CONTEST: What would you do with 20 Legions Storm Shadows?

Cue announcer......

Bob:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to another exciting edition of "Hasbo Made A Crappy Figure And Put It In A Multipack!" Today, we'll see which of our contestants can figure out the BEST use of TWENTY Legions Storm Shadow figures!"

Johnny:
"Wow Bob, that sounds like QUITE a challenge! No one even knows what to do with two or three, not to mention TWENTY!"

Bob:
"That's right Johnny, it's not going to be easy. That's why we're offering a GREAT PRIZE for the winner!

What do we have for them Johnny?"

Johnny:
"Well Bob, the winner of this contest will receive... A LEGIONS STORMSHADOW!!! Back to you, Bob!"

Bob:
"That's right ladies and gentlemen! The Hisstank winner who has the BEST idea will win ONE LEGIONS STORM SHADOW figure absolutely FREE!!!

So go ahead contestants! Post your ideas here, and we'll pick a winner on Monday night, January 21, 2008 right here on HISSTANK!!!

The winner will be determined by the best answer as determined by our fair and balanced judge, Derek2783! Be it funny, serious, or just plain incoherent, he will choose his favorite answer... by no real method at all, save his mere whim!

Thanks to our sponsor, the illustrious (and really, really, ridiculously good looking) DEREK2783!!!"

Cue funky theme music......

I don't know about this sponsor and his claims

And are we talking about for customs or for out-of-the-box ideas (Like gluing them together to make a chain)?

That's the beauty of "no real method at all, save his mere whim!"... I don't quite know how I'll determine the winner yet!

But I'll probably lean more towards custom ideas, although the chain idea is pretty cool.....

From a funny standpoint I would put hooks on them and place them on a white christmas tree next year with red bows and balls.

From a custom standpoint, if I was a troop builder, I might pop different heads on 19 of them and make an Arashikage ninja training group headed by the other 1 Storm Shadow I had left over.

I'll tell you what I'd do. Two chicks at the same time.

Chicks dig dudes with 20 Storm Shadows and I figure I could pull that off.

Custom: I'm thinking GI Joe meets Cirque de Soleil

Hmmm, how about a Chess Set?

Have 16 SS's as pawns (Paint 8 black and 8 white) and work on the other 16 pieces in some other way.
Might be a good way to use up some other extra figures you might have, too. Maybe paint them to look like pewter or marble?

Line them up and knock them over like Dominoes.

M-80s.

Glue them to your dashboard, or better yet all over your car, they can be assulting it from many directions. One could be a hood Ornament.

Attach each one to a bunch of balloons with a note requesting pictures of where they wind up.

Attach parachutes to them and throw them off the tallest building in town.

Mail them back to Hasbro with a note saying we don't want main line characters in troop builder packs.

Custom Idea: Paint them as RAH Ninja Vipers and do your own mail in offer accepthing Flag Points.

Make a diorama!

Ingredients:
20 LSS
1 SSv1
Various Cobra brass (CC/Destro/twins/etc)
Custom 25th Dr. Mindbender (or just snag an old one and pretend)
20 small glasses

Prep: Set up SSv1 on an examination table of some sort, hooked up to a machine operated by Mindbender. Place the Cobra brass figs nearby.

Directions: Pose the LSS's however you wish on a microwave-safe platter, and place a small glass over each. Microwave on HIGH for 90 seconds, or until sufficiently melty (cooking times may vary). Set aside to cool.

Serving suggestion: Arrange glasses as desired, garnishing with wires (both frayed and intact) leading to whatever background scenery happens to be available. Pose non-melty Cobra figures in panic/anger/facepalm as appropriate.

Nutrition information: It's probably best to avoid any and all fumes.

----------------------------------------------------
Mindbender: How could this happen? I was SO close to imparting Storm Shadow's superior skills onto this army of second-rate clones! T_T

Cobra Commander: YOOOOUUUU IIDIIIIOOOT! BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M REALLY PISSED! >_<

Tomax: Another investment... (._.)

Xamot: ...down the drain. (._.)

Destro: DUKE! How did you get in here?!?!?! O_O

Duke: Remember kids, it's always best to just let the clones eat the dolphin! ^_^

Destro: Now I kn- ...wait what? O_o

Duke: And knowing's half the battle! YO JOE! ^_^-b

{FANFARE}
