Welcome to Gyre-Viper and Chief_1's overly-complicated custom contest!

There are 3 categories:

1. Manimal - custom build your own Manimal. It can be a re-imagining of a classic, or something from the depths of your imagination...

2. Movie Character - Any movie, any character. Silent Bob? Large Marge? The Waterboy? Go for it...

3. Unproduced 25th/ME - Any character from the G.I. Joe universe that hasn't been made / remade in the 25th/ME styling yet. Footloose, Billy, RoC Breaker in RIA, etc...


There will be 3 winners picked from each category, and one grand prize winner that can be from any category.

-The figures must contain G.I. Joe figure parts, but they may be from any era, and may contain parts from any other toy line or whatever you have lying around to kit bash with.

-While category #3 must be in the 25th/ME style, the other 2 categories are wide open for ARAH O-ring, Sigma-6, VvV, 12", ME or any style of Joe figure i may have missed.

All entries must be created for this contest. Any customs already created and posted on the Tank or at any other site are not valid for entry.

All entries must be posted in this thread.

NOTE: While Gyre-Viper is involved in this, it is NOT a slaughterhouse contest. Entries done in a overly silly manner will not be considered ( crazy Large Marge head = OK / The cast of The Godfather made from Mr. Potato Heads = Not OK)
Any questions on this, PM Chief_1 or Gyre-Viper.

Prizes: TBA

Contest Deadline: 08 June, 2010 / 2359 EST

I personally am very excited about this contest.
It's been a long time in the making.
This will be a chance for Cdt Weasel to stretch his
meerkat paws and finally get to be on the other side
of the fence which I know he's been dying to do
since we started the Slaughterhouse gig. So watch your backs
cuz I know he's got some pent up glory in him.
As for prizes... they're not all GI JOE.
Hopefully none of you are doing this for prizes.
Ya bags.
I personally don't think the prizes are super amazing
but Chief assures me they are ample.
And if you're a customizer who isn't a particular fan
of myself (or Chief for that matter) please know that you
are more than welcome to participate.
This is isn't about us, it's about you as a customizer.
Anyways... I'm really excited and hope a lot of you
participate and have fun with it.
And I hope you all submit at least one entry into each
category.

Ohh if my WS_Toys order gets here soon enough I'll have an entry for #3. Shame none of the other projects I have really fit into any of these categories. I'm not concerned with winning prizes, just with letting Gyre down lol.

2 questions:

Yes, within reason

2. Can the Unproduced 25th figure be an improved version of one Hasbro has already done (wrong)?

It should be a character not released in the new styling yet. for example...

Example 1.
Classic (1983) Cover girl was never released as a 25th figure, so submit!

RoC Cover Girl was released. Don't submit.

Example 2.
(1984) Mutt was released as a 25th figure, Don't submit.

Slaughter's Marauders Mutt was not released, so submit!


This category is designed to hit the missed ARAH figures from the 25th line, but also to open the door to every side character from Joe fiction that was never made...

Again, if you have a question on an idea you have, post it here or PM me...

There is no limit on entries. If all of you are willing to take the time and effort to create an entry, we will be happy to consider it for the contest.

That being said, i think at this point i should mention that there are no "team" entries, so if you have multiple characters that share a common theme, please enter them each seperately, not as a group... i.e. If you do the Maginficent Seven.... Please make seven entries...

My email was acting up today, so if you did email me, and I didn't respond to you, please email me at dansjoes.com@cox.net, and send me examples of your customs. What I'm possibly introducing will require some creativity and sculpting skills....so the more you show, the better. I look forward to see some more samples....

sorry I haven't commented on any entries yet.
I learned during the slaughterhouse contests
to pace myself with commenting and
doing it in groups otherwise it gets lost
in the shuffle and then people are like 'how come you didn't say
anything' and I say... 'but I did silly.'
so i'm waiting to see what else emerges over the weekend.

Having run contests with Gyre, I know this is his way of saying "You lousy lot haven't impressed me yet, hopefully someone will soon so I dont have to find a short pier to take a long walk off of".


Actually the entries so far are pretty sweet, think I'm gonna fall short in the 3rd category, so gotta pray my Manimal rocks the house.

there has been movies about Abe Lincoln so that's why i ask just want to make sure i understand completely

If this were your choice, and Lincoln was played in the movie by Tim Roth, you would want to started with the hulkbuster tim roth head, and turn him into lincoln just like they did for that movie.

04-08-2010, 10:32 PM
movie characters? as in a real person? or has to be a character ? or famous person in general ?

Took it to mean it should look like say, R.J. MacReady, played by Kurt Russel. Search for Chief's ZED from ZARDOZ custom. you'll get the idea, It looks like Zed/Sean Connery.

Destro's Son caught my meaning.... Sorry if i wasn't clear.

I realize now "movie" is a term that can be taken many ways...

By movie character, i mean a character from a movie that has been released in theaters, and we are able to easily access photos/screenshots to see how you did capturing the likeness...

This does not limit it to American cinema, but realize if you are going to a custom of Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor from his smash hit Rang De Basanti, we may have a hard time judging this...

I won't be telling you every detail needs to be there... Let's be real... Even Hasbro took a few artistic liberties when recreating all of the characters from the 25th line... But the idea is to take the character and bring it into the modern styling...


This is the best way to say it: The figure should be close enough to the source material to fit in with a new wave of 25th figures hitting the pegs...

I don't want to go any deeper than that, because you are all artists, and this is your vision of the figure...

what is a "manimal"?

You can find pictures of all the Manimals here (http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/) and it's history here (http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/vortex-m.shtml)

I'm still trying to think of something to do.
Too bad TV shows aren't included.

Evening Chaps.
This is my first entry in catergory 3 : Unproduced 25th/ME - Any character from the G.I. Joe universe that hasn't been made / remade in the 25th/ME styling yet.

This entry is from the UK Action Force collection. He is from Space Force and was sold under the title Pilot. However his codename was "Hot Jets".

Ready for action.

Would the Real Ghostbuster please stand up!?

OK Guys this if my first entry into the contest. Of course it fits into the Movie Character Category, so without further ado I present to you The Real Ghostbuster Ray Stantz with Slimer.

Ray is built using mostly GI Joe Pit Commando Parts, the Proton Pack, Ghost Trap and PKE meter are all kitbashed using lots of GI Joe parts, random Star Wars parts and some Apoxie Sculpt.

Slimer however was completely sculpted by hand.

You can see all of my photos on my flickr site.

A scavenger by nature with an ultra keen sense of smell, Night Rat uses his hearing and sense of smell to track down a helmet to enhance his vision (as rats only have 10-20% vision).
