DDarko Collection

ddarko · 04-24-2023, 04:25 PM

I tried to mimic the atmosphere of the Warhammer 40k 10th edition cinematic trailer in these shots

veryfigurefan · 04-24-2023, 04:50 PM

When I first saw the photos, I was going to say Warhammer. Then I read the information you gave. haha.

You certainly know the subject of atmosphere very well. Congratulations great.

Holy Moly !!!!!!!!! I saw Joy Toys Roboute Guilliman on preorder on BBTS and immidiatly ordered him, even if 14 dolars none refundable payment... He is my favorite primarch. I must have him and this means, i will also build a reasonable Ultramarines army.

I will probably get other primarchs as well, but what i am really looking forward to now is God Emperor.

I need a God Emperor and Uriel Ventris. I hope they can make the God Emperor's price reasonable. I know he is gigantic, even bigger than Primarchs... But nothing above 163 dolars get a pass from Turkish Customs. If the price will be above 163 dolars... I will be devastated.

Ohh nice! Welcome down the rabbit hole

From what I hear, they will be releasing all the primarchs. On the Emperor, it will be interesting given that he is pretty much like a skeleton at this point on the throne. But, from what I hear about the lore, we will likely see his return at some point with the primarchs coming back one by one in the lore as well.

But yea, the Primarchs are expensive though, but given the size, makes sense. I am still on the fence on getting Celestine pack. In a way, it feels like I should just get it and call my Adeptas Sororitas collection complete lol. But, I have a feeling that there will be Morvenn Vahl soon and maybe Ephrael, and my wallet will be crying lol.

Some more shots of Reika Shimohira 1/6 by Gecco. I was experimenting with lighting for these shots and felt pretty happy with the results

SpasticPlastic · 05-21-2023, 04:51 AM

Nice! Looks like video game stills.

veryfigurefan · 05-21-2023, 07:10 AM

The photos look great. Your experiments are very successful. In this way, we see the details of the figure. wonderful.

By the way, I added the photo of the robot I mentioned earlier to my page. You can see it among the photos I shared earlier.

That Gecco product looks amazing. I got a Guts from Berserk PVC Statue from Gecco and it is great. Is this Gantz character a statue as well ? It looks like a action figure, if so then Gecco started to make action figures as well. I would like to get some of Gecco figures but my country's customs are not what it used to be... There is no way anything that high quality will pass because of its high price. :/

It is indeed a PVC statue. It has a few swap out of options for the weapons. The customs fees are indeed ridiculous here as well. Has made me very selective over what I pick up.

It's been awhile since I've posted again. This time it is Figma Lancer Artoria. This is the DX version, but I was too lazy to take the horse out for photography and setup the scene for the Rhongomyniad charged up.

Dotanuki · 07-21-2023, 06:09 AM

Nice figure. Figma is the king of anime action figures, just top notch quality.

This is a case of Dotanuki don't know though... I have no idea who is this character or which anime she is from. Kind of reminds me Fate/Stay Night... But i also have zero knowladge about Fate/Stay Night. lol

You guessed right about the origins. She is indeed from Fate Grand Order (appears in the Wandering Agateram movies), and is essentially an alternate version of “Saber” you have seen in Fate/Stay Night. In this alternate version, she ended up getting the lance Rhongomyniad instead of the sword Excalibur. Since it was Excalibur that kept her from aging, this version agedregularly. But, a version of her ends up becoming the “Lion King” due to the effects of Rhongomyniad and is probably the most powerful version of her.

ddarko · 07-24-2023, 08:35 PM

I've always wanted to get some of the 1/6 soldier figures from Verycool. I finally got my first figure from them, Mobile Task Force MTF Alpha-9. I was really happy with the face-sculpt and the articulation. However, the figure does not come with a manual. So there are like 50 pieces that I have to figure out where and how to attach them. That realism is headache inducing, but the figure impressed me enough for me to overlook that fault. Will have to slowly figure it out with time or someone else's youtube video showing how to do it

Anyway, here are some shots of her far from complete form. I only managed to attach the combat vest, belt and gun parts so far.... oh and the head gear and radio lol.

Cyclopswc · 07-25-2023, 07:12 AM

Those 1/6 figures can get really realistic, and tedious to put together. But they also look great...and expensive! You got a nice one, with great photography as always!

Thanks Cyclopswc

! I got some guides from another forum, so will have to spend sometime trying to put it together. In a way, that is kind of interesting too I suppose haha.

Lancer looks so cool. Thanks to you, I learn a lot of figures from the anime world because I have no knowledge.

1/6 Figure, on the other hand, has truly magnificent details. It can take time to put the pieces together as it comes with a lot of equipment. I totally understand what you mean, but I think this is the funniest part.

I find 1/6 such soldier figures very successful.

Cyclopswc your are right very expensive.

Congrats on the great additions.

Thank you veryfigure.

I am yet to fully assemble some of her parts for the 1/6. Hope to do another photo shoot when all is done. I feel like I am doing surgery with the tweezers lol.

Skoob · 08-19-2023, 04:33 PM

Wow. Some of these shots are pretty amazing!

A couple of shots I took over the weekend.

First is the Marvel Legends Black Widow. I must say that it was an impulse buy and likely a very bad one at that given I overpaid quite a lot. Was surprised to find out that they changed their packaging to just carboard and the accessories just come in small bags. I feel like they really cheapened their product with the packaging.

Anyway, 2nd pic is Play Arts Kai A2 that I hadn't got a chance to photograph much.

veryfigurefan · 09-03-2023, 10:15 AM

Both figures look very beautiful. The Nier figure is a very detailed figure and I know it has many parts. A great figure indeed. Congratulations.
