Not really... the figures were $20ish each (Art Spirits gashapons), and the buildings were $120 for 35 buildings, like $3 each,... including a nuclear power plant I haven't used yet. I mean it's not a cheap hobby, but I'll get a ton of use out of the buildings.

I'll be doing another set up with these buildings with some other gashapons soon.

Oh, wow. I looked them up, I see some larger but not much more expensive ones, that might work great for my NECA Kong vs. Musical Godzilla setup (as those two are a bit bigger than the normal). Thanks!

Here's one of my Ultraman Ace pictures.

Because I was bored, that's why. And thank you for making me aware of Eyepop Designs, the buildings do give a better sense of scale with very little actually added in.

They say if you look at this picture and play the Mortal Combat theme, Bloody Mary appears and tells you to get off the internet and go outside:

I recently added Bandai's "HG Cityscape Structures" accessory set to my collection of Gashapon scale buildings. Great set, if a bit pricey, but really adds a lot to what one can do...

My first attempt as using 'panorama' on my Monster Shelf. Clearly a failure, but if you assume you're driving by at high speed, it may be really good special effects. Edit: Made it a bit clearer.

Thanks, I used my PC monitor for the background image, then a lamp off to the side to boost some of the highlights on Kong and a hand held light to get the blue highlights from the axe.

I need to try something like that. I just used a shelf I thought might look like blue sky. Not remotely as effective...

It's about having fun and using what's available to you. I've been photographing toys for 15 years, what I was doing when I started vs today is vastly different.

In that case I'll just claim "2021 continues" Godzilla was exactly what I was going for all along.
