First of all, OMG! Batlaw's Bullock and Teen Titans Nightwing are awesome! Faithful Butler's Spoiler-Robin is incredible! Everyone's work is just so impressive, I feel a little bashful about finally posting my own entry. But I did say I'd enter, and I did make the figure, so...In for a penny, in for a pound. I'd hoped to take better pictures, but I kept procrastinating, and now time's run out. So at last, I give you my official entry. No, it's not an attempt at Batman's first appearance. Rather, it's an attempt at the first Bat-Man, Dr. Thomas Wayne! Check out the origin of this character, as well as the step-by-step process at www.sitnbullcafe.com/custom/firstbatman1.html You'll also find the step-by-steps of the other two figures I made recently. And someday, if I ever motivate my lazy self into taking pictures, there'll be other of my custom/repaints as well. Be gentle! It's my first real custom! And even if all I get is a B+ mention for effort, I have to confess, this was a blast! I'll definitely be working on more in the future. Thank you, Legions of Gotham, for running this contest and inspiring me!

Thomas Wayne?! What a fantastic idea, Batwulf!! I loved those stories that revealed that Bruce's daddy actually dawned a "Bat-Man" costume. That figure is outstanding! Another great entry in the contest!!

peev, perhaps you can post what you need and someone here may be able to help and/or suggest a possible replacement?
also, great customs everyone!
EDIT: Also, wouldn't it be cool if we had a contest like this every month? Even if the prizes maybe weren't as cool, I think it would be neat just to see everybody's work.

Thanks for the advice jedi, but I doubt I could get it in time for the deadline.
NOTE!! Later today, I will be creating a new locked thread that will only feature the pics form the contest. While I am working on this, you may notice that any pics I have posted will not be visible...worry not, I will get your pics back up tonight.

At the risk of sounding like an echo, that spoiler Robin is great. Nice one Butler What base figure/s did you use?

I really dig your Thomas Wayne Batwulf.It's a great idea for a fig,it's so hard to come up with a figure that hasn't been produced but you nailed it.Excellent work.

Everything looks great!
Peeve, I saw your new Custom Contest Entries - PICS ONLY thread. I also entered the animated Hush figure in the contest (also in the file with the Deadshot pics).
Thanks

Thanks [shadow=blue,left,300]I realize the Deadshot, however your HUSH is not eligible. The one major rule is that you did not make a figure that has already been produced in the market.

Great job Batwulf! I've thought that costume would be a great piece for DC Direct to do for years now. I remember reading that issue when I was younger and thinking how cool it was that his dad dressed up like that for a halloween contest. Later in the issue Batman wore it to go capture his father's killer - the killer got scared that Thomas returned from the grave and ran out into traffic. We all know what happens when the bad guys play in traffic during rush hour! ;D Really nice job - both you and FB have done excellent work, especially since these are your first customs.

There has never been an animated Hush figure, which lead me to believe that my entry could be submitted. Oh well...sighs....

Ok, I apologize to you and peeve, as I did not see that.

Oops! Methinks I goofed. I totally forgot about the DC Direct Zatanna until this morning. I guess my animated one doesn't qualify. Best remove her from the running!
Sorry for the error.

Okay.... here we go! Although some of these have been seen before on my site, I decided to take all new pics, just for the LOG contest. Thanks again for hosting the event, guys! Here are my entries: Mister Zero (does this count, since he ultimately becomes Mr. Freeze?) Detective Harvey Bullock The Mutant Leader [img src="http://www.ironco www.ironcowprod.com/log/mutant_leader.jpg"] Jason Todd Robin Memorial The Arkham Asylum Batman (is this elligible? technically this version of Bats has never been made in plastic...) Anyway, thanks again for the contest! Can't wait to see all the other entries. Matt aka Iron-Cow www.ironcowprod.com

[/shadow] Being the genius that I am I missed the part of Peev being out of town tomorrow. However I did submit the pictures to him last night as well as PMed him to tell him I'd sent him an e-mail, so how should I handle this as the time date should say how it was submitted in time for the July 4th deadline but now if I send them to Matt or someone else they'll be late? Does anyone know? I'll try to forward to Matt (hopefully the date will be saved). GOOD LUCK EVERYONE
