Talk about messed up.

About a week later I got a slip for a package I missed that was unrelated to the other package. Funny thing is, even though it was my package, it had the wrong address. Same house number different street. I was curious so I walked over there and lo and behold, my package was still sitting on the doorstep of these strangers house. When I went to pick up my package boy did they hear from me. End result post office won't leave any packages for me unless I open the door to receive them regardless if they need signature or not. Honestly, with my post office I'd much rather this. The worst part is that they aren't in the least bit even careful in their job, and the amount of attitude they have is ridiculous. This same post office once told me on a package that they forgot to scan, (and as a result had no tracking up until the point it reached the door of the person it was being sent to), that I should have been watching to make sure it was scanned. Are you kidding? I have to make sure you do your job?

Anyways sorry for the long rant, and hopefully you get your package. What I recommend is going around to addresses very similar to yours and asking if they have your package

.

Yeah, I remember that, because it was the package I sent to you. Going around to other addresses really isn't possible, but I'm going to call again in a little bit. I know they aren't going to care, but hopefully I can get something accomplished.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm still learning . A figure photography thread is indeed an idea and half. A great place for sharing tips and results.

they still have the case of 12 though...that's what i did.

i don't want to trek all over southern california again....it was sooooo HOT!! and its just gonna get hotter

i hit every tRu in a 60 mile radius(10+), about 8 Targets, and 4 Walmarts(prior to the 'check the item numbers' option was made available to us by some fantastic board members, thanks again!)....oh, and one bi-weekly mass comic/toy gathering....i'm still very psyched about the retro's, but the 200+ mi / 3 day hunt was plenty for me this round obtaining the Nick Set & the Storage Shell set....only if this was released in like Jan it wouldn't be so damn hot!

they look really cool together.

I photograph action figures as if they were human models. I take the same framing concepts and apply it to a motionless being. I think it's fitting to the way I treat and think of my figures, though not necessarily appropriate for an objective review.

I've always liked Leo the most, even though I think the turtles as a whole are one of the best teams...ever..

As great as the new figs are something has been bother me. So I figure it out. I switched up Donnie and Leo. Donnie's head mold is the most "mature" looking one. And the closed mouth screams LEO to me. So a little switching before I finish painting them up.

Great idea. And with these, it's as simple as just popping the head off. Now, if I can learn how to paint, I'd love to do that.

Only flaw is that Leo's head certainly doesn't scream "Don." Props for changing things up, though. I plan on giving my figures the ol' Red Team treatment, once I get my hands on them.

I think this made Don to bulky, but you still did a great job.

On a side note, got any close ups of that Raph????

Actually, I had to switch the belts, just switching the heads would leave the skin colors completely off.. but if doing a full repaint then it is all good.

Well, Don's head screams Leo. I think the Leo head is a better fit.. and yeah these guys need the red team look. These are my favorite new turtles oter than Neca,

I think it fits him better..a little thick book worm

I will have pics of all the guys when I am done. I am doing a "real" turtle pattern the shell of these guys. It will be different for sure but something I have wanted to do for a while.

Forgot to ask but do his elbows bend like the turtles?
