Over to you, Alex!

I started in 2016. I started with four, which has now turned into 4,000.

My very first Chase was the Freddy Krueger Chase.

And here my first proto, Jake Portman. I absolutely love this one because it was the start of the prototype collection I have today.

Then I have my favorite TV show The Simpsons. I love Bart Simpson, so it was natural I add his voice actress Nancy Cartwright to my collection.

Then we have my favorite Disney character Donald Duck out of the Fab 5, so it was only natural to add his voice actor to the original Donald, making him the most expensive signed piece in my collection.

Then my very first Funko Soda in the collection. I started collecting Soda back when they came out. The very first Soda I added to my collection was Yummy Mummy and I pulled the Chase.

Then we have my favorite Freddy Funko in the collection, the Dynamic Duo Robin Chase. I got him when Funko did their event when they traveled across the united states called Fun on the Run, luckily Tucson, Arizona, was one of the stops on their adventure.

Then we have my oldest funko product in my collection, the Burger King Funko Force prototype, also one of my rarest pieces in my collection.

Then I have my favorite anime Demon Slayer. I started collecting Demon Slayer in the middle of the set release. What better way to represent the set then have one of the voice actors.

Then I have the rarest numbered piece in my collection. NFTS have specific cards that go with them. Rocko is No. 5 out of 999. I started collecting NFTS because my favorite set is Pop! Retro Toys, so I set out to add low mints to the collection.

I love Retro because they are the toys my Dad played with when he was little, like G.I. Joe and Transformers.

The final thing I want to close with is a thank you to my Mom and Dad for helping me with my collecting journey. I wouldn’t have the collection I have today without their help.

The CEO of C.R.E.A.M., Jones shares his thoughts and artwork from more than eight year’s worth of Toy Photography. Check out his profile on Instagram here!

Over to you, Chris!

How’d you get started in toy photography?

I actually got into toy photography when I was looking for some decor for my “Man Cave.” I was at the mall when I came across Funko Pop!s for the first time and they had some of my favorite movie/gaming icons. I think I bought Morpheus from the Matrix and a few others. Once I brought them home and took them out the box I just started taking pictures of them on my phone and posting them on Instagram. Someone DM’d me and suggested I post my photos in Funko photography sessions. I had no clue this world existed and the thrill of posting and receiving comments and likes from people around the world really motivated me to make it a daily/weekly occurrence.

Are you a collector? If so, what do you collect and what got you hooked?

Growing up in England, the toy/collecting culture was never as big as it was here in the US. But once I moved to America and got into the culture of toys and photography I submerged myself in collecting pretty quickly. My collection grew from a couple to 400 in a matter of a few years. I predominantly collected Funko but this year I branched out into other figures, especially Youtooz. In the near future I also want to try shooting 6” figures for their flexibility, I feel like they’ll be a lot of fun to shoot and have endless possibilities for creating scenes.

What do you like to shoot? How would you describe your style?

I like to shoot smaller figures around 4-6 inches as I enjoy making dioramas for them to bring the toys to life. Creating dioramas for anything bigger can become a lengthy process and hard to store. I like to think I have a distinct style that’s noticeable in the community. I’m very into angles, taking mostly landscape shots. For me personally, posting a lot of my content on Instagram makes it easier to shoot landscape so I don’t lose any of the shot to Instagram’s cropping in portrait. When I start creating an idea or recreating a popular scene for a figure I don’t have my end shot in mind. It’s very much ‘as I go’ from start to finish.

What was your first image? Do you have a favorite one that you’ve done?

My first shot was extremely basic I think I placed a Ninja (Richard Tyler Blevins) Funko Pop! next to my scuf PlayStation controller because the colors matched and added some golden sparkle effects afterwards in the background. You could say over the last 8+ years of shooting toys my style of photography has improved dramatically! I used to go out daily with my figs to find locations to shoot them ‘in the wild’ but after years of seeing other toy photographers create incredible dioramas and encouraging words from friends I decided to switch to diorama building around two years ago, I haven’t looked back since! My favorite shot to date would be the Youtooz figure of John Wick. I shot him walking through a Japanese-style pergola with cherry blossoms falling around him.

What’s the secret of turning a good image into a great image?

The best advice I have is to get behind the camera each step of the way as you work through your scene/diorama and see what’s working and what isn’t. Don’t wait till the end of your project to figure out what’s missing. I’ve made this mistake before and when it comes down to taking your final shot you realize a wall is not high enough for your angle or you see blemishes or flaws in the design. This can save you a lot of time and also help you get the best out of your shot.

Do you have any advice for anyone looking to start toy photography?

If you’re just starting out I definitely suggest shooting characters or figures you’re familiar with. Something/someone you really enjoy because that will come through in your photography. And all the characteristics you know and love about the figure in the show/movie you’ll portray better than someone you know little about. It’s this knowledge of your subject that will take your photography to the next level. Also if you’re starting out this journey to become a product photographer or get hired by a company to make it your profession, then I advise you to NEVER give up! It took me eight years to get my foot in the door with a company but with dedication and hard work, you’ll achieve the goal you set out to accomplish.

The post Behind the Lens with Chris Jones Toy Photography of Funko, Youtooz and Beyond appeared first on Pop Price Guide.

The former Funko CEO has partnered with Dolly Ahluwalia to co-found Thrilljoy Collectibles.

Details about the new venture are scarce right now, and as of this writing the new company’s Instagram had fewer than 350 followers. But that’s rapidly changing.

Ahluwalia, also a former Funko executive from back in the day, comes from XO The Bijoux Box, a company that believes that jewelry should be a form of expression, rather than just an accessory.

Mariotti stepped down from his role as CEO at Funko in September of 2023 after more than five years in Everett, in lieu of an advisory role.

How will all of this factor into the new Thrilljoy franchise? Will it compete with Funko or be its own new line of great collectibles? Tell us in the comments below what kind of items you think Thrilljoy will offer!
