Extreme Sets Sewer 2.0 Pop Up Diorama Photo Review

Posted on September 19, 2019 at 3:07 pm by Tony_Bacala under General Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Extreme Sets have been putting out great stuff for years now, currently on wave 7 of their Multiverse series of dioramas. They are cardboard based environments meant to be reconfigured and expanded based on your needs. They work great in toy photography and as display areas in your collection space. We’ve been using them in our shoots since Wave 1, they allowed us to take things to the next level. You can check all our Extreme Sets features here.

Today we are taking a look at the Sewer 2.0. The original was really good, perfect for TMNT and Killer Croc themed setups. Anything creepy crawly will work with these. 2.0 expands on the style with two big hallways and some blocks that can work as bridges, not to mention multiple flooring pieces. They can be configured different ways to maximize space or style. The artwork features bricks, grime, pipes, graffiti, grates and more, all perfect sewer elements.

We’ve run these for some shots to show what they can do, read on to check out over 70 HD images after the break courtesy of Extreme Sets!

Also of note – Wave 8 is now up for Pre-Order. These will include Dojo 2.0, Building 5.0, G-Bar, and The Cabin. All of which look great, again. Check them out here!

Feel free to use code TOYARK at checkout over at Extreme-Sets.com, you’ll get 15% off your order if you do!

Posted on September 18, 2019 at 10:51 am by Joe Moore under Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toy News

Super7 has announced that their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 7″ Scale Figures will go up for pre-order beginning on October 1st. Their figures, which debuted at Power Con last month, are based on the classic 1980’s toy line from Playmates. Unlike NECA’s 7″ scale offerings, which are based on their cartoon and live action movie appearances, the Super7 figures take their aesthetic directly from the vintage figures. While they share similar designs to the classic toys, the new figures from Super7 will feature modern articulation, paint apps, interchangeable parts, and an assortment of weapons. We will update with more details as they become available.
