Photography contest - loose T-Cat figures - just for fun

Time for a little display of fandom creativity. Have you ever had a sudden urge to take a snapshot of one of your T-Cat toys in a realistic setting… turning earth into Third Earth, capturing them in a moment of contemplation, relaxation, vacation… ?

Submit your best photo of one of your toys in a realistic backdrop, maybe in a photo studio for a portrait… use your creative energy to take your best shot. Just post your image in this thread to be considered for top honours.

This is not about taking a good product style shot, it’s not about taking a photo of your displayed collection. The idea is to bring your toy(s) to life through photography.

There may or may not be a prize involved, will see if we can rustle something up but its in the spirit of ‘just for fun’

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with … below is an example for inspiration.

Contest closes June 11 2010

You can post as many photos as you like, they will all be considered to be submitted, but only one winner will be selected with honourable mentions going to a select few others.

Feel free to repost your other pics.

Remeber the duel between Grune and Lion-o at the Churning Rocks! I wanted to capture this moment in the platform when Grune had cornered Lion-o prior to breaking apart the sword of omens. I spook it up a little bit by shooting the picture in the dark and having as a fond a fir tree! I shed the light on purpose on Lion-o and Grune’s mace, i thing it looks more dynamic that way! Hope you like.

I almost forgot about this. One thought came to mind as soon as I saw the contest.

After a long day of battling the evil Mutants, Panthro decides to take a scenic route back to the lair only to stumble on a place that leaves him speechless. After decades of believing he was responsible for keeping all of the ThunderCats weapons and vehicles in working condition, he finds a toy junk yard full of ThunderCat and Mutant vehicle parts.

Hope you like :smiley:

Nice pic but I dont think I would have my Thunderwings Lion O out playing in the dirt:o

Lol, he was carefully placed :slight_smile:

Had I known the June 11 deadline was not final, I would have re-shot my entry. If submissions can be made through this weekend, I will re-shoot it in better light.

P.S. Endorx, where did you get a Tygra with no battle-matic lever?

If we entered the voting stage on the 22nd of October, would that give you enough time to reshoot?

Cheers,
Grizz

More than enough. Thanks.

Actually, i was having the same question?:confused::tygra:

I don’t remember this variation

Key word here is photoshop

That’ll teach me to not notice part of a sentence, lol. I saw the lightning and background part and somehow missed the Tygra’s back part. Good job on the photoshow work there.

Anyway, here’s my re-shoot:
