(Mods - please by all means let me know if I’m breaking the rules here. I appreciate I’m bending them a bit based on the rules reposted in 2014, but it’s a bit different to a standard forum contest. Hope that’s ok, if not, please let me know 👍)
Hi all
My team have just announced a custom Hasbro competition on Twitter. It’s ambitious, but I have high hopes for it, if we get enough interested Hasbro customisers.
Our aim is to recycle battered and bruised hasbros, whilst making money for charity.
We have a number of prizes lined up for the winner, and several pending, which we’ll announce once we ensure there’s enough interest.
It’s completely free to enter and it’s all in the name of charity. So, here’s the low down:
- Once we get 12 customisers (or enough for this to work), we will send each of the customisers a Hasbro from our collection. We will cover the costs of postage.
- The customisers will use that figure to create a custom. They can replace the head, but must use the torso, legs and arms of the Hasbro we send. They can paint, sculpt, cut and modify however they like. The custom must be wrestling related.
- The customisers will send pics of their finished work to my team. We will collate all finished picture and they will go in to a twitter poll. The one with most votes by the end date, wins. That customiser will receive all prizes announced.
- ALL customisers will be asked to sell their finished custom. We ask that they inform us of the sale price and send us proof they have donated the proceeds (screen shot of donation).
- We will tally up the total raised and announce with all of the customisers who have taken part. Along with a certificate/artwork sent to each contestant as a thank you.
- The competition is currently pinned on our twitter page. Please let me know if you wish to take part.

Well, just to give this a little update.
We have 8 contenders, and all 8 figures have been posted.
We also have a guest of honour taking part in the proceedings. Erik Arana, the head designer at Boss Fight Studios, and the man leading the creation of the Legends Of Lucha Libre set, will be taking part.
Whilst we have agreed that Erik's creation will not be part of the tournament, his custom figure will be auctioned off and all proceeds will be going to charity.
The more eyes we have on the tournament, the more potential money we can raise.
We have also announced a couple of the prizes for the winners pot so far, and will be announcing a great prize very soon, courtesy of a certain VintageFigs1 and co.
