Before we get to the winner of the contest, I just wanted to pass along the news that NECA has released new images of its upcoming two-pack of Jareth (the Goblin King) and Hoggle from the cult film Labyrinth. I must say, NECA may be taking their famed devotion to detail a bit too far:
As Red Kryptonite wrote to me, it “kind of gives new meaning to the term ‘original packaging’.”
Now that I’ve blinded you forever, let’s get to the contest. The winner of the MOC Hulkbuster Iron Man is…no one. I didn’t get the twenty entries I requested, so I’m going to save the Hulkbuster for a later contest tied in with the Iron Man movie. I take full responsibility for this–I didn’t really give you a very good photo to work with. Please don’t hate me.
The DCUC2 March Madness is still going on, though. We’ve got two more weeks for the toys to ship–if they haven’t arrived at my apartment by April 1, I’m going to throw everyone’s name in a hat and pick a winner at random.

I want my childhood unZoomed In thank you very much *lip trembles*
Poe
Well, they sent me a giant hi-res photo of Jareth, which I interpreted as an invitation to post a huge crotch-shot on my website. So the blame really lies with me.
Esbat
NECA… SENDS you crotch shots? They're sick and awesome.
Poe
Again, apologies all, but the hi-res image NECA sent me just begged for that…
Paul
Hmmmm it seems like you've take a page out of my crotch shot book:

Esbat
All of the above was in regards to the crotch shot, and not the HMIM no win. I keep advertising but people doesn't seem to feel confident they're funny. Or they're lazy, either way. You keep doing the contests I'll keep adverting them
Esbat
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
*gasp*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

YOu made me wake up every cat in the house, now I have to feed them. I hate you. And Bowie's crotch.
Red Kryptonite
OH MY GOD. That's instant eyeball stigmata. And I didn't even have a problem, per se, with Bowie's
…pants…in the movie. It seemed to fit the whole "crazy Goblin metaphor for your adolescent awakening, Jennifer Connelly" that is totes the subtext of the entire film.
I may take Labyrinth too seriously. Like, wrote an essay on it in 8th grade too seriously. Still: I must look away. And question why you want to hurt us, Poe; unless it's only to help us grow up, babysit our little brother without having a hissy, and put aside our childish toys.
