Last week, I ran this Pic of the Day by Ed Speir IV. Featuring Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Hazard-Viper and Zombie-Viper, I declared it one of my favorite POTDs ever.
Given its cinematic look and style, I asked Ed if he wouldn’t mind describing how he made it. –PG
Here is a brief description of how the “How to Make a Monster” pic came about. I have included three pics for reference as well.
First, we’ll start with the props. There are basically three layers to this shot. (more…)
Hey Toy Fans! Nate here, in some circles, I’m better known as JediCreeper, on Twitter I’m JediN8 and to a tiny number of you, I’m the weird guy who won’t shut up on the Average Intelligence Podcast. I had the good fortune of attending the 2012 Toy Fair and Poe was kind enough to send me to both the Hasbro and Mattel fan appreciation events, to cover them for him. It is there I learned that even a native New Yorker is not nearly as pushy and shove-y as geeks with new toys. Here are some of my thoughts on the stuff I got to see.
Poe’s note: you can check out a gallery of Nate’s pics from TF2012 here.
There’s already a ton of news and the damned show hasn’t even started yet (though it will have by the time I get this post up). On a side note, the Mattel collector show–and subsequent MOTUC reveals–will be at 3pm ET today.
JediCreeper is going to do a write-up tonight, including the Mattel event. In the meantime, he’ll continue to tweet all day.
I’ve also uploaded a ton of Hasbro press pics of yesterday’s reveals, which you can check out on my Flickr account. If you want to see pics of the Horsemen event, including pics of the upcoming Raven and Vampire Queen figures from FANtastic Exclusive, I recommend this gallery from PCN.
Just a reminder, Poester JediCreeper is reporting for PGPoA from the Hasbro Collector’s Event at Toy Fair today. Follow his tweets here.
Pics to come!
