Winter Wonderland ❄️❄️ Very nice as long as you don't need to go somewhere

Hot internet take: I think the Avatar movies are great

And that's a wrap on Stranger Things. A bumpy last season, and I have some issues with how the main conflict was resolved. But then the last half hour happened and I loved it. The show returned to its strengths, the characters, what the show is ultimately about. A beautiful way to say goodbye

New years eve vs new years day #toyphotography

But yeah, agreed with @toygrind.bsky.social that G2 Laser Optimus is one of the greatest Transformers figure of all time I might be a bit biased since the G2 Primes are pure nostalgia for me, but come on. Every modern attempt at remaking it fell short

Well, that's a fun way to start 2026. Learning something new about a toy you've had for 30 years.

Hold up... G2 Hero Optimus Prime has elbows?!?! I have owned that toy for 30 damn years. I have spent a considerable part of my childhood playing with it. And *this video* is how I learn of this 🤯 How did I never notice this before😅

New years eve vs new years day #toyphotography

Happy new year!!

And now we close the book on 2025 and swim off into the sunset. I wish you all a happy new year! See you in 2026!

Aside from my "art" posts, I am also happy with my "normal toy photography" this year. I like the look I settled on. Early in the year I decided to only shoot on a white bg, and then change the background color in post. This keeps the figure nice and bright. Excited to keep tweaking this more

The year is almost at an end, so it's time to look back at my top 9 favorite posts I did this year. Read on to read my thoughts on each of them >>>> #transformers #toyphotography

Well hello there

Lists time! Up first are my top 9 purchases of the year! #transformers #toycollector

Starry starry night ✨ Merry Christmas from 🇳🇱

It's Christmas!

Finished my rewatch of Stranger Things right in time for the drop of the final episodes. And man I am thoroughly hyped. It's just such a great show, and the Duffer Brothers have consistently delivered exhilarating and epic finales, so I expect nothing else for the big one. Can't wait!

As you can gather from my last couple of posts, I bought a bunch of SH Figuarts figures recently. But this one is the most epic one Say hey! Shin-chan! #toyphotography

Father and son Now the long wait for a 2.0 Perfect Cell... #toyphotography #dragonballz

The new SH Figuarts Goku. I was skeptical at first but he is a joy in hand. The proportions are spot on and he poses incredibly natural. Bring on all the colors of the rainbow! #toyphotography #dragonballz

Goku vs Frieza #toyphotography #dragonballz

“He might be a fake Optimus, but he’s as strong as the real one!” 📸 Transformers SDCC Exclusive Armada Nemesis Prime with the Star Saber!

Love this look for Gohan #toyphotography

Got this dynamic duo on sale recently. SH Figuarts Gamma #1 and #2, from DBS Super Hero No regrets, they look great together and pose very well. #toyphotography

Finally had time to put up the Christmas decorations

Scourge in the Upside Down #transformers #toyphotography

King of the Road vs Master of the Skies Handling Menasor again after getting used to Superion really shows how much they improved the engineering. Superion feels a lot better in hand and is a joy to pose #transformers #toyphotography

Menasor! #transformers #toyphotography

Superion! #transformers #toyphotography

The night is cold, the moon is bright, But SinterMagnus has no fright Toy collectors around the world, He comes with presents haven't you heard? That hottest new fig or that holy grail dream, He is sure to bring the holiday's magic gleam A wonderful sight, Transform and Roll Out into the night!

Devastator! #transformers #toyphotography

Based on this and talking with @sam-makes-toys.bsky.social about the arms, did a little color tweak. And yeah, the proportions are there to look great, it's just the colors that make it look weird. I 100% expect that in person it won't be a problem at all, looking at the other two.

Two things make the proportions look off 1. Our eyes are drawn to Swindle/Brawl as "the lower leg", but the blue bits are also part of it 2. The chest is too square. Just streamlining that fixes most of the issues:

Recent posts where I played around with darkness and emphasizing the character through their silhouette #transformers #toyphotography #maccadam

Progress! Made this one year ago, a couple of months into my drawing journey, and I absolutely hated how it looked and almost me quit

And finally Beast Gohan. Applying what I learned about line thickness and again using the Figuarts as reference. Here I like the line art better than the colored version (coloring is hard) Probably my best full body drawing so far.

And then I learned about varying line thickness (as I am fully in the "art tutorial YouTube algorithm" now) And wow😲! That makes a difference. This is the happiest I've ever been with a drawing. I was even happy with my coloring (first pic is my original colors, second edited in Photoshop)

Goku on Namek. Here I used as reference a picture I took of the SH Figuarts figure. Trying to go for dramatic lighting. Probably a strategy I'm going to use more often. Since posing and lighting a figure is something I actually know how to do.

Art dump! The last couple of weeks I've been at it again with drawing DBZ I like how Trunks hair came out. With Goku I tried to emulate the early Z art style with its more rounded look. This piece made me start focusing on anatomy more. The chest looks great but I wasn't happy with the arms

#sevendaysofprime bonus day - Crossover Prime Rodimus Prime of the Fire Nation As it's the bonus day I bent the rules a bit in what I count as a Prime. Mostly I just needed an excuse to use this figure in a post somehow 😅 #transformers #toyphotography

#sevendaysofprime day 7 - Do as you wish Of course I had to put the toy of the year in the spotlight during this week. OMEGA Prime! Tomorrow we have one more bonus day! #transformers #maccadam

#sevendaysofprime day 6 - Childhood impact These are the Optimuses from my childhood. Yes, the actual figures in all their battle damaged glory. I have many cherished childhood memories for each of these figures. And here we are, 30 years later, still buying Optimus Prime figures #transformers

#sevendaysofprime day 5 - Prime and Galvatron unite The time they actually teamed up. Though it didn't last long and ended in one of the most epic Prime vs Megatron fights in TF history. This picture is not physically possible btw but I managed to do it via the magic of editing. #transformers

#sevendaysofprime day 4 - Intimidating Prime You do not want to mess with this guy. He'll rip your face off. #transformers #toyphotography

#sevendaysofprime day 3 - Animation error You're in completely the wrong show Optimus! No idea how I landed on this idea but I wanted to avoid the low hanging fruit of known actual animation errors. Realized later this would also fit for the bonus day 😅 #transformers #toyphotography

#sevendaysofprime day 2 - Prime your favorite fembot For this day I went for a recreation of the scene from TF One, where Elita1 gives Orion a pep talk. One of my favorite scenes from the movie. Recreated with the ThreeZero MDLX figures #transformers #toyphotography

"The light is small, yes. But still mighty." #sevendaysofprime day 1 - G1 homage #transformers #toyphotography #maccadam

Decepticons! Rise Up! Of course the first thing I had to do with ThreeZero MDLX Megatron is recreate this iconic shot. #transformers #toyphotography #maccadam

The puppet #transformers #toyphotography #maccadam

Just got ThreeZero MDLX D16/Megatron. Now the wait for Badassatron starts #transformers #toyphotography
