ElBundy's Random figure pictures (updated oct 11th)

Very nice pics. I have her too, but I’m planning to use the head you’re showing off to make a Valeria (Conan) figure.

These look really good, and humorous too. Nice job!

She sure has some cool weapons! Great pics.

Ooh! So many nice photos I missed and they are all really nicely done. I almost ordered that Trish figure just for that particular head sculpt. I was on the fence for a long time. Happy she turned out even better than expected!

Very nice Trish figure! I love that weapon rack, the DMC4 Sparda sword, and those last two pictures—lots of personality!

Though, after seeing the final product, I don't regret cancelling mine. While the head sculpt is great, it doesn't look like DMC5 Trish. The sculpt is "softer" and more Barbie-like, imo.

I'm very curious to see your Valeria kitbash!

I love the Valkyrie figure of Tessa Thompson from Hot Toys. Unfortunately, Hot Toys has the stupid habit of always sticking the head adapters on. So the head sculpts don't fit on TB League or other seamless bodies without a gap between the head and neck. Therefore I had to cut out the adapter.

Lovely pics, Oliver.

She looks fantastic!! And awesome idea to match the accessories to her outfit. They make for a great presentation!

I like how it works with green accents in the interior.

Lovely indeed. Smart to remove those awful adapters. Like others have said, the accents in the room matching her lingerie is pretty cool.

Excellent photos, Oliver, and nicely composed shots and environment. I'm always annoyed by HT's neck adaptors, and especially with female figures. You did well to remove it. I found that the head is a little light for the body color but works passably well, especially with the more petite bodies.

After a long pre-order wait, I received the Lara Croft figure from SW Toys. The figure is the same as Lara from the computer game. It is a seamless figure with lots of accessories. The figure and clothing are weathered ex works. I think the figure is really well done. Below are a few photos with AI background.

That's a great-looking Lara Croft figure! I'm also equally impressed with how good and fitting those AI backgrounds look.

Maybe I should look into that instead of using a plain black backdrop for my pictures.

Nice pics. Mine is on the way from Kit — I’ll probably give her cloth boots; the lack of articulation with plastic boots is frustrating.

Great photos, they look just like this is a high-end videogame, and she works so well with these AI backgrounds.

How different various version of Lara look!
Beautiful figure, and with these AI backgrounds the pictures looks as game screenshots.

Excellent shot,s of Lara, Oliver!

I was very tempted by that figure and she looks great! Beautifully presented with those AI backgrounds. Well done!!

Yes, the plastic boots look cheap. Replacing them is a good idea. But the rest of the clothes and the equipment is quite nice.

At first i was thinking it was Rihanna
Cool kit-bash. I like the colors, green, brown. Those work well. Nice backdrop!

A few more pictures enhanced with AI. You can see that even wounds have been applied to the skin.

That’s pretty cool. I received mine, but aside from inspecting her, I haven’t done anything else. Your pictures make the figure look good, but I’m a bit disappointed how skinny she is.

More great pics to showcase the figure!

Stryker2012 wrote:but I’m a bit disappointed how skinny she is.

That is true. And she suffers from the new disease of seamless figures: nipplelessness

I see you're having lots of fun with the figure and the AI. Pretty impressive results.

Beautiful.
Not sure about skinny, doesn't she look like that in the game?
And yeah, this Chinese censorship is ridiculous.

Those photos are stellar!

Is there a tutorial somewhere for these AI backdrops? I would love to incorporate something similar into my photos.

really good pictures in which the figures always fit into the backgrounds so perfectly, as if they were real and really there

1. Photographing.
I photograph the figure in front of a monochrome background.

2. Cropping
I use the PhotoRoom app for cropping.

3. Creating the AI background
I use Freepik.com to create AI backgrounds. For a reasonable monthly subscription price, you get access to an infinite number of ready-made images and several AI engines. The Flux AI is extremely good and easy to configure. Camera settings, image formats, lighting etc. can be refined using selection fields.

4. Adding the background to the figure
Again I use PhotoRoom

5. Optional
Other postprocessing effects like filters, face editing or overlays
I use FaceApp, SnapSeed and Photoshop Elements.
