Great job on the images, man. You have a fantastic touch.

[Geek-Viper]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Here's another one I got done. Dee-Jay took all night Sunday to finish. Why are there so many guys wearing white or grey? lol.

Very nice! White on white background is so hard to pull off. It is such a challenge. And black backgrounds pick up the light source and shine them back, so they are not an option!

[Geek-Viper]

Yeah, Avalanche, Maverick and Jetfire(from the SDCC set) are probably going to be the last things I do, lol.

Anyway, here's some easy ones

Got a couple more done for the weekend. Would've got more but my mother-in-law wanted a picture of us to Photoshop into a group photo they took with the other kids. So I had to waste time white-balancing and stuff. Anyhow, here's the link for Blaster:

And you can get to Blocker by clicking on this extra picture I had. I decided to use a different angle.

Got another one done tonight. I present to you my favorite from the original line and coincidentally my favorite from this set...

Renwick!!!

I hate his 18" long neck, but your pics are on point!

[Geek-Viper]

It's not so bad with the vest on, lol. But thanks man!

I was able to knockout Knockdown tonight. Here's a fun fact, Knockdown and Back-Stop are the only guys this year that don't have their full name as part of their code name. Or in other words, their file card doesn't have their code names in quotes.

Ok, it really wasn't that fun of a fact, lol. Here's the stupid link.

Great posing, man! Especially in this shot.

Man, licensing sucks the fun out of toys. If you call a figure Rock n Roll 30 years ago, you shouldn't have to use it in quotes if you make another version (or call him Bench Press).

[Geek-Viper]

Thanks again man! Some of these shots really do take a while to setup. Sometimes I'll spend 20 minutes tightening and moving the camera on the tripod just to get the right angle. I was really aiming to be able to take all those shots and line them up like on the box cover. If I can remember I'll do it at the end of getting them all online. Another thing that takes time is like today when I was done with most of the pics from SDCC (Jetfire can just bite me, lol). As I was renaming them all I realized I was having so much fun posing Action Man that apparently I forgot to do the turn-arounds, lol. I also at that time realized that I didn't take the title/burst shots for any of the figures not in the box set. But I'm going to blame it on the fact that my camera battery was almost dead

Anyway, here's a sample shot of the Action Man series. The set goes on sale Monday at http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-c2984as00 If you've got the $100 I recommend it. This guy is awesome:
