Even though UK's own ToyCon is well over 7 months away, that's not stopping the folks over at
Fugi.me from teasing what they have planned for the convention... and below is info about their upcoming 'Power 5' competition! Called “Power 5” or “55”, the details for the project are somewhat busy, so without further ado, let's dig in! They will be releasing a series of 1” resin toys at ToyCon on the 12th of April 2014, and these will be launched under the moniker of “Power 5”. Power 5 will be free for anyone to enter their designs for a 1 inch toy. Whether they are a seasoned pro or it’s their first attempt. Entries will be accepted by email (to jd@fugi.me) between the 7th of October and 29th of November... and you can enter via the submission form below as many times as you like.
There will be a team of 5 judges to pick the 5 best designs
JazzyDan (fugi.me), Jim Freckingham (Robotic Industries), Lisa Rae Hansen (iBreakToys), Ben Hart (ToyCon UK), and the 5th of the vote will be decided by the general public (through liking the entries on facebook). The winning designs will be sculpted by Robotic Industries. 1 set of photographic turnarounds will be supplied to the winner to allow for any amendments. They will then be cast by iBreakToys. Lisa Rae Hansen will produce 5 of each design, in 5 colors, total 125 pieces. Then they will be sold blind bagged at the fugi.me stand of ToyConUK for £5 each. (If any are left they will be sold online)!
The 5 winning artists will receive a complete set of their design, 1 piece in each of the 5 colors. A pretty rad competition, where you can get your own figure made! So what are you waiting for... start designing!
