This week’s photoshoot features several G.I. Joe Classified figures and several diorama pieces. I like to imagine a bit of a story for this one. Dr. Mindbender and Cobra are kidnapping Joes and subjecting them to the evil Dr’s mind control experiments. Stalker and Scarlett are coming to rescue. However, they must first defeat Baroness, Storm Shadow, and some Blue Ninjas!

I’ve been getting more and more into dioramas as of late. I really like using them in action figure photography, which has become an interest of mine over the past year or two. I’ve yet to try my hand at handcrafting any diorama pieces, though I have been considering an attempt. I have been buying diorama pieces, though. I recently picked up a diorama of a jail cell made by Fext System. You have to assemble the jail cell, almost like lego blocks. Fortunately, it’s a fairly simple assembly, and the instructions are easy to follow. I do recommend carefulness while assembling the actual jail cell bars/door. I didn’t damage mine, but I can see that if too much pressure is put on the top of the bar-panels, the resistance of the pegs sliding into the holes could cause the panel to bend. So, just exercise some caution there. Other than that, it was fairly quick, easy, and the thing looks pretty great in the end. The diorama also comes with extra parts to connect multiple pieces. In theory, you could create an entire cellblock with these (at about $50 per cell, that is).

Rather than looking back at 2022, I wanted to take some time to look forward to the new year. In this video, I’ve compiled a lis of the various G.I. Classified releases I think we are likely to see arrive in 2023. I also talk a bit about the channel and 1134 Comix in general, and I’m shooting from a new space (well, kind of).
If you liked this video, make sure to subscribe for more. I will also be posting more shorts in 2023–these will be mostly diorama photography and storytelling with (mostly) G.I. Joe Classified figures.
It’s been a wild week of Haslab drama. And of course, I have some thoughts. It isn’t looking great for the Marvel Legends Ghost Rider Project. I mean, it might squeak through by the end, but if so, it will be without Robbie. Either way, I’m not super interested in this project personally. I am, however, interested in the direction Hasbro is going with these projects. I think we need to speak with our wallets if we want Hasbro to listen.
Check out today’s video for all my thoughts on this topic!
In other news:
It’s been a couple weeks now since I’ve had a chance to take any new figure pics. As such, I haven’t made any new Reels for IG. It’s been way, way longer since I’ve made a new web-comic. I can’t wait to get back to making some art. I picked up a new diorama recently that I really want to take some pictures with, and I also have some drawings that I need to get to.
I started reorganizing and rearranging the studio, which is taking much longer than I hoped to finish. With everything in disarray, it’s kind of hard to really be productive in the studio space. Once I finish, though, I’ll finally be able to get back to work. I will soon be featuring the new diorama in some photos, and I will likely feature it in a video as well. The drawing I referenced above is for a book project that I have in the works. Once finished, it will be published through 1134 Press. I also plan to share some of that process here. Also, Halloween is on the horizon. This wouldn’t be 1134 Comix if a Halloween themed web-comic didn’t drop in late October. So, stay tuned for all that.
