Also, will the winner's idea become part of the Joe Canuck canon?

The winners character will be in an upcoming comic by our own Loop, as Stealth stated.

It goes without saying that whatever created character is used, it will become property of JoeCanuck.com - in a sense that we can use it if we wish to. So, while there's no guarantee that the "created character" WILL become part of the Canuck-Verse of characters, there's a good chance it will.

How's that?

When you say "property of JoeCanuck.com," do you mean that we won't be able to use it any more of our fan fictions/projects if we wish to?  Again, sorry for asking all these questions.

I hope nobody laughs at my attempt to make a custom figure and the back story I make for him or her? :-!

I guarantee no laughter! I'll make a feeble attempt too. I hope they all get shared.

Of course you can use it for fan fiction/customs projects

What Mike means is that if we choose to, we can use the character/vehicle/etc as we like (create the toy, use it in future comics, etc etc).

Meaning Joecanuck.com has exclusive rights to use that character going forward, with no further permission needed by the author/creator of said character/vehicle to use it.

You certainly may have as many as you like, but the main focus should be on one single character/vehicle, and which one that is should be plainly obvious from the story.

I've added a "legalities" disclaimer to the OP to clarify.

More stupid Questions  :o
Does my custom figure have to be Canadian? Please do not ban me for asking this! The figure heads I have to use look more Aussie then Canadian.  I guess I can say he was born in Australia then move to Canada?

don't see why not, after all, Backstop was born in Canada, moved to America and then joined the Joes.

Hell, he could be on detached duty to the Joe-Can team like Big Ben and Skymate are on TDY from 22 SAS and the SASR respectively.

You should choose 1 of those to be the primary focus.
