undeadpool Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 can the characters be original or original interpretations of existing characters? (example: Batman and Robin as anime characters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperChefMate Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 These are some great prizes, I think I'm going to give this a try. Does the entry have to be actual minimates, or can it be minimate in spirit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 That is a good question. I will allow something that is the shape of a Minimate, but is not an actual Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 If you remade them, you can resubmit them, but only 2 of them - this contest is all about the 2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Rex Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My problem is narrowing this down to the duo I would like to make. Right now there are at least 8-10 strong ideas that I want to work on! Think outside the box folks, there are tons of duos that can be made, from comics, tv, movies, toons, etc.....

jcastick Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I MAY have an idea......but now it is all about time and execution. This one's gonna be tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowlar Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I sat down today and went through my fodder to find the perfect duo. The one thing that I was sure of was that I didn't want to do anything that already existed but whatever I came up with had to at least be recognizable to an existing property. Now that I've finished my entry I'm pretty sure I have no chance of winning, however that isn't going to stop me. So here is my entry to the dynamic duo or anti-dynamic duo of Office Lurker Langston and Mail Room Manny. A pair with a bond so strong even the kiss of death couldn't keep them from each other or their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 You can count on me to not do a Romney/Obama duo. So sick of those two already. "Don't blame me Marge, I voted for Kodos" -Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimadman Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Should we proclaim our duos beforehand so there's no double up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hhmm.....I don't think we need to. In my opinion, it's the surprise of what people come up with that make these contests so great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with JCastick on this, it's definitely one of the cool things about these, and if there are doubles, they are usually quite different, which is also fun to see.
