I'm gonna ask a dumb question so please don't hate me. Is eBay the only route on these right now?

I order from them (once). They were slow (shipping) but the figure arrived safe and sound.

I wish I had a better camera...

Great pics Batty!

Is this your replacement head?

 

[dedguy]

They're good for exaggerating depth and relative size of the subject - so the nearest and farthest points of a figure match the same proportions when a real person is shot with a more standard lens from a normal distance.

Wide angles can be fun, but I prefer flatter lenses for scale photography.

Thanks!

New helmet should arrive today. Sideshow CS was great about sending a new one out.

They're good for exaggerating depth and relative size of the subject - so the nearest and farthest points of a figure match the same proportions when a real person is shot with a more standard lens from a normal distance. The figure therefore looks less 'toy like' and more like the real thing. Also, because they tend to have a shorter focal length than longer lenses, so you can shoot the figure from up close and get all that sweet detail.

..but all that means nothing if the lighting set-up is no good.

I'd love to see some examples.

buy a head on ebay and call it a day

No way! It's not like this is a $20 toy..we're paying premium prices, for a high end collectible. I don't think the consumer should have to settle for anything less than what they paid for, which in this case is a premium product.

try putting a want ad down in the Wanted section. i did for this IM IV and had a few people contact me. $220 shipped was the lowest tho.

I should be getting my first 17-55 in a couple of weeks, pretty excited. I'll be relying on natural light until I get some lights. Expect the first ones to be crap, I'm not as far along with my shooting as you are - but seeing as how I gave you a hard time I'll post them anyway

Finally set up the Mark IV with my older figs.

Can't wait to get VI and V. I will designate a shelf just to Iron Man. BW, WM, and Whiplash are gonna go to their own shelf.

Awesome collection.
If you're interested, their is a simple way to get your Whiplash the correct orange suit...
I think you need to pour a little bleach into a bucket of water and soak the pants until the brown wears off, leaving behind the correct orange color. Not sure on this, however. Check the Whiplash thread.

Lol. I'm sure they'll be fine. Looking forward to them.

Yeah, I decided that I was gonna do it for sure but now I can't decide if I just don't have the time or just being lazy.

I figure if I mess them up I would be able to find replacement on ebay, besides the easiest way I saw to do it on the Whiplash thread looks pretty idiot proof.

Hey! Time and laziness are my excuses. Get your own.

Seriously though, he'll look so much better when you do.
