So check these out! My daughter surprised me with these shoes as a gift yesterday.
Pumkins on the top....
A picture of the Salem Witch Trials on the side. This is the picture of the witches being condemned.
A little Macbeth on the backs.....
And Halloween colors on the sides....

She designed these and sent them the art work and they custom made the shoes. How cool is that?????

Sorry about picking on the Rebel. If I had known that it was your camera, I would have used another example (it just figures that it had to be, out of thousands, your camera!)
Incidentally, I don't have a tripod. So all the shots are handheld. I don't have a macro lens either.
The lighting for your figurine collection can be a tricky thing. Think of the time they spend in the studio lighting a box of soap. A whole team of photographers and countless hours.
I'm not a photographer, so I can't really comment on studio lighting. What is it you don't like about your photos (or your camera)?
It also depends a lot on what you want to capture. Realism or impressionism. You'll notice that my pictures are not necessarily in the reality camp. I try to isolate the subject, but often take things way out (intentional overexposure, color alterations, etc, etc).
I'm guessing that you want more realistic pictures than mine. Am I right? In which case, I think you should be able to get them out of your camera.
You'll notice that the witch's face (first shot on your June 2 post) is overexposed. Porcelain is highly reflective and tricky to light (remember the team of photographers for that soap box). Even more of a challenge since you have a three-dimensional object with very dark areas, as in the dress, and very light - the face. Is this the kind of thing you're not pleased about?
This must be a special order.
