    I really wanted a Punch/Counterpunch and the TFCC one is to much and I haven't decided on getting the g1 one so I used on of the most well known molds for being bad to one of my favorite characters.

    Neato custom. Only makes me yearn for a proper update of Punch/Counterpunch more, official or 3P.

    1/ Life In Plastic: How To Take Good Toy Photos (Without spending any money!)

    2/


    3/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072148WM9?psc=1

    If you use a lightbox, or photograph the toy against a white background, it's easy to then edit your pics using any basic photo editing software, such as "Picsart" (available for both Android and iOS).

    Here are my basic tips:

    - Always use your smartphone in landscape mode (it saves hassle with uploading them here and getting the pics rotated by accident)

    - Take pics with the sunlight, lamp, light source BEHIND you, at a slight angle. This will stop the toy being too dark and you from making a huge shadow over your toy. Try putting your toy near a window and moving your phone camera between the figure and the window.

    - Place your toy on a table, not the floor. This will help you get close up shots or choose the angle to take the pics.

    - Avoid clutter. Try to avoid lots of details in the background and on the surface your toy is on. Clear away debris on the table (other toys, cutlery, vases, ornaments, etc), and avoid patterns, such as mats, curtains, etc). If you can't remove some things, or there is no way to avoid a messy background, see below.

    - Use an image editing app. As above, try using something like Picsart. The basic features I recommend are:

    1/ Crop. This will allow you to cut away any bits of the picture around the edges, which will allow you to "zoom" in on the picture.

    2/ Blur. If you select "invert" for this effect, you can then "paint" the blur effect over most of the background, making it appear out of focus.

    3/ Draw white over the background/Use an effect that makes the image white. Again, with the effects, you can use an effect (like "B&W Blur", "Orton", etc) to bleach everything. Just select "invert" again to effectively "erase" all the stuff around your toy to make a white background.

    4/ Use "B&W" or monotone effects. Using the "invert" technique above, you can make a coloured figure on a monotone background, which helps to bring focus to it.

    5/ Use the "free crop" tool. Basically, this allows you to cut out the toy. Then save it as a "png" (very important) and exit the app. Now, open the app, select "draw", and then tap the "tick" button to finish drawing. Then select "import picture" and select the cut out picture you made. Resize the picture to fit as best as you can and then use the regular crop tool to cut away the sides of the picture to "zoom" in on the toy.

    Like I said, you can use Picsart, on a phone or tablet, for free. If you've got a PC, using the standard "Paint" program would be useful.
