TBT! Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yay Sounds like Fun.... Count me in I'll put my best thinking cap on Does it have to be someone new or can I cheat and use one of my existing Quick customs? T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Can we use Sharpies on the customs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Can we use Sharpies on the customs? As per the rules: "Do not paint or modify any of the pieces to create your custom. These customs should be able to be replicated by anyone with the right Minimates parts. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Shouldn't there be a freeze on the quick-custom list? Or have a rule that you can not submit a quick custom from the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Shouldn't there be a freeze on the quick-custom list? Or have a rule that you can not submit a quick custom from the list? I say hey if someone wants to submit somthing from the quick custom list then so be it.... Danny is well aware of that list and it will lessen the persons chances of winning if they steal from it but wont stop the person sending it in have the fun of making it..... Just my opinion... BTW Danny are all the entries going to be shown on your site or just the winners? I wanna see what people are sending in T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 All the quick customs will be featured in a gallery. And yes, I know about the quick-custom lists but just because it features on there doesn't mean that someone hasn't thought it through themselves either. If I said people couldn't do anything from that list I'd get about 2 entires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 If I said people couldn't do anything from that list I'd get about 2 entires I figured as much, just making sure. Does a naked Emma Frost count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch77 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Ahh, a contest after my own heart Looking forward to seeing the entries!! All new entries will be added to the QC lists too. Also if you think of more QC's, don't be shy, post them in the lists as well and I'll get them added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andimus Prime Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'm totally in, I'm bad at painting so I've made alot of quick customs. I have 2 questions: Accessories, do they have to be pure Minimate (Ie: no items made from Lego's or Gi Joe weapons)? Also will the entries be judged by total comic book accuracy or style (for example one of my potential entries has the same color scheme as the charcters costume but in diffrent areas because if I went for total accuracy it would come out looking weird)? Also do you want us to send in a parts recipe along with our entrie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Oooh some good questions. "Does a naked Emma Frost count?" - Absolutely. In fact it's probably a contender to win, except you'd probably have to use the Gollum torso piece eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! And more seriously for Andimus's questions: "Accessories, do they have to be pure Minimate (Ie: no items made from Lego's or Gi Joe weapons)?" - Pure Minimate "Also will the entries be judged by total comic book accuracy or style?" - Style. Comic book accuracy is nice if you can get it but it's the overall look and style that I will be judging. "Also do you want us to send in a parts recipe along with our entrie?" - Yes please. It's not mandatory for the contest but will help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thanks, now its down to which custom I want to use. I had that problem too, I think that after the contest is done we'll start a thread for out 'leftovers' T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great idea, I have a few figures I want to use but won't because I think they might be open to interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey Danny, When are we going to see a Gallery of those that have been entered? -I'm itching to see what they guys have come up with and maybe having some QC pix will inspire others to play along too!

Donny B Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Some of those look pretty sweet! I was just thinking the other day how a Lobo minimate might look - and that one custom is exceptional, especially considering it was made totally of pre-made parts. Just one question, though - what was the skirt for Supergirl made from? *btw - I think that's probably my favorite of all the entries so far, minus the fact that her skirt doesn't exactly cover her *ahem* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Gah everyone points out Supergirls Kryptonian bits Its Dawns skirt, but backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
