Thank you for taking the time to come on here and send this message. Your brother was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed by all here on the forums. My sincere condolences to you and your family. You may not share your brothers passion but you are a most welcome member of our strange little family too.
Rest in Peace Tcracker..you are free from all the pain and fear that this cancer burdened you and your family. Thank you for all the great photos and your contribution to this community. You will forever be immortalized here with all you have done. I wish the family all the best in this dark time..
Your brother is an incredible dude. I'm not going to say "was" because I think his effect will last for a long while to come.
Wow, Bummed I didn't find this till now... My Condolences to his Family and friends first and foremost. Always Admired his photography skills for years. Always beautiful to look at! My getting to know Tcracker (Simon) was through making decals for him for various figures over the last few years... He never let on about his condition for a Long time... I found out about his cancer he was dealing with 6-8 months back I think..? Had the privilege to exchange messages back and forth here over that time... While his Photo skills where Awesome by far, His genuine friendship which he shared with so many of us Is more than equally important... like others here. I feel privileged to have gotten to be a friend of his without ever meeting him. I now miss him with knowing he has passed.... I knew it was coming...was hoping he would get MP 44 first. Will be remembering him from time to time and crying like I am now. Belated God Speed to you friend.
Just had a thought. Whomever gets MP-44 first here, post a picture for TCracker. He may not be here physically, but he is probably watching from the allspark, so posting it for him in this thread or making another one in his name would be a good idea.
Due to a variety of reasons I've not been on these boards much recently and I rarely check the general discussion channel so this news just hit me. I'm really, really saddened to hear of TCracker's passing. I've been a fan of his for years and we've exchanged occasional messages when his "speculations" sometimes drew cynicism (this is the internet, after all) - I never lost faith in the man. In more recent years his photography has proved an inspiration with the quality of his photos having caught up with the man's fantastic ability to draw out the character of these toys through set-ups and poses. It takes great love and skill to bring these figures to life the way he did. Couple that with his ongoing enthusiasm for the hobby and his good natured approach to the fandom in general and we've lost a real star. My thoughts are with his family and close friends.
Just heard about our community's loss of TCracker. His pictures always made my day whenever I had a chance to see them. I feel like I knew exactly what kind of person he was through his pics. His humorous, dramatic, & whimsical way with a camera told many great stories. You will be missed my friend.
Welcome here, and thanks so much for making an appearance. Your brother touched so many of our lives, and was a genuine inspiration to us on these boards and beyond. As well as Facebook and Instagram, your brother also had a Twitter account: げんもん TCracker (@TcrackerGenmon) | Twitter As much as we are reeling from this loss, we can only imagine how devastated his close family and friends are. Our thoughts go out to you in this difficult time. Your brother's memory will continue to inspire us.
Rest in peace, TCracker. You may have speak to me maybe a couple of times on certain things, but thank you for your discussions and etc.
I know I'm really late here but I haven't browsed these boards in a long time and I just found out about TCracker's passing. I didn't even know he was sick, let alone gone. I had very few interactions with him but I admired his photography from afar. I will never forget his love for XTB Apollyon, even when everyone dumped on it after better offerings came along. The man truly had an incredible talent and eye for taking pictures of figures in awesome poses. He could make the crappiest of crap figures look good. Whenever I had buyer's remorse over a figure I just picked up, I would search for TCracker's pictures of said figure and the remorse would disappear. I will miss his beautiful pictures and insightful commentaries. My deepest sympathies to his family...
As all the incoming in hand pics of MP 44 are popping up, I can’t help but to think of @TCracker. One of the first poses I’m going to put MP 44 in is Tcracker’s signature superhero iron man landing pose! Miss your pics dude!
Yeah...its the main reason why I haven’t picked up my MP44 yet...it will really remind me of the dude.
He has, indeed, been most present in my thoughts of late. His shots of this would have been legendary.
Thanks everyone for thinking of my brother. It's been 3 months since his passing and I still miss him constantly. I'm sure he would have enjoyed taking pics of the MP44 and discussing it with everyone here.
