Combo Contest #2 Results

Almost 100 entries... 282 arms... 152 heads... 17 Hats... 9 pairs of glasses... 8 Lincolns... 7 Buzz... 2 Claws... Lots of creativity. We had so many entries, we had to find a way to acknowlage as many as we could. So we created a some categories: Best Combo Figure, Best Group, Best Word Play, Best Story, and Best Complete Picture. But only one of those winners was named best of show and will receive a Kidada 9" Vinylmation. The other category winners will also be rewarded with a Vinylmation. Thank you to everyone who entered, it was fun looking through all the pictures. Let's get on with the show... It's time to announce the Winners of Combo Contest #2!

Arms: Kevin Flynn (TRON)
Hat: Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tails)
Glasses: Minnie Mouse (Nerds Rock!)

"I was just playing around with different combinations and all of a sudden I had Elton John!" - Stephanie

"After looking through the entries separately, both M.C. and I had this one at the top. A perfect representation of a young Elton John. Extremely creative and all the pieces look great together." - Nick

BEST GROUP

by Beverly Schieman

Heads: Stormtrooper, Yoda, C-3PO, Leia, Darth Vader
Bodys: Nerds Rock! Goofy, Chip, Dale, Donald, Minnie

"This look like Nick and I when we go to MegaCon or a Vinylmation release. I love the idea of the Nerds wearing Star Wars character masks." - M.C.

BEST WORD PLAY

Mushu Pork
by The Moores

Head: Mushu (Animation 1)
Body: Hamm (Toy Story)

"Sometimes a design isn't intricate, but when you see it, it just instantly makes you smile. This is one of those that I couldn't get out of my head and it had to be at the top. Great use of combo parts and name." - Nick

BEST STORY

The Many Forms of Madam Mim
by Konrad

Head: Madam Mim (Villains 1)
Bodies: Mim, Rex, Squirrel, Bird, Pink Elephant, Tiger, Kaa, Bonzi, Little Green Dragon
Other: Cauldron (Jr. 1)

"A lot of work. A lot of creativity. Good use of the vinyl out there to show the story of a classic Disney character. Konrad took 1st and 2nd in this category." - M.C.

BEST COMPLETE PHOTO
Colonel Mustard
by Robert

Head: Mustard (Condiments)
Body: Colonel (Park 4)

"Some combos need some extra elements to put them over the top. This figure alone, may not have cracked a top 3, but put it with a scene from Clue and some text, and it becomes an instant classic." - Nick
