It gives me great pleasure in announcing the winners of the Shuraki giveaway.

Member Ujuj is first place with a total of 324 votes - he chooses Char Rhouseman which will be shipped directly to him by Kid Nemo when she is released later this year. Yattane Ujuj!
Yattane [ã‚„ã£ãŸã] pronounced "Yattaneh" means "you done it!"

Above: Ujuj's rather imaginative entry. Not only is the theme well though of, the lighting and composition is also well done.

Above: And this is what he gets - 1/7 scale Char with full blown cast off.

In second place is member Coros with his Godzilla and Saber entry that earned him 243 votes.

Above: Zilla n Saber in a really nice old Japan style composite.

Above: And this is what Coros chose - Dekashita Zo Coros!
Dekashita Zo [ã§ã‹ã—ãŸãž] means "you done good!"

In third place comes Vihena with 228 votes - he automatically gets Mei Feng which is still a gorgeous figure. In many ways, Daniel is the winner because he doesn't have to go through the pain that Ujuj and Coros did of having to choose which Shiraki set they wanted!

Above: Vihena's Katamari Damacy entry.

Above: Vihena prize. Sugoi Zo Vihena!
Sugoi Zo [å‡„ã„ãž] in this context means "great!"

Would also like to give kudos to the others who participated in this giveaway.

Above: Lu-k's entry that came a close 4th place with 221 votes.

Above: GundamJehutyKai's pantsu entry that earned 216 votes.

Above: Pattz's saber entry that earned 214 votes.

Above : Byak-chans entry that earned 209 votes.

Above: Yumyu's entry that earned 208 votes.

Thanks to all who participated and sorry for the announcement delay - was supposed to do it the weekend the server crashed and then had to go to LA for a week.
Next up will be the Gundam Giveaway.

Click through to see the awesome entries for the Shuraki box set giveaways. As you recall from the announcement on the 2nd of August, the task set forth for Figure.fm members was to create a PhotoShop (or GIMP or whatever) image with the theme "Huge figure in City (with humor)." The image was to also feature a figure that you own.

Have a look at the following entries and vote for your fave one by selecting the radio button above the entry - then hit submit at the bottom of the post. Your vote will then be pooled up in the database. You have to be a logged in member to vote and you can only vote once. Once you have voted, you cant "take back" your vote. I will leave voting open for a week and then close off the form.
Ideally, you should be voting for what humors you and not PhotoShop skills.

To make it as fair as possible and to avoid bias, none of these images are labeled with the submitters names. After a week is up, I will contact the top 3 winners. First place gets to chose which of the box sets they want, second place gets to choose out of the remaining two and third place ends up with the remainder - but as you already know, all three shuraki figures are gorgeous.

I will then post all entries again with the submitters names and announce the winners. Kid Nemo will then send the box sets directly to the winners when they are released. May the force be with all submitters.

I want to start rewarding readers as a way of saying a big thanks for your support.
First off however, I especially want to reward the members of Figure.fm with the Shuraki box sets 1,2 and 3. More details after the jump.

Figure.fm was not built to scale the in the way I thought it should and as a consequence, the site is buckling under only 5000 unique users per day. But despite the bugs and terrible loading times (its a cache problem), the figure.fm community has remained strong. I am truly grateful. As a token of appreciation, the first and second giveaway will be open exclusively to figure.fm members for putting up with the continued pain of posting an image or comment. Put up with me for a wee bit longer as I'm working on the new version now.

The first giveaway will be the Shuraki sets in a figure themed competition. The second giveaway will be a Gundam giveaway in a Gundam themed competition. The third competition thereafter will be open to registered members of dannychoo.com.

200708 giveaway details

This month I am working with Kid Nemo to bring you these box sets.
The theme of this giveaway is "Huge figure in City (with humor)". My "Konomi over Akiba" is not funny at all so probably wont get any votes.
The figures in your entry has to be of figures you own. Folks who don't have Photoshop can use the open source GIMP or something similar. Remember that its not your compositing skills that are important - your imagination in making people laugh comes first.

Rules

Closing date for entries is August 27th so you have plenty of time.
Send your entry to [giveaway at dannychoo dot com] together with your figure.fm login name. Remember that the first competition is open to figure.fm members only.
The main figure in the photo has to be of one that you own.
After the 27th, I will post all entries without names. Members at dannychoo.com will then vote for the one they like most through a new voting system that I am building - one member one vote. Details on who voted for who are not disclosed.
After all votes are in, I will publish all the named entries and make sure that your work/site gets a plug.
The person who gets the most votes chooses which box set they want. The second place entry also gets to choose. Third place gets the remainder - all box sets are fabulous though. There is only one of each box set this time round.
Figure.fm members who only own Gundams need not fear as the next giveaway is going to be a [name of cool item goes here].
When the box sets are released, Kid Nemo will send the goods directly to you.
May the farce be with you and am looking forward to some humorous work!

This Shuraki giveaway is being made possible by the good folks at Kid Nemo. Here are a few words from them.
