Cobra Island Dio Contest

[C.I.A.D.]

Check it out, folks!:


That's right folks! To celebrate Cobra Island's (HissTank's Cobra BFF) relaunch, and the upcoming changes (oh yes, there's still more coming!) we are giving you fans out there an amazing opportunity.

The contest itself is simple. Take your toys and create a Dio-scene or Dio-Story, something related to Cobra Island. It can be something from the comics, a panel or two, it can be a comic cover featuring something on Cobra Island. It's up to you to get creative!

So get out there and get started! http://www.cobraisland.com/images/smilies/grinning-smiley-044.gif


The Grand Prize winner will receive ONE (1) highly coveted CobraIsland.com Exclusive Sea Snake N.L.C. which was created for our members by our wonderful staff, including Apacolypse, C.I.A.D., SingSingJohnny, Owner of a Lonely B.A.T., Clone Trooper, and TheWyseOne, to help celebrate our 5th Anniversary last year.

You should, man! I tell you what, I love the box that was made just as much as I love the custom boat. Apac really went all out detailing every little button & panel (on the boat). SSJ did killer work on the graphics (if you look close, there's a Gorilla face in the 6 pack shaped like the Hasbro H on the front of the box). It was definitely a labor of love. Something we made for the guys on the board. Now we get to share the love with our Tank brethren! :D

it has saddened me. i would love to partake in said contest.
i am far from asset to such a site, but alas... i do have
the desire to contribute a thoughtful diorama for said contest.

[dsrader]

This sounds really awesome,I might try to put something together!!!!!!

[C.I.A.D.]

Gyre, it's fixededed.

FYI guys, there will be a 2nd & 3rd prize..but we haven't figured out exactly what yet. More than likely a gift card to target for one, some MISB/MOSC schwag for another.

Any and all dios submitted will also be posted here (in one post, highlighting the submission). This contest is meant to be a fun diversion for our friends, not a traffic grab.

Anything you want, as long as it's Cobra Island related! Heck, it could be pipe-viper's unclogging a toilet on Cobra Island...as long as it's Cobra Island related you're golden! :D

can a non-member enter?

Sorry, Arthur :( No sir, You have to be a member. I know that sounds kinda iffy...because it sounds like we're telling you to join there. It's not like that, FYI. Cobra Island/Hisstank = BFF. Hisstank is the Meat & potatoes of the meal, CI is the dessert afterwards. :)

does it have to be one pic?


Dude, as many pics as you want! Hell, take 100...the more the better!

[RolandofGilead]

The last time I tried something like this, my closeup pictures came out like crap. I have no idea how to photograph action figures.

Why do you have to be a customizer? You could have submited that old sig of yours, but just had Joe Thornton getting attacked by BATS instead. :)
