I haven't read it end to end but so far it's the best online table top photography tutorial I've seen and it's free (pero pwede ta ka-order printed book kung ganahan ta handy reference).

I personally prefer bright (but not too bright ) lights but it seems the gradiated background (white to gray or black effect) does look better. Please visit Buy Video Games for Consoles and PC - From Japan, Korea and other Regions! - Play-Asia.com for their toy photos. Sample...



However, they also have non-gradiated like (ako personal preference)



Also, gamit dyud reflectors (ako white illustration board ra).

I just realized how neat Hasbro's Iron Man movie action figure's package is when I finally decided to open my Mark02. I didn't have to totally destroy it like I would some of DC Direct's packages or SOTA SF's clamshells (although I think with the careful use of a cutter, said packages can be opened without totally destroying them but Hasbro's seems easier to open).

Yohoo! A blister pack opened without destroying it. Carefully used a cutter to cut a U-shape counterclockwise from leftmost corner to the rightmost corner where the pre-formed plastic blister meets the printed paperboard. Next challenge: clamshell.



@giver_bert: To give us a sense of scale sa imo toys (especially for a non-mecha collector like me), can you place a AA battery beside your toys next time you shoot them? Salamat bro. Kakita nako sa imo gidala na toy sa EB meeting ninyo sa BTC so I'm guessing 12 inchers ni sila but I'm not sure.
