The Avengers: Hawkeye

Hawkeye is my very first Hot Toy, I never planned on buying him but i'm glad i did. The head sculpt is spot on! No one can deny that this is Jeremy Renner. I was lucky i was able to purchase him at SRP price, now his price has already doubled.

Without further ado, here's my photo set for Hawkeye:

Hot Toys DX12 The Dark Knight Rises Batman Photo Review

This is my first attempt on Photo reviewing a figure so please bear with me :) I have always been a toy collector/enthusiast since I was little and just recently Hot Toys 1/6 scale caught my attention.  I find bloggers who post final products for Hot Toys very creative as I enjoy looking at it, they bring drama and life to the figures and I thought I wanted to do that too, just for fun and learning.

So here it is, my first photo review, I did not go much into details in this one as I am only trying which lighting set up would be best.  I did a 3 light set up. 1 rim lighting, 1 key and fill on both sides.  I combined it with light painting just to light up dark areas and to bring life to the figure's eyes. I used black cloth as a background, I have yet to find a black acrylic sheet for my base so that the figures feet will give a slight reflection. This set was shot with a 15 sec shutter speed, f16 aperture, and 100 ISO.  Minimal editing was done, the photos in lightroom was a bit light but when I exported it, it seem to have gone darker so I did not tweak it so much, just crop and highlights adjustment.
