One photo a day ’til I run out of figures: Day Forty-Two

Continuing with the Occult theme. Today is The Owlman from Lord of Tears (Mezco Toyz).

Honestly, I didn’t even know about the movie before getting this figure. The design just spoke to me.

The Figure: The articulation is actually surprisingly good. The head is massive and sort of unmovable, sure, but the body underneath handles poses well. He has undeniable presence on the shelf. The Victorian suit + the Owl head is a top-tier design.

The Question: Looking at my recent photos… Am I overdoing the smoke machine? I personally think it looks cool and adds atmosphere, but I’m curious if it’s getting repetitive or distracting? Is there such a thing as “Too Much Smoke” in toy photography?

Thank you for this series! I’ve been enjoying it.

Regarding your question: While I did note the recurring theme of artfully applied smoke, I have yet to find it dull or repetitive. Expanding on physical effects couldn’t hurt, but the smoke never fails to add something in each instance.

I look forward to these and check your history occasionally to make sure I am caught up. Thanks again!

Thank you! I really appreciate the insight and the encouragement.
