Tomopop About Town: It's Not a Doll, It's an Action Figure Show
This past Saturday, I had the chance to check out the latest show at the Bear and Bird Gallery in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Located inside of Tate's Comics, an Eisner Award-winning store, the latest show featured toys as not just playthings, but as kick-ass pieces of art. Across each wall of the upstairs gallery were gorgeous shots. From Voltron to Star Wars to He-Man, many childhood memories were displayed in these portraits. I would like to extend a special thank you to Bear and Bird Gallery, curator Mrs. A. Pants, and Tomopop user tCi for joining me and taking pictures of this event. The exhibit will be on display until July 31st, so stop by to see them for yourself and possibly take one home, as several of the pieces are for sale! Hit the jump for a special tour of the gallery by Mrs. A. Pants and be sure to check out the photo gallery below! Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)They didn't have any actual action figure displays set up or anything? A number of comic figure collectors have aptly pointed out that action figures are basically interactive art capable of 3D displays. Because we're all operating online, we have to rely on videos and photos to convey that information but those same restrictions really don't apply to offline locations so it'd be depressing if they didn't leverage that part of the medium. 9:00 PM on 05.22.2013 One last look at Hidamari Sketch's figma YunoYou know it's a problem when the usually photo-happy figma blog struggles to find interesting ways to show off one of their figures.
