FIG PHOATO: “ATag Team”

 


The hot tag. The hallmark of tag team wrestling.

VACATION FIG PHOTO CATCHUP: Part 5


OK. Days 26 and 27 and I’ll post the finale normal-like later.

Da6 26 was “Facebuster”, and a stinkface will bust your face. Debated who’d be funniest. Even asked online and got no suggestions. So I went with Daredevil because the last thing you want in this situation is enhanced senses.



 “Giant Swing”

Literal interpretation! Anyway, I used one (technically two) of my Waikiki Beach pictures for this and when I posed it on Bluesky some bullshit coffee shop doing searches on words saw “waikiki” in the alt text and dropped into the replies. Fuckin’ internet.

VACATION FIG PHOTO CATCHUP: Part 4

“Head Submission”

This is the first one I shot after I got back from vacation. As you can see, I was not putting a ton of effort into coming up with unique interesting concepts. I had a giant head. I used a giant head. 


“Neckbreaker”

This prompt gave me the most trouble, because I was gonna uese TwoBad for it because he has two necks, but then I used him for Superkick so that was out. The choices for this were almost exclusively based on “needing to dig in this bin anyway” but I’m a bit surprised at how nice it turned out.


“DDT”

This I knew from the start was gonna be the idea, and I could get away with it because I’d already built out the background for my Human Fly gotchapic back in the day, so it was just a bit of posing and adjustment and green fog.



“Bulldog”

Black Taurus is a bull. Cosmo is a dog. Get it? 

This is one where the virtual ring really failed me, or I failed it, but this was still early enough last week that I wan’t rife with energy or effort. 

VACATION FIG PHOTO CATCHUP: Part 3

“Chokeslam”

Outfitting Brody King in his CMLL Abolish Ice gear was fun. I used the Eddie Guerrero tank top, the dog collar chain from the Briscoes 2-pack (balled up and tucked under the back of the shirt) and then digitally replaced the shirt front. 


“Leg Submission”

I think easily this is my favorite from the entire month. Especially when I pulled up the reference shot from The Graduate and saw Hoffman standing there in a VERY Orange Cassidy pose.


“Piledriver”

I realized, in retrospect, that I could have added a whole other layer of Tombstone giving a Tombstone to a flat-headed guy by getting out a Monster Force stand which is shaped like… a tombstone! Ah well. Missed opportunity.



 “Stunner”

The effects piece is from one of the new Super Action Stuff sets, the sci-fi accessories one. The Austin is a janky old 90’s fig but I’ve been hesitant to replace him on account of, you know. All his wife beating.
