Yeah, I liked the idea about a six inch contest. So we will use that one for the next poll.
I also liked these ideas:
From Darth Daddy:
Each artist has to pick a custom that they have always really admired, but that was made by artist other than themselves to try to recreate the figure and add it to their own collection. It's a great way for us to really push ourselves outside our comfort zones while at the same time giving us all the opportunity to add a much desired figure to our collections. It's a contest where everybody wins
From Sjefke:
2. a Through the Looking Glass theme. All the good characters done as evil and vice-versa.
3. Gender switch. Make your favorite male character a female and vice-versa. I saw a female version of Han Solo on Pinterest that was really cool.
4. I do like trying Episode 7 figures, but we need more reveals from J.J. Abrams or else it'll get pretty boring.
5. Baby versions of Star Wars aliens. Piglet Gammies, or Rancorlings in diapers.
From Darth Sinister:
"Tamer, maybe you could do a specified time block for an EU contest. One that runs from 1977 to say 1983. This could encompass Marvel, Del Ray, TV specials and the old news paper comics."
Just remember folks, the more restrictive you are in your theme the more likely folks won't participate in regards to getting participation. After doing these contests for a few years I can say we just haven't had too much success when we run those. The broader based ones always seem to go better as they offer so many more characters that can be customized.
Still, all ideas are welcome here. I will choose five of them to do our next poll after we finish this next custom contest.
