2014 Birthday Custom Challenge!
« on: September 30, 2014, 02:33:09 PM »


The Ultimate Action Figure Challenge...

Details:

3 3/4 inch figures

Small mini diorama to go with the figure: This doesn't have to be much more than a small floor piece or you can add a background wall.

The figure can have many accessories, be loaded with articulation, what ever you consider to be the ultimate version of the character you choose.

You can also create a deluxe accessory rather than the small diorama. Something like a small vehicle, drone, beast/companion for your figure if it applies to your character or appeals to you. Nothing big that could take away from your figure it should simply highlight the figure.

This Contest will run from now until November 30th to give you two full months of build time. This goes slightly past our birthday, but we want to give you the time you need to make something ULTIMATE!

Remember only one custom figure is needed as long as it has either a small dio or deluxe accessory. Feel free to make more than one custom figure if you would like though.

Also, this is open to any action figure line, not just Star Wars.

Please post your final entry here:

Here are the prizes as of today (October 4th), but I am still getting more in from other sponsors. I will take care of shipping in the continental US and try to take care of some of the shipping costs outside the US (but be aware if you live outside the US you may need to pay for shipping). Some prizes boxes could include a special small gift sent out by Vans!

Here are the random prizes:

Compliments of Beyond Mortality Toys!



Great Casts from Production Platform 3:





The new Black Series 6 inch TESB Yoda from Dorkside Toys!



Other random prizes:























X2 of these

Grand Prize 2 is the SDCC Exclusive Jabba and Salacious Crumb:


Grand Prize 1 is the Sixth Scale Darth Malgus kindly donated by Sideshow Collectibles!


Stay tuned as even more prizes will be added as I get em. We are hopeful that the vast majority of the folks who enter will win something this year!

I felt confident this was going to win so I got a head start to.  So this is a big contest so im guessing the winner wont be a random drawing, but a best man wins comp? Cuz that will be so much more motivating. :)

There will be two grand prizes (from some guest judges) and many random drawings so everyone I hope might have a chance to win something for this one!

Glad most everyone likes the topic. It leaves the choices wide open for the customizer. So much so I am having trouble deciding between 4-5 characters.

This is an awesome contest to celebrate ISY's b-day & the prizes are incredible!!!
Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live & die on this day. How we die is equal to how we live. Once more into the breach, my friends, once more, or we close the walls up with our dead...
