Hasbro Pulse : Razor Crest

Hasbro Pulse : Razor Crest

Fans of The Mandalorian on Disney+ will recognize that the iconic Razor Crest is the ship that Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) relies on to get him across the galaxy. It has become yet another iconic space ship familiar within the Star Wars universe. Hasbro and Lucasfilm teamed up to make this ship available as a toy via HasLab. The Star Wars The Vintage Collection Razor Crest, was the second HasLab Star Wars project crowdfunded by fans.

Inspired by the project, I created this toy photo as a way to share my excitement about being a backer of the Razor Crest. I wondered how Mando and the Child would pass the time if they too were waiting on it to arrive. As I built my own ships out of boxes as a child, I figured they might too build their own ship out of a Hasbro Pulse cardboard box.

C3PBROS

It’s always an honor to work with artists that I admire. Tony is someone I have admired for a long time, not only for his incredible work but also for his discipline and motivation. I had the chance to work with Tony to produce some promotional product photos for his line of battle patches. The idea was to create a Godzilla inspired background that would complement the patches while providing a unique visual juxtaposition.

Honyaku Karakuri C-3PO

I was fortunate enough to have early access to the Meisho Honyaku Karakuri C-3PO before it’s official reveal at Star Wars Celebration in 2019. The figure was provided by Bluefin Brands as an official collaboration to help promote the product. One shot was selected and display at the Bluefin Brands booth, along with other work from fellow toy photographers in the community.

The Black Series : 4-LOM

The Black Series : 4-LOM

As Hasbro continues to create new characters and expand it’s Black Series line at an incredible pace, collectors are finally getting the chance to backfill gaps within their collection. For many, 4-LOM was one of several characters introduced that fulfilled that desire.

The Black Series : General Veers

The Black Series : General Veers

Many people might not even know who General Veers is, but for the die hard Star Wars fan that is a different story. Your Toy Link was able to provide early access to this figure, which made creating product shots exciting. We wanted to give customers a unique look at the removable accessories and focus on the new face sculpting and printing technology reflected in this figure.

Hot Toys Captain Phasma

Hot Toys Captain Phasma

Of all characters from the Star Wars sequel saga, Captain Phasma just might have the best armor and overall design. This is beautifully represented in the 1:6 Hot Toys version. I worked with Your Toy Link and Sideshow Collectibles to create a handful of toy photos that showcase the quality and craftsmanship that collectors have come to expect from Hot Toys.

Egg Attack Action : Star Wars

Egg Attack Action : Star Wars

To help promote Beast Kingdom’s Star Wars Egg Attack Action figures, I worked in conjunction with Exclu Collective to produce a series shots featuring the new products. The whimsical proportions and detailed representation of the First Order Troopers add a unique aesthetic to the final shots. Once again, I utilized my digirama technique along with some hand made physical props and GTP Space Walls.

In collaboration with Hasbro, I created several toy photos featuring the products provided, which were used to promote and invigorate the line.

Hot Toys Luke Skywalker

Hot Toys Luke Skywalker

Your Toy Link continues to be a great collaborative partner. The variety of toys and collectibles they have available keep shooting products fun and interesting. I had the chance to help promote Your Toy Link and Sideshow by taking shots of the 1:6 Hot Toys Jedi Luke Skywalker. As a high-end collectible, this figure practically shoots itself, yielding most impressive results.

Meisho Movie Realization : Star Wars

Meisho Movie Realization : Star Wars

One of my favorite action figure collectibles line is the Meisho Movie Realization series produced by Tamashii Nations. The collection re-imagines familiar pop culture characters as they would be in the ancient era of the Samurai. So much creativity and thought is put into each character design and are masterpieces in their own right. I worked with Bluefin Brands to promote the Star Wars products via toy photography.

May the Fourth Print

May the Fourth Print

For the 40th Anniversary of the original Star Wars : A New Hope, Hasbro sent a handful of influencers a promotional box containing a Build Builder lightsaber. The May 4th 2017 promotion was on Star Wars Day also known by fans as “May the Fourth Be With You” Day. I was commissioned by Hasbro to provide a lightsaber inspired image that was included in the promotion as a limited edition print.

Forces of Destiny

Forces of Destiny

Sharing my love for Star Wars with my kids has been a true joy over the years. As a father of two boys and a girl, it has been wonderful seeing the efforts that Disney and Lucasfilm have gone make Star Wars accessible for all. The Forces of Destiny products are designed with girls in mind! I was fortunate enough to be a collaborative partner with Hasbro to help promote the initial wave of characters through my toy photography.

Solo

For the release of Solo : A Star Wars Story Hasbro created a new wave of action figures for its Star Wars The Black Series line. Hasbro sent the initial wave of Solo figures for another official Hasbro Toy Pic collaboration.
