Recently gotten Cyke, posed him with Colossus and did a Sideshow X-men vs Sentinel set-up. I remember standing outside Simply Toys at Suntec just staring at the statue through the glass display for... i won't say hours but, for long. Then when this Cyke was introduced I couldn't wait to take a photo that mimics the Sideshow statue. Now that it's done, I felt quite happy... The actual statue below. Hell, how can you ever compare action figures to statues... Like JX says, he's ready to exchange all his action figures for the Ironman statue... haha, I'm not ready to do that but my point being they are two different levels of collectibles.
I posted the pic on SGC first, then on Fwoosh. The reaction was more than encouraging... Well until tonight at least, a fellow SGCollector posted a comment "this is not a photography forum". I know it's not directed at me, but at someone else who posted in enquiry of photography / photoshopping tips (or at me maybe)... I'm not sure about posting pics now, maybe just privately here and on my flickr. Haha... I'm also not sure about why I feel so compelled to take photos of the plastic I buy... It's my way of sharing something I like I guess. But sometimes I wonder what people think when I post photos that are editted online... 'this ass clown is such a show-off'...? I'm sure some, if not a majority, do think that. Shit I'm thinking too much. Haha, this probably shdn't even affect me so much. They're just plastic ya? Chill...

Still, something exciting ended in the dumpster -.-" When you think that something's great / going well, there are surprises in stall for you, always... so don't get over confident.

It happened today in studio as well. Last week for crit I thought I presented my issue, program and choice of site with logic well supported by evidence. The panel was quite encouraging too. Today for guest critic, however, I was put on the spot and made to think twice about the site. Which is a good thing of course, a fresh perspective. Sigh... Ups and downs, and all the small things.
