LOL

I had another idea.  Sith Witches.  It's a very under-represented category of figures.  There are plenty of examples from concepts, EU and the Clone Wars, yet Hasbro (until recently) has completely neglected them.  We need Mother Talwin, Ventress as a Dathomir Assassin, the concept Sith Witch and Maghella.  It seems like a really fun project, something we can go wild on like with bounty hunters.

BTW BOTWT.  I love your website and your stuff.

Love the Sith Witches idea. We get things back to normal after C6 we will get back on our next customizing contest. I like the idea of a Sith Female Contest period.

How's about a Mash-up contest?  Like, I dunno...a Predator Sith Lord, or Mortal Kombat Mandos?

Not a bad idea. We are actully getting ready to unveil one that is rather large in focus and can hopefully even get some beginning customizers involved.

Then, as things go now, we might be teaming up with another Site for another great contest idea. After that this might be one to try though.

Sounds very interesting Shawn can't wait to see what they are.

A couple of my blog buddies were goofing around about Baby Ewoks and I believe Darth Eddie mentioned a baby Gamorrean.  What about a adolescent or baby alien contest?

Or what about a contest like "The Comic Packs that never were"?
"Arent you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
"Shut up!"

Not bad ideas, we have to be careful with a narrow focus. We have a few ideas already for ones after this. Ole Spry and Clonehead been hard at work coming up with great new ideas. Stay tuned.

How about from Marvel to Dark Horse the greatest comic covers. Pick your favorite cover and recreate it.

I'm liking a lot of these ideas. Mash ups, comic cover re-creation, etc. are all great ideas I'd be down for.

Some nice ideas being tossed around so far, I was thinking of a few as well.
-Create your video game character, such as your Kotor or TOR character, Fallout or any other type of character you created for a video game.

-Create your favorite musician in Star Wars form such as a Zabrak Lady Gaga or Chiss versions of The Rolling Stones or something like that. That would be fun and challenging and take a lot of creativity.

-EU characters from any time (or more specific periods such as TOR or The Galactic Civil War and so on)

-Gender swapped core characters such as a female Han and male Leia (though I think I remember seeing this idea somewhere before)

-A contest using only the Power of the Jedi and POTF figures.
Just a few ideas to help contribute to the brainstorming, these contests are always so much fun no matter what the theme is though!

I definitely like this idea...Hasbro's takes didn't always work out like they could have...

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

I wanna toss my idea back into the proverbial ring:

Franchise Mash-ups. Blend two or more of your favorite universes into one.  4" figs (solo or teams) and beasts of burden, small vehicles, mini dioramas welcome. New figs only, WIP shots only in the thread, no final reveals anywhere else but here first.

Thoughts?
