The PopCult Toybox
Here is the long-promised PopCult JoeLanta Diorama and custom figure photo essay. Many, many thanks go to Dave “Tanker” Matteson who spearheaded the custom figure and diorama contest and got me the master list of all entries.
Keep in mind that these are photos of entries from all different age groups. We mixed in the work of kids with the work of professional model-builders. You might be surprised at who’s who.
I do have to point out one of my own failings. Some of my photos were too out-of-focus to use. I get so excited at being around so many cool toys that I occasionally vibrate without realizing it. If I missed getting a picture of one of the entries, or if you have better photos than mine that you’d like to share (or corrections if I messed something up) drop me an email at rudypan@suddenlink.net and we will revisit the JoeLanta dioramas in a week or two. I need to run pictures of the big dioramas too.
The video above is the raw footage that we shot, set to music by Punk Jazz because I’ve been in the mood to listen to Chuck Biel’s music a lot lately. And now, the photos…
Bryan Tatum built a cannon to help this year’s exclusive figure, Col. Caliber, become airborne.
Jack Hall’s two-room Man Cave blew us away with the level of detail.
