This contest sounds really cool. I'll have to juggle around some ideas in my head, since I'm not giving up any of my actual OCs to you guys. :p


Wonder if the character will be turned into a future CanJoeCon exclusive...



You wouldn't be "giving" them to us. Rather, we would have the right to use them. As previously mentioned, you could continue to use them for your own use without issue, you just couldn't give/sell the rights to another entity at that point.

Rather than "giving" us the characters, look at it as giving us the exclusive rights to USE your characters.

This contest has really brought up a lot of good questions.  Since I'm not an artist and this is my first attempt at a custom, if my figure does get picked (probably not), I'm sure someone will want to update the figurebio to something that makes sence in the Joe Canuck world anyway.

Eh, still... I'd rather not have people using Hiryu or Stakeout without my approval of the story, so they're not likely to be submitted.
Hiryu's a cheap Quick Kick knockoff anyway so I doubt he'd even win. :p

There is one character I created before that I've less attachment too. Might see if I can't dig out his original "filecard" and see if I can ellaborate on it.

I must be getting annoying with my questions, but here's another one: if we're making a custom figure, does it explicitly HAVE to be made of Joe parts?

have to? No.

But it needs to be able to "fit in" with existing toys.

Roger that.  Don't worry, I'm not making an 9.37"-scale plush animal with glow-in-the-dark ooze, or anything!

It might be helpful if it is made of Joe parts, in case we want to include it in a future convention set:

There is nothing stating it needs a writeup, although a writeup goes a long way to helping us understand who the character is, what he/she does, etc/

is the 80s with classic ARAH?

an ever-changing present day, like DDP retcon'd ARAH with no reference to dates?

or now, in 2009/2010?

basically, i want to know if my character can be described as having served with regular forces in Afghanistan or do i vague it up?
