Extreme Sets The Building Pop Up Photo Review

Posted on March 1, 2017 at 12:14 pm by Tony_Bacala under General Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Extreme Sets make pop up dioramas for use with 6 and 7 inch action figures, and they’ve recently released their second wave of Multiverse (non-wrestling) environments.  Today we are going to start our look at the wave which includes The Building, Subway Terminal, Control Center, and Abandoned House.  The Building is today’s gallery, and marks the first Multiverse offering that differs from the standard 6 panel setup.  For this set, we get 4 2-story-tall panels, a rooftop, and doorway extra.  It makes for a HUGE set up and is really a sight to behold.  Read on to check out some quick thoughts and over 60 HD pics!

Also of note: The fine folks at Extreme-Sets.com have given us a coupon code for a discount on your orders. Enter code TOYARK at checkout and get 10% off your order!

Extreme Sets The Building Pop Up

Overall Thoughts

Wow.  So, the previous round was big because they wrapped around, or allowed for a 10 foot wide backdrop on a shelf.  The Building is huge because it’s TALL.  We are at 2 feet plus with this thing, at 20 inches wide (per panel).  It can wrap around into a cube and form a full building.  Or, you can panel it out to use as a 2-story alley way or street.

In my previous review, I mentioned that one of the main things I’d like to see was a 2 story tall offering, because when shooting from ground level the angles often show the backdrop ending.  Well, this perfectly addresses that.  You can shoot up at the figures and the entire background should be building.  And that’s awesome.

While the building form is cool, I preferred using it as an alleyway, unfolded.  The building may be good in the future as a backdrop of a backdrop, for use with their upcoming smaller 1 story building and the Deranged alleyway.  It can tower above both in the far back.   For now, I’m happy just positioning 2/3 panels at a time.

The roof is tricky to get together and tight.  I put mine together and shot before seeing the below videos.  It is possible to get it tight and sharp, so watch those before you put yours together for the first time, it will help for sure.  They also give you a sense of how big this thing is, so worth a watch.

Bottom line, another awesome piece.   These things have really sparked my photography up a bit, it’s more fun shooting and playing with light in the environments these create.   And when not in use for Photography, I’ve got a couple panels set up on my shelves as themed backdrops.  So it’s win win.

Check out some key shots below, and the full set after that!

    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.

    Thanks! I appreciate that. The DOJO may work good with DBZ.

    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.

    That sewer would be good for Croc or Lizard.

    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.
