I don't think my entry is a bad figure. I like him. I just really LOVE the other entries.  I would add any of these figures to Elias' collection in a heartbeat.  I just feel the other customizers put a lot more work into their figures than me and should be rewarded for their efforts.  I just swapped out head and hands and did a wash on his arms.  It took less than an hour to make and I can tell that the other artists spent a lot more time on their entries.  My comment had more to do with the amount of effort that I put in.  I just really appreciate the heart the other customizers put into this.  I do appreciate the votes and I'm really glad people appreciate the look of the figure.  I hope my entry at least inspires people to make one of their own and reduce all the pegwarmers we're seeing in stores.  I guess what I was trying to communicate that I would just rather see one of the other customizers win it.

Wow, its pretty much a deat heat. Love it!

I do so agree with your sentiment Brian. Take some of the existing pegwarmers and turn them into something cool.

Hah!  Mine is essentially a Daultay Dofine - pegwarmer city!

WOOOHOOO!  You've made my week.  I know the other entries were really good, but I put about 12 hours into that figure and used 2 GIJoes, a WED Tredwell, a Transformer, a Halo figure and a couple of BaD parts to make him.  I dont think I have another one like him in me.  My kids are thrilled too.  To hear them talk to their Mother (who thinks I'm nuts, BTW) they feel it was a great family honor.  I aint gonna tell em otherwise.


Thank you Imperial Shipyards, Mr Phatty, Tamer and Clone Crazy.

Sjefke, I sent you a pm giving you a couple options for your choice for the fan favorite vote.

Our pm system does not work until a person has 10 forum posts so that might be interfering with your pm system. Feel free to email me at tamer@imperialshipyards.net too, whichever is easier so we can get you your prize too.
