Hot off the heels of Clint's awesome Mando contest we bring you another customizing event for the Halloween season!
You do need to be a member here at the yards and you must have 10 posts under your belt to enter. Starting October 20 and entries are due in by October 31st at midnight. This one is wide open guys and gals, your entry simply needs to relate to Halloween in some form. You could make a figure that is wearing a costume, cross over a Star Wars character with a Horror film character, Zombies or Death Trooper, so many possabilities! This one is open to any verse, Marvel, Transformers, GI Joe, Star Wars, anything that you want to use will work. We are also allowing photoshoped entries for the first time. You can do a virtual custom if you don't have the fodder available of just create a background. We are also open to any scale figure from Micro figures to life size or 1 to 1 scale. We would like to see your 6 best pictures submitted and it does need to be a new custom not posted on the web before. This one should be a lot of fun and yield many diverse entries! Hang on to your mask and let's see what you come up with!
-
Sounds like fun, LE! Would shots of a Halloween costume work as an entry?
-
Sure does Clint!
-
"Trick or Custom!" Hehehe
-
Cool contest idea. I am in.
-
Glad to see we have a few people chiming in. I have started my entry and it is one of the crazies things I have ever pieced together. I am really into the Myan culture and the art from that period. I am trying to do a Star Wars X Myan crossover. I hope to have some pics this weekend, I showed the WIP to Jules and to quote him, "Man that is just mental!" Any one else care to share their plans or a WIP pic?
-
how many entries can we make?
-
There is no limit. Everything is wide open as this is not a contest and the prize is having fun and creating an awesome custom!
-
I am about half swamped at the moment and will be till the holidays and will probably just take pics of my dorky Fett costume. I think that his gun will turn out cool though.
-
Oh, yeah! I got an idea!
-
Your contests always have the best, most rewarding prizes :)
-
This is my entry
this diorama depicts a death trooper that has had a beam of somesort fall upon him, he survives and crawls away looking for flesh.
-
"aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
-
Holy <expletive deleted>! That squashed zombie trooper is friggin' awesome! Love the humor to it.
-
I liked the idea of this so much, that i got stuck into making an entry straight away over the weekend.

Now that is just cool!

YES, YES YES! LOVE these 2 entries! Hans, excelent idea and I great execution on that dio! M4, that is just great man! Love the parts you chose as they are perfect for that haunting look! Nice job sculpting that hat and the paint work really brings it all together. Glad to see some entries coming in so quickly. I finished my entry up last night and hope to mok up a quick scene to photograph by the end of today. Keep those entries coming in guys!
-
Wow, Oscar I love the witch. I just have to go to the front page with that one.
Wow, how gruesome is Hans' too. Look for that one on the fp later this week. I love Zombies.
-
Oh man I am so glad we are doing this! I am in!!
-
Going with a 6-inch scale figure for this one, and I just can't seem to shake the mando bug ;)
-
I knew you would be all over this Chad! That sounds great AFE! I am finishing up my entry and have a teaser/almost done image for you.

-
holy cow hans!that looks painful.ouch.
-
Looks like you are pulling off your planned theme nicely, LE.
-
Thanks Clint! I finished the touch ups last night but am still thinking about adding some tattoos to his legs. What do you guys think?

-
Leg tatts would definitely work! I love it! Spooky witch doctor dude turning people inside out and putting hexes on them. Neat stuff!
-
Hell yeah LE, he looks great. A few more tatts an he'll be perfect.
-
Yeah, buddy, throw some tribal looking Tats on his legs and that will be perfect.
Nice looking figure, LE!
-
LE have you seen Apacalypto? They are tated head to toe and have piercings and jewelry galore. Especially the Shamans and royalty. All the art was very well researched for that movie to make the Mayans look absolutely as accurate as possible. You should try to include some sort of panther motif in their since that is their most spiritually sacred animal. I am huge Mayan buff as well. I have lots of art book on them. This is one of the coolest origianl works i have seen. I love the use of the fisto head to be used as a head dress. What is the base figure? Is it one of the "mayans" from Crystal Skull? I have kicked my self hundreds of times for not getting as many of those as I could!
-
Thanks ATE, Tom and Clint! I plan to do just that.
Chad thanks buddy. Yes I am a huge fan of Myan Art, past and present. Also love the movie Apocalypto, just watched it last week when I got the idea for this custom. This is actualy me dressed up in Star Wars x Myan ceremonial gear. So I am trying to mesh the two rather than straight copy anything. That is a great idea for including a panther, not sure I can add that element know but will concider it as I am still kicking around what to do to complete this figure. Are you familure with the artist Chris Dyer? He is an awesome visionary artist and a friend of mine. He did a board graphic for my skate company and is such a spiritual and revolutionary guy. You should check him out...
-
Hans.F.K, that mini dio is very cool, zombie BRAINS
Clint, Shawn, LE, thank you, i am happy you like her.
LE, Now that Mayan is very original, i like him alot, great detail on him.
-
Luke Sprywalker that is a awsome custom figure :) O0
-
hannsfartknocker nice figure that is really freaky!!! >:D >:D

I have added a few tattoos and want to set up a small scene to photograph the figure. The BIG news is Tamer has donated a Ponda Baba figure from the vintage line as prize for this event! Thanks to him and we will work out the details of the winner in the next few days. So keep those entries rolling in folks!
-
Dang Spry! Nice Shaman! Can't wait to see that update on him. Ponda Boba! Oh I definitely got to enter this one!

I love the Nautolan headdress! Pure primal SW awesomeness! Highlighting his legs with the added tatts is a nice touch too...

Nice entries Denal and Thunder! Great to see a few more come in. I have some WIP images of what I have been working on for Jaxon Sprywalker's entry.
We started with this $5 helmet from the thrift store, added a visor and gave it the treatment we needed for our character.

(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x354/SprywalkerRanch/Jaxon/DSC_0027.jpg)
Picked up this Spy Kids Binoculars for $1 at the thrift store and gave it the treatment. I added a clip off another toy so it can attach to his belt.

-
Spry, your son is so lucky. That helmet came out great. I was like, " oh that helmet is cool, oh wait he made binos and a blaster too!" I wish I knew where that blaster comes from. It looks like something from SW. I want to do a repaint of that Boba Fett blaster like Clonehead is doing.
-
ZOMBIE YODA ! ! !
This all started with a little "torturing" then complete coverage with an all black base coat then all colors were applied by hand/brush.
No factory paint or plastic can be seen.
*I did not paint the snake*

Haven't seen a custom Yoda figure in a while and definitely never a zombie Yoda! This is so awesome!
-
Zombie Yoda is really pretty cool!! :)
-
So glad you found our contest thread TTT! That is an awesome figure! Very creative and perfect use of that Joe snake! The paint work is top shelf stuff as well!
I am posting this for My son Jaxon Sprywalker. He is not a member here and understands he is not eligable for the prize and simply wants to play along. Here he is in his Halloween costume as Commander Fox. Sadly his Mom doesn't have the eye for details like the belt that crept down by the time we took these pics. ;)
