me. i know what ill be doing tomorrow.

Two fantastic shots, one I have and another I so desperately wish I could own.

Is that the Chokinzoku, Wayne? It sure looks like it, but he shouldn't be shoulder to shoulder with a Jumbo Mazinger!

He is standing on a riser. I wish he was the same size!

Hell yeah we need a jumbo T-28 though! I've got a soul for sale, any takers?

HA!

Yeah, certainly nothing wrong with the Jumbo, of course...but there's just something about the chrome and glossy paint on the Chokinzoku that make it so much more glorious, in my opinion.

Looks like he needs to use a mirror for that makeup
