Hollywood Boulevard (US movie icons)

This is fantastic. It was like looking at film stills. Excellent job.

Did you ever find those pics?

Oh Man, the toilet scene ! That´s so well made, all the details of the bathroom and all the Figures, not only the heros itself. Again Your poses bring it to life

I love that movie and you executed the rain effects perfectly. I bet you could pull off really awesome Mr. Glass and The Beast customs to accompany him.

And hey, you'd probably only need to purchase a young bald Professor X then just use his wheelchair for Elijah's character. lol

Many thanks for the kind feedback, it really means a lot! I loved unbreakable so much I had to make David Dunn, he was one of my first custom figures, surely the easiest but still among my favs! I plan on doing the beast, waiting on a parted out Charles Xavier's headsculpt... I won't go for the Glass character, I loved him in unbreakable but I quite disliked the last chapter, and this is one complicated custom to assemble, mainly his outfit.

Thanks my friend, that is very kind of you! Happy to keep you amused, that's the main goal!

skywalkersaga wrote:OMG, this is hilarious and SO well posed, staged, and photographed! You are amazing at recreating scenes. Adore all the little details -- the picture on the wall, the cupboard under the sink, the little bar of soap. I can only imagine the amount of time and work that went into this!

And how did you do the seamless effect on his knees? Is that some clever photoshopping? ;D

Thank you so much for the continuous support miss, it means a lot! My main challenges here were the sink and cupboard, and the toothpaste and toothbrush even if they are nearly unseen on the final shots lmao

And yep I edited the knees on photoshop, the joints were so obvious

I was wondering about that myself. Blackpool is the God of photoshop, by the way!

Naaaah, I just work on it everyday, it's been over 15 years that I use photoshop, but I still learn new tricks and functionalities all the time, so many ways to get to the same result with this software the options are endless, not sure anyone will master it one day lol

Excellent Starsky & Hutch. Very cool.

Oh yes, they are instantly recognizable. Beautifully done, as always!

Damned cool. I find myself quite envious.

Well done posing and photos make for a nice package. Thanks for showing us.

A nice pair I grabbed recently from a french collector friend, Marty (1985 version) and Doc Brown! as Neca is soon releasing a full line of back to the future figures, he's dropping his only 1/6 figures to come back to his favorite scale, luckily for me!

Of course first thing I did was dismantling them totally to see the underlying bodies which are both very interesting and have a lot of potential tho Marty super skinny body is hard to dress up...

Starting with my favorite part of the trilogy, the 1885 era! Hope you'll like!






EDIT: Problem fixed using the local image host servimg :p

Nooo ! Come on Mistel Pool give the pics to us

Looking forward to the fix. And welcome back, I hope you're doing well.

It's fixed friends! Thanks for the kind words n patience!

Great Pictures ! Love the old times when i saw that movies in the cinema. Macfly, the irish bug alias Clint Eastwood

Very nice additions to your collection, and already put to such good use!

Excellent BTTF pics. Those are great, as usual. Glad to finally be able to see them. Nice job.

The Back to the Future shots are incredible!!! Seriously man, so perfect. Love these so freakin much!

Thanks gents!

A bit of a special update, I think that's my favorite figure ever, I'm amazed every single minute with the quality of the crafting and likeness, even more on a figure from 2012 or so...

Anyway, meet Captain Jack Sparrow, slightly modified, I took off one of his belts to make him screen acurate to the first movies (the figure is based on the latest "dead men tell no tales" sequel)

Hope you'll like!

Beautifully done. You definitely captured the slightly crazed look and posturing of the character perfectly.

blackpool: Your jack figures looks almost real. Great figure and pictures.

That is really excellent. Some awesome shots. Really dig the smiling sculpt pics. Very cool.

Beautifully captured! Always in awe of your photos!

wow...i thought the first picture this page, you were posting a poster of the movie to be compared to your own...oh, where is yours? what? there is no poster?? 

You are making it harder and harder for the rest of us (at least me) to post any new pictures...!

That figure really seems to have raised the bar - 2012, nice!

Excellent as always Monsieur.

Thanks a lot Gub! It took me a few rewatches of the movies to get it correct, but the figure is so outstanding and easy to pose it was a pleasure

Thank you 3000 AFM, I gotta agree it's straight among my very favorites, I rarely had such a good moment unboxing a figure (even more an old one from 8-10 years ago)

Thanks a lot Mark, I'm with you on the smiling headsculpt which is the best of the two, it captures mr Depp's funky wonky weirdness so well lol

hahahaha thanks for the very cool feedback, glad it works even better than intended! It's not very hard with that figure, hot toys really knocked it out of the par in terms of quality and likeness... While I like to do photo edition I also love browsing pictures of figures I don't have, without or with effects, directly on the shelf or on the workbench for modification, I'm always curious and enthusiastic! So please keep posting pictures!

Merci beaucoup Sir! Indeed HT made a crazy work compared to some of their most recent releases this Jack Sparrow doesn't suffer too much the comparison. I wish they redid the other characters tho, these are from an even older generation and the quality was way inferior back then

Btw just to make you guys laugh (and ladies) I finally put my hands on a eddie murphy headsculpt so I could achieve my Beverly hills cop figure!!! I went with the second movie version that stayed more iconic with the Detroit Lions jacket.

Hope you'll like!

Aww man! That is awesome, Alex. So cool to see Axel getting some love. Nice photos.

I agree, excellent work, and excellent presentation, as usual!

Thanks a lot mates!

OMG ! A eddie murphy figure, the heros of our 80ies. I try to check all the releases of new figures, but sometimes one fly deep under my radar. Many thanks for showing ! You pose all You figures like in the movie scenes. Btw.... The gesture he use in the last picture means " all OK " in the diver scene. In traffic in the big citys that mean (censored)

I think I mentioned on instagram, but man, I can't look at the Beverly Hills Cop figure and not smile. Too perfect. As soon as I see him, it just takes me back. And those photos are so perfect. You always completely nail the feel of the movie the figure's from. Incredible!
