2012 Customs Awards DEADLINE for nominations EXTENDED
We're open for business. Please email your nominations of completed customs posted in 2012 to [email protected] by midnight January 9th. With a few tweaks and additions to what was discussed earlier, categories are listed below. Once I have all of the nominations, I'll put together the polls and open the voting.
And the categories are:
1) 8" Original Megoey - Meaning a custom figure that would look like if Mego would have made it. It should use materials like those that Mego used (i.e. same type of fabric, vinyl. etc.), removable accessories (gloves, boots, shoes, helmets, weapons, etc.), Type 0, I or II bodies and a Megoish vinyl/rubber/plastic head (Mego, LJN, Tomland, AHI, CTVT, CAT well you get the idea but definitely NO resin casted heads here). You can slightly modify head i.e. root hair (or flock) to it but should look like if it was factory made by Mego. Items used to build figure can be repro, original Mego or a mix.
a) Comic Book character
b) Movie / TV character
c) Custom Series or Wave of figures
d) Original figure
2) 8" Type3/Evolutionary - Meaning a custom figure that has the essentials of a Mego figure (poseable body with cloth/fabric costume). Here you can use any Mego Like body: EMCE, Mattel Retro Action, CTVT, Cast-A-Way Toys, or any body of your own creation & design. Gloves, Boots, Belts, Armors, etc used can be of your own design or repro. Heads can be casted of resin or any other and doesn't have to look Megoish. That means that heads can have artistic rendition sculpting, Alex Ross, Tim Bruckner, etc. or your own realistic sculpting rendition character rendition.
