Lost in a Good Book by Monte Williams, on Flickr

Michael Crawford's take on that, which I agree with, was that it was intended as a sign to the consumer that Mezco was serious about the property and hoping to dig deeper than just the expected Kirk/Spock/McCoy. In retrospect, the line might have fared better had they held off on variants and...

Keep us abreast of your progress, I look forward to seeing how it goes. Sure thing:

Thanks for the kind words. I've gotten a lot of use out of that hand. Roughly, although personally I'd sacrifice accuracy and make it oversized. The Legends one seems oversized but looks better for it, in my opinion. What material are you going to use?

In retrospect, what I mostly liked about the Marvel Legends "shield" accessory is that it took editing gimmicks like a champ... even when I overdid it. Burning Ring of Fire by Monte Williams, on Flickr He Can Recognize the Echoing Whisper of Lives Taken By Sorcery... But to Him This Place is...

Hope this helps, sir. Wouldn't wanna leave a fellow Tolkien enthusiast hanging!

Curiouser still: I might prefer the sculpting on the "shield" accessory from the $20 Hasbro figure! The Hot Toys one is a bit flat, and somewhat smaller than I'd like. I'm nitpicking, though; this is a transcendent toy. Update: here's a comparison. The Hasbro one isn't as swell as I'd...

My Strange arrived tonight! Honestly, I'm a bit overwhelmed by him. I suspect this is one of those toys I'll have to take on two or three shoots before I even get comfortable with him. I never understood before what people mean when they suggest that photos don't do a figure justice, but now I...

Ha, I did the same. Gollum's Fish by Monte Williams, on Flickr

Yeah, the scale was perfect to me.

They won't produce more; neither Bilbo nor Gollum sold well.

$40, maybe? I paid $10! :) Update: Found this comment on one of my old Flickr portraits of Bilbo: "The usual retail price is around $50. Hastings has it for $30 or so. I got mine for $14 shipped from GameStop, but they're sold out now." Geez, I miss Hastings.

Bilbo is amazing, despite the somewhat odd paint apps on his face. He was all I photographed for the better part of a year.

Thanks. I do favor larger backdrops, but it's good to know he comes with something. Still, one of my biggest advantages is that I'm willing to take these things outside; I like my photos to stand out.

I was just posting on Facebook about the fact that, when Strange arrives on my doorstep in a couple months, I'm not sure how to utilize him. I suck at indoor photography, but he'd be an ill fit against my usual backdrops of rocks and trees and grassy hills. I don't want to invest the time and...

I just got this figure a couple weeks ago, and was surprised to see how small this old thread is, and how lukewarm many of the responses were; I think it's a swell figure! A Gift From Toybox: Joe Colton Week Begins! by Monte Williams, on Flickr Adventure—noun—An Unusual and Exciting...

They've released a billion superheroes since their last Trek figure.

I still need to see it, but since you're a fan, I'm wondering if you have the trippy, anime-looking 2009 Play Arts Kirk and Spock? I just ordered them for dirt cheap on Amazon ($30 each!) despite having not seen the film, 'cause their unique aesthetic is intriguing and their accessories and...

Trek merch from many companies is discounted. The fanbase has largely aged out.
