Product Photography: Halloween Tater Head

We are trying to recreate newspaper ads this week. I saw this Halloween Mr. Potato Head over at Target paper insert and thought plastic would be fun to work with...

The intent of this photo is to be delivered to graphics person for cutout. As such, my primary concern was delivering clean edge to make it easier for them to cutout, and dealing with that white-on-white arm on background. (Already did the cutout here -- was pretty easy given the clean edges).

Shot this on white perspex table at f/22 -- blew out the background (to about f/32 and a half), then lit from overhead with a large softbox and put a white card in front to left of camera to bounce some fill light onto him. I then took big black flags and ran them down the sides, helping the plastic pick up some darker look around the edges. He was standing in sort of a tunnel/box with white top/back/bottom and black sides. I think I got enough light in the lower half, but sure would have liked a tad more between the shoes. I tried once to light from underneath the perspex, but that started to washout the detail too much.
