As someone who simply cannot comprehend the whole, "Collecting" thing of anything...I can comment on the photographic aspect?Background clutter distracts from the display, could have been fixed with better framing of the subject so as not to cut off the bottom of the map, or the head of the figure, perhaps clean off the table before hand next time? Too much light washes out the mood set with the candles, I would suggest setting up for the shot at night, maybe add a pair more candles, mount the camera on a tripod. Pull the camera back a bit.However, the angles are good, it gives a good overview of the map, the booklet, case and the figure. Maybe a slightly lower camera angle, and it might be perfect. The horizontal angle is again, quite nice, and pleasing. I am getting the feelng that the focus is caught on the uper portion of the figurine, if you have manual focus, I would try to set it deeper into the image, give the writing on the booklet and dvd case a bit more crispness. If you have Aperture control, perhaps tighting the Aperture to F:8 to give you more depth of field to work with. If you don't? Try setting the camera to single-focus mode, aim the camera to the feet of the figure or some of the test, press the shutter half way to lock in the focus, and then re-frame the shot. Should help contribute to a better presentation.

yeeeeeah fuck all that. I dumped the box out on my kitchen table and ravenously carved through each of the seven individual plastic wraps with an ACTUAL BAYONET, then threw them down in an approximate layout and took a SNAPBUCKET with my iphone. That is the extent of the thought that went into this. Well -- at one point I saw the bread in the background and thought 'Have I eaten today? I should make a sandwich." But by then the 'unboxing photo' was done and it was time to play dark souls, so I went on a diet.
