The Subway Terminal Pop Up Diorama is set as a New York City Subway, and features realistic style artwork depicting an accurate appearance. The Subway Terminal has a lot of details on the walls, which includes graffiti on the train, with nicely painted doors, windows, and additional artwork that makes it look like the train is in the subway. Additional walls includes stairs and two pay phones, posters of the subway map in New York City, a train, and advertisements for Extreme-Sets and BigBadToyStore. The wall details also include tiles, with some looking damaged, dirty and broken from age. There are additional details such as doors, dark grey stripes on top and bottom, concrete flooring, and two columns that can be placed anywhere you choose. Like other sets, this one is also in scale with 6″ to 8″ action figures, but we think it works best with film and television accurate figures over comic, and animation. For our purposes, you cannot photograph a Subway Terminator and not use Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, so we went with the NECA Toys figures released this past summer, along with the DC Comics Multiverse Justice league Movie figures released by Mattel.
This set up is made with six different sheets, with each connecting to each other to create a massive environment. Once all six are combined, including the three floor and columns, you have a massive playset that can hold dozens of figures in an realistic environment. This is too big for out setup to photograph, and taking it outside now it would be damaged by the snow. For most people looking to display their collections in a unique way, this is a great example of what you need to buy in order for your displays to truly stand out, along with enhancing your photoshoots. We also would suggest to apply take on the bottom of the floor to keep it straight.
Overall, this is an amazing set with superior and realistic deco. This set enhances any toy display with all of the amazing detail and design.
