I'm going to nitpick this time bec I am a faiz fan...the folding gimmick is nice but it should be accurate. The chest should not be like bulging or protruding.

@DragonGUN: I purchase my Kiva from MKZ last year...only receive it early this year. I was planning to wait till I get all that I haf ordered from him 2010-2011 before deciding which to open and which to keep MISB but considering what has transpired, I decided to just deal with wat I have now.

Hi bro I ain't really a pro myself, but I guess I can share-share a bit on how I do mine.

Usually for my pictures, I like to take a full body shot with no parts being cropped/cut out (to make it feel more complete). Like the recent ones below with Shadowmoon, I try to make every part of the character and his motorbike to be in the photo. Its just a personal preference. So for example, your band picture (the one with them playing guitar and trumpet... I guess will be better if you managed to get their foot in the shot as well, to see a more complete figure).

For close-ups, its a different case altogether, because the other body parts are not meant to be in the picture cuz you just want a shot of his head/body/hands etc.

I like this shot of yours the best:

because everything is seen, and the focus is clear.

For blurry pics, you can try to play around with the Macro function (if you're using a normal digital camera, like me lol). Like for the action shot, if you keep getting a blurry pic, remove the big Kiva logo at the back first, set and focus on your SIC, put back your logo in the background, then snap the pic. The focus will be on your SIC Kiva.

For outdoor, my preference is usually to have my figure in 1/3 of the photo, while the remaining 2/3 of the photo is just showing the background (to let others know where I've put my toy outside). Like the one below, I try to get a blurry background of the word "One Fullerton", just to remind myself thats where it was taken. lol.

Thats about how I usually do. I'm no professional, don't even have a dslr while shooting outside. Taking picture of toys with normal small camera outside sometimes look funny also. But I like my outcome.

There are other pros here, who knows more about lightings; even shooting them in light boxes. Try asking the pro bros here.
