Minimates Central Quick Custom Contest

It's another fantastic Minimates Central contest! One of the best things about Minimates is their interchangability. Want Catwoman to wear Bruce Wayne's hair and pretend to be Angelina Jolie? You can. This contest is designed to celebrate this strength by showing what can be achieved with a few parts swaps.



What Do I Have To Do?

It's very simple - Using any Minimates and their accessories, create another figure. They can be based off existing Marvel or DC characters, or movies, or rock bands or, well, anything you can think of really. Want to try creating a Neo from Blade's trenchcoat and glasses and Assault Punishers guns (lots of guns)? Go ahead. With 11 waves of Marvel, several DC heavy-hitters, the new Street Fighter Minimates and the Indiemates, there are a wide array of masks and jackets, belts, gloves and boots. See what you can come up with. Check out the gallery below to see what others have come up with.

Once it's complete, take a couple of good pics of your creation that really show it off, and send them to competition@minimatescentral.com.

What Can I Win?

The best three submissions will receive a Japanese Street Fighter II blind-boxed Minimate - be the envy of all your friends with this hot Japanese-only packaging! As if that wasn't enough, the best three submissions will also receive an Emerald City Comic-Con Promo Minimate, still in its baggie.

What Are The Rules?

The pictures will go into a photo gallery on Minimates Central - see the gallery below.

The competition is open to the world.

Do not paint or modify any of the pieces to create your custom. These customs should be able to be replicated by anyone with the right Minimates parts.

One entry per person, please. If you have more than one custom, pick your best!

Entries will be judged by a 3-man panel, who will be looking for fun, creative and innovative designs.

Pictures should be around 1024 x 768 in size - doesn't need to be any bigger than that as all pics will be cropped and resized anyway, and in JPG format. That's important because if you use a file type that I can't view, then it can't be judged.



After careful deliberation the panel of judges have picked a top 3:


1st place winner! Flash Gordon by John Thorne

2nd place winner! X-23 by GillBob316

3rd place winner! Wonder Man by TJB


Congratulations to them!
