Default The nFo!

Ok gang, here's the deal!

Graham and I are head of the nFo, the NEW FIGURE ORDER. We're posting a challenge to anyone who DARES take us on with those pitiful O-Ringed figures.

Anyone who wants to join the nFo, start posting the BEST photos of 25th figures you can. I mean, THE BEST! Nothing out of focus, no static shots, the nFo wants ONLY the best! We'll see if anyone can rally those old schoolers against us.

It's going to be FRIENDLY. That is our first rule. If people can't play nice and have it be all in good fun, they will get booted out of it. We want it to be similar to colour wars like in camp. Totally good natured, totally in the spirit of fun, competition and collecting. People will not HAVE to play, or pick a side if they choose NOT to participate.

Secondly, we want to make sure every picture posted for this competition is AMAZING! out of focus shots of a new figure sitting on a coffee table with the flash making the shot even worse will not do. We really wanna raise the bar on this one.

Thirdly, we want to generate a bit more discussion and traffic on the site. If people check in 3 or 4 times a day just to see what the other team, or their own teammates have done.

4th. Obviously the nFo is all about the 25A figures (and beyond!). The other side, other than needing a name, caters to the ARAH figures. The Bastard Era stuff (JvC-DTC) are open to either side. HOWEVER, the Bastard Era comic packs, relying on the old ARAH style, goes to the ARAH. The 6-packs are, for the most part, open game.

5th. ONCE a character is used for a side, the other side can't use it (unless they are getting pummeled, right???).

6th. Vehicles are universal.


So gang, let's see what ya got. It's go time suckas. The nFo is here, and we ain't backin down!

If people keep within the spirit intended, it should be a bit of fun. Consider me honour bound to defend the o-ring!

Thumbs up nfo

Nfo sucks... LOL
Agreed with Craig, lets hope people keep within the fun spirit of things. I'm siding on the O.W.N particularly as I am not a fan of hasbro's recent work.

This competition has resulted in a lot of amazing photos already, but I find the logos on the photos detract from the pictures. They remind me of the annoying station logos on TV shows. Just something to consider.

I like this idea very much. I would love to participate as well. I love all eras, but I have to say I would side on the nFo for this competition. I think they molds are improving more and more. So yeah, I have to declare nFo.
