Spandex Stories (marvel heroes)

They look great. Beautiful shots as always!

Omg!! I hadn't realized there was a Kingpin figure, he looks awesome facing off with Daredevil!

Thanks for the kind comments friends!

My first edits of the Black Cat that just joined my marvel heroes shelf! Hope you'll like!

Those are awesome, especially the first one.... very clever!

Man, I love these so much. You really nail the look of both original pieces. Beautiful!

Stunning as it is, there is a typo... she cannot be LE chat noir... N'est-ce pas?

indeed c'est exact mon ami!

While words have no gender in english it's true that speaking of a female character (or even just a female cat), it would translate in french as "LA CHATTE NOIRE"...
This said the typo is intended on that specific one, J. Scott Campbell used an old parisian poster that is now quite famous, it was advertising a cabaret named Le Chat Noir located in Montmartre (that was around 1880-1890)

I'm sure most of you have seen this poster once or twice.

Yes, that was the poster I THOUGHT you were referencing, as I had not been aware of the comic book version of it, only the above original. :')

Mais oui... that's the one I was thinking of, too. And there is now apparently a fad to produce plates and knick knacks with misspelled French text in this country.

Wooooow. I really enjoy your photos. Thank you!!
I have a special place in my heart for DD and everyone in that setting (JJ, Punisher, Elektra...).
That DD and Punisher fight scene is epic. Great job!!

And that JJ outfit is great!! I have the jacket, but where's that tank top and scarf from??

AAAaaaaaah! I knew you'd be familiar with that old poster, and yeah now it's on ton of goodies to relate to Paris, cook laprons, mugs, plates... mostly food props, but in France c'est la vie! (@Gubernator where do you see more mispelled french text? cause I don't think there are typos on the original poster)

Thank you 3000 for the kind feedback!

My JJ outfit is made from old pieces mainly lol, the leather jacket comes from the old "rosanna" biker girl, the tank top comes from a "very cool" clothing set that included suede boots, blue jeans and tank tops.

As for the scarf, it actually comes from a pair of socks of my girlfriend lmao

I hope Martha is not missing her socks!
I didn't mean the poster itself, but I'm eating off plates that read "Deux Renard" (sic), "Le Fleur" (sic), "mat ere grasse" (sic), and so on...

Damn I didn't know that! I haven't seen the ones you refer too, but I confess it happens quite often on posters or ads, even magazines, French is surely a complicated language but still (sic)!

quick update, the Netflix/marvel Defenders I could finally assemble!

Great figures and gorgeous photoshots and special effects, as usual!

OOOh, wow, beautifully done! But where is my dear Frank?

ETA: they are all gorgeous, but Jessica Jones looks so good. I rarely see such a nice depiction of her in 1/6!

Excellent shots. Always a pleasure to see your photos.

Great job again, I like what they did with those 'personal color palettes' for the characters and how you captured that and the intro vibe with the NY maps.

Although I watched it, I don't know...they blew up a house full of ninjas or something? Anyway, what I liked about it was the self irony acknowledging that Iron Fist wasn't the strongest of the shows.

Very creative lighting and graphics! I'm done with the others, have yet to watch Iron Fist.
Did you photoshop Iron Fist's right wrist joint away?

Attaboy. Absolutely gorgeous.

Love the Matt Murdock especially.

Dadrab you're back! Glad to see you on, and don't be a stranger!

Rollo, nice catch; I suppose the left wrist wasn't as obvious in the photo so didn't need to be photoshopped as much... But either way, blackpool is a master at these.

Thanks a lot my friend! I was lazy on the photoshop part on these, the colored light and everything was working fine on the original shots, I just added the Manhattan map over the pics and erased some annoying parts

Many thanks for the kind words, glad you noticed the effort on Jessica, it took me nearly an hour to get her hair waving nicely and looking close to Krysten Ritter.
I passed on Frank, I have his head in my stock but wanted to focus on the Defenders, he will show up again soon, surely with black widow or somebody sharing his mandalorian religion lol

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what inspired me, the opening credits on the defenders was one of the best parts of the show lol

Thanks! as said by Gubernator (even if I ain't master at it lol) yup I edited a couple joints on those shots that were annoying me, the wrist of iron fist in the foreground was very very noticeable, and Luke Cage's head seam was obvious as well, not helping for portraits (the overall quality of luke cage is quite low btw)

Thank you Dadrab! Nice to see you around!

Here is a new shot I finally took with the unofficial Stan Lee (and some unofficial folks all around him lol)



Have a great week everyone!

Nice tribute photo for Stan the Man. I like the mix of Official and Unofficial figures.

Too Cool.

Awww that's so lovely, blackpool!

And lol, no worries about Frankie boy, I'm just being a Jon Bernthal fangirl... feel free to ignore me. ;p

Nice group shot. Pretty soon they won't need to pay any actors, just you for use of your figures in special-effect movies.

So many fantastic new Characters, love them. It´s not only Your fine clear Style of Photography, the posing of each figure is absolute natural. The black Cat is really hot

From the marvel universe master it's an honor! Thanks bro!

haha I'm a fan of Bernthal as well, his acting is a bit recurring but I just love it, I found him perfect in mr Wolff and Fury, even when he has small roles he nails them like in Sicario, Windriver... Anyway, he'll be back as soon as I receive my elektra!

I wish so, it would save me some free time for the hobby lmao!

Thanks a lot Eph! Indeed the black cat is in my new favorites, but simply because of the phicen body she's built on, it's really night and day in terms of posing, balance, realism...

Quick update, power to the ladies lately, since they revealed the Black Widow trailer, I wanted to take her out of her box (even if the trailer wasn't very exciting to my eyes)





Have a wonderful Christmas everyon, and may Santa bring you loads of cool figures!

Those are some really cool shots of BW. I hope the movie is better than the trailers are making it look.
