Man you have to get at least one, they're awesome. I'll post more Hot Toys goodness just to prove it :p
At point of release they're at their cheapest obviously so you just watch sideshowtoy.com and the Hot Toys site for new releases.

Having said that though, if I was to get one, it'd be Classic Predator.

now that what i call toy photography nice use of your environment rampagess
love those Deadpool ones they are just perfect!!
Love the Streetfighter pic VP. Did you use a bit of plastic for the reflective surface?
Optics those Deadpool pics are so vivid!
Rampagesss, those pics look like he's trying to escape from your yard, like from something from Toy Story :D
I don't get as much time to visit this thread as I'd like 'cos there is some awesome stuff in here. :cool:
Some of those TF shots could make great OTCA banner material... ;)
Nice pics rampagesss and Deceptic_Optic.
Love the 'escape from rampagesss backyard' scenario for Snake and love the colour saturation on the Deadpool pics. :)
It's actually a piece of glass placed on top of a black cloth. ;)Quote:

HA, I see what you did there.
very nice, I love this thread, and I am planning on adding to it, just taking my time getting my $h1t together.
btw, fellas, I noticed your considering not continuing and waiting to see who else has a go. even though there aren't a massive number of posters, there are many many more people who come here just to bask in the quality of your work. don't stop now.
I agree with UltraMarginal, don't stop because of the lack of posts from others guys; give it time. ;):)
Here are my contributions for today:
Hey Hursti, I'm thinking of getting that upgrade set with the chrome, what are your thoughts on it?
I'd highly recommend it dude, it makes the figure look that much better. ;):)Quote:

- The materials used in the set's composition are of great quality and the chrome is excellently applied. ;):cool:
- There isn't any cause for concern when sheathing the Katana or Dagger either as they are 1.5mm to 2mm smaller in dimension so there is plenty of clearance but be wary; as the blades are constructed using stiffer/harder plastics they would easily snap if you tried to bend them the way you can with hte original ones. :o
- Inserting the weapons into his hands are far easier and safer as they slide into the hands as opposed to the originals "Go on, I dare you" approach. :eek::D
- The only real fiddly thing I found was removing the old head as you can't rotate it far enough to give a screw driver proper clearance to line-up and undo the screws, so inadvertently you'll end up burring the head of the screws a little. :o
Overall, an excellent set and I only hope that Headrobots will do more heads for more figures - I'm looking your way ROTF Mindwipe. :D
Look forward to some pics from you UM.Quote:

Wish I had photography skills like you. Even an old High Grade looks amazing in your photos.
Thanks mate. :)Quote:

Sharp pics there mate.Quote:

That Rodimus pic is soooooo clear! It's got alot of detail. I can't stop looking at it.
