Hey....I bought some figures on empire toy shop- there all gamorrean guards, it cost $3 for 3 figures on preorder. Is this a scam or are there deals that good
Definitely not a scam! Sometimes for preorders, shops will have you put a small deposit down. But then you’ll have to pay the full amount when it ships! Keep an eye on your email because you will have to pay the remaining amount later on!
I usually use Neca and Hasbro! Neca has a lot of great detailed figures that have great accessories and sculpts. I find their articulation decent for the most part. Mostly collect their horror figures. Hasbro has a great selection of figures for their Star Wars and Marvel Legends. They’re very affordable and posable! I also like to use Lego too, but they’re so tiny. Lego is good to customize and you can build your own backgrounds and set pieces easily. Lego has a lot of good franchises and so you got a lot of options to pick from when shopping for them.
Not on instagram but have been inspired by you for over a year now, many of our friends look forward to miniature photography gatherings. We have some new models and transformers itching to get out of the box.. I have a special Darth Vader you are gonna love. Thanks so much Jared for the work you do and the kind spirit you bring to creativity.
Hi Jared ,im really inspired by your youtube videos , i have started taking my own pictures now , i started a few years ago doing stop motion for my grandchildren and i really enjoy this now , sorry im not on instagram only youtube , thanks from England .
Good video I normally buy from bbts and Facebook groups especially now that everyone buys Star Wars black series. Sh figuarts are my favorite line especially dragon ball z. And rvcosplay is my instant gram
Thanks Mr.Middleton! I love this video, I currently don’t have any action figures cause the one I used to have I gave away so this list will for sure help!
Thanks Jared you always provide us with the Best info ....Thanks for simpatice with us the Other side of the world.....same continent ...lol Keep it coming we all apreciated all you effort HUGE THANKS !!
Thanks for the video, man... My birthday's coming up, so I'm making an action figure wish list! You were the one that actually got me into action figures and toy photography, so thanks for that. I've been taking pictures of my toys inspired by you for a bit now. Anyway, this video really got me the info I need, so, again, thank you
In the UK, I get my plastic fix from "The Toku Dealer" for sh figuarts and some kamen rider belts and stuff. And "Gundam Mad" for my gundam and other big robot goodness. ^^
Great video some names of figures I'd never heard of which i can now check out i dont have instagram for your giveaway keep up the good work am lovin the weekly videos👊🏻🤘🏻
Also another great import site is hobbylink Japan. You can store in their warehouse and then ship bundled together. Also, depending on how you do it, importing can be much cheaper than buying from like BBTS
There’s this line of Dragon Ball toys called Dragon Stars and they’re pretty good looking for around 30 Canadian dollars I’ve only seen them in GameStop though
Hot Toys are so beautiful 😍 I just enjoy shooting with 1/12 scale a bit more. Plus I’m too afraid to bend them too much and put then through the explosive hell I put my other figures through 🤣
I am just getting into you photography so your whole video series has been amazing. This video in particular was very helpful. Thanks @thefarmingphotographer
Well I don't have a Instagram but my Facebook is Forrest Glick I believe we talked on messenger. And thank you for showing where to go to get the action figures.
Man the figurines I want right now are pricy on Amazon of course I understand how they price them. There are days I get lucky at Walmart with a few figurines at a decent price. I want to do a Batman vs Superman
I noticed you use a lot of water, and heat (fireworks/flames), and abrasives (sand), near or directly on your figures. Do they not get permanently damaged? (Heat can warp plastic, sand can scratch paint, water can cause bacterial/fungal growth if you don't clean and dry the toy thoroughly.
Hi thanks for watching! Yes you’re always putting your figures at risk when using effects like those. They rarely get damaged, but every once in a while a little char or warping happens. Just depends on if your willing to risk it 😁
@@sirdork730 thanks for the response! I truly enjoy all your work and your insight is informative Thank you for inspiring us to follow our interests in toy photography and building up our passion for it! (I think I'll start experimenting with the cheaper figures I own! LoL)
Love your videos man! Keep up the amazing work! I wonder if next time you may be able to speak to your workflow. What comes First? How does it begin, with lighting, or camera position, does it vary based on the figure or the shot? @PinciPix
I have been starting with my new force link figure storm trooper like cop or something I wish I could get the figure but I use my Moms Instagram account and I don’t know if she will want to let me do that
Since the pandemic hit I’ve been looking for a way to stretch my photographic muscle. Had to quarantine at my childhood home and discovered these little dinosaurs on my old desk. Googled toy photography and found your images. Been hooked ever since. Thanks for inspiring and keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you. Instagram for the contest: @c1ayphoto
I am currently subscribed and IG handle is @Epikhood.. My 6 year old son and I love your videos and just started taking some action photos. We got the Canon camera, yellow skin, lume cube and building up our black series collection. It’s been so much fun during this pandemic stuff to have a new hobby! Keep up the good work.

@@sirdork730 ok, thanks
Some of the action figures I have here a like 20 to 30 Australian dollars, so no not a scam
I checked empire toy shop and i found Ventress for "2€". Does it charge more or is it really the best deal ever?
@@lasagna_r that happened to me with the guards, it’s a pre order so you will have to pay more later
Us: “What toys are the best to use?”
Jared: “I mean, does it matter?”
Haha! Basically 😝😝
I've got tons of Star Wars Vintage Collection, a few Black Series, lots of NECA, and many Transformers. I've started photographing what I already own.
congrats, you have made to the level where haters give you a thumbs down for no reason
You have inspired our whole house to collect and customize ! This would be a great addition!
THANKS FOR US BEING AWESOME!?
YOU'RE THE ONE AWESOME
no, YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!

Awesome content as usual. Thanks for these videos.
There’s this line of Dragon Ball toys called Dragon Stars and they’re pretty good looking for around 30 Canadian dollars
I’ve only seen them in GameStop though
Is there a reason you don’t really shoot with hot toys just curious!?? I love the realism of them!
Hot Toys are so beautiful 😍 I just enjoy shooting with 1/12 scale a bit more. Plus I’m too afraid to bend them too much and put then through the explosive hell I put my other figures through 🤣
Hot toys are amazing but the scale is a downside for shooting to me. Unless you have a dedicated room for a studio. They are so beautiful tho
Sorry but what are hot toys?
I saw you uploaded and came instantly
Also I don’t have Instagram and can’t download
This is cool but I have a question how do I enter the giveaway
Edit: I read the description well nvm
Hey guys if you live in london there is a great shop called forbidden planet which sells tones of action figures or comics and more

You should do the dbs broly sh figurearts bet it will look so cool and keep up the awesome work I’m starting to do toy photography

Love your videos man! Keep up the amazing work! I wonder if next time you may be able to speak to your workflow. What comes First? How does it begin, with lighting, or camera position, does it vary based on the figure or the shot? @PinciPix
Thanks for watching dude!! I actually have that planned out to do as a full video this year!
Cool
Would you trust a site like Amazon or is it more similar to something like E-bay. Or should I stick to the sites you brought up?
Amazon is definitely trust worthy! Just make sure to check seller reviews and where the seller is coming from etc, just like you would on eBay 🙏
@no.chewing , great video!
Awesome Video-@HasbroStarWars
Thunder cats cool
Love the video ,but do you ever sell the photos
Thanks so much! Yes! You can find my photos for sale in poster size on sirdork.com!
