Extreme Sets – Abandoned House Pop-Up Diorama – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on March 3, 2017 at 10:11 am by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

We’re back with a new gallery for one of the Extreme Sets Pop-Up Dioramas. With my latest photo shoot, I take a look at the Abandoned House Pop-Up Diorama, which Extreme sets provided for review. This set features six 12″ tall by 20″ wide panels as well as a pop-up bookcase. Each panel depicts a dilapidated wall, complete with peeling wallpaper, broken drywall, creepy doors and windows. The panels can be connected and combined in numerous ways to create a spooky haunted house, perfect for many horror figures in 6″ to 7″ scale. If you connected every piece together with this set, it would create a backdrop that is 126″ wide! I put this set through the paces, using a few horror figures from NECA to highlight how well this sets works with them.

Extreme Sets – Abandoned House Pop-Up Diorama

Pros

  • Very sharp printing
  • Wallpaper looks eerily realistic
  • Massive set
  • Versatile pieces allow for hallways, corridors or odd shaped rooms
  • Bookcase features printing on both sides for added display options

Cons

  • Bookcase doesn’t always sit flush against wall

Overall
This wound up being another really fun dio display from Extreme Sets. With so many horror figures out and more on the horizon, finding the right way to display them can be tough. As someone who photographs figures for reviews, I love setting up scenes. Normally I was using a mix of dio pieces from DST, print outs, smaller dio pieces that are included with the figures or my own cobbled together  pieces. Now this Abandoned House dio is going to be another tool for use in those types of photo shoots.

The panels here feature crisp graphics that mesh well together, looking even more realistic than the alleyway or Sector 09 sets. The damaged hallways walls include peeling wallpaper, exposed drywall and cracks and holes. A few of the panels include different doors, with some being opened. There are also some windows, complete with nighttime outdoor scenes already depicted. Due to the nature of the designs, you create cramped hallways, giant rooms or even a creepy hotel space. The bookcase features double sided printing, with the back looking like a gray wood grain. This can be used to create hidden doorways, pushed against the wall or as an added mid-room display piece. The thicker cardboard used causes those small flaps on the bottom to be bowed slightly, so a little extra work will be needed to flatten that out so it can sit more flush against the wall.

I really can’t ask for much more with this. The set works surprisingly well well an assortment of horror figures. If you happen to own any of the Diamond Select Toys office diorama pieces (included with Gotham and x-Files figures), then you an get really creative here. Check out some highlight photos below and the full gallery 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.

    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.
