Extreme Sets Nela Level 6 Photo Review

Posted on May 21, 2017 at 2:13 pm by Tony_Bacala under General Toy News

Extreme Sets have been a highlight of the collecting community over the last year or so, putting out high quality pop up dioramas designed for collectible figures of all kinds. They’ve recently released Wave 3 of the sets, which include the Command Station (for 3.75 scale figures), Nela Level 6 (alien ship), Headquarters (Evil Robot Base), and the Locker Room. We took a look at the Command Station already over on HissTank.com so check that out as well.

Today we are looking at their Nela Level 6 set. It’s another HUGE set, one that deviates from the standard fare. The back walls are actually 3D in nature, with an overhang, ledge, and even some structural beams. They connect with a differently shaped center piece, and come with 3 large floors. On top of that, 2 of the large pieces can be connected to form a tunnel! It’s definitely one of their most complex yet and makes for an impressive display. Read on to check out some additional thoughts and over 40 HD shots!

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! They are also offering free shipping on orders over 120 USD with an email sign up at the moment.

Overall Thoughts:

The Level 6 set is impressive in it’s scale. Designed for 6 inch figures, it spans 4+ feet wide, and 11 inches tall. The floor pieces will shoot out a bit from there too. The backdrop is not just a flat piece of art this time, it gives the whole set up some depth. I think this set is great for those looking for a semi-permanent display piece, one where you want to tuck in a ton of figures. The open flooring, roofing, and ledges give you plenty of places to work your figures in. From a photography angle, I really dug the alternative configuration of the tunnel. It provided new angles and shots not easily accomplished without a full diorama in most cases. The only thing negative about the whole set is also it’s main selling point, the complexity. For me, I like to set up and break down quick for shoots. This requires a bit more time to get going as every piece is 3D and requires multiple steps to set up. If you are just looking for a collection piece, this is perfect. If you don’t mind a session for setup to get the cool shots, also great. For quick on-the-fly photography, not the best.

That being said, the flooring is great and if you plan on using the full set every once and a while, the floors can be used with other sets more regularly.

Check out some key shots, along with a set up video below. Full set here!

    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.
