The Toy Collecting + Figure Photography Thread

A thread for us forever-kids who dig this sort of thing to talk toys, figure photography, collections, etc. Show yours off, I wanna see em.
Obviously not my photos (you can find some of those in the thread), but look at these things:

Friggin neat. I should preface this thread by saying I tend to lean toward nostalgic properties/toys and I'm not all that "in" on the figure collecting scene. There are just certain pieces that I need and this TMNT/Power Rangers mash up is like smashing two huge aspects of my 90s kid childhood into one gorgeous project. Only one I'm not mega into is Tommy as the Foot Clan soldier (the Tommy head isn't in the photo). I dig that they brought at least one Power Ranger character into the TMNT world instead of vice versa but Tommy doesn't strike me as a Foot guy. That Shredder/Green Ranger mash up is a legit dream fig though.
But yah, share photos of your stuff or just talk about the toys (upcoming or retro) that interest you, etc etc.

Im very afraid of owning it. This would be my first "seamless body" figure, hoping it survives the humidity here in the caribbean.

Damn that’s badass. I’m not even huge into Street Fighter but I am indeed jealous of that.

Yeah. I thought about it for a few months. Finally pulled the trigger and preordered it since I doubt they will re release something like this.They used a custom tbleague body, everything else looks to be professionally sculpted and painted. Everything about it, even the box, is high quality. It is very impressive. The only thing that looks rough are the feet joints. Ive seen a lot of cool shots of the figure online.

I hope they do well on sales with these 2. Surely Chun Li would be next and Im a sucker for that. But only if they can make an accurate custom body for her. Not interested in those skinny legs tbleague.

Ever since we moved into the new apartment, my funds have been super tight so I unfortunately haven't been able to partake in snagging any new figures or anything. Bummer for sure. I might pull some of my boxed figures out of storage soon to open them up and display them just to revisit them and feel like a toy collector again haha.
Looking forward to seeing more photos from you folks though. I did find a few AEW trading card blaster boxes for relatively cheap, so once those get delivered I'll snap some photos of my trading card collection so far and throw them in here.

Any feedback on this company?
Ive never heard of them but these figures look pretty sick and there's not a lot out there from this franchise.

At $60 theyre kinda expensive for the scale but Im thinking of preordering the toads at least. The whole set would be great for people who make dioramas!

Oh yah, BBTS is legit. My pal buys from them all the time, and a few wrestler vlogs I watch get packages from them often. Like you said, they’re expensive, but they can be trusted.

Sorry I meant Premium DNA as the manufacturer. Never heard of them before.
Ive used BBTS a couple of times. Probably the best online toy store right now, I wish the $4 shipping would work for PR.
