As I’ve mentioned, my next toy review will be my 150th review–not exactly a record when compared to the likes of Michael Crawford or yo go re, but a milestone for me, anyway.
As such, I’m holding a contest to celebrate my next review. Here are the prizes:
- One Grand Prize Winner will get a set of MOC DCUC Booster Gold (both variants), The Flash, Captain Cold, Killer Moth, and an official Mattel DCUC poster from last year’s Comic Con.
- One First Runner-up receives a loose Hawkman and a loose Big Barda (w/ accessories but no BAF parts)
The contest is easy. You guys know what sort of figures I tend to review (here’s the link to a list of all the reviews I’ve written–be sure to check it before you make your guess). All you need to do is write a comment below with two things:
- A guess as to what figure I’ll review next, and
- A random number between 1-200.
People can guess the same figure as someone else, but try not to repeat the same numbers. I’ve already selected the figure I’ll be reviewing next and informed both Dr. Mrs. Ghostal and the Power Pals (Paul, Pete, and PrfktTear), none of whom are eligible for the contest.
The winner will be the person who guesses the correct figure and has the number closest to the winning number, which was randomly chosen by Dr. Mrs. Ghostal prior to this post being published. The runners-up will be broken down first by whether or not they guessed the correct figure, then by how close their number is (so for instance, if no one except the Grand Prize Winner guesses the correct figure but someone gets the number exactly right, that person will get the First Runner-Up prize, the next closest number gets the Second Runner-Up prize, and so forth). If there’s a tie–as in, two people pick the same figure but their number is equidistant from the winning number, I’ll flip a coin to determine who gets the Grand Prize and who’s First Runner-up.
The contest ends at 11:59pm EDT on Thursday April 2, 2009. Good luck!

And let it be known now that…since I have everyone but classic Booster…IF I win–I'll keep him and offer the other four figs to the four other people that come closest.
'Cause really…who needs two Killer Moths?

People aren't exactly being clever so far! All I see are MP Grimlock and Booster Gold.
This: "Masterpiece Grimlock 13" might be the best guess, depending on the irony that Mrs. Ghostal likes to display.
Gotta go Masterpiece Grimlock

B. I love knowing the delicious secret!
Figure: OK, this Transformer that I had when I was a kid, right? He was a plane, but he turned into a robot that couldn't move his elbows or his legs, right? And his arms, like, pushed into the body when he plane-ified. It's a long shot, but… That Guy.

Although I suspect we're all probably overlooking something, I have to go with one of the common DCUC responses:
Booster Gold.

I'll be pretty surprised if it hasn't already been guessed. Although Poe is known to review some things out of the norm (Nathan "Rad Spencer") so who knows.

Poe, you can remove me from the contest. I've got everybody on the prize lists, but Flash & Classic BG (both of which I'll probably order from Amazon or BBTS).
