Some are effective, others, not so much. I can't touch most of the stuff I see out there (professional camera, dioramas, lighting etc) , but I can step up my pose game. Thanks for the compliments, they help me to understand what I'm good at. It isn't easy to look at your own work objectively, inherent bias being what it is.

I like cross-comic pantheon fights, I think the ideas they spawn are cool. I thought this would be a nice fight. The Guardians would be hard-pressed in a contest with Lobo. They are out matched in raw strength, invulnerability, and maybe speed IMO Their only advantages are tactics and the variety of powers they possess. Lobo is no Thanos. But he may as well be, given the magnitude by which he dwarfs each of them, individually. I thought about having him bounty-hunt Gamora, but the armored version would be needed for this line-up...and Angela, if she were obtainable , would be able to go one on one with him...this process, of thinking about the characters and their abilities, helps me walk through what poses to create.

Gosh mate, I don't think the majority of us can afford it, especially with the current onslaught of figures Hasbro is churning out! I'm working with a friend to construct a big dio, but you're damn right that good lighting and a quality camera are luxuries that some of us can't afford.

Space is also the key killer. I admire you a lot for being able to construct these beautifully posed scenarios, only to have the courage to take them apart. I never have the heart to dismantle something I've worked hours on, but at least you have some brilliant photos from it! From your exposition on this piece, you seem to have a real artist's eye for posing. I'm certainly a character-driven person, attracted to grudges and connecting relationships which bind the opposing sides.
