Vote For The Next Custom Contest Theme!

[supersizeme]

my vote goes to Power of Greyskull and my custom prize offer still stands.

[Patraw]

are pro wrestlers fair game for sports?

Yes, wrestlers of any type, even sumo, are athletes and would be a-okay.

I really like the choices here but I'm going with #5. Power of Greyskull! We need more MOTU, especually the extended universe from the comic. With the offer of a free custom from a great customizer already on the table- great call Supersizeme. I'd love to see Darththomas, AREZ, NeCrollector, HKC, Batman1016, Argenta, and any of our other MOTU regulars I missed compete here. Maybe, if I enter, I may decide to match Supersizeme's offer. If there would be any interest. I'm no Darththomas but I've got a few ideas in mind.

Well, I'd certainly be game in entering an MOTU contest, but anonymity might be an issue . . . eh, when has that ever stopped anyone, right? I call Grayskull! As for black and white . . . didn't we just do a monochrome contest a short while back? Also, I'd LOVE to do the Cancelled Figure contest, but since it's not getting any votes, I'll stick with Grayskull.

By the power of greyskull!! I already passed on it once but a second chance is jus too tempting!

Cancelled figures! I think it would be better if instead of putting a new post for each new set of options if you just updated the first post in this thread as the options change,

Yes, we had a monochromatic contest a while back, but black and white is a little different as it entails black, white, and multiple shades of gray. In the monochromatic contest there was no way to add any kind of contrast to your work, because everything had to be the exact same color, black and white, on the other hand, while still limited, allows for more variation.

That's not a bad suggestion, but that might also lead to more confusion, as everyone's past voting comments would remain. For example, somebody new to the forums, looking at older posts, might wonder why people are voting for things that aren't on the current list of contest themes. (I could edit my own posts to remove previous voting options, but I wouldn't be able to delete anybody else's posts.) Some people might also like to go back and look at what past contest options were.

I agree that would have been a great way to start but changing it now may get confusing. I suppose if you moved the thread to a new one. I am an information junkie though and I kinda like knowing which contests have already been voted on. The contest idea thread doesn't give us a real list of what Patraw has in his files as proposed contests.

[Patraw]

I've considered doing the same thing with the leaderboard, but didn't for the same reason - I figured that some members would probably want to compare the current standings with past rankings.

Power of Grayskull is the undisputed winner with five votes and shall be the August 1st contest (and I'll include your generous offer of a custom figure for the first prize winner in the rules, supersizeme.) With Sidekicks II set to go before the voters shortly, it's time to revisit another Figure Realm contest from the past for the August 15th challenge (please only pick one):


#1 80s Style II
Make a custom of anything you want from the years 1980 - 1989. Toys, comic book characters, musicians, television/movie personalities, etc. Whatever you do, it has to visually reflect that time period.

#2 Clowns II
It's all fun and games until somebody gets a custard pie in the eye. For this challenge, craft a custom of any clown-type character you like, or just create your own original prankster. The Joker, Clown (Violator), Sweet Tooth, Krusty the Clown, Homey D. Clown, etc.

#3 Comic Fusion II
It's amalgam time! Permanently combine two, or more, characters into a new entity. You can create an original design or use an existing amalgam from any source material. While the contest title says "comic", you won't be limited to comic book personas - mash together whatever characters you want.

#4 Deadly Demons II
Figure Realm has been plunged into the Nine Hells, if you don't want to burn, you'd better craft yourself an infernal buddy fast! Simply make any demon/devil character for this one, including original creations (half-breeds are also okay.) Devilman, Hellboy, Mephisto, Malebolgia, Beezlebub, Succubi/Incubi, etc.

#5 Steampunk II
Time to go hi-tech with archaic Victorian technology! You can make any character that already belongs to the Steampunk genre (Treasure Planet, League of Extraordinary Gentleman, The Difference Engine, etc.), give another character of your choice a Steampunk-style makeover (Steampunk Iron Man, etc.), or create an original figure in the Steampunk style.

#6 Tales of the West II
For this one, you can make any "Western" character, real or fictional (Bravestarr, Billy the Kid, the Lone Ranger, etc.), give an existing character a Western makeover (Playmates old Wacky Wild West TMNT sub-line would be a good example of that), or just create an original Western figure.

[Shinigami]

Comic fusion.

Deadly Demons, this contest I would actually be able to make some submissions for I think

#1 80s characters

'80s Style, it's the only one I'm qualified for.
