Yakfinities #50 - THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

[YAK_Chewie]

Sjefke, if I was one of the judges for this contest you totally would have taken the prize. Your Cane Adiss action figure is my pick for Star Wars custom action figure of the year! What I wouldn't give to have that action figure! The amount of articulation you added to that figure was just astounding and well appreciated. You should definitely mold and cast your headsculpts. I really love how you documented your entire process. So much work went into it, but it totally paid off. I tip my hat.

Can't tell you what an honor it is to win the Grand Prize at Yakfinities #50 :shock: ! I'm on CLoud 9 This is the first forum I ever started showing my figures in and this win will always hold a lot of sentimental value for me. Especially because it was #50! So many amazing entries from so many talented artists. Can't wait to see the round up report!

I bet you Remco's happy. He owns the winning pair :wink:

Well deserved!

And just for clarification in case there is any confusion, Sjefke is also walking away as a dual Grand Prize Winner for his Cane Adiss.

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Congrats guys. VERY cool pieces.

Agreed, these are fantastic... I just can't take my eyes off them.

:wink:

 

[darth naes]

I don't envy the judges. I definitely agree with the winning choices though. Amazing. Congrats to the winners and I'm looking forward to the round up.

I understood. Just bad writing on my part. I wasn't clear enough with what I was saying. I should have wrote, "Sjefke, if I was one of the judges for this contest you totally would have taken the prize all by yourself and there would be no tie."

 

[darth_sidious]

Congrats guys, that was a great contest - I still cant get over the Cane Adiss custom - maybe you should send a picture to Hasbro to inspire them! Same goes for the Ewoks - those are my most wanted Ewok characters, so hopefully Hasbro gets to them soon!

 

[Luke Sprywalker]

Congrats guys! Really amazing work by you guys and everyone else for that matter! Really awesome entries by everyone who participated. Also very cool of you guys to add a second prize. Congrats to everyone on Yakfinities #50.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Working on the roundup... well over 100 customs!

:wink:

 

[Evilivo]

Congratulations, guys, you both deserved it! These Ewoks stole my heart early in the competition and I predicted (as everyone else) that this titanic custom of Cane Adiss should be the winner But there were lots of other great entries, so it must have been really hard for the judges, I assume But I'm happy that my favourites won

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Alright guys -- thank you for your patience on the Roundup Report!

As we know, Sjefke and Darth Daddy were declared the GRAND PRIZE WINNERS... so EACH are receiving this:

Now... for the entire roundup...

We had well over 100 entries... which is just insane... you guys really stepped up to the plate. The volume and quality of these works is just breathtaking!

Without further delay, our RANDOM WINNERS are as follows:

Random Winner #1 - darth crassus
Random Winner #2 - darth apathy
Random Winner #3 - Evilivo

Below are the figures to choose from... darth crassus, you should post in this thread which two you want first. Then darth apathy, you post in this thread which one you want. The remaining figure goes to Evilivo. We will ship the figures to you sometime in the next 30 days.

After you have made your selections in this thread, please PM me your shipping address via the PM feature here in our forums.

Thank you everyone for making this so successful! And Yakfinities #51 is already underway, those details are HERE.

SPECIAL NOTE: There were some "digital mockups" shown in this Yakfinities too - which our members are more than encouraged to show off... but for all intents and purposes, only physical customs will be eligible for prizes/included in the Roundup Reports. Similar to past customs - if you show something that you made before this contest started, it is not included in the prize pool or Roundup Report.

:wink:

Thank you Yak Chewie and everyone on Yakface. What an honor

Darth Daddy, thank you too. I'm a relative newcomer to customs and certainly to Yakface, but I've admired your customs for ages.
I will try to make some head molds. I've tried a couple of human heads, but they're not very good. If somebody can talk me thru it or suggest a good tutorial, I'll give it a go. I can show how to make the necks. It's not that hard, but it requires an unlikely piece of fodder, a bendy arm from a reading lamp. I'd love to see other customizers' take on the body. If you're interested in the bronto look, I'd suggest scoring a Hobbit Warg action figure.

 

[darthcrassus]

Wow, I won. Awesomeness! My two choices are Maul and Sandtrooper. Hope that's OK

Of course, I'm going to customize and paint the pauldron of that Sandtrooper white so I now have a full squad

 

[darth_sidious]

Congrats again everyone, just a crazy amount of entries - well done.

 

[darthapathy]

Woohoo!! I choose Luke. He will be my first venture into the 6" line.

This was a great round with a lot of fantastic entries. Sjefke, your Cane Addiss was unbelievable. Hasbro should copy your design (giving you full props for it), throw him in a box along with one of the smaller of Jabba's denizens (Loje Noella or Attark) and call it good.

I would love to see another round of OT goodness but after many of the entries, who's left? :wink:

 

[Evilivo]

Wow, I won too My first win here! Thanks and congratulations to the other winners I'm left with the R2 figure, obviously, I don't have any of the 6 inch figureas, so that will be a great start I already plan to improve it. Now into the space pirate contest!

 

[localgotal]

Fantastic work everyone, such inspiring customs!

 

[Trooper31]

Great wirk everybody. Congrats to the winners.

 

[Luke Sprywalker]

WOW! What a round up report! I just took about 30 minutes to scroll through each of these awesome entries. Great job everyone, I am blown away by how many great figures were made for this event. I know that round up was quite a bit of work! lol. Congrats to Yakface on Yakfinities #50!

 

[darth_sidious]

I just bought a tablet recently and I was scrolling for a few minutes as well, haha. Thanks for the time and effort Justin aka chewie puts into the challenges.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Yes, this roundup report kicked my ass.
