Thank you so much! I'm trying to post more regularly, but life continues to happen. Photos are posted a bit more regularly on the Hangerbay 23 Instagram page.

I'm fortunate in where we currently live, I get to shoot fun stuff with some of the most amazing backdrops in the world. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you! I'm finishing up a short for their HO scale layout as well. Look for it to post later this week.

I love Toy Polloi! He's a great resource for folks to go to when they want to restore almost anything.

Hello! I'd love to share some of the things that work for me. I have three big things I do in my Pop! pics that work for me. First is finding a Pop! I really want to shoot. A good portion of the Pops in my photography line I have no idea who they are. I really like the colors, or stance, or saw them and immediately saw a "scene" in my mind that I wanted to create. That's why I rarely shoot Star Wars stuff, even though I love the franchise. I don't feel like I have room to create there, only re-create. Second is all about the angles. I very rarely shoot a pop from the ground. I normally will try to find a way to get them a couple of feet off the ground to get the camera lower to the pop and make the shot more head on. this allows me to incorporate more of the background and balance the photo. (Bonus here, I always turn the head a bit to give the figure a little more movement) Third tip is to use fill lighting. a little LED panel can be purchased off of Amazon for $20 and will make all the difference in accenting/highlighting the pop. Hope those help, looking forward to seeing some of your work soon!!

@@HangerBay23 Thank you so much!! I love your videos and thanks so much for responding so quickly. 😀

Neca makes some amazing figures. I love their ultimate stalker predator. On the other hand, these Lanyard figures are everything you want out of a $15-20 dollar toy. It has absolute playability and it looks good too!

You'll like the video we currently have in production. We just visited the worlds largest toy museum in Branson MO. Look for a full video and a handful of shorts coming soon!

Thanks for your feedback! Really trying to make videos that everyone will enjoy, so knowing what to adjust helps!

They’re really cool, and it’s fun having a travel buddy/mini me of the wife & I. Looking forward to seeing what other options Funko adds for them.

Thanks so much! Been wanting to do some DC themed shots for a while now.

Thank you so much, but I can't claim these. This was at the US Botanic Garden right beside the US Capitol in Washington DC. I'm fortunate with my office being close enough that I can spend lunch here among the beautiful flowers.

Thanks for the comment! I believe I have something worked out for the bulk of the bin, I just need a couple of things to line up. Will share updates as they're available.

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

Thanks! I really appreciate you checking it out! Hope to be at the Maryland Toy Show in November.

@@HangerBay23 Yeah I saw some people filming around the show so I had been looking too see the videos pop up, really like how you edited this together. And thats a pretty darn good show at least the one they had earlier this year was.

This is our third trip to Hershey for the toy show, we’ve been super impressed every year. I know they had some last minute vendor swaps this year and everything still looked seamless. Looking forward to going back to the show again next year.

Thanks! Super happy that you enjoy it!

You're too kind! This was another disaster but it's one of those things. Life happens and I want to promote making the best of a bad situation. The hobby (and the channel by extension) is supposed to be fun, not another thing that creates stress in life. So, while not as polished or professional as some of the other channels I hope this one is at least a little bit of fun.

The one in the thumbnail

@@Dicem Didn't even realize I used the different predator in the thumbnail. Great catch!

@@HangerBay23 Thanks man!

Thanks so much! I'm still not really comfortable filming in public, but I'm getting better about it. I'm not the most social person to begin with, so doing things that draw attention to me when I'm out really takes me out of my comfort zone.

Thanks I really appreciate it! And your English is great!

Thanks, have a couple of life fire shoots planned this week, so will try that as well.

Thanks so much! Sorry I missed your comment, I really appreciate it!!

@@HangerBay23 thx

Thanks! I'm honestly not sure what happened with these, I got home late and rather than waiting until morning to start transferring data, I decided to do everything that night. I obviously messed up one of my folders as I lost a majority of the hobby stuff, but my "touristy" and work photos are all still intact. Right now I'm scheduled to head back to PR the last week in June, so hopefully I can re-create a lot of the shots I lost and think of some other stuff to shoot as well.

Thanks! Currently working on a project for Eevee & Eeveeolutions. Hope to have that video done by the middle of July.

It really is. I'm optimistic we get a few more black series Ewok for the ROTJ anniversary next year.

For the price point this is a great line. Unfortunately, mine seem to be jinxed as every time I try to shoot or video with them things don't work out for me at all.

hi bryce potter

Thanks! Just finished my semester for grad school, so hope to be shooting some new material soon.

Thank you!

Thanks!

They're still out in the "wild", I saw a couple of the versions on store shelves in Tennessee last week. Hopefully I get to shoot these guys in the video I've been wanting to do for a while now at the end of the month, but we'll see.. Fingers crossed! Do you photograph yours or are you just collecting?

That's amazing work!! The X Wing really cleaned up nicely. Thanks for saving a vintage toy from the recycle bin and for sharing your story!

@@HangerBay23 You're welcome, and likewise to you! These toys have value to our generation, and I love that we can still have and enjoy these toys for the future! Restoring toys is a fun and worthwhile hobby.

The very best of luck!! I see a lot of the vintage X Wings on eBay with the broken wing. Not sure if they all had a rough life as a toy, or if the plastic broke from hanging or what. Either way they can lead to inexpensive projects for restoration or awesome dioramas. Keep us advised on your project, would love to see some photos when she's done! Good luck & MTFBWY!

Thanks Olivier! This method is permanent, I use it as I travel a lot with my figures. There is a way to do the same using pastille chalks that can be washed off when your done shooting. I'll share that in an upcoming video.

@@HangerBay23 Great ! I follow you 😉

@@olivierzaouati5411 Awesome! Thank you. Look for some workshop videos in the very near future, the pastille chalks will be one of the first ones I do.

Haven't forgotten about you, @@olivierzaouati5411 I should have a video on temporary weathering coming up soon!

Filming the temporary weathering video tonight, Olivier!

Very true! I have several fair-weather photography toys, only a few cold weather types. Not much of a fan of shooting outside when it's cold at all!

Thanks! Every time I think I have something special worked out for these guys it falls apart. I've had two trips cancelled now, where they were going to be the focal point of my toy shoot. Hopefully 2022 lets me get one of my big trips in and I can share that with you all. Thanks again for the comment, it's greatly appreciated.

Thank you! Glad you liked it. You're being generous with the incredible, but it's appreciated.

Thanks! Hope to finish up another video this week. (Fingers crossed) Always appreciate the comments!

Thanks so much!

Awesome! I believe I finally have a chance to photograph these guys in an environment that will really showcase the figures. Planning to have a new video out with the Predators by the end of December.

Same

Thanks!

Thank you, these figures are quickly becoming my favorite troopers in the collection, but doing them justice in their environment is proving to be a bit difficult. Look for them to be featured in another upcoming video soon!

Thanks! I appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed it!
