Scion Xposed Contest Win a LIMITED Urban Vinyl/Designer Toy
Hello all,
My name is Andrew from Blackwater Toys. I’m new to this forum and I hope this is the right area to post this. We are an Urban Vinyl/Designer Toy company and we will be holding a contest to give away eight of our toys, Kuggs, at our booth (RIGHT NEXT TO URBANRACER) in Scion Xposed - Jones Beach, New York, September 24, 2006.
Before I go show you guys the pictures of the Kuggs and the contest details I wanted to give you the concept behind Kuggs. Sorry, this is going to be a long post. :?
Concept
My partner (Johnny) and I wanted to do a toy with a certain shape where artists and consumers can redesign on their own. We also wanted a character behind the shape with have a strong back-story and a sense of meaning behind it. We didn't want a toy where people were just moved by the design. We wanted the design on the Kugg to some type of meaning behind it, not because it just looks cool.
Kuggs is the symbol about the struggle of everyday life. It's about accepting life the way other people has forced you to take. It's about the frustration of knowing that something is better out there for you and there is nothing you can do to change your situation. It's about being trapped and having no choice. It's about being faceless and having no voice. It's about being everyone that ultimately becoming no one.
A more detailed description is on our website - www.blackwatertoys.com
Prize
The Kugg that we will giving away in the contest will be the 6" Kugg. The Kugg retails at $65.00, it comes with a 6" tall Kugg, a 3" long subway train and a smaller Kugg that stands 3/4" high. The run for the 6" Kugg is limited to 250 for each design. In order words there are only 250 pairs of Kuggs. After this run, we will go the more "traditional" route and make them out of roto with the rare occasion of very limited run of solid polyresin Kuggs.
Contest
The contest is to design a Kugg and Scion car. The contestant canl design a Kugg and Scion to whatever they see fit. It can be a reinterpretation of the character, it can be a designed pattern lay over the Kugg, it can be a scene, it is open to whatever you want to do. I have attached Jpegs for you to download and design. After you finish the design you will have to emailed it to info@blackwatertoys.com. We will pick eight winners from the entries we receive. The winners will have to be present at our booth when we announce the winners. I will post later on the times that we will be announcing the winners.
**For those of you who know Adobe Illustrator and would like an EPS file, email us at info@blackwatertoys.com and we'll get it to you.
