Clearly, October's photo contests' theme is Halloween! And now, the details:

Rules

  • One image submission per contest. If you enter both contests. You may use the same image, or two different ones.
  • No nudity. I want to show the submissions off and I don’t want any social media flagging the contest.

Entries are due at 11:59 PM PST on October 25th, voting ends on October 29th, and the winners will be announced on the October 30th livestream!

Send your submissions to toypixx@gmail.com, and let me know which contest(s) the pic(s) is (or are) for. Also include your social media accounts so I can send people your way.

Prizes

This month's prizes are pretty rad! First, the Patreon contest winner will receive the Jada Toys SDCC exclusive Violent Ken, and the YouTube winner will receive a GI Joe Classified Retro Cobra Commander (I have him, he's rad)!

Good luck to everyone who enters!

PICTURE-PERFECT PREORDERS


S.H.Figuarts went INSANE this week! They put up a ton of things for preorder, including a couple reissues and new figures from Dragon Ball Daima.

But the big news, at least for yours truly, is the 1.5-ish versions of some beloved Star Wars characters! They sold out fast, so if you missed 'em, I have links to Amazon Japan down below. As of my typing this, they've still got 'em!

Oh, and uhh, there's other rad stuff, as well.

NOTE: Entertainment Earth, eBay, and HobbyLink Japan links are affiliate links, which means I get a cut of the sale at no extra cost to you

AND WITH THAT


Holy geez! I forgot to make any kind of caffeine joke. And I think it's because no amount of caffeine could handle all the sleeplessness of the week.

Honestly, I'm gonna need direct lines to all the coffee bean farms.

Have fun, and happy snapping!

The Toypixx Newsletter December 15, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE ONE STEP AT A TIME! Thanks to all of you, I've been able to build an audience for Toypixx. First, I went hard on social media, learned what works, and slowed way down. I'm coming back to it in the near future, but it was kind of a testing phase. Second, beginning a few years ago, I started playing on YouTube, and am close to discovering what works there. Just need a little more testing. And maybe some...

The Toypixx Newsletter December 8, 2024 PATREON YOUTUBE X/TWITTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES AND TOYPIXX STUFF! Computers. The vast majority of the time, they crush it for us. They make our work easier and can be great tools for efficiency. But when they stop acting like tools for an easier life and more like flaming death rays where, instead of killing you, they just subtly claw at you, bad things happen. Such was the case with this Chun-Li photo. The computer started acting up...
