How about we have a friendly competition each month for showing off custom minifigs, whether they're troops, heroes, pedestrians, whatever
Some simple rules
- Custom / third party parts are OK as long as the majority of the figure is still lego
- Licensed and LEGO set based stuff must have at least 33% unique parts. A minifig can be considered to have a head, headgear, torso, arms, hands, hips and legs. So a Stormtrooper would at least need a new head and helmet to be eligible.
- Minifigs don't have to be new, but they can only be entered once unless significantly changed. And a limit of 3 submissions per participant per month
- Entry must specify which category it's under, whether Soldier, Character, or Misc.
Voting will be done in strawpolls for each category each month. Voting will not start until this period.
There will be three Categories
The Cannon Fodder Award *MONTH* - For the best non character soldier, can be from any Tek Level
The Special Snowflake Award *MONTH* - For the best hero or named character, can be from any Tek Level
The miscellaneous minifig of the month award - a catch-all award for 2nd place in either of the first two categories, or for other stuff. like small teams of characters. (max 5)
