2nd SSF Figure Challenge development/idea thread

[customizerwannabe]

A specific body and head sculpt would be cool but not practical. Make it so people don't have to spend the money and time to buy the parts needed. Plus it would be more of a who did better than who game. By not going that route everyone has a totally unique entry to be judged on it's own merit and not against someone elses work.

How about since this is a SSC forum, why don't we from the pick a lines (Like the dead) that they already have, and maybe expand on them.

Personally I love the dead idea but maybe we should have two challenges, the latter landing around Halloween for the zombies. Its effectively four months and I think two months might be more do-able, plus after four months, enthusiasm might wane.

The list so far (Echoed from the first post in this thread...)



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)





I know I won't be able to do one (or more) in two months, but can by four, but that doesn't mean you guys can't have one that soon. I just hope there's more time than one month.

If you would, discuss it a bit more before we have a poll.
Whittle these down a bit, or specify what you visuallize or like about the ones we have already first. A bit. Then, in a day or so, I'll post a poll.
I don't think there's been enough discussion on these yet, to poll them.
Defend why you want or like a certain idea a bit more.
We need to have no more than 6 total categories to poll. See if you guys can whittle these down to six. That way, we will have at least thought these through some more.

And if anyone has anymore, add them!

Cool ideas so far... Maybe Apocalyptic figs? Or fantasy figs?

I'd be in for that. Might make me finish my Mad Max lol.

Same here... I've had that on the back burner for a looong time, really need to make that one a reality.

Yeah, zombies never get old to me... and you can make a million of them really fast and fairly cheap.

 

[rabidwolverine21]

yea i have to say the zombies are started to sound awesome, ive been thinking of some real cool ones i could do.

 

[Captain Faramir]

How about non-humans! Aliens, monsters, whatever. Customikeys mermaid was great, why not have a whole slew of figures like that?

 

[galactiboy]

These would be my six choices in no particular order...

ZOMBIES
BARBARIANS
APOCALYPTIC CHARACTERS
BOUNTY HUNTERS
ALIEN BEING/SPACE ALIEN
DOUBLE SETS (2 figures)

I like the idea of maybe a 2 month challenge, then we could always have a follow-up for Halloween 2 months later.

Back to the Future

Brody, Hooper and Quint from Jaws

I say we start the image thread by having somebody write out an introduction to a story. If we do the zombie storyline, we'd need a basic setup, like how the virus started, a fictional town as the setting, etc. and then let people work their characters in by adding to the basic storyline and posting their pics of their characters. We could even allow "zombie hunters" or "survivors" customs to add to the story.

then, when the figure challenge is done, we should have a nice little storyline fleshed out with characters.

 

[customizerwannabe]

A month or 2 should be enough time for most people I would think. My guess is after we poll this out zombies are going to be the winner. Easy enough for anyone to do, but challenging to make something really different. We'll see. Can't wait for the poll.:chew

That is a really cool idea... and gives people options of making "survivors" of various types. It could be pretty cool. I'm really excited no matter what we end up doing... this is fun.

zombie porn stars....cool or gross...

I'd love to see some video game based custom figures!
