We are still in the middle of getting all of this worked out as you can see by my graphic below, but we do have the general plan and wanted to let you get started.
Hello Shipyarders, it is contest time again and boy do we have a challenge for you this time! We wanted to bring you a good one that will be ending on the Birthday of ISY (October 27th). For this event we ask you to reimagine/redesign/create your favorite or your own toy line. You may ask, what exactly does this mean? Let's start with reimagine, this would consist of figures from mixed verses. Such as Steampunk Star Wars or Gi Joe, Road Warrior Star Wars, and many other mash up style customs. Redesign involves things such as looking at a current line at stores and showing how they could have been much better. An example of creating your own line would be a Batman 3 3/4 inch scale line with GI Joe or Micro-man articulation. This is just a few examples of what you could do and we can't wait to see what ideas of your own will be rolling in. Here are the contest particulars:
We want the line to be in 3 3/4 inch scale with a
minimum of 4 figures.
For those that choose to, we will allow
2 of these figures to be made prior to this contest (ones you may have posted before). This means you
have to make at least 2 new figures as the minimum entry requirement for your line.
For those that choose to
you can submit up to 12 figures but no more.
You can also make, repaint or improve a vehicle or beast to submit.
You will have until October 27th to complete your entry. Our birthday is a little earlier than that, but figure folks will like the extra time.
Work in progress pictures are fine here and I will be creating a separate Birthday Contest Final Entry Pictures thread once we get closer to our ending date so my celebrity judges can easily navigate your entries and when we do this
you will get twelve pictures of your final entry to post. It is your responsibility to get your entry pictures in said thread when I create it (either as attachments or direct post img codes) so if you need help with that you will need to query a moderator prior to the contest ending. I know it can be a pain posting pictures, but we have great mods here than can help you.
Here is the link to post your pictures too:
