Toypixx is all about figures, photos and fun!
On this nutty toy photography-dedicated site, I’ll be posting pics of figures from all my favorite lines, including Marvel Legends, Star Wars: The Black Series, and GI Joe: Classified. And, ya know, because any and all collectors of anything are a bit sick in the head, figures from other lines will also make it in.
On top of that, I’ll be writing about / showcasing the work of various diorama / effects artists and other members of our rockin’ action figure-shootin’ community. I mean, I’m sure not gonna be building dios or crafting effects pieces any time soon, but there are a whole lot of great members of the community that have those bases covered.
Figures
Toypixx.com uses affiliate links, so if you see action figures at the Toypixx Figure Shop you pretty much need, you’ll be able to get them. I’ll make money off those links, but you’ll be charged the same amount as you normally would. And man, there are a lotta figures to need! If you’re a little sick in the head.
Like me.
Photos
Beyond showcasing the talents of some of the best dio and effects artists in the toy community, I’ll also be writing about the extra stuff you can use to take your figure photos up a notch. Personally, I’ve picked up some simple stuff like putty, poster boards, lights, and Atmosphere Aerosol, which gives photos a hazy look. I’ve also been a graphic designer for years, so Photoshop‘s fair game in my shots.
FUN!!!
Elbert Hubbard said, “Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.” Of course, I first heard it from Bugs Bunny. And later Van Wilder.
To me, this hobby should be nothing but fun. No frustration. No throwing down because a figure has light orange laces instead of yellow, and no endless talking about figures we don’t like. Because hey, if we’re taking toys that seriously, imagine how much fun we must be at parties *gulp*
With Toypixx, I’ll be concentrating on the stuff I think’s fun about the hobby. Which is mostly figures. And photos. And I invite all of you, members of the toy community, and parents, and those of you who like to get your weirdo buddy weirdo stuff, and people who showed up because they typed something WAY wrong in Google…and Ryan Reynolds…to stop by and hang out for some good old-fashioned plastic nerd fun.
Oh, and it’s BYOB. I mean, I do okay, but I can’t afford beers for 7,000,000,000 people.
That’s all, folks. Everyone have fun, and happy snapping!
