ねんどぷち乱崎凶華は超かわいい！
Japan to Door would like to help celebrate the relaunch of Figure.fm giving you 1070 USD worth of prizes. But before I go on to what they are, would like to take a look at Japan to Door and what they do.
Japan to Door do a few things all outlined on this page.
Japan To Door look after all the bidding shenanigans on Japanese auction sites and do all the follow up and wot not so that you don't have to. You can track progress of the bid when you log into Japan to Door too.
Japan to Door buy stuff for you from any Japanese website and after they get the item, they will send to you.
Yep - they sell stuff for you on Japanese auction sites too.
If you are kushty with the Japanese lingo then you can order items yourself and have the package sent to your own Japanese address that Japan to Door provide for you.
I wouldn't plug anything to you without testing it out and have already tried out the Japan To Door service as I previously mentioned in my Nanoha post.
So the prizes copy/pasted from the mail from Japan to Door below:-
One person will receive 100 USD worth of JTD funds in their Japan to Door account plus one free year of Premier Membership (a 180 USD value)
Total value 280 USD
Two lucky persons will receive 50 USD worth of JTD funds in their Japan to Door account plus one free year of Japan to Door Premier Membership Free (a 180 USD value)
Total value 230 USD per winner
Three persons will receive 20 USD worth of JTD funds in their Japan to Door account plus one 6 months of Japan to Door Premier Membership Free (a 90 USD value)
Total value 110 USD per winner
Total is 1070 USD worth of moolah.
JTD funds is real money to use on whatever you want. The premier membership enables you to use the Japan to Door service with a lower service fee. The membership details are listed here.
Update - just realized that because I left this giveaway so long that the membership fees have gone down just a wee bit. Still a nice giveaway though.
OK, you are probably wondering what you need to do to get hold of your money - pretty simple. All you have to do is post a creative figure shoot. Have seen some creative ones at Happy Soda and Kodomut.
You can use photoshop too. Remember - this is about being creative and not about photo skill. Now that you have the ability to upload multiple images, you can make a story too with captions at the bottom of each photo.
Rules:-
- Rating function not in place so I will have to choose (sorry). Dont get me wrong - I don't like doing it and would prefer that you did but the rating function is lower on the priority list than say "send me mail when somebody comments on my post/replies to my comment"
- Please do not enter if you get offended by not being chosen. Its about having fun and sharing and I will always be giving out stuff. Last time some people complained and even ranted on their blogs that they didn't get chosen. As you can imagine, they looked very smart and very clever. Hmmm.
- You got until the 24th of July - just over a week.
- Please tag your post "giveaway" and "20090715giveaway" like "giveaway,20090715giveaway"
- This giveaway will overlap with another giveaway to be announce later this week - you may need to engage your dual core brain to cope with the giveaways.
- *Anybody* can now signup and post on figure.fm. Until your account has been approved however, your posts will only be visible on your profile page. PreCrime is watching the site 24/7 and will approve good people and nuke bad people.
- Only entries on figure.fm will be considered - not on dannychoo.com.
- Your entry can consist of Dollfie's, figures, Gundam's or mecha.
- One entry per person.
- Nendoroid Puchi Kyoka was your host for today.
- Arms installation is complete - good luck!
Oh wow, another giveaway later this week.
Hmmm... Looks like I'm gonna have to push my projects soon. Good thing I have something planned tomorrow for figure.fm ^_^
Well wracking my brain like crazy now, lol.
This gonna be very exciting to be able to see what our fellow members can come up with their creativity ^o^
Creativity.... *mind starts to brew stuff*
Time to get this party started! Best of luck to all who will participate!
Best of luck guys.
I have something in mind… hmmmmmm, might involve a…
Might involve a what, man??? The suspense is killing me!!!
You will have to wait until I post my entry.
What a cliff hanger.....
NO KIDDING
-date masamune
I'll give it a try :p
Would a dollfie shoot be aloud?
Dollfie shoots are allowed as per Danny's description of the contest:
"Your entry can consist of Dollfie's, figures, Gundam's or mecha."
Mmmm... Got something in mind already... XD
BTW, Multiple entries allowed?
per rules above, one entry per person :)
Oohhh... Miss the rule at 1st glance... ^_^
Hope this clue helps:
Quoted from Danny's Post above.
