While I understand the motivation behind requiring an Arealight product--they are sponsoring the prizes, after all--I think it does limit the diversity of entries you're going to get. With the exception of the curved torsos, most Arealight products are pretty distinctively Star Wars-themed.
Also: "Fatale", not "Fetale".
But all of that aside, this sounds fun.

@Shadowrex: Well... Arealight is hosting the contest and it is an Arealight group...
@Catsy: Well... I have seen people use some of the arealight parts pretty well outside of the star wars theme. I.E. Modifying helmets, twilek heads, using head bands etc. But I guess that gives you a challenge ;P. Find a creative way to use "Star Wars" themed Arealight products outside of the "Star Wars" theme.
Also my bad on the typo. I knew something looked wrong with that..

Um, would apoc be considered sci-fi?
Posted 6 months ago.

@Roku: Wiki says so:
Science fiction is largely based on writing rationally about alternative possible worlds or futures.It is similar to, but differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature (though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation).
A time setting in the future, in alternative timelines, or in a historical past that contradicts known facts of history or the archaeological record.
A spatial setting or scenes in outer space (e.g., spaceflight), on other worlds, or on subterranean earth.
Characters that include aliens, mutants, androids, or humanoid robots.
Technology that is futuristic (e.g., ray guns, teleportation machines, humanoid computers).
Scientific principles that are new or that contradict known laws of nature, for example time travel, wormholes, or faster-than-light travel.
New and different political or social systems (e.g. dystopia, post-scarcity, or a post-apocalyptic situation where organized society has collapsed).
Paranormal abilities such as mind control, telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation.
Best rule of thumb is:
As long as you can look at the figure and it has a sci-fi/fantasy feel to it, then you should be good. By fantasy I mean, not reality. So if you look at the figure and you can say "oh this just looks like a normal military person" or "Oh this just looks like a normal person holding a gun" then that wouldn't be very good.
If you're making up your own character with your own story then do this:
What is the back story?
What brought about the apocalyptic condition?
How did people adapt?
How would people be dressed?
If the condition was caused by an invasion then: how would they defend themselves? Would they take the foreign technology and modify it to their own?
A good example of sci-fi post-apocalyptic would be Gears of War.

I have a personal query.
Shouldn't the AL item be on the fig? Since that is what this is, a fig contest, and most entries I have seen don't even have AL items on the fig, but just lying next to it, therefore not part of the fig.
I dunno, it's just something on my mind. :/

@Choco,: you have a valid point. I brought it up to arealight in my e-mail with him yesterday. That bugged me with most of the entries, but I wasn't really sure if I should have included them or not since it seems to have been a loophole to entering.
@CL-0517, if you want just post a link and I"ll go fix it up when I get the chance.

We can wait.... I guess extending it 1-2 days would be allright. But 3-4 days would be too long for me. Kinda defeats the point of the contest deadline IMO. But it is your contest so do what you want.

@ChocoBricks, I know that, she shipped off a about 3 weeks before the start of January. Postal service has been EXTREMELY slow these past few weeks :P. Even she had expected them to come in about a week or two ago.
Anyways guys, I'm going to go ahead and give a choice: Either I can end the contest now and if I get the extra parts before judging commences then i can add them in. If they don't get here in time, then I'll save them for a later contest or something. (Maybe I'll run a few mini contests in this group for them later is what I was thinking.)
Other option is I keep extending it for a few days. I can't extend it past the 9th though. So I may just end up extending it through saturday night if that's the case. Then Arealight and I will do judging and I'll ship off prizes promptly after a doctor's appointment on the 9th.

Wow that is slow PO. I ordered her Ganondorf during the week of December 23, and even had Tron made on the 23, and she had the former sent during the week and the latter on Xmas Eve, and I recieved both last Tuesday.
Of course then again I'm in MA, so my shit came straight from England to Boston (or probably Hartford) with no other states for them to get lost in. :P
