Thank you!!!

I got into photos some years back with modern era Joes, 4" 25th and beyond all the way up to today.

It’s highly addictive for me!

I really said I need to sub to this guy when you mentioned other toy reviews “BEGINNING & END their relationship with a figure with the TOY REVIEW!” I get that same feeling. It’s hard for me to believe they even enjoy the action figure at all. It’s like the toy review is all and they move on.

I really appreciate you saying that - they review it and onto the shelf it goes to sit. I pull these guys and gals out over and over… well, some of them! Thanks so much for your subscription and I hope to hear from you again soon!

In the photo you did with Zarana and Cover Girl, where did you get that cool blaster she is holding?

[@completecarnage]

Thank you! That’s actually Cover Girl’s pistol Zarana is holding!

cool video bro yeah, I m like that too, only I don t post pics anymore as I was hacked on my facebook page, I d really need a friend for technical issues if I did a channel now ahhh, I love Slaughter with the kid, excellent bro! that s what I m talking about, a more realistic universe, not just action figs! it s more like a movie or cartoon, evolution over what we had in the 80s and... I m having waaaaay more fun to display them now on my dios my system most of my figs stay in their boxes, forget the dusting, it s a hassle! they re displayed on top of my pantry green led lighted hall of fame style I rotate figs - action on my dios about 1 x week to keep it fresh as deco art nouveau forget about multi coloured fully packed shelves filled with figs! that does nt look good enough for me and... I like to have guests, and my apart is very small, it s easy to turn it into a flee market stand looking place, and it makes me look awkward! I see many videos where I really would nt want to live as the guy that did it many live in dumps filled with toys, imagine a woman getting in there... they ll stay about 5 mins before they run away! my hobby should nt mess my image and sentimental life, I won t be a prisoner of my passion both can coexist if it s done pro and maturely. also, I m an artist, I build and design them completely, I m more invested and often go for funny scenes it s more respected and respectable, it s not only figs, it s scenes and deco I mix with real plants, they re lighted, and I go for pro details and finish. and, I m a pro in poses, since 82, got the passion since my first AT 12' Joe in... 74? I go to great lengths to do the most difficult poses possible, often pushing figs against the other to counter balance their weights until it stays put ex ; venom monster holds the ram on a wheelie by the front of the engine... it was difficult to have the ram in perfect balance, but it looks just fab now! ha, ha! but it s soooo satisfying to look at now. 3.12 I love that you added a woman scientist here, beautiful and creative! I m looking forward to get legends s egghead to assist mindbender too, D also, I plan to use the many 'build a fig' parts in transparent containers for his lab one day, lol. like you, my main universe is Joes, whatever I buy, it gets converted into that use there s no troops of villains in the Indy line, but I have Cobra, aim, and Hydra to fill the part, ah, and Indy dates Elsa, she survived the fall into an underground river and was found on a shore nearby, D hey! I pay, I decide on what s most fun, so I called it, ha, ha. yeah, well, I like your work and passion, cool scenes, nice ambience - atmosphere, and you re creative enough only, it d be an improvement to do bigger takes sometimes, you mostly just focus on figs, and we see very little about the whole scene, that s too bad, as they re very detailed and convincing, really worth a better look at them! you do nice work, are mature [I m 55] and I can certainly appreciate that, I consider to sub seriously, I ll check more. so now you know... good show bro

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and informative comments. It’s really interesting to dig a little deeper and find out more about others processes and thoughts. We’re on the same page, focusing on our Joes with other lines serving to embellish what we do with the Joes. I’m 51 and semi-retired so this becomes more of my daily routine as time goes by and it’s the best way for me to unplug. I’m also a musician, so this is a real departure for me getting behind a camera but it’s something I enjoy just as much if not more than playing guitar. I’m excited for that MMS! Ferrets too!
