Bob Harris Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) We've all enjoyed the incredible Best Customs of the Year Awards 2012, which means it's time for the As usual in a new thread with rules and gallery up front on the first page (aka the "TM2-Rule" ). We've received almost 150 customs in 13 different categories this year and now it's time for you to vote! A thumbnail gallery for each of the eleven categories has been posted below (it's too pic heavy to place in a single post, so we split it up). Each thumb will link to a larger picture or the original post to help you review and see all the details. =============================================================== Wait! What is this? So you're new to this place, right? Well, it's exactly what it says on the tin: we celebrate the best minimate customs made in 2012. Please sit back and enjoy what the talented folks of our little plastic crack commuinty came up with last year. Here's what the show looked last year. =============================================================== Alrighty then! Are there any RULES? You will submit your top 3 choices per category in descending order. The standard 3 points, 2 points & 1 point award system will be used as it has in past contests. Voting is open to all members of the Multiverse forum, even the participants, but as a customizer you are not allowed to vote for your own customs! We will simply ignore those votes. "Do I also have to vote in the categories my own customs are in the running?" Especially in those! To be fair, we encourage you to vote in these categories, too! =============================================================== I'm ready, how do I vote, dude? The PM Ballot system will be used for the voting. Please send all ballots by PM to the Master of Numbers hellpop. Send your top 3 picks for each category & top 3 for Custom of the Year in the format below: Best Custom Of The Year (all customs are eligible) Best Marvel Comics Custom Best DC Comics Custom Best Other ComicS / Cartoon Custom Best Movie/TV-Series Custom Best Videogame Custom Best Miscymate Custom Best Vehicle/Display/Accessory Best Box Set / Team / Series of 4+ Customs Even Better Than The Real Thing Best Quick Custom Best Decal Design Best Paintjob Best Sculpting Points awarded will be as follows: 1st will get 3pts, 2nd will get 2pts, 3rd will get 1pts. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR THE CUSTOM OF THE YEAR! You can also vote for the overall Custom of the Year. Just review all of the nominations below and pick your top 3 choices of which you think are the most outstanding. Please post any questions in this thread. For complaints please contact . =============================================================== OK, how much time do I have and when does this end? Voting begins right now and ends Sunday, March 24th at 11:59 PM CST. Winners will be announced later (that means early/mid April, not months later*...). (*If you get this joke, you're probably not a newbie...) =============================================================== Thank you very much, have fun and good luck to all of the participants! And here we go! =============================================================== BEST MARVEL CUSTOM OF 2012 BEST DC CUSTOM OF 2012 Edited April 20, 2013 by Bob Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Whew! I just wanted to remind you all, in case you overlooked it in the instructions, to send your ballots to ME (Hellpop) and not BOB (Bob). Remember, he's German! You don't want to get on his bad side! Also: If you notice any mistakes, if any of the picture links don't work, or you think we missed a custom you submitted, PLEASE PM US ASAP!

mrjasontodd Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Looks good. I just voted but there were some tough calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Lots of great entries. Gonna be a tough choice. Now to ponder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Oh, I just thought of one more thing to add: if it's not obvious, you should all be aware that the thumbnails are direct links to the customs in question. So, before voting, you should really check those links and see the customs in all their glory. This is particularly important in the group category, since not everyone sent us one photo with all their 'mates, and the accessory category, since we often had to crop large parts of the display to get them to fit the thumbnail dimensions.

TM2 Dinobot Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Point of order. Blight is a DC custom, not an Indy. Sorry. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I decided to allow it, because his appearances have been almost entirely on the Batman Beyond cartoon, and the category is for other comics and cartoon characters. And anyway, aren't you the guy who insisted that She-Ra is a DC Comics character a few years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Just started tabulating the ballots so far... pretty interesting stuff. Custom of the Year is still very much wide open; seems there's no one dominant favorite 'mate this year. There's a few categories that look to be already decided (one's an outright bloodbath), but most are very close, with a few separating from the pack. There's one category that I think is just about impossible to choose, but there appears to be a frontrunner. Anyway, there's just about a week to go, so MAKE SURE YOU VOTE! And send your pms to me, not Bob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Say, I was just looking at the rules - is it correct that we can vote for our Top 3 choices for each category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Give us the run down when it's all over. I'd like to know which was a bloodbath. Those are always fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Let me check this for you, Boyd... You will submit your top 3 choices per category in descending order. Looks like you're right. Top 3 choices it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Give us the run down when it's all over. I'd like to know which was a bloodbath. Those are always fun. I don't know if I'll give you the full run down, since I don't want to embarrass anyone (myself included... ), but I'll definitely give the top five and some analysis. So remember everyone, we're halfway through the voting window! There's still some very prominent members of this community yet to vote, including some people with horses in this race! So get me your votes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
