Pokemon Zukan / Zuken Collection Update

[maxarceus]

Good day everyone!

A couple months have passed since October the 25th, and that means it's time for another collection update! As always there's plenty of new stuff to show including a whopping  NINE 10/10 items!

I've also gotten yet another step closer to owning all bird Pokemon! Some really gorgeous stuff coming.

This post will be massively

Seriously though how come all your pics are such good quality?
Mine are always fuzzy. Even when I try!

[maxarceus]

I use a Nikon D80, which is a decent camera, but honestly, it's really outdated by now. It's like 15 years old or something. There's far better consumer cameras nowadays. The Eevee set often costs like 120 euros or so. Billy Mays, a (dead and) popular tellcell commercial guy known for always saying "HI BILLY MAYS HERE!" when introducing himself and "But wait! There's more!" when seemingly having reached the end when going over the features of whatever product he's advertising

That’s spooky-
for the past two weeks I’ve had this picture on my work shelf:

Congratulations! Amazing gets! Awesome photos! I really liked reading your comments on them too, because you go into so much detail. It's hard for me to pick a fave, but I especially like the cave and water scenes. Wow!

[maxarceus]

Thank you!! I agree with it being hard to pick a favorite, but fortunately, we don't have to! ^o^

Absolutely wonderful photos and collection! Those custom zukan are amazing.

So envious of your Archen set in particular, I let it slip through my fingers and never found it for sale again XD

[maxarceus]

Thank you! I agree, they are, and about Archen, I thought the same. But every now and then I see one pop up on either Taobao or Yahoo Auction Japan. Lurk around there, and sooner or later you'll see one for sale again.

[hawlucha]

Oooh I never considered looking on Yahoo Auctions, despite me stumbling upon the custom Alolan rats zukan on there. I'll keep an eye out, thanks!

[maxarceus]

Actually, I see there's one on there right now :o

WOW your photos are stunning! Absolutely worth all the time and effort you put into them. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful collection and talent for photographs! <3 I love seeing Zukan next to each other so you can really see the scale of all the Pokemon.

[maxarceus]

I'm glad all the effort wasn't in vain then!

Very nice pics! I assume Gyarados is the same size as the original release Zukan, is this one more detailed? I have the original but I'm tempted to buy the Poke Studio one. Also can you remove Mega Gyarados from it's base?

[maxarceus]

Thank you! I don't have the original Gyarados zukan, but given they're both scale 1/40, I assume they're the same size; they certainly look to be given photos I've seen.
YES! The Mega Gyarados can indeed be seemlessly removed from the water, which I'm very happy about, I really hadn't expected that. The tail slides into the main body through the water, leaving some room for the thickness of the water to in between, but it _can_ slide in all the way when the water's not in the way, making it seemless.

That's awesome, if you ever end up taking a pic of it without the base I would love to see it!
