Extreme Sets Sector 09 Pop-Up Diorama – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on February 3, 2017 at 10:00 am by Joe Moore under General Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Our newest Extreme Sets gallery delves into the sci-fi realm. Today we’re looking at their Sector 09 Pop-Up diorama display set. This set is part of their Multiverse Collection Wave 1. The set includes six 12″ tall by 20″ wide panels and four pop-up cubes. As with the previous sets, you can piece these panels together as you see fit. Connecting all six together yields you a backdrop that is 126″ wide! The Sector 09 set is designed to mainly work with 6″ and 7″ scale action figures, such as items from Marvel Legends, S.H. Figuarts, MAFEX, Marvel Select and NECA. The specific designs of the Sector 09 set work especially well with sci-fi figure lines.

I took this set for a spin, using some of my favorite NECA Aliens and Terminator figures to show how you can display these. There are over 35 photos. Read on to see the gallery and some thoughts on the set.

Extreme Sets – Sector 09 Pop-Up Diorama

Pros

  • Each panel can work on its own
  • Panels are quite large
  • Being able to combine and fold them offers plenty of display options
  • Included industrial cubes are a nice additions
  • Sturdy
  • Great sci-fi designs

Cons

  • Cube surfaces bow just a bit

Overall
I’ve always enjoyed using dioramas and backdrop pieces in my photo shoots. After years of photographing on static white, gray and then black backgrounds, you start to look for ways to add depth and dimension to your photos. Keeping things fun is my main goal when photographing a figure, statue or collectible. Normally I’d use print outs, smaller cardboard dios or cobbled together displays using artificial plants and DST dio pieces. With the Extreme Sets, I always saw some huge potential in what they were doing. By larger panels that can bend when attached, all while looking fairly natural made these really tempting.

With the Sector 09 set, I saw some great possibilities for use in NECA photo shoots, especially as it related to Aliens. The panel  art on these gave off a visual very similar to the movies space crafts and even the LV-426 colony interiors. The art is extremely clean, detailed and colorful where needed. Also, the art on the panels offered some nice variety, from a cargo bay door, a window into space and static walls and panels. Connecting the pieces is easy enough. Just bend the right edge of the panel along the guided edge and inset one of the other panels into the slot. You can now bend it in both directions at the connection point. The cubes simply pop up and fold the edges in. The cubes, though, do bow along some of the surfaces. It’s not troublesome, but can be noticeable.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well these panels worked. the semi-matte finish prevents lights from heavily reflecting, and the thick cardboard keeps the panels very flat and sturdy. I was so impressed with what I had seen, that I wound up buying one of the Alley Pop-Up sets for myself. If you’re looking for a no-fuss shelf display or something to use in your own photo shoots, then I think you’ll be fairly satisfied with these.

    These are awesome! I was definitely one of those Instagram people
    I too own the Deranged Alley set. I really enjoy these, but yeah the banding kinda sucks. You only see it on solid areas or when the lighting is real bright. I have had success with using lights on the sides or above, not so much with direct(front)lighting.
    I'm really looking forward to the Abandoned House set. Looks like a perfect background for Horror, especially Resident Evil!

    Oh wow, the Control Center is pretty much the Ark set that the SDCC Dinobots came in.
    Those are absolutely superb, I think I need them in my life.

    Yeah, I messed with it, but they don't really train too much inside. I want like Namek outside, or like a generic mountain desert area in they style of the show. You know, the areas that get blowd up constantly.

    The beauty I perceive in toy photography is best expressed on a scale of how many swear words they make me inexplicably shout.
    And those newest photos are a quadruple F Bomb plus.

    I really do want the Transformers set, but as a primarily MP collector, I'd want them to be taller like you said in the first review. Ultra Magnus probably is as tall as them. I kinda think it'd be awesome if you had a full G1 toy crew, that's probably the perfect height for them.

    Thanks man, appreciate it. Had a lot of fun with these sets. Could focus on the money shots without all the base technical stuff.

    Agreed. That set looks great for Generations or G1 sizes, but MP will be tight. A 2 story one like their building one coming out in that style would be ideal for MP tho.

    While the action photography is truly amazing, I really wish they'd gotten some more "Nuts & Bolts" shots on this sewer set. I loved the picture in the Deranged Alley review that had multiple scale figures in front of the panels. Helped me gauge the size of it so much better. I'm primarily a 1:18 collector, and was considering this set as "fudge-able" to my scale, but can't really tell from these photos.

    Has anybody heard if they have any down-sizing plans? I would buy the heck out of these at 2/3 their size.

    I'm beyond excited for the "Command Station" and "Nela Laevel 06" sets though, those look like they will work fantastically for my purposes as is.

    4" look a little small, may be a deal breaker at that price.
