Kids custom figure Experience to MM '23
In the Wheeling days of Mego Meet we had a customs contest. Members cranked out high end custom figures during the meet. There was a traveling statue that was awarded along with other prizes.
But kids would also contribute. Eventually, we dropped the adult contest and the kids shared the trophy and received the prizes.
It is one of the things that makes the meet fun - not just for the handful of kids making the customer, but for everyone who interacts with them as they seek out pats and advice.
It is a contest, but it is more than that. This is and Experience.
It is a fun way to experience Mego Meet. It is a great way to experience art. It is a great way to experience the love of Mego.
My daughter and former participant Lily and I will be organizing. We will only be at the meet on Sunday this year.
The way it works:
Be a kid (not just one at heart) and be at mego meet. There is no official registration. Just do it.
Start and finish the figure(s) between the start of the meet and 3:00 Sunday. -yes, you can work on it outside of the meet in the evenings and mornings.
Get all items for your figure at the meet.
There is a rumor that one body will be provided for each kid.
Go around to vendors and buy parts. (Historically there are frequently 50-100% discounts from dealers for kid customizers. Just let them know you are doing the contest)
Work with others building for more fun.
Present your finished figure to me by 3:00 Sunday. (If a kid won't be there Sunday, give it to someone you trust to present -I'll mail it to you later).
There will be a winner announced - But ALL participants will receive really cool prizes!!!
More than one entry per kid is permitted.
If you have questions or cont find us, text me (614)267-7626 -Brue
