Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Last year at about this time of year, I ran a DIY Munny Competition, it was a ton of fun and I thought it'd be cool to do it again with a different kind of figurine.

So its back for another go. You can check out the freshly made thread HERE

Like last year, you can Buy Your Own or you can win one by proposing your design on the thread at the Art Forum.

More updates on that later.

I SHOULD be wrapping up the Sketchbook Tour, next month which is part of the reason I felt safe to kick this one off.

Lastly, I'll be back in London for London meet 4 on January 17th. This is shaping up to be a good one as Tom will actually make the trip over as well as long time staffie LilJim. If you're in the area you should come onnn out.

Last lastly, I'll be in Iceland next month for NG Iceland meet. I dont think anyone actually lives in Iceland so it means im just going on vacation for a change.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 5:43 PM Wonchop says:

Re: This-is-Freedom
There were a tonne at folks at the last meet that hadn't even touched Flash as far as I'm aware of. Based on what he said about meet 3, he's not picky about who's allowed to go, so if you feel like going, just show up.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 6:26 PM This-Is-Freedom says:

really thanks luis but i mean in the animation point of view because i am sure you lot don't want a person who has not actually proved him self yet :D

plus its my birthday on the 11th

Sep. 20, 2008 | 6:28 PM This-Is-Freedom says:

and wonchop is probably right but i prefer it if i just wait till like number 5 because then i will have something done at least

Sep. 20, 2008 | 6:56 PM Luis responds:

dumb but OK

Sep. 20, 2008 | 6:54 PM deevvon says:

Looks cool.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 6:58 PM MERFdaCOW says:

Next year we should do Cubees (cubeecraft.com). You can get blank templates in the FAQ.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 10:51 PM Luis responds:

Sep. 20, 2008 | 7:12 PM This-Is-Freedom says:

WHO LIVES IN ICELAND!?

Sep. 20, 2008 | 7:52 PM DaVeB0T says:

I might actually do something this time, if I can find a suitable keygen for photoshop.

Now lets see something like what I just said posted twenty more times.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 8:34 PM Killerkb says:

The Teddy Troops are out of stock, Luis.
Why? ; - ;

It made me cry. I wanted one so badly...

Its a great idea though.
I'd love to participate on this one.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 10:52 PM Luis responds:

Back in stock.

Your contests are always awesome Luis, thanks

The years muny , Im alil eh about, since the shape of the figure is very detailed and doesn't leave much for interpretation.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 10:53 PM Luis responds:

true. although its as limiting as you make it i think.. we'll see.. we can change it up next year

Sep. 20, 2008 | 10:19 PM The-EXP says:

I dunno... after each London meet I don't get any for weeks, Lucy's just never in the mood cause I'm "Just not Luis"...

Sep. 20, 2008 | 10:54 PM Luis responds:

shes invited youre not?

Sep. 20, 2008 | 10:22 PM The-EXP says:

Oh, and I just went to buy a Munny and was faced by a big ol' OUT OF STOCK notice. Ow my heart.

Sep. 20, 2008 | 10:49 PM Luis responds:

yeah sorry about that... I heard they are available at Forbidden Planet if you have one where you live. You'll save on shipping. Also they are back in stock in the link above.

If you cant find em anywhere you can just buy one from me i suppose

Still waiting on that sketch book page by the way!...

:'(

Sep. 21, 2008 | 1:01 AM Luis responds:

hmmm yeah that... its just so frusterating.. i mailed the staff a bunch and it never got their either apparently.....

Sep. 21, 2008 | 12:53 AM Ansel says:

a. munnies were very cool last year, there was some super great painting and sculpting going on

b. finish the sketchbook tour you assbutt

c. how many london meets have occurred this year? Why are there so many london meets but not a single meet within even a few hundred miles of my location? we should do that midwest meet shit we were talkin about. if you can do one in fuckin iceland, you can do one in minnesota

d. lol iceland

Sep. 21, 2008 | 1:01 AM Luis responds:

iceland is a buzzing up and coming community for NG ... you just dont know it yet.

WATCH OUT.

Sep. 21, 2008 | 3:35 AM JakBaronKing says:

How do you make those Mummies?

So you get a blank doll...then you decorate by any means necessary?

Is that how it works?

It's a new fad that I can never seem to get a hold of..cause they are sold out before I hear about it :(

(PS: Your and MC's Mummies are Awesome!)

Sep. 21, 2008 | 3:14 PM Luis responds:

They are back in stock

Sep. 21, 2008 | 7:45 AM souled says:

your carbon footprint must be through the roof

Sep. 21, 2008 | 12:54 PM Luis responds:

lol dont remind me. I use recycled clothing and vehicles tho.. hope that helps

Sep. 21, 2008 | 8:20 AM mranarchy says:

Hey do you reckon I'll be ale to get me a teddy trooper at forbidden planet in London?...I have no Idea what kind of stuff they have there, and I'd love to be able to contribute to this contest...looks fun!

Sep. 21, 2008 | 12:53 PM Luis responds:

yes. as a matter of fact.. the teddy trooper franchise is european so its theoretically easier to get them in europe. and probably cheaper (i dunno)

Sep. 21, 2008 | 9:20 AM ParadoxSaint says:

Or you could always just send in a figure design to china and gets some thousand women and children to mass produce it.

Just a thought, I might try it.

Sep. 21, 2008 | 10:57 AM Tystarr says:

Woah..the cheapest price I can find on a round trip ticket from NY to London is $591... How do you afford these trips man??

Even if I can make this trip are all Newgrounders invited?

Sep. 21, 2008 | 12:56 PM Luis responds:

any newgrounds people are invited, however if you are coming from far away its probably a good idea to get in touch with me regarding accomidations (unless youre staying on your own which is cool too)

Usually we have a flat where people just crash at... its not fancy but it keeps the fam under one roof.. which people seem to enjoy.

Kiidimeitzer lives in Iceland :3

Sep. 21, 2008 | 1:08 PM NoneZop says:

I really can't what that figurine is supposed to be.

Sep. 21, 2008 | 1:25 PM RubberNinja says:

Give me the page dimensions and I'll build my own page out of toilet paper then mail it to you. I still have both instructional pages from the first 2 years. So I can mail it to the same address.

Sep. 21, 2008 | 1:43 PM MERFdaCOW says:

Sweep it up. Just sweep it up

Sep. 21, 2008 | 3:00 PM Josh-B says:

Spreading the Newgrounds word to Iceland, eh?

Sep. 21, 2008 | 3:10 PM Voodoo says:

score me one of those teddy troops and I'll suck your cock.

Just kidding.

or am it? :3

Sep. 21, 2008 | 4:37 PM Lalo says:

I dont wanna do one and send it only to have it lost in the mail :C

Sep. 22, 2008 | 6:32 AM Exofest says:

Sep. 26, 2008 | 8:44 AM EyeLovePoozy says:

I know several people that live in iceland. Eddie for one....

Also, it's kinda iffy atm for me whether I'll be able to go to London in Jan. due to lack of funds. But it's looking good so far.
