New 52 is not valid.

Is New 52 still valid or no?

Hey,so you managed to make Alt. Realites 2. Wish my idea could helped you out!

 I usually send entries that are not from comic books superheroes.Except if it's a comic book line themed contest.I love getting and doing Characters from the modern video games and old board games as well..

 Yeah that works. In the future PM me with questions about entry specifics, that way your entry remains anonymous.

so my idea for a custom is a Marvel Character possessed by The Phoenix Force, does this fall under "specialised space gear" as the Phoenix Force resides in Space/The Shiar Galaxy? Thanks

 It'd be hard to beat the ones made by Sabretooth. http://www.figurerealm.com/viewcustomfi ... ?FID=36255

Hey Mr. Green Skin,I have a idea for a custom contest...Where should I tell?

Someone should make the Space Core from Portal 2.

 Nope, Marvel vs Capcom came out in 1998 and the cutoff is 1995.

Can we do like ex:War Machine from Marvel vs Capcom?

 Patraw, I completely understand what you saying and this is in no way a dispute, however the customs that you make differ from most that are submitted. While they are all master pieces in my opinion,(espeically the castlevania ones) the fodder is 100% sculpted, that is alittle different from what everybody and I are saying. not to mention you are very well known on the realm dude. you could be a co-creater for all we know. I love the realm. it gives me something to freaking do while my wife watches reba...Just kinda sucks to see when there is a good lesser known (but known) video game custom come through just to be over looked, while somebody makes a another bane or an acqua hulk (something weird like that)..anyways Im gonna keep cranking them out because its the best hobby in the world to me. In closing, I will say the only one who can win video game custom contest without making a marvel/DC custome is Loosecollector.

 Three of the five trophies that I’ve won in Figure Realm custom contests were for lesser known video game characters, another was for a really obscure Dungeons & Dragons compatible tabletop RPG monster, and only one of my trophies was for a comic book character (who was a one-panel appearance from an old Golden Age comic that no one here had probably ever heard of), so, I’m living proof that you can win with obscure, non-comic submissions. If you take a closer look at the results of various contests here at Figure Realm, you will see that comic book customs aren’t always on top. I think the perception of a voting bias comes more from the volume of comic book characters that are submitted (if the majority of entries are characters from comic books, it stands to reason that, on average, they’re going to garner more trophies, simply based on numbers). I can only speak for myself, but I vote on the overall quality/creativity of the custom and how well if does, or does not, fit the contest theme, not on what it is or how familiar I am with the source material. Comic books, video games, movies/television, original designs, it doesn’t matter to me.

 Yeah, I agree with sonic as well. I think it's all about familiarity. If somebody makes an awesome Hulk and somebody else makes an awesome, lesser-known video game character (or comic book character), I believe the character people are more familiar with will get more attention. It's easier to comment on, or give a higher score, if you are aware of the specific character/costume details and how well the customizer translated them. I'm guilty of it myself, with Transformers customs. I know absolutely nothing about TF characters, so somebody could make the awesomest TF custom in the world and I wouldn't know it.

I've got such a good one for this!

 gonna have to agree with sonicustoms, Made some really good customs myself but regardless it is all about hulk, archangels or freaking remakes or dark knignt bane. I think the dealpool eras is over guess we will see.

 A good custom is a good custom, regardless of whether the character comes from comic books, video games, or some other source material. Certainly, comic book characters are popular on Figure Realm, but I don't think that there's a voting bias towards them.

And keep in mind that there are dozens upon dozens of comic book based video games that were released before, and during, 1995, so it's highly likely that there will be at least some comic book characters submitted to this challenge.

I really like this contest! A lot of times most of the votes go to things that are comic based, figure realms isn't as fond of video game characters as they are comic book super heroes, so this is a nice change of pace!

 Both are acceptable.

Alright, stupid question, but official artwork from a game, like the art from the instruction books, or just in-game sprite-based?

 Lol, now you're just making me feel old.

An interesting idea. Boy that was a long time ago lol.

 Sorry but it has to be in scale with something, otherwise there is no point to the contest. If there was never a toyline, then choose one of the common scale (3 3/4, 6, or 12 inch).

 That would be fine.

does it have to be INSCALE to a certain toy line?
for example can I do a six inch robin figure but not made to be specificly in the same scale as any batman line but its still a small character, or again for example Virgil or Max from 'mighty max' toys and cartoon....there was never a action figure toy line so could I make him in any scale?

can we enter a our own ideas/our own take on a dc character, for example a nolan-verse style mr freeze or harley? or does it have to be something that dc comics have actually created themselves at some point?

 C'mon man, who doesn't know Carl For 5 inch scale anything 4 inches or smaller is acceptable, a 3.75 inch figure would be well within the rules.

 That I do not know. Contact one of the mods, they should be able to assist you.

 Interesting question I think that would be okay.

I know you said no animated characters, but what about live-action characters in an animated style?

So, let's say we wanted to do Carl, to go with Rick from the Walking Dead. Since the Walking Dead series is 5 inches, could one use a 3.75 inch figure to do Carl? (If you're not aware of what I'm talking about, Carl is a child, Rick is an adult.)

How do you remove a submission from the contest? I tried to use the monkey wrench but there isn't an option.

 Hello, I just sent a reply to your IM but I'll post again here in case anyone else needs to know this. If you need to edit your entry for any reason just click on the wrench icon in the top right corner (it's right by the Custom#) and this will let you edit your listing.

Hi,
I already post my entry, but I forgot that the photos has my logo on it. So could you remove it?....I will re-entry with the photos that has no logo.

Thanks

 Top 3 winners get the gold, silver and bronze medals...which are basically just for bragging rights. Medals will also give you more points for the leaderboard, which is also just for bragging rights.

Are there prizes for the winners

 Yes, you are allowed up to 3 entries per contest. You can also entry multiple customs in the same entry so long as they are related in some way (partners, arch enemies, a couple, etc.)

Are we allowed to enter more than one custom?

 Absolutely!

Can we enter original concept looks for existing DC characters?

 No, not at all. Figures have to be around 80% or less for the standard size figures for that scale. So in the 6-inch scale your entry can be no taller than 5 inches, he can be smaller than that but he can't be taller. You don't actually have to cut down an existing figure to 80% of it's original size. I'm assuming most people will use parts from smaller sized toy lines.

So no mater what size the action figure is...... You have to make it 80% of its current height?

Thanx so much 4 using my Peter Pan as reference!

  I like it, now I wish I would have thought of that when I wrote it up.

hmmm..could've been titled as "SWING AND MISS" Figure Realm Custom Contest.. when you search for somethin and it's not done or available you get "SWING & MISS" prompt message, then your Entry is Good to go..

 You could do an Assassins Creed armoury

 Yes, but Jem characters are restricted to the 3 3/4 scale.

 Does it mean we cannot over accessorized or add more accessories to the Cartoon character's costume aside from making more realistic Sir?

Jem is also part of this universe so are they allowed?
