This weekend a local store is having a stay at home toy display contest. It says to pose your figures into a scene of your own or a scene from a comic and be creative.

I had what I thought was a great idea, but when I put it into place, just didn't look right  .

Someone got any awesome ideas? I have DCUC, ML, and TFs. ANd tons of Randoms, lots of star wars ships and figures.

I have sold almost all my revoltech and gundams, so   that idea.

 

I really like that 1st pic especially with the pose from the cover and the cover in the background. That's awesome the way you have those set up.

 

I like putting figures from different franchises together into corny, yet practical, scenarios. It humanizes them. And I think it makes the viewer feel like part of the story since they have a better chance of relating to what the characters are dealing with.

Edit: Think of a funny situation you have been in yourself and try recreating it with action figures that people would not expect to be in that situation.

 

That's what I was trying to do and they were just to big for the area I was trying to use them in (dollhouse). Made me sad. But, that's the idea I was going for.

 

What kind of idea did you have in mind?

 

Like reproducing the last scene of avengers when they are eating shwarma.

 

Lol. You might just have to make your own restaurant set, then. You could build a simple backdrop with a few restaurant details on it and just place the figures around some tables and chairs. Do you have a printer? You could print some restaurant backdrops and stick them to cardboard or something to make it look like a restaurant interior. Or, maybe ditch the restaurant look and make it a shwarma picnic on a blanket in the grass or something.

 

I made it work in the dollhouse. Now I am having a hard time choosing the best photo/angle.

 

Post some test pics...I'm sure it will generate some suggestions!

 

I went with this one. Original avengers + spidey and -thor, i couldn't fit him.

 

lol. Needs some dialog. Some suggestions:

IM & Cap: "Why is every place that serves shawarma infested with insects?"

Spidey: "Best shawarma I've ever had"

Hulk: "Nothin' but dollhouse food left in here"

 

Spidey has the pizza though.

 

If you're crafty, you could pose some of them doing sports. Optimus and company playing basketball comes to mind. I've managed to pick up a decent sized small foam basketball, and I've got Prime and Megs posed taking free throws.

 

Yes. He doesn't like shawarma.

 

i wish i had pictures still, but i once did a Christmas setup with my tf alternators mixing the reindeer name calling with the Jazz autobot call out

 

We could have our own ones here. That’s all I been doing in lockdown. Some housework, some TV and some checking out the toys I never get round to...
