As part of Hero Factory month, we'll also be celebrating the Chima Action Figure side-line, which marks LEGO's second line of original Constraction characters. To do that, we'll be holding an experimental form of raffle in order to give away all 6 Chima sets, signed by their respective designers, generously donated to us by TLG! How to enter: Build a Chima related weapon/vehicle/character/accessory at Action Figure scale. Post a picture of it no larger than 800x600 in this topic. After 5 days from the timestamp of posting your previous entry, you'll be able to enter again. While there is no minimum quality for entries, the best few entries will receive honourable mentions and bonus entry points for the raffle. The intention of the entry method is to give everybody a fair chance of winning a prize, but also to allow the most committed a chance to increase their odds. Prizes: After July 17th, the entries will be tallied and judged, then for random winners will be picked from the entry point pool: 1st Place: First preference for 2 out of 6 Chima Action Figure sets, signed by their respective designers. 2nd Place: Second preference for 2 out of 6 Chima Action Figure sets, signed by their respective designers. 3rd Place: Third preference for 1 out of 6 Chima Action Figure sets, signed by their respective designers. 4th Place: Final set out of 6 Chima Action Figure sets, signed by their respective designers. Fine Print: Your entries must be new Chima-related MOCs or LDD file, that haven't been posted before June 18th 2013. Only one entry per member per 5 days will be counted, for a maximum of 5 standard entries. Entries posted within 5 days of that member's previous entry will be disqualified. Members from all around the world are eligible. The raffle closes on the midnight of July 17th, so no entries after then will be accepted. Results! Massive thanks to everyone who participated in the raffle, and waiting out the delay at the end. The results are finally ready, for your viewing pleasure! There was an impressive range of quality and styles across the 39 different entries, and it was great to see both LDD and physical entries with a considerable amount of time and effort put into them. The months started off with a lot of weapon entries, but they tapered off as the month progressed, and the best entries mostly came through character and vehicle entries. Running through all the entries, I picked out 8 entries in total that I thought deserved extra recognition and points. Bonus Points Character: Infernum, Chi Spider – 3 points A clean and stylish build, with an excellent colour scheme that oozes of chi and toxicity. CM4S, Rhogon the Rhino – 1 point A solid set-like depiction of a Rhino in Chi form, with a fantastic brick-built head. CIDDi, G’Loona – 5 points No explanation is really needed here, with the colours, part usage and style all being exquisite. I wouldn't have thought that a Krana, a Kraata and a Dinosaur could make such as expressive face. Weapon: Dorek, Raven trap – 1 point Dorek isn’t too sure how this trap works, but that probably makes it all the more dangerous. It definitely looks like it will hurt anything that comes near it. Emma, ChiBow – 3 points A very stylish jungle bow, which features a great use of palm tree segments and minifig spears. It’s also a great example of using System pieces to create an action figure accessory that probably wouldn’t look as good using just Bionicle/Hero Factory parts. Vehicle: Oky, ZNAP Double-Crosser – 4 points I’m not sure how to classify ZNAP, but Oky puts it to good use with this excellent action figure scale quad-bike. Not only is it made almost completely from ZNAP, but it manages to look good and carry the raven colour scheme. Bacem, Chi Copterpack – 3 points Highly inventive and fitting to the crazy animal vehicles of Chima, the Copterpack seems mad enough to work. Dorek, Crawley’s Claw Crawler – 3 points Albeit aided by LDD’s unhindered colour selections, this recreation demonstrates that the minifig sets would work excellently as action-figure sets as well. Get on it LEGO! Congratulations to all seven bonus point recipients. In addition to increase odds at the raffle, you'll also receive a special Chima Action Figure tag! The Prize Winners With bonus points taken into consideration, the four lucky winners (in order of placing) are as follows: Takanuinuva Bacem CIDDi CM4S Congratulations to these four members! Each will win 1 or 2 Chima Action Figure sets, signed by the designers that created them. Please send your full name, mailing address and order of preference for which Chima set to receive to me (Brickthing) so that I can get your prizes sent out to you. Thanks again for LEGO and the Hero Factory Design Team for generously providing these excellent prizes! Please share any thoughts you have on this contest/raffle format as well, as I’d like to start running more building challenges for the sub-forum in the future, so your feedback will be very useful and appreciated! Any questions or concerns about the raffle can also be posted here. Channel your chi and get building!

Welcome to the second Action Figure forum contest, as part of Hero Factory month 2013! This year the heroes of Makuhero City have had to deal with the bug-like brains, who captured and mutated harmless creatures in order to carry out their purpose of destroying Hero Factory. From harmless rock monsters to mighty dragons, all forms of creatures were taken hold of, but what would it look like if a Hero was captured and subjected to the same transformation? Categories Hero or Monster: Build a Hero that has been taken over by a Brain parasite and show how that infection has influenced them. The mutations can be extreme as you'd like, but they must still be recognizable as a Hero. The mutations do need to be more severe than Surge's brief infection during the Hero Factory show. (Image courtesy of HFsector01) There must be some form of Brain slug on the Hero, but it can be brick built as an alternative to the actual Brain parasite piece if you'd prefer. Entry should be shorter than 30cm/12 inches. To enter, make a new topic for your MOC in the Action Figure forum with the prefix "HoM:" Before and After Brain Infection: Build 2 MOCs displaying an alien creature before and after infection from a Brain parasite. The 2 forms must be recognizable as the same creature, so don't get too carried away with the mutations There must be some form of Brain slug on the alien, but it can be brick built as an alternative to the actual Brain parasite piece if you'd prefer. To enter, make a new topic for your MOC in the Action Figure forum with the prefix "B/A:" Digital Hero: Use computer aided means to create your own Hero. Entries can be created using LDD and POV-ray, other 3D programs, GIMP/image editing programs, etc. Designing new pieces and recoloured parts is encouraged, but not required. The Hero must be recognizable as a Hero, so should be reasonably humanoid and include a Hero core. Entries do not need to be photorealistic, but should look like they could be built in real life, aside from new and recoloured pieces. Entries should be presented on a plain/simple background, since the focus in on the Hero. To enter, make a new topic for your MOC in the Action Figure forum with the prefix "DH:" An example image. (Which would be disqualified for not being a Hero) General Rules Only one entry per member per category. Only official LEGO elements can be used, excluding minifigs considering the scale that entries should be at. "Real" entries only for Categories 1 and 2. For category 3, the entries must be digital, although the choice of which programs(s) to use is up to each entrant There are no restrictions on ratios between SYSTEM/BIONICLE pieces, but the entry must visually fit in with official Hero Factory style and scale, so using primarily Hero Factory/BIONICLE pieces is recommended. Entries must have one deep-linked picture posted in the entry topic with a maximum resolution of 800x600, and an optional link to a topic with additional images if wanted. Entries must be posted by midnight of the 9th of July. Voting will then occur in the week that follows. Contest ends at midnight of the 9th of July 2013! Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified. Entries that do not meet all the requirements by the deadline will be disqualified. Whether an entry meets the requirements will be at the discretion of the contest host, but entrants will be notified if their entry does not meet the requirements. All entries can be altered/changed as many times as each entrant wishes up until the contest deadline. Shortly after the contest closes, a voting topic will be made for the qualifying entries. Comments and suggestions on entries are more than welcome, and may result in participation prizes.
