Amidst the waterfall of new game footage and price drops at today’s Sony press conference, a few Twisted Metal screenshots snuck through the cracks, as well. It’s not much, but we’ll take anything to tide us over until 2012.

“Soul of Toys”, a Gallery of Ugly Mugs atop the Shoulders of our Favorite Action Figures
Jeremy Schultz loves taking photos of action figures. No posing, no irony. Just unadorned portraits of aging, flaking action figures, which for those of a certain age will evoke quite a bit of memory. (And no small bit of “God, was that thing really that ugly?”) He’s working on a coffee table book called “Soul…
