GI Joe custom contest at the One-Sixth Xpo

[Doktor Von Evil]

I posted pictures from the 1/6 Xpo show this weekend in the general section but I thought I would make a post of the GI Joe figures in the contest as well. Some really cool entries, some I recognized from here:

I'm sorry Seb, those weren't your entries?

 

[elvis1976]

[SirGor]

Those were cool I voted for Zartan.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Oh, ok. I think I get it, people bought your awesome customs and then entered them into the contest. Now I get what all the hub-bub was all about.

Just the Zartan I think.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

that is super weak sauce if someone entered someone elses work into a contest (unless they were doing it as proxy FOR the creator).

 

[elvis1976]

Well those are figure I sold.

The zartan was different though, the buyers made some changes.
I like my version better. lol

That's right Mr. McD!

So do I Seb, those camo pants work more with the look of Zartan.

Yeah, I understand the switch to the Royce/Wolverine bod, but curious why they went with purple.

 

[elvis1976]

Yeah i understand the body switch, althoug I liked the belly parts more on the old muscle body.
THe royce body give him strange proportions.
And that purple pants :-(

 

[ProgMatinee]

If they changed the figure significantly I think its a little bit ok that they enter the item in a contest.

I always thought entering a contest should be based on your own merit.

Should have just been there as an exhibit and not an entry to a contest, but I digress, not a criminal offense or anything.

That is a piss poor way to pawn of a custom as your own. Meaning switching the body out like that with fancy purple pants.
