Re: Current discount codes at SSC and other random rumblings
If only I got paid for this! Nope, just a hobby that I only do at Halloween. It started about 5 years ago when an Iron Man carving I did turned out vastly better than expected. Since then I've tried to one up myself each year. I really only do one major carving per year, that's it.

Haha, thanks! Unfortunately its not been that simple. I have entered this contest every single year since 2009. I did win in 2012 for my Avengers pumpkins, but that was a Facebook vote (which many people were not happy about). The Sideshow judges have never once chosen me... They seem to gravitate more toward the more out of the box carvings versus stuff like mine (for example one year a carving was chosen of a pumpkin, about 4 or 5 inches across, that was carved to look somewhat like Iron Man's arc reactor). I dont get it, I guess, but its not my place to complain! So we'll see, I guess

I think once you're at the level you're showing here, a lot of places that are judging "everyman" submissions are just going to skip you over.
Amazing work - out of context one might not even think "pumpkin" when they see that.

Understandable, though in that case may as well put something in the contest description because its just as unfair to me.... Being skipped because i happen to have skill? I don't do this JUST for this contest, I do it because i enjoy it, the contest is just something I stumbled across a few years ago as i was just getting into collecting. However if my submission is going to be skipped I may as well stop submitting, ya know? Again, I'm not a judge so whatever they do, they do. Glad you guys liked this years creation, though!

Do you have a picture of the pumpkin in the daylight? This thing is so good I don't even understand how it's a pumpkin. Ha! Well done. Hope you win. Didn't even realize Groot was in there too.
The carving contest was through email. You just had to email your submission to [email protected]. What did you hear back about, winning? There have been no announced winners at all or anything... that was sort of my point, that so far there has been NO information. The gallery that they were posting the carving pictures in has the same 16 or so pictures it had from the very start. I sent a message to the sideshow FB page to see if they have any updates. Obviously I'm interested to know if I placed in the contest!
Here is my entry, just for fun

Simply jaw dropping. Thanks for sharing that. I was showing my girlfriend over dinner and we were trying to fathom how you got all those tiny details nailed.

IMSUIT is good for 20% Iron Man products right now. Most are what was already on sale during Spook, but they added the 902014 Iron Patriot Diecast to the list. Comes out to less than $200 after reward points.
