CustomCon 9
October 6, 2003
- October 10, 2003
CustomCon shows off the custom action figures
of many different Customizers. It is in the format of a fictional
toy action figure trade show or convention. There are daily
reports and pictures of the action figures that are participating
in the CustomCon.
You can visit the previous
CustomCons to get an idea of what we are planning to do.
ENTRY DEADLINE:
The deadline will be Sunday September 21, 2003.
ENTRY GUIDELINES:
So how can you participate? Well, the key is to make several
figures that would be in the same toy line. You could make
a new wave of DC Direct figures (a current series), a new
wave of Star Trek figures (a previous series). You can also
make a line of Super-Duper Creep Busting figures! (That would
be your own unique line.) You could also make figures based
on something like Kingdom Come, or Heroes Reborn. Even Knight
Rider, Galaxy Quest, or Wrestling. (That is to say, movies
and TV series are open too.) Basically, the sky's the limit!
Just make sure each group of figures shares a common theme.
You should come up with a name for your line of figures if
it's an original line, and give some sort of description of
the action figure line.
Custom packaging is, of course, an option, but it is certainly
not required.
If possible, we would ask that you photograph the figures
so that it looks like they are on display at a convention.
If you have custom packaging, it's best to have pictures both
loose and in the packages.
This year, there's no limit on
how few customs you have to submit for a line. 4 or more would
be appreciated, but any number is
fine.
Thank you,
Joe Acevedo

Ready to Submit your ENTRY?
Send your submissions to joeacevedo@yahoo.com.
Please e-mail me the following:
- Your first and last name,
or just the nickname you go by online. Your preference.
- Your email address.
- Your custom figure website address,
if applicable.
- A picture of yourself,
(OPTIONAL).
- The name of your figure line.
- Any custom logos you wish to
use for your toyline. (OPTIONAL)
- E-mail me pictures of your figures.
I only have 6MB of total space in my e-mail account.
I empty it as the pictures come in so that others
can send theirs. So if you
can, please send me One single ZIP file with
all of your pictures of the customs. These can be
GIF or JPG format. They may be resized slightly to
fit on the webpages. Rest assured, I will do my best
to not lose any detail of the customs.
- A Description of what they were
made from (your toy recipe). Please do not
send an MS Word (.doc) file, as I won't be able to
read it. Please type, or "copy & paste"
this into an e-mail, or you can also send it as a
(.html) file if you want.
- A Description of the action figure
line (convention write-up report). Please do
not send an MS Word (.doc) file, as I won't be able
to read it. Please type, or "copy & paste"
this into an e-mail, or you can also send it as a
(.html) file if you want.
- If your page has special requirements for the appearance,
please let me know. I'll definitely be willing to
work with you on the appearance if you're meticulous
about that sort of thing. All of the pages will have
joeacevedo.com's shared borders. (i.e. My site navigation
at the top and the CustomCon menu at the left.)
- If for any reason, you can't follow any of these
directions due to technical issues, please email me
so that we can work something out. One acceptable
technical issue would be your ZIP file being bigger
than your Internet Provider will allow to be sent
through email.
