Forever Adventuring!

As the title suggest, somewhere for me to post my random action/adventuring pics, enjoy!

I can't remember his name, sorry, but he looks so good! Moreso when fighting the bad guys.
I need my own TBLeague man now. I only have ladies in my collection, but it's time! I've been holding out on a new male body, but... maybe the M33 will do.

Awesome shots! Very inspiring and I especially love that last shot. Feels very real.

No worries on his name Diana, I do have a lot of characters, this guy is Daxter . Really pleased you enjoyed the pics, they were great fun to do. The TBL guys are really nice, like you up until last year, I only had females, but after Rev spooky introduced me to the males, there has been no looking back . The M33 is a great body, very muscular and toned, Dax is on a M32, less bulk as the 33 but nicely toned. Whichever body you go for, I don't think you'll be disappointed .
Again, really pleased you enjoyed the pics, more soon!

HE IS???
I actually have one in the box that I haven't used, because the Bruce Lee body seemed very specific. I had no idea he could look like this!
I guess it's time to take him out of the packaging after all!

, yeah, I like the M32 for a soldier type body. I look forward too seeing what happens when you unbox him, and what male character you come up with . Another advantage of the M32 is most 1/6 male clothes fit them

Awesome, especially like what's happening in the background of pic #2, quite some dynamic in there, also the punch and flying in #1.

I love how Buddha is keeping his calm next to them. :p

Yeah, the M32 is more versatile than one might think. I think the promo pics focus too much on Bruce Lee and he is often posed with straight T shaped shoulders, but if you let him relax a bit, especially when you let the shoulders hang down, it becomes universally athletic.

I use is on the "Southern Warrior" for example and shaped the armor onto him and ReverndSpooky is using it for St. Crow for example wearing a biker vest, looking very lean. The Latissimus is still exploding but seems way less extreme.

Excellent photography and poses. Daxter looks great in action, and the M32 body works very well, especially fully clothed, although I still prefer the M33 in general. I just noticed (again) that M33's arms are overly long, but that this is true for other TBLeague male bodies too, though perhaps a little less apparent. The bad guys are nicely done too. The head sculpt of the guy in the white suit and Hawaiian shirt looks familiar but I can't quite place it -- what is it?

Some great action pics here

Always a treat! I made a similar comment on ElBundy’s ongoing thread, but you also have a gift for creating compelling kitbashes of figures. None of them look random to me. They all seem to be assembled with their personalities and backstories already in place.

Excellent action shots. The composition of the photos is excellent.

Thanks Ovy! At this stage Dax, is fighting to stay in that jeep! BUddha on the over hand looks less than impressed!

Many thanks Ian! I will agree the 33 is a much more muscular body and probably my fave too, but the 32 works well for soldier types like Dax . As for the head sculpt, that came with a 1940's style adventurer set. That set was out probably at least fifteen plus years ago (Yikes!)

That is so kind to say, I do try to work out my characters before I show them.

Cheers Mark! really pleased you enjoyed them!

An oldie but a goody, then, Dal. Anyway, the whole series of photos worked very nicely.

That is a very cool action sequence, Dal! Nicely done!

Thanks so much guys, really pleased you enjoyed this sequence .

A few more..,

Nice! How big is that dio? I’m assuming most of the Jeep can’t be shown as it would be “off” set. You did a great job filling in that jungle environment.

The whole dio space is just under 4ft (120cm's) by 3ft (90cm's). Yeah, most of the jeep disappears from the side of the dio, but if your creative, you can make most things work .

Great action scene!

More great pictures! Thanks for sharing.

Nice new photos of Daxter, and I can never get enough of your jungle.

Excellent series!  Your diorama is awesome, your photography is excellent, and your poses are superb.  Thanks for taking the time to make and post it.  I agree with Diana, the last photo looks so real in one quick glance you could easily mistake it for an actual movie still.  Come to think of it, the last photo in both posts is outstanding.  

This is my first post here, so I hope I don't come across as a know it all, but did you consider having Daxter's empty holster be the one under his right armpit?  He's got his Beretta in his left hand, and he's wearing a double gun rig, so the most natural way to draw from a shoulder holster would be cross-draw.  Drawing from a reversed holster on the same side has certainly been done, it was named the "cavalry draw" because mounted soldiers carried their revolvers on the right so they could use their saber with their strong hand, but when everyone decided to use their guns instead of swords, they just started drawing from the same side even though the gun was butt forward in the holster.  Wild Bill Hickok was famous for preferring the cavalry draw, but it really went out of style after him.  If you did it for artistic license, so the second, holstered pistol could be seen easier in the photos, then don't mind me, I'll just go back to my corner.    

And finally, I can't tell you how excited I was to see you using the SDH018 for your female in the last couple shots.  I've searched high and low for heads that I like, and the SDH018 is my favorite.  It's the only one I currently own, and when I saw it in person, I ordered the other two hairstyles/colors of the same head as the next two in my collection.  Yours is the first photo I've seen of the head being used... like ever.  Haha...on forums, youtube, Flickr, anywhere.  Sorry for nerding out, but that was very fun to see.

Arcata, if you like that SD head, you are in luck. If anything, it is overused on this forum (at least I feel that way, since I don't like it to the point of finding it difficult to comment on postings where it appears -- to each his own). If you poke around, you will find countless other instances in threads by ThePhotogsBlog and davidd, both in General Talk and Photo Stories. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip! I have a new mission.

Mine is the one on the left. And apologies to BAMcomix, I didn’t mean to derail your thread.
