Because he's Dutch.

I wanted to take a photo of MP Ironhide and Generations Chromia together but they are way out of scale lol. Anyone have any tips on how to do forced perspective?

There's a guy in New Zealand you should ask, goes by the name Peter Jackson.

Seriously the forced perspective behind the scenes stuff on Lord of the Rings is where I'd start.

smaller one closer, larger one further away, large depth of field to ensure both stay in focus.

that's the concept, I'm not sure exactly how to execute.

[pleaseexplain101]

what others have mention above where the larger one is much further back, also take the pic from a lower angle

Also set up an "infinite horizon" background. (Is that what they are called?)
ie put up a piece of paper on the wall spreading down to the table (or whatever yo've put the toys on) so it'll look like there's no horizon behind them.

Great! Now let's get this thread back on track by venting folks!

I've got nothing...

[Megatran]

I want one.
I want it so badly.
I can put it in my shopping basket but can't checkout.
Now can't even open page. Site crashes. Says error page.
It's not fair. I've waited long long time for one.
Urgh. So close yet so far.
