And to kickoff the next Challenge, The 2nd SIDESHOW FREAKS CUSTOM FIGURE CHALLENGE, I say, let's submit ideas that we all would like to see as a category for the next one.

You've all seen how a Challenge works now, from the Image thread, to the Comments thread, and how they compliment each other. To get to another set of those, we need to collectively submit ideas, categories, and areas of interest, and then, have us a poll after we have narrowed down categories to a reasonable few.
The poll with come later.

As for now, just post here what you'd like to see.
It can be just about anything, just remember, the more open the catergory, ie. a popular suggested one already, ZOMBIES, then the customizers can do anything, and exercise more freedom, than if your category is more limited, like say, Star Wars Villain. You could say, Unsung Star Wars character, but you will still only appeal to Star Wars fans or collectors. But, still, post something. Out of this list will come our poll. I'd also say, post your ideas by next Sunday. That way we have time to start the poll by then. It may only be up a week as well.

I will start this list by posting a couple,

First, the aforementioned,
ZOMBIES
And to that I will add,
BARBARIANS

That gives the official ongoing list these (I will update this list in this post as we add to it...)


ZOMBIES
BARBARIANS
APOCALYPTIC CHARACTERS
BOUNTY HUNTERS
HITMEN/ASSASSINS
ALIEN BEING/SPACE ALIEN
VID GAME CHARACTERS
COMICS HEROE/VILLAIN
CAMEO CHARACTERS
PORN STARS
DOUBLE SETS (2 figures)
SIDESHOW EXPANDED LINES

and when...(for further debate)
2 MONTH CHALLENGE??
4 MONTH (concluding at Halloween)





Now, it's your turn.
Anyone can make a suggestion, and any of us can comment on any ideas here. When there is a decent list, with not too many, but enough that seem realisticly feasible, the poll will be posted.

Also, a longer time frame until the next opening date, may be a better idea for this next one. I suggest at least 3 months, if not longer. Maybe, just before or by Halloween? But at least three months. Discuss this aspect as you go if you want. It would be nice to theme it if this kind of date is set. Not that we have to.


Anyway, Have at it! And enjoy! :D

Bounty Hunters! (not neccessarilly Star Wars)

Although a fantasy catergory sounds cool!!!
 
I think a cool idea would be for y'all to take the same Head and nude body and make your figs.
 
Custom 80's or early 90's figures. Like The Lost Boys, or Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure. Oh, or even BettleJuice. That would be fun as well. Or the cast of The Young Guns. Oh yeah, Point Break! Who wouldn't want a Johny Utah fig. LOL! If you can't tell I grew up in those years so that is what would be cool to me the most.

I've liked this notion since the idea of how use of all the Bucks came in on the last one.
Not against this idea at all. But it still needs discussion as to what kind of figure...maybe...:dunno

And Pix...what's with "Y'all"? You need to join us next go round fella! :D
 
I'm down for Zombies (probably my #1 pick) ... I think you could have a lot of fun options with that one.

Assassins is a good one too, but we seemed to have already gotten a number of those with the female category.

Barbarians would also be nice.

And just to add my own idea
Space Aliens
(completely open-ended)
 
I really like Space Aliens!!! Leaves a lot of territory, of course I'm also interested in the Zombie challenhe, and the hitman one as it kinda goes along with boutny hunters.
 
1-10 second charaters you see you see in movie sometimes and think hey he was pretty cool.
Character from novels or comics who have not yet been animated of films.

Though if it is for Holloween, id would be cool to make it what people dress up as. Which is everything really. But Horror for Halloween seems to be perfect. Zombies, Aliens, Phycotic Killers, Monsters thers alot of choice, just like the female contest where she could be what ever you wanted as long as it was a lass.
 
I definitely like the zombies idea.

I think the challenge should be very open. I'd hate to see it limited to one specific body type or very specific characters. One of the coolest things about the last challenge was the wide variety of female customs we had.

I think a "doubles" competition would be neat. Make a pair of figures that complement each other...like r2d2 & c3po or Batman & Robin, etc. Like the Newt & Ripley made or even the David Mills with the head in the box like Josh made. There could be tons of possibilities there...how about a bride & groom zombie set?:D