Now that you have the ability to upload multiple images, you can make a story too with captions at the bottom of each photo.
cool! free stuff :)
good luck to those taking part. Wish u all za best in winning the money.. ^_^;;v
Haha, nice! I was just in a middle of a story with Drossel so I decided to enter with that!
Love the petit-Kyoukas!!
Though it pains me to say that I lost one of their stands when I was taking an outdoor photoshoot with them ^^
Wow this is really interesting~!
I wanted to join in too but I guess I can't......because I don't own any figures. ToT
My first figure will only reach me by next week.
Anyway good luck guys! Am looking forward to some really great photo shoot!!! This is really exciting!!
Danny do mention that Gunpla, mecha and dollfie can be entered into the tray... I guess everything about hobby collections can enter... ^^;
Hmm yes, I'm wondering what "figures" and "mecha" can be defined as too. Are they limited to Japanese produced goods from anime, manga, and games? Or can they be random action figures (Bionicle, Super Sentai/Power Rangers, Star Wars) that some may still have from the time they were little.
An advantage of having it limited is much less chaos in the contest, but a disadvantage might be losing out on diversity.
If there are more details about what types of these we can and cannot use, it may help some members think up of good ideas, redirect people going in the wrong path, or encourage people to who didn't know they could participate to take part in this event too.
I have just submitted my entry. ^^,
Don't worry, I have no high quality figures, just a bunch of action figures that have been modestly played with. This is how I am still able to enter. I'm sure you'll think of something! ^.^
In this case, I think action figures like figmas and revoltechs are probably more useful than fixed pose ones.
I create my story if iget my figures..good luck
Wish the contest participants best of luck.
If you cant comment, try logging in and out once. I think there is a bug with the login process at the moment.
I was wondering why I couldn't comment.. Hehe.
What I was planning is dependent on when my figures arrive.
Else, I'll have to make something with what I've already got.
Are Videos allowed? Had an idea I was planning for quite a while and this might give the final push for me to actually make it.
Any figures go, right?
Video would be interesting too - go ahead.
Whhhhaat? Curse my lack-of-time and figure collection being on the other side of the Pacific! That sounded perfect!
Another Q',
Can I change my entry any time before the deadline by removing/adding the tags?
Back-up is always handy if one didn't go "Just as Planned".
(Gonna start on the vid tomorrow but just in case, I want to upload photo's)
So I could change the backup always to a normal post.
This is going to be tough... Don't really have a decent setup for picture taking and don't usually create stories with my figures... Hm.
Quite interesting giveaway Danny ^^, not a pro in photoshop but shall search with google, thanks again for the opportunities and fun you give us with the giveaways ^0^
Fuzzy Monkey Butts! I need to dig out what sorts of figurines I have... <.< I have so few. I'll have to get help from a friend to decide how to photo the figurines though, so I hope that's allowed. ^^; I'm so nervous, because I'm such a terrible photographer. XD
Thanks Mr. Choo for the decent deadline, I think nine days is a good time frame (oh if only i weren't swamped with work for half of them though... <.<)
hooray! this sounds fun!
Ok, it just occurred to me, but how do we format our entry post? Just in case we post normal things along with our contest entry around the same time? Also, I noticed the word "or" in what we're allowed to photoshoot; is this on purpose? It implies that only one of each may participate in a photoshoot for the contest entry, and being one shoot per entry, one entry per member, this would result in photos of only one figure per member's entry. Unless you're allowing of the single type to participate in the photoshoot (e.g. Dollfies in swimwear playing volley ball).
I think a but of clarification is needed.
Hmm... must think of something creative *nodnod*
Love the concept for the giveaway!~ Will be looking forward to reading the entries~! OwO
Time to start thinking of ideas. At least there is plenty of time.
Sounds interesting. Got a shoot schedualed for tomorrow, might see what comes out.
oh, this is really fun and interesting! Looking forward to the entries, and I will submit one if I can find the time and/or come up with an amazing idea! ^^;
Can't wait to see the entries for this. I lack any creativity so I shall pass on this one.
Man, looks like this giveaway will actually require some effort! The last time I did something on thus scale was on dannys first ever giveaway back on the old figure.fm!!!
Well, I have a current project going on so I might be able to work something out but I agree with some of the others when they say that the rules need a bit of clarification.
I'm working on the assumption of 1 post (so up to 14 pics) per person and the pics within must all have a central theme or tell a story. So no bunch o' random pics. Does that sound about right?
wow, a lot of money on this one giveaway...
