Cool to hear that you have found such a generous and supportive facebook group (The food they gave you looks great!) Is it a german group? There doesn't seem to be a lack of collectors in germany, but I haven't found many that dabble in toy-photography.
I mostly follow people who do toy photography on Instagram (#toyphotography) and also Twitter. I prefer people who do funny pictures. If I see someone having a Stormtrooper eating an ice cream, then I know I am right. I'm not so much into battle scenes.
It's an international group and the nicest and supportivest group you can imagine. If you feel down, those women (and a few men) certainly raise you up! Even if the maker thinks their own crafts are not that good, compared with others. But nobody is left out and we all watch and learn.

And so many good ideas. Some so simple but effective. When I made the shopping bags from clothes labels, that was an idea from this group.
And you also learn things! Someone made an outhouse, and instead of the heart shaped hole in the door I know from Germany, they had a half moon which they apparently have in America. You never learn such things in school!
Isn't that a physical impossibility? I thought one had either some action figures, or some money. Never both at the same time
Well yeah, you got me there
When Corona hit, I suddenly found myself with a lot of money in my bank account. I am not used to it not being in the red! Usually I also travel a lot, for conventions, concerts, theatre, often to the UK. So I figured, that money needs to be spent and bring me happiness, and went on a shopping spree on ebay. So much so that they put a buying limit on me. Seriously. I had no idea these even exited!
Your sets look really cool but I prefer to build my own. That way, they are at least somewhat large and complete (with a floor and a roof). Companys usually just put out a wall or two, and that's it. They are very detailed of course, but... they are also more shelf pieces than anything else. The only playset I was ever somewhat impressed with was the Bridge of the Enterprise-D.
The kitchen and the library are quite huge, and when I crop the picture enough and do close-ups you would not see the end of the set. I have been thinking about extending the kitchen floor.
But yeah, in general I agree. Then again I would not have the space for bigger sets, plus I don't want to dedicate my time to building only one thing, when I play in so many different fandoms.
Speaking of building, today in the morning I was lying in bed, thinking about things, when I had an epiphany. So this was my afternoon - from pencil sharpener to transporting box or whatever the official term is - does anyone know?
It needs paint yet and I need to find a way how to attach the strap.
In the Star Trek Voyager episode "Natural Law" Chakotay has a leg injury and someone makes him a walking stick. I was fully prepared to make him one when I realized that I already have the perfect thing. But I don't remember with which figure it originally came with.
It's in the Doctor Who box, so either a Doctor Who figure (but I doubt that, surely I would remember) or some Buffy/Angel/Spike figure I used to buy at the time for headswapping.
Well, Chakotay has now claimed it at his own.
My figures are 6-inch. It's the Crew from the animated show "Star Wars: Rebels." They have kind of a nice family dynamic going on, including a mom-like leader, a reluctant jedi-dad, two street-rat kids, a grumpy but cool unlce and the droid Chopper is basically the assholish house cat
