Anyone here used to collect GI Joe/Action Man stuff as a kid? Or, for that matter, Barbie, or whatever?
I had tons of Action Man gear and one of the things all my friends and I would do is set all the stuff out, as if for some improbable military mission. Hard to imagine something that'd need a space capsule, a jet ski, mountaineering gear, inflatable boat and explosives. Oh hold on, that's a basic James Bond plot. :)
Which makes me think, how about trying a render for each figure with all the stuff specific to that model also in there? Not necessarily using the stuff, although I guess you'd get some amusement out of Victoria 2/3/4, looking through a wardrobe full of dresses, shoes, undies, scuba gear, space suits and the like. I guess some of the pics would be fairly simple; for example, I have only the stuff that came with some models, such as F202.
Some of the stuff I have, I say to myself "What the hell was I thinking when I bought that?" Then again, Batlab's kit is generally worth getting and his freestuff is legendary. I think I ran out of steam with the Fighting Sweeper, though. I could not for the life of me think of a time I'd need to render that particular outfit.