Good luck to all those who enter!
i think this might actually be the push for me to do my outdoors photoshoot
Hopefully My konata arrives on time for me too do this.MAY THE MOST EPIC OF POST WIN!
This is crazy good. Makes me wish I actually had Figmas or Nendroids to do something like a caption story.
With a prize this big, i'm not suprised if people put in the extra effort, something I know I'll probably be doing. I am ready to see what ideas come out of people's heads. Good thing it is the holidays for me too, that'll give me that extra time to work on something.
This service is probably something i'll sign up for even if I don't win.
Thank you for the upgrade to figure.fm i'll use it responsibly ^^
Good luck to everyone.
I hope everyone has a fun time with this ^^
How can you tell your account been approved ?
Okay...time to unleash my old photoshop skills!!!
The giveaway ends on the day I leave for Japan...great...
Sounds like fun but I think other people can utilize the prize better than me because I don't shop online, so the membership will not be of much use. Good luck everyone else! ^^
Do I need to have a Japan to Door account to participate? Or the winners may create their account after winning?
Sounds like we can expect some pretty cool entries hehe. No idea what I can do with my current figures though so I may or may not participate... I kind of do have an idea of something Ive wanted to do with one of my figures though but dunno if I can pull it off lol. I guess we'll see!
So do we need to post out entry over at Figure.fm or DC.com?
Just want to clarify ^^;
It says that it has to be here, that DC.com submissions won't be counted.
It looks like I will need to advance my plan on that figma comic I've been planning... >.>
yay^^ There are two figma photo storys who wait to be translated to english^^ Now ist he perfect time to translate one of the two.
Awesome! At least this giveaway doesn't require me to use my brain or search for clues^^ I'm guessing the 1st prize winner just gets 100USD and the membership and not the whole 1070. I'll probably just do this for fun since I have some free time now, really want to see all the entries though ^^
hur, new to this, but where exactly do you put your entry? here in this post under a comment with a link? or is there some member post section that Im missing...?
You make a post in Figure.FM and put it there, it should say upload in the home page of Figure.FM. You then put "giveaway" and "20090715giveaway" in the tags. I think you have to wait like or a day or something before you start posting, probably not, hope this helped ^^
Good luck to all participants! Can't wait to see interesting stories/shoots to be posted up! ^^
An interesting Challenge... think ill go for it ! Yay for Figure.FM's Relaunch
DC users can post in Figure.fm!!
Ok, I will need to start thinking what to do...
I have a question is shipping included or is that an extra charge?
Never mind I just read the Nanoha post...I'll be silent now XD
Sound cool. Will have a try!
This sounds like a pretty cool contest- thanks for setting it up! I'm sure there will be a lot of really great entries.
Yes!! Just posted my contribution!
And so did I. Let's see. :D
Darn... My camera just died... wont even turn on with new batteries. So I'm out on this one. GOOD LUCK TO TEH GLADIATOR"S!
Hmmm.. Well, I could dig out my Transformers for this. My Photoshop skills aren't the greatest, though. I'll figure out something.
I wonder if we can post animated GIFs to convey a story. It would take a while to load though, and the files would be huge.
good luck to all members taking part. put on that thinking cap!
Maybe I'll get lucky and my Touko figure will get here before the 24th. >.>
Awesome giveaway. I'm sure there will be very creative entries. Good luck to everyone!
I forsee a flood of new posts, beginning sometime within the next 24 hours. ^^;
Im really excited to see all those entries!
I guess I have to think of something interesting ^_^
awesome, great idea for a contest! i cant wait to see the posts!
i just uploaded mine to figure.fm woot!
Good luck to the contestants :D
Maybe I could try participating with my I-hope-tomorrow-to-arrive figure of Moka by GSC. But don't know how creative it can turn out with her. Well, I'll see and maybe do one more photoshoot of a figure I already have for the giveway contest.
@danny [i hope you read this :(]
i don't know there is 1 limit for one member and i accidently put 2 [sorry i didn't read the rule , i already delete the tag for the 2nd entry ]
the question is...
is it possible to change my entry?
is it possible to change my entry?
I've already uploaded my entry: http://www.figure.fm/post/en/422/Kira+wants+to+win.html
Good luck to everyone! (^_^)y
I will try a humorous short.
Will edit it tomorrow!!
Wow! Did I miss it?
Where do you get these or how do you make them. I love tiny little Figures and my favoite type of art in anime/manga so I would be so, so , so so so so so so so so so so so happy to get my hands on one
