What happens when more than twenty of the best toy photographers on Instagram all press play on the same soundtrack? You get a week like this one. A 17-photographer Masters of the Universe Halloween takeover. A Domino collab with Neena Thurman and her crew. A Jubilee portrait scored by the man who shot the Silence Is Golden cover. Every frame below is an original community post — and every one of them is moving to music by @epictoysound.

Jubilee, lit by Darc Reign
The little firecracker gets her portrait. @darc_reign shot the Mafex Jubilee (figure by @medicom_toy, diorama by Twelve World) and scored it with his own “Can I Kick It” — Darc Reign feat. @epictoysound (ISRC: QT6EY2626897). The same @darc_reign who shot the shark cover for Silence Is Golden and features on two tracks of the EP — “Dead Man's Feast” and “Chandelier.”
