That's how I figured you did the lighting.
I think the only way to "solve" this is to place a tiny but powerful LED light on the little guy's head. Or position the light behind the wall more above the two figures. Definitely a tough shot when shadows are involved.

I could also crush the blacks in his outfit and make the shadow blend/disappear better.
Goes to show that I need to stop rushing. Good eye.

Really cool shot. Perfect Mindbender!
Is that blue figure a Viper?

Good photo, but SF needs background characters watching the fights.

Youre not wrong and I thought about it.
But ultimately this was to show off two new figures that went up for preorder yesterday, but magically a few targets in so cal got them.
I need to do a lot more with the SF figs. Including crowds like the shot I posted a month or two ago.

What other arms does Dhalism come with? I'm guessing they can be pretty wild.

Just got these in. Been waiting forever for them. I have a lot of TMNT somehow.
To me this is the definitive set. So expressive (3 heads each) sooooo many accessories. And so much articulation. Just had to get a quick iPhone snap.

I love these TMNT figures. OG is the best. I bought the original TMNT trade paperback recently. Still haven't had time to read it though.

Took me awhile to figure out these are the android foot soldiers and not human foot soldiers.
Yeah, I think the electricity sfx needs some work.

Here is the non fx version. Which probably works better.

Yeah, that's better. But the heavier motion blur in the original also worked.
I guess sparks might be too dangerous for the toys (and your house) if you tried practical effects.

I got lazy. I can always add the motion blur back.
im envious of the people who can really create on photoshop and blend it. It’s a tough skill

Wow, I was wondering how you made the head pose like that before I scrolled to the last image.
