I got the Muppets kitchen playset and it's awesome. Expensive but awesome.

I have that whole Muppet line, it's the pride of my collection haha. I used the kitchen for the Toyark battle photo contest actually!

At the time Palisades went bust I just had started with my very first (Stargate) action figures and wouldn't have looked at anything else.

So is that you?

Love your picture! How awesome!
Oh, I didn't know we had a contest! I have not seen that yet. Can you please point me into the right direction, I would love to look at more cool pictures. Now that Photobucket is back displaying old stuff they should be visible (although I realized when I went back to the beginning of this thread when I gave the link to someone that there still are some with the "Third party" which is odd when others are visible)

I wish that was me haha, I don't have everything displayed at the moment, just one of each character

But here's the link to the contest, some pretty good submissions (though I still like mine best haha)

Houston, We Have Lift Off

We're live on Kickstarter, and as promised, you're the first to know! Enjoy limited early-bird pricing, a pledge level that entitles you to be part of Space Base history, and you can even snag the next generation of The Urban Playset! We appreciate everyone's support and are excited to introduce ReadySetz SPACE BASE!

Comedian · 07-26-2018, 07:16 PM

Just backed the kickstarter. Though this works great for 6" I am planing a 3.75" display of Star Wars. Bring on The haunted castle next!

LordMudd · 07-26-2018, 09:39 PM

I am getting one of each. Consider that aliens come in different shapes and sizes. I will probably get a second big one. Will look at ways to combine all of them to create more depth. I also have a couple of the space oriented Extreme sets too.

LordMudd · 07-26-2018, 09:42 PM

Also, I took the above image and did this with it.

LordMudd · 07-26-2018, 09:44 PM

The starfield did not photograph as well as I had hoped.

From Readysetz FAQ: Are there other designs and styles?

Yes, in addition to the Space Base, we have the original Urban Playset (no longer for sale), the Urban 18 and the Urban Collector's Edition. Also, in process, we have a palace; castle; tomb; small country town that is designed to accommodate mini figures, small animals and pets; shopping mall, and a fashion related design (that we aren’t ready to talk about yet). We also welcome suggestions from our social media followers and will try to give priority to their suggestions.

Castle and Tomb!

You might want to find a different image to use as the starfield in general. The repeated star pattern in strips makes it too obvious and symmetrical. That kind of repetition makes it look entirely wrong and easily spottable as 'fake'.

Also, using different paper stock and better printer settings will get rid of that green hue and faded aspect. A laser jet printer might help too. Inkjet tends to do that to a lot of stuff. Higher grade paper will infinitely improve it too instead of standard sheets.

The original image has writing in the middle. I copy/pasted stars from around it to cover it up.

Got this set in today. It has some minor flaws, visible in this shot, the block sections don't fit flush together, but over all it looks good.
