PlaidStallions Turns Nine Contest!

[RSS]

It took me by complete surprise this week that it has been nine years to this day that I decided to start this blog.

Many thanks to my then infant daughter for taking a long nap on April 26, 2006 (she doesn't take so many these days) and giving me the time to begin this journey.

I really have to thank all of you for making this experience a dream, for commenting here and on the facebook page, for writing in, listening to the podcast and for making my book a success.

I am eternally grateful for the friends I've made and experiences I've had through this site.


To show that gratitude I'm having another contest:

Create a Rack Toy Contest!

I've done contests here before but this one was cooked up by my pal and podcast partner Jason Lenzi and it's brilliant.


Concept: Pick the most inane 1970s TV, comic or movie property you can think of and marry it with the most inappropriate rack toy you can think of.


Here's an example I drafted up (you don't have to mock anything up to enter):

Email your ideas to kid70sgmail.com (replace the with an @) I'll pick the winners in Mid May and I'll even try to mock up the three best concepts.

Prizes:




3rd Place: A copy of my book Rack Toys: Cheap Crazed Playthings




2nd Place: A Brick Mantooth action figure on a limited edition "Woolco" card







1st Prize: An Official Brick Mantooth Sky Diving Parachutist Figure Mint on Card.

Thanks again to everybody for reading, listening, supporting and joining in on the fun, it's made my life better.


I look forward to your entries!

Does it have to be a physical mock up, or can it be a photoshop job?

[palitoy]

It just has to be an idea.

Based on the mockup, I just realized Todd "Willis" Bridges was on Fish's own show.

How cool.

would an Ironside motorcycle be wrong?
