The set was actually much bigger with more things going on but when I shot it, the main point (this) ended up being so small it was hard to tell what was going on. Luckily I had this closeup to save the shoot.

Catalog or portrait shots are nice and all, but they don't hold my attention very long. The pics I really enjoy by other toy photographers are the ones the tell a story. When you look at them they suck you in and spark your imagination, make you wonder "How did they get in this situation? What's going to happen next?"

I was pretty much going to say what AnimatedPlastic said, but he beat me to it! :)

It is an awesome set though, and the lighting gives it a real sense of creepiness! I hope for Flint and LJ’s sake there’s a rescue on the way!

Epilogue_
Dr. Mindbender may be the brilliant scientist behind some of Cobra's nastier, more powerful devices and weapons, but he is also the "genius" who put a 1-lb. block of C-4 in Cobra Commander's helmet as an anti-tampering "safeguard." This time, his absent-mindedness will be his undoing. The Commander repeatedly warned him of the folly of trying certain elements of the super-soldier project on captured Joe prisoners, but in his great and rather warped zeal the Doctor forgot this and pushed ahead with the experiments.
Now, as the phase-modulated megavolts of electricity crash through Flint's neural paths, a dormant area of his mind awakes, and an unnatural strength consumes him…
—
As he slowly emerges from his mental fog, Flint is at once baffled and frightened at what he sees. Nothing he's witnessed in combat compares to the carnage in the destroyed lab. Everything is shattered. The 1,000-lb. experiment table in the center of the room has literally been folded in half, and the Cobras… most have been reduced to bloody smears on the floor and walls. One of the Crimson Guards from the prisoner security detail has been torn in half, and Dr. Mindbender is all over half the lab. "W-what happened?…" Flint stammers, as he realizes he's covered in blood. "What the hell happened here? Did I-…" "Come on," a familiar voice says as Lady Jaye emerges from behind a pile of debris. "We'll discuss this… later. Right now, the extraction team is outside, and we need to get you out of here and back to base ASAP. Doc'll patch you up then. Come on …"

A picture is worth a thousand words, and Lordy, these stand-alone pics can be some great imagination fuel. They're like silent episodes. Keep it up!

Dear me, but that does look unpleasant. Those guards better not slacken their grip, or LJ will be exchanging pleasentries.

Love the use of the Darth Vader Table and the Probe Droid arms. I also like your use of the Star Trek console. I have the same components, minus the probe droid for the exact same reason. Another fine job! I am actually enjoying the single photo story that you are telling as well. Who knew you could tell such a story without any words…..:D

Finally he can get rid of that dolphin tail that has been stinking up the joint!

Looks like this mind is about to get bent!
