Annalise's Random Photos

A fantastic series of pics and figures! Thanks for sharing!

So many beautiful photos. I think the very first one is my favorite.

Great photos and bashes, my favourite has to be that Zebra enthusiast with the giant mace, it looks so original. She might be a performance artist, or a psychopath, probably both.

Other honourable mentions would be the hunched over hunter creature in pic 1, gothic armor knight and the Painkiller Lady.

And I think Turtleneck Retro Fitness Lady is an interesting combo, with the smaller head the shoulders look much broader.

Thanks everyone for your comments and kind words.

I'm leaning towards psychopath. I get a strong "A Clockwork Orange" vibe from her. She looks ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence...

Just swapped a couple of alternate Milla heads onto the extinction figure to see how they looked with that outfit. Too much work to swap outfits. Those deceptively simple-looking belts took forever to get them to hang at the right length the first time, I'm not eager to do it again!

Another nice collection of figures.

Awesome! My fav is that shot of your white haired skater sword fighter... That photo makes me regret not getting her.

Ha haaa! Love the pic of the Demon Girl with the gooey gollums!

That semi-Tusken Raider looking fig lurking in the background of the first pic looks mysteriously intriguing!

overload of diverse and cool pics
which one to check out in detail first

(and thanks for the info on the head)

This thread is awesome. I love looking at all the different figures and you have a similar taste than myself - so yeah. MAybe it is even a bit too much at once, so single figures/pictures should get more time to shine 

Awesome collection

Thanks again folks for the comments.

Yeah, I hear you, on the other hand if someone doesn't like a photo all is not lost as there is an unrelated one right below it that may be more their cup of tea. And tbh, it's more time efficient for me to upload several at once. That being said, future posts will soon be more focused and will have multiple pics of fewer figures to explore them more fully.

Nice "Random"-thread, Annalise! Keep them coming!

, I agree! more, please

These are really good, and very well taken, great job!

Thanks very much for the comments and encouragement! Roger, wilco.

Part III : Valkyrie, SonjArhians and Spartans

Lets hope the grumbling attitude gets her to be a more formidable warrior.
Beautiful photos (as always).

Okay, now I'm in complete awe! Look at all those beautifully photographed fantasy figures! You have an amazing collection my friend.

Impressive collection! You seem to own a couple of different ‚twins‘. How have you stored all you figures? As we all know, enough space is a problem in our hobby.

Just fantastic, they look so cool as a group! Such a great collection

Wow! Epic assortment of fantasy warriors!

Cool collection. That’s a lot of warriors, and really well photographed. I miss the days when TBL were making more “intense/stern” sculpts instead of the “softer” ones they seem to be set on these days.

I think it will. Just look at that expression, I wouldn't want to fight her! and thanks.

Stored is the perfect word choice as I lost the battle for display space some time ago. A few top favs still have a singular place of honour on a tabletop or similar surface. A couple of dozen of my other favourites are on a tiered glass shelf unit, kind of like a detolf but without sides and with slightly larger shelves. Those rotate off pretty regularly as new figures arrive or I do a mod on an older one that I particularly like, which sort of 'wins' them a spot. The majority I'm sad to say are packed like vertical sardines in a bookcase just waiting for their chance to be removed from the crush and get worked on and/or photographed, the poor dears.

Thanks Mark. And funny you should say that, I was thinking the exact same thing when selecting which Arhian HH & Sonja Scars pics to post. You're so right. As much as I like TBL head sculpts, even the more recent ones, they do lack the ferociousness of the older faces and are less suitable for warriors. I miss it too.

Again great photography, bringing out the metal with the light and making it appear real. (Although I am not a fan of those beyond impractical armors :p)

Thanks Ovy. Unfortunately for my toy budget, I like both the impractical fantasy warriors and the more realistic Pop and Coo knights!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled random programming for this breaking news... Messengers from Hell are demanding an audience...










Check it out, the B version is pale. Just sayin'.  











TBL made them twins this time. The human ones, I mean. It's the same face sculpt, just different skin tone, hair colour & style. The skulls are more obviously twins, too.



"Yay! It's finally our turn on the bodies! I Feel Like Daaaancin' - Yeah!"







I'm going to have to wait for the girls to finish dressing before we can continue the shoot.



C-ya later!

Early Halloween? At the risk of being Captain Obvious (i.e., myself), I much prefer the regular heads.

I (personally) would have liked it if the haired skulls were a bit more realistic and used bodies with a bit more muscle definition but maybe because they're not very warrior like so it wasn't necessary.

Wow! Love your collection! You have excellent taste! I couldn't say whether I liked the Valkyries or the Barbarians or the Spartans most...

Now the Messengers are still not my thing, but holy cow those heads are as gorgeous as I suspected they would be. Especially the PALE blonde!!! That head along with the cape are worth considering the box set for! (I like the red head, too, though.)

Beautiful presentation as always.

Thanks Diana!
