Found these action figures at target and I was off and running. Rocks I got from Walgreen’s, the background was a print from my new Epson R1800 (Sweet A** Printer).
Post Processing: Levels, Dodge and Burn, Cloned out small hot spot, curves, crop, resize and save for the web. I took approximately 40 exposures before settling on this one image.

Very dramatic effect, and very rich colors, all make this a great image..... It is like a page out of a fantasy novel or movie.....

Good idea. Using your editing tools, you may have been able to take away from the 'toy' feel and give it a darker battle feel. Maybe some fog, darker lighting, more than one light source in different colours?

nice use of dark shadows to decrease the "toyness" of the toys.
