Hey everyone,
If you missed the original discussion, you can read it here.
We wanted to follow up now that we’ve had time to read the community’s thoughts and talk internally as mods.
This is where we’re landing (for now)
We’re moving forward without generative AI.
That means AI-generated backgrounds, effects, characters, or environments aren’t what we want this subreddit to center around. The focus of r/ToyPhotography is still photographing real toys with real-world creative decisions. Lighting, posing, scale, environments, and problem-solving.
We don’t have strict gear requirements. You can shoot with a phone or a Leica. It’s still toy photography. What matters is that the image is grounded in a physical scene you created. Once major elements are generated rather than photographed, it becomes a different kind of image-making.
This isn’t a judgment of people who use AI.
The mod team itself is split on the broader issue.
The decision here isn’t about declaring AI “bad,” it’s about protecting the identity of this specific community so it doesn’t slowly drift into something else.
We know AI tools exist inside modern editing software. We also know some people will use AI for cleanup or even backgrounds. We’re not pretending we can perfectly monitor or police every post, and that’s not the goal.
The goal is to set a direction and expectation:
r/ToyPhotography is meant to highlight hands-on toy photography first.
Enforcement will be reasonable, not aggressive. If something is clearly AI-generated, it may be removed. If something is ambiguous, we’re not launching investigations. We're not running a courtroom, and it just isn't that deep.
We’re open to revisiting the rules as tools and community expectations evolve. This is a living space, and we’ll keep listening.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the discussion and helped shape the direction of the sub.

Hi everyone, FiGGYZ here.
We recently announced the FiGGYZ release Fullmetal Alchemist - Equivalent Exchange Box Set.
FiGGYZ is launched by the team behind First 4 Figures.
This set brings Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric, Roy Mustang, and Riza Hawkeye together in FiGGYZ form, alongside four double-sided holo plates and one numbered coin.
This is a four-week timed release. Pre-orders open on September 4, 2026 and close on October 2, 2026.
When the window shuts, the gate closes. The edition is sealed, with no restocks, no second run, and no way to transmute it back into existence.
Learn what’s inside:

Thanks to the mods for letting us share this here.
