Let's Chat: Play Along Toys Eomer on Horseback

Here we have Eomer on Horseback from Play Along Toys Warriors and Battle Beasts series (2003). 

Here's one thing I noticed about Chat GPT. If you're familiar with Photoshop's ability to create a .PNG image where the central subject is saved as an image while the remainder is cut out and made transparent, then you know it can be a dicey affair at best. Granted, I have an older version but the ability to make .PNG images is very, very sketchy and often times ends in failure. Chat GPT doesn't appear to have that issue. No matter what I've thrown its way, the program has been able to surgically slice around every angle, and into every nook-&-cranny and save and utilize the core image all the while building backgrounds and textures based on my prompts. I like!

FOUND PHOTOS: Sabertooth Games Combat Hex Sauron

Yet another round of found photos. Apparently, these photos were taken for fleaBay prior to selling this in 2016. I don't really have any seller's remorse with this one as I already had the terrific Play Along Toys version of Sauron.

FOUND PHOTOS: Burger King Gandalf Glass (2001)

I found yet another set of LOTR-related photos. These were taken in 2016 and I just never got around to posting them. I posted photos of Burger King's Frodo glass back in January 2016 and took these Gandalf glass photos on the same day, yet the Frodo glass got posted and these didn't - go figure. Burger King also made Arwen and Strider glasses but I never got around to buying those.

From 2001 when these glasses were sold, until 2016 when these photos were taken, the batteries still had a charge in them although it is a bit hard to see.

FOUND PHOTOS! New Line Cinema: The Two Towers DVD Set with Gollum Statuette

I was perusing my old photos to come up with some more Chat GPT candidates when coming across this set of pics from 2016. Most of the photos still needed editing and in the files were .PDFs for a packing slip and sales receipt, so it appears as if I took all the photos, used a couple for fleaBay, and sold this off. Damn! Now I've got seller's remorse! 😂

Adventures in Chat GPT - Toy Biz Electronic Sound & Action Treebeard, the Talking Ent

I posted this Treebeard the Ent figure from Toy Biz way back in December 2011 and am now able to highlight this terrific toy again - but in a different way. The toy is battery operated (enabling the talking) and is 17.25" (43,81cm) H. The legs and arms are articulated and can be moved around and, while it's not made by Play Along Toys, is a great companion piece to their LOTR figures. Back in 2011, the photos were my basic set of orthographic inventory shots, but with the help of a little computer aided wizardry, Treebeard now is in a setting which makes him look at home!

The photo I chose to 'plus up'

The prompt used was: place Treebeard the Ent in Fangorn Forest.
