Default Pictures of a Traveling Figure

Simply put, memebers of the site will take a picture of a figure and pass it on to the next member.

I've come up with a custom figure for this. I made it a pretty simple LBC because it'll be easy to replace if it gets broken and it'll less like to be "stolen" by someone who doesn't want to pass it on.

Here's the rules:

Take at least two pictures of the figure to post. One picture should be with a landmark represntative of your area, something that says where you are. The other is just a typical picture that would normally be posted on the site like part of dio, or just posed somewhere, something along those lines.

You have one week from when you recieve the figure to take the picture then send it on. We don't want the next person in line to be sitting around for a month waiting for their turn. If you get the figure and for one reason or another can't get a picture taken, send it on to the next person and add your name back to the list. Communication is key here. Let the person who sent you the figure know you got it, let the next person know it's on its way.

Sorry new guys, but this only open to people who have established themselves on the site and post on a regular basis. 300 post or more. This is just simply because we need to know that the figure will get passed along as well as those who post on the site with regularity have established a reputation here. Think of it like eBay feedback.

Once the list is made, all you need to do is send a PM to the next person on the list and get their address.

As far as our Aussie, European and South American friends, you guys are more than welcome to participate, just keep in mind shipping may be a bit more to get the figurre to you. Truthfully, I've never sent a figure to another country, so I'm not sure how much more it'll cost.

Keep in mind if you wish to participate, you are responsable for the cost of shipping the figure to the next person in line. I've mailed off many figures and cost of the envelope plus shipping has never been more then about $3.00 US. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR SHIPPING, PLEASE DON'T PUT YOUR NAME ON THE LIST TO PARTICIPATE.

If you want to participate, but don't want to wait for the figure to get to you, you can make the figure yourself and take the pictures and post them. It's a real simple LBC that I'm sure most people have the parts for, but it must me made of the exact same parts in order to participate.

Once the list gets a few people on it, I'll reveal the figure as well as their backstory etc.

There is no deadline to sign up for this as it'll be an on-going thing for a while (though, I would eventually like to get the figure back).

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

How about include a postcard of the location where the figure has been? That way it's not just the pics that record where the figure has been, but also a load of postcards. .. would be nice to eventually scan them down to 1/18th scale .... props...

I haven't signed up for this yet.. not sure of things yet.. but maybe after this starts and photos start to get posted, maybe then I can determine if I'll be able to contribute. I hope so. Want to do something like this.
