This is possibly the most challenging monthly photo competition I've seen in a while! Each submission is either an excellent photo, a clever idea, or simply funny! I'll find it difficult to make a choice.
"Ambush" is an excellent photo, with perfect lighting, an impressively realistic jungle setting, and exceptional costuming. The fit and in-scale drape of the fabric of the costumes is top-notch, and the posing has a realistic sense of weight and balance.
"Flesh Wound" is funny and clever, with a "meta" sense of the figures being aware of their figure-ness, and dealing with the inescapable necessity of needing occasional repairs and tune-ups as the years exact their toll.
"Tank" - what can I say? It's a 1/6-scale tank, and is there anything more cool among action figure vehicles than realistic tanks? Let me answer that for you: no, there's not, tanks are the coolest.
"Life Form Readings" captures the color and mystery and fun of "old school" Doctor Who episodes, with that gigantic web suggesting mystery and terror... fun-type terror... ahead! The K-9 unit offers a nice throwback to the 1970s Who years. Effective posing of The Doctor figure as he scans for anomalies with his trusty sonic screwdriver.
"Bad Boys" is a fun one, with a selection of brightly colored, cartoon-style villain figures posed against a colorfully illustrated cartoon-style cherry pie box! I like the way the pie seems to suggest a volcanic island rising from the sea.
"Attacked By Robots" - it was bound to happen at some point! Poor Alex, we will miss him! How many of us, I wonder, have had similar nightmares, where our figures come to life and turn against us for the indignities and offences we have inflicted upon them over the years? The amount of time and patience that went in to setting up this scene must have been significant.
"Scramblin'" offers an example of the effective placement of a miniature action figure in a real world setting. "But wait... those trees look so big!" Yes, the trees do look big, but if you've ever visited the giant Redwood and Sequoia groves in northern California, in their mossy temperate rain forest setting, you know that trees of this relative size are quite plausible. The Forest of Endor scenes from the Star Wars saga were filmed among such giant treescapes.
"Can I Keep Them" - Uhmmm... isn't that a doll, not an action figure? But then, there are what appear to be real live dead animals, which is appropriately creepy for the Halloween season.
So many outstanding submissions this round! What a challenge to pick just one!
