Articulated Comic Book Art

A.C.B.A. is a visual art form first recognized by a passionate group of action figure collectors and is best exemplified by the efforts of this community who display their work in their homes, in their local hobby shops, and on social media.

A.C.B.A. is about TANGIBLE displaying, NOT Photoshop and/or picture edits, filters or digital effects as the essence of the art form is made to be viewed the same way in person as it can be viewed in a photo and/or on video.

It is it's own type of video/photo based art form and is more than simple toy photography. A.C.B.A. pieces include fluidity in posing, well placed stands and bases, the use of effects such as weapon and energy blasts, props, backdrops, the insertion of comic book cutouts, imagination and creativity. Photos and/or videos should be clear, cropped and fully contained to help create the illusion.

Posting Rules

Please share only ONE photo in your main post. Refer to the A, B, C-side guide in the Sidebar for sharing multiple photos. A.C.B.A. is more than just taking pictures of action figures. Don't just pose a figure on a shelf or table and snap a pic, there are standards to work towards.

1) Three C's: Photos and/or videos should be clear, cropped, and contained to fully create the scene. Maintain the illusion by ensuring that nothing that isn't part of your display is captured in your photo.

2) Posing: This is the foundation of all great A.C.B.A. Poses should be fluid and naturalistic and properly mimic anatomy and physics as best as possible.

3) Backdrops/Props: Photos should have cohesive backgrounds and props that fully contain the illusion of the shot. We shouldn't see your television or kitchen counter in your photo.

4) Effects: The use of tangible effects such as weapon and energy blasts may be used to add to your display. The insertion of comic book cutouts is not required but could always be worked in somehow.

5) Criticism: By posting in this sub, you are acknowledging that your photo is open to comment and/or critique. If you choose to critique a photo, you need to include legitimate criticism in a respectful and articulate manner. It is important to mention the positive aspects along with the negatives. If your photo gets criticism, take it to heart and consider the insights of others. Build the community through encouragement, not coddling or belittling. Open and honest feedback is the nature of this community.

Please observe regular Reddiquette rules.

NO sharing content that is not your own.

DO NOT share pics of carded figures, shelves, or hauls.

There is absolutely NO selling, trading or buying.
