MAN-E-NEWS// The ToyCon “War Tourist” custom competition from runDMB x Planet Domu x JPK…

In celebration of the launch of their new site, the organisers of ToyCon have joined forces with 3 of the UK’s hottest talent, runDMB, Planet Domu and Jon Paul Kaiser for a custom competition of epic proportions… Say hello to War Tourist! Originally designed by and produced by runDMB and Planet Domu, the once resin cast War Tourist has gone super sized for ToyCon UK, with the introduction of not one, but two huge exclusive fibreglass versions of the fantastic original sculpt. One of these beasts has been shipped off to the UK’s own master customiser Jon Paul Kaiser, whilst the other has been held back for one lucky customiser to get to work on for Planet Domu’s booth display! All you have to do to enter is follow these 4 easy steps;

1) Click here to download the War Tourist design template.
2) Create your Tourist either by hand or digitally
3) Give it a name
4) Email your design to wartourist@toyconuk.com, including pictures or a link to your previous custom work.

Entries must be in by December 1st, with the finished War Tourist custom due by March 1st. The ToyCon guys will be covering postage on the huge figure, which sadly means entries are restricted to UK artists only…

On another note, ToyCon tickets have just gone on sale through the new site for just £12 a piece- we suggest anyone interested in attending should bag them now, there’s very little chance they’ll be around for long!
