Hot Toys – MMS132 - Iron Man 2: Mark VI full spec and pics

[Centurion]

I know what you mean....my camera is bad too because I have to use my flash on all of the pics to even get a remotely decent pic.....all of these camera junkies in here have some great equipment....I'm looking at upgrading to a T3i soon hopefully....the wife already has given the go sign for that project....

Yo, jump on that now before she changes her mind or uses the money herself on new shoes and bags.
The Canon T3i is a great DSLR.

Also agree with the Mark V, though my shelf seems to be maxxed out atm. And then there is the mark 2 AUV

Yes, these two are a must buy for me.
I was floored when I read the announcement of the Mk.II AU. That was a dream come true because I missed the original Mk.II.

I won't miss it twice.

At first glance, I was trying to figure out why the right arm of your 1/6 War Machine looked like a minigun.

That's an awesome collection buddy!

Do you have the Mech Test Tony and Whiplash displayed on a different shelf?

The right arm of my War Machine just does not like to stay up higher, I guess the joint is a little loose so it does drop down a bit (which annoys me to no end).

Yes, I have the Mech test & Whiplash currently in a Detolf, though I'll be rearranging everything soon b/c of the new 1/6's coming (Bruce Lee's, Jack Sparrows, Thor & Odin) and have some custom shelves & displays in the pipeline too.

In other words, I'm a freaking mess

Thanks buddy.

Yeah, I wish I had PS too.
A friend of mine offered to give me PS Elements 2. Very outdated, but at least it's free.

What are you using for digital processing then? Lightroom?

 

[Centurion]

This is really pathetic, but I do any post processing with whatever the program is that comes with Microsoft Vista. Very basic, like brightness, contrast, and cropping.

Lightroom? Is this freeware?

Lightroom? Is this freeware?

No. It's premium software by Adobe. There is a trial available though.

Thanks vodoun, for the link.

Wow, $300 USD.

So you're not even processing the raws from your camera? Are you letting the camera convert to jpg or something? If you don't have raw processing capabilities I'd highly suggest getting software that does. If you where on a Mac I would suggest Aperture which is only $80 and pretty much the same program as Lightroom.

Yes, they're being converted to jpeg by the cam. A very modest Canon XTi.
If I can get a halfway decent photo editor, I'd shoot in RAW.

 

[Geil]

don't all DSLRs come with their own postprocessing software?

 

[Agentofchaos]

Looks like the Mark VI that I got from Forbidden Planet is from the first batch i.e. BD chest piece doesn't sit flush. I know a lot of early adopters were running into this - did you guys just just contact hot toys directly to get it replaced?
