Just when i think im done with 3A…

Published on April 27, 2012 by in News

Re-Venture pic’s are released and some surprises are included. First up a glimpse as the Valve Portal toys, OK im not overwhelmed by them but they look surprisingly good hopefully we get a proper Aperture science turret at some point.

And the piece that makes me wish i was seriously rich… a FULL SIZED ‎1:1 Peaceday Dropcloth, now i remember seeing the 1:1 LM and being blown away but this is just something else. With the 1:1 square beside him and those to scale bags it’s perfect, obviously it’ll cost you the equivalent of a family car but it’s a 1:1 DC tell the kids to use the bus.

It’s been emotional

Published on April 15, 2012 by in News

 

Well it’s been a crazy few weeks Toy Talk Friday has received loads of praise by the toy scene, I announced my new project and released my first Baby Godzilla Vlog. And then a few guys got together to pay for my train tickets to London for the HMQ event, I’m looking forward to meeting everyone Thursday and also saying thanks in person for the train tickets.

 

 

 

Also Uncle-Absinthe sent me a couple of those Mini Berties from 3A, I’ll get a review up soon. The one in the pic had to be fixed because i was a bit silly and broke his arm.

Published on March 24, 2012 by in News

Stumbled upon this picture while browsing the Kidrobot forums and yea I’m gutted i passed these guys by, getting one with Rothchild will be cool but as a toy photographer i see potential for some great pics.

The smallest of achievements can be a huge success to some…

Published on March 21, 2012 by in News

On Sunday my channel reached 30,000 video views today it’s 30,225 lets be honest that’s tiny when you compare it to other people on Youtube, to me it’s a big achievement and makes the time spent creating videos worthwhile.

I have tons of ideas for the channel and how i can bring the UK and further afield community’s together the first being Toy Talk Friday, a weekly round up of news that’s interested me. Episode 1 has had a great response, hopefully overtime it will evolve into something special.

Thanks for all the support

It’s been awhile

Published on March 21, 2012 by in News

It’s been awhile since i updated the site but I’m back, the plan is to post at least twice a week on this site and get at least 2 videos up on my Youtube channel.  Of course when I’m not posting on here or Youtube you can find me on my Facebook page or Twitter, links to the left.

New video went up today, something i think is better as a video than a blog post.
