I've been wanting to archive all my collectibles digitally and possibly compile a hard copy in a binder. I created a quick photo shoot setup in the basement to take pictures in multiple views. Then, I import the images into Photoshop to create the final layout that includes a brief description of any details and features about the items.
As a collector, before purchasing an item, I've always searched the internet for reviews or images of the product itself to see how it looks aside from the manufacturers stock pictures. I like to see what the actual product really looks like in final production not just a snapshot. Considering the price tag of these items I have to carefully choose my purchases. Seeing pictures of the actual collectible, especially when taken by another collector, helps me decide if a character is a worthy item. I hope these pictures can help fellow collectors or anyone that is interested in these type of collectibles in deciding if they want an item or not. Maybe later on I will add some quick reviews for each collectible. For now I'll start by just capturing the images.
My collection includes a variety of themes and types, from small action figures, premium 1/6 scale figures to replicas and props. When I started collecting, I tried to stick with one theme to collect to save myself money but unfortunately I like a lot of different things which just led to more cool stuff to buy. Since I can't really afford to buy everything I want and with these things being so darn expensive, I am getting more selective as to which ones to buy.
Well, here are some that I've taken and compiled recently over the last few weeks. I do have a lot more and will try and get them archived as soon as I can. Enjoy the pics!
