Punisher Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Is it time to start discussing Charitymates 5? With the earthquake in Japan and all, maybe now is the perfect time? Discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I could look for myself, but when does it normally go on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcastick Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 As long as we have a decent amount of time to work on a custom.....I'll be moving soon and would hate to miss this event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm all onboard as usual. What should the theme be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I can't believe it has already been a year since our last event! Let's start throwing out ideas for themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J.V. Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 How about "Anime" inspired characters like Mecha,School Girls,Ninja, etc etc...(to avoid any copy right issues) and donate the proceeds to The Red Cross (or other charitable organization) to help Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake? Just thought I'd throw that out there. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 now that i am confident of my abilites and i have the time, i would love to enter and not flake out this time. a few ideas: the saftey workers of tomorrow (inovative ideas for improving firemen,medics,etc) superheroes that fight natural disasters aliens (idk..its generic) i also like A.J.V.'s idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I like the idea of Ninja Clans. Everybody'd make a ninja with their own trademark uniform, clan emblems or markings along with a slew of weapons distictive to their particular clan.

TM2 Dinobot Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 How about "Anime" inspired characters like Mecha,School Girls,Ninja, etc etc...(to avoid any copy right issues) and donate the proceeds to The Red Cross (or other charitable organization) to help Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake? Just thought I'd throw that out there. ^^ This. Something Japanese/anime/mech/ninja related. I'm not even going to suggest my usual charity, as I believe we are all in agreement that it should be Japan this time. Also, considering how much attention Japan gets usually, we could get some good cross-promotional stuff going right now. Articles on Tomopop, AJV's blog, even HLJ. Those guys are great, and I am sure they can help us as much as we can help them. I'd like to propose something here. That our Charity Mates actually cause natural disasters. Every time we do it something shows up. Okay, I'm out for a while guys. Don't have too much fun without me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 im in, relief for Japan certainly seems like the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm liking the Anime/Japanese/Ninja themes being thrown around......sounds like a decent way to go. Some ideas: Modern Gods (updated versions of different gods and goddesses) Elemental creatures (representations of the different elements) Alternate Universe of Historical figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If we do modern gods, I call hermes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J.V. Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm getting pretty excited about this! Lots of cool ideas so far. Hopefully I'll be able to participate this time around because I think I'm kinda starting to get the hang of whole customizing thing. ^^ How about "Anime" inspired characters like Mecha,School Girls,Ninja, etc etc...(to avoid any copy right issues) and donate the proceeds to The Red Cross (or other charitable organization) to help Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake?

I'd also post it on figure.fm (which is a figure community site created by the Toyko Storm Trooper: Danny Choo dannychoo.com) and maybe some other anime sites (besides the ones you mentioned). Oh, and thanks for the shout out Dinobot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 If we do Japanese theme, how about strictly Ninja? Mechs and such seems to similar to our Convoy of Robots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J.V. Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hm.. You got a point there Punisher, I just threw in mecha because they're seen in anime and stuff but I had forgotten about the Convoy of Robots. So yeah, I guess maybe the mecha (robot) part should be left out so as to not do something too similar to a previous charitymates project.

undeadpool Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 no one else thinks we should combine all of A.J.V.s ideas and make mechanized ninja schoolgirls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I believe you can count me in. I'm cool with Ninjas, or samurai, though I do question the stereotype of it. Donny, I think going Alien Ninjas would be too specific. There's no reason somebody couldn't do alien ninjas with just a general ninja theme, I personally was considering a robot ninja.

dj87 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 whilst I don't watch the stuff myself... Anime does seem like the best option so far, most of the others seem very limited. If the theme was simply inspired by Japan, we may end up with a couple of Mechas, but I wouldn't have thought it'd be too big a problem, with Samurai, Transformer or Pokemon-esque things, Geisha?... probably best to avoid irradiated monsters though.

SillyGooserTC Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I can donate a production sample for Charitymate 5. Also right now 10% to 25% of all the proceeds of my eBay auctions are going to help people in Japan. Let me know when the deadline is to submit my donation to this cause. Thank you, Jaycen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks Jaycen! We will definitely let you know. I agree with bobafett that doing ninja-only might be too limited, and might discourage some from participating. Maybe opening it up to anything anime-inspired (excluding hentai ) is a better idea.

A.J.V. Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (excluding hentai ) Does that include tentacles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
