At Action Figure Comic Con, creativity doesn’t just live inside comic panels or on collector shelves — it comes alive behind the lens. This year, AFCC proudly presents the AFCC Photography Gallery, an immersive showcase celebrating the artistry, imagination, and storytelling power of the toy photography community.
On January 31st, 2026, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre will transform into a visual universe where heroes leap off the screen, villains command the shadows, and the worlds we love are rebuilt one frame at a time.
Where Figures Become Characters — And Scenes Become Stories
Toy photography is more than posing figures and snapping pictures. It’s world-building. It’s lighting, emotion, atmosphere, and direction — all condensed into a single frame that tells a complete story.
This year’s gallery highlights:
-
Cinematic action sequences
-
Moody portraits with emotional depth
-
Dynamic battles and heroic moments
-
Fantasy, sci-fi, anime, and multiverse mashups

Practical effects, digital artistry, and masterful composition
Each photograph pulls viewers into a world shaped by passion, patience, and imagination.
