To celebrate the debut release of Universe of Violence II we're going to have a small photo contest here @ LRG! 

 

Up for grabs are a pair of bagged GOLD UOVII figures, Satyrant & Venus Maneater. These two were held back from the debut release specifically for this purpose and there aren't any more (there were one of each in the debut release tho).

 

 

 

Few rules. 

- To apply you need to be a member here 

- You can only enter once

- Anyone from any country can apply

- You need to take at least 1 photograph, maximum of 5

- The photo/s must include either a UoV or UOVII figure, but can include other toys from different lines too

 

The winner will be picked by me based on creativity, ingenuity & general photography. It will run until 16th of May (3 weeks) to allow for all UOVII orders to arrive and give people enough time to get creative and take some pics. I will draw and then announce the winner on the 17th of May. 

 

To kick off the contest, here are some pics of my own (I'm not entering myself tho). I custom painted a Satyrant & Venus Maneater as well as did some mods & painted up a M.I.M.P wrestling ring. 

 

 

 

Best of luck everyone & have fun. I hope to see some cool pics from you talented lot!

Crazy! Love the pics Rid.

[80schild]

I would love those gold UoVll bad boys.
Ridureyu your photos are awesome.

[Metalmonkey]

Take some pics and enter dude!

[Ridureyu]

I would have done a Hell Turtle Vs. Critter figure in honor of the big tournament, but my Critter is bright yellow and does not photograph well.

[Metalmonkey]

Shame, that would be a cool pic!

Here are my photos!

 

For the first couple, since Venus Maneater and Satyrant have such a cool Neclos Fortress vibe, I decided to photograph each of them with similarly-themed Neclos figures. The background is a TimMee Battle Mountain.

 

Here's Venus Maneater with a bunch of Neclos plant monsters:

 

 

 

And here's Satyrant with Neclos demons:

 

 

 

And here's a shot of both figures together. I wanted to get them in a wasteland-like setting that looked appropriate for Universe of Violence, so I went out to shoot them in the alley:

 

 

 

I also wanted to find a "woodsy" looking setting for the Venus Maneater, so I found a shrub outside and used the branches as the background:

 

 

 

Finally, here's an older shot of Hell Turtle atop a pile of some mini figure victims:

Nice Frank! Pics look sweet man.

[Ridureyu]

[fkro6784]

Thanks guys! Love your pics as well, Rid. What a cool shot of Satyrant.

Yeah dude, they look great! Love seeing Satyrant custom painted like that. You just got them in time man.

Ok. Contest is now CLOSED. Thanks everyone who entered. The winner will be announced this time tomorrow!

[Ridureyu]

Cool! Who's the ref?

[Metalmonkey]

Cool! Who's the ref?

Im gonna run it by Jimmy & Eric so it'll be the three of us most likely. Im having a hard time on my own since all the pics are awesome!

[Ridureyu]

I meant the blue dude in the last set of pictures, hahaha.

[esilver]

The blue guy was a Steven Reece I painted up

[Ridureyu]

Nice! I haven't done painting in about a decade.

[imperfecz]

From the "Nuked" run if I remember right. I painted up one of each, and have a set or two untouched ones in my collection. Great little sculpts.

[majinmoo]

The Contest is over?  I thought it ended the 16th?  Ah well..... Here are the pics I did anyway

 

I'm a huger wrestling fan so I had the U of V team known as the HELL HUNTAHS!!!?! with manager Armstrom  Go against different stables at the Grayskull Arena

 

Here they are battling the Incredible Hulks

 

Here's a pic of the stand off between the HUNTAHS!!!?!  and The Legends who dared to stop their reigh of terror.  

 

Here they are in when they ambushed The Ultimate Maniacs

 

They don't always cause havok inside the ring however, as Their shenanigans led to an ULTIMATE  SUPER SENTAI TEAMUP

[imperfecz]

Nah, 16th is just what the OP says. Don't mean nuttin.

[majinmoo]

buiscuits 

[jkaris]

He's a day ahead, so his 16th was yesterday. Maybe he'll add you in to the mix?

[Metalmonkey]

Oops, my bad.. Yeah, Im a day ahead here. No sweat Majinmoo, I'll add your pics for sure mate. Very nice pics too man!

Not having an easy time picking so if everyones cool with it I might just draw names from a hat instead?
If thats fine with y'all, I'll just do that and pick someone tomorrow.
