Contest Time!

Hey guys, it's been a good, albeit unscheduled, month off (where did the time go?).

So time to get back into the thick of things!  And what better way to do it than with a contest?

Well, I can't take credit for this next giveaway, because our friends down at DASH Collector-Action Figures are behind it!

What can you win, I hear you ask?  Let me let them tell you how!

Chase Contest: And the Winner is...

Mitch Gilbert!

You've won yourself Silver Centurion Iron Man. This one I actually reviewed right here on CV!

All of you guys were right--I'm gonna have to make this contest thingy harder, though this time some of you said that was his eye--it's actually his mouth. :P

Well Mitch, email me your address and I'll send SSIM over to you as soon as I can!

As for everyone else, fret not!  More contests are on the horizon.  So until then, enjoy the reviews and also the special preview of upcoming Marvel Universe figures from San Diego Comic Con in the previous post.

Excelsior!

And The Winner Is....(Not You? Then Take a Stab at Another Figure! ;])

The Alansong!

You IDed the figure correctly as Titanium Man!  Ok, ok.  So did everyone else.  Heh.

But it was indeed third time lucky for you, Alansong!  Must be your name, which reminds me of Leprechauns.  Perhaps it's because they sing and dance to songs sung by bards...named Alan... >.<

Email me your address and I'll send out Titanium Man to ya! :D

And since Dill hasn't responded to collect his Crimson Dynamo, I've re-drawn the winner and it's...

Vern!

Your favorite Russian supervillain in red armor will be on the way once you send me your address!  Huzzah!

It must have been all that bookmarking this site on your phone and putting it up there with Marvelousnews and The Fwoosh (to which I'm very flattered) that brought you all the luck!

Thanks for reading guys! But...

You know I can't let all the rest of you walk away from your computers cursing me in Siberian, so...

Let's jump right in to the very next contest and call it:


"The weather's so cool tonight that the baby's in a great mood contest!"  ;)

Ground Rules

1) If you win the contest and you're overseas (i.e: anywhere else in the world but in Singapore), you'll still receive the figure for free!  I'll cover the shipping cost, including shipping materials.  I may opt to open the toy (something I'm very good at) and remove the bubble, especially if shipping gets too steep.  But I'll ship everything else from the card to the inserts if you like. ;)

2) If you live in Singapore, there's no definitely shipping charge--we'll arrange for a meet up so I can shake your hand, hand you the prize, and let the media (aka me) take a few snap shots. (Just kidding, no photos necessary.  Lol.)

Contest Rules

There's a couple of things you have to do in order to enter.

Firstly, identify the toy in the pic on below!  Yes, it is your prize. And yes, this one's tougher than the previous giveaway (hopefully).  Your clue is that it's also from the Iron Man 2 3.75" toy line.

Secondly, once you've identified the prize in question, reply to this post and tell me what the toy is!

Each correct answer will receive one chance to win.  But that's not all--you can double your chances if you recommend someone else to Chase Variant and get them to follow it.  (You'll have to let me know who you recommended in your post and I'll double your entry once they've followed!

You can also gain yourself one more entry if you head on over to the Chase Variant Facebook page and like it.  What?  You already like it?  Well then like the post (or you can also just say something nice, like maybe how much you like chocolate pudding and you think I should try it) and Schwing! You've earned yerself one more chance to win! (Don't forget to tell me who you are so that I can match the comment to your name on this site.)

It's that easy.  For you, that is!  For me it might turn out to be a mathematical nightmare. ;P)

Well all that's left now is a closing date!  Let's call it a week and a bit from the time of this post, that's 5am Singapore time on Saturday the 23rd of July.  (That's GMT +8.)

I hope you're stoked because I am.  And I can't even win the prize! ;P

Time For Another GIveaway!

The occasion?  Um, lets call it:

It's Hot as Hell in Singapore This Time of Year So I Gotta Give Away Something Day!

Well, it's more humid than it is hot but you get the muggy picture. :(

First off, a little bit of administrative matters...(Because we're all business here at Chase Variant. Lol.)

Dill, dude, you won the last contest but ya gotta contact me if you want your Crimson Dynamo!  It's sitting in the corner of my room crying its eyes out and blathering in Russian about how hot it is here...

Drop me an email or leave a message here so I can get your address and mail CD out to ya!  If not, I'll redraw the winner and announce him/her at the same time I announce the winner of this draw!  So if Dill doesn't get in touch with me by then, think of this post as a double contest bonanza! ;P

So the contest rules remain the same!

Ground Rules

Firstly, identify the toy in the pic on the left!  Yes, it is your prize. And yes, this one's tougher than the previous giveaway (I hope.)  :P  Here's a clue: He's not Crimson Haha. Clearly.  Haha.   But the dude is a Russian though he des look a tad Roman in this pic. ;)

Secondly, once you've identified the prize in question, reply to this post and tell me what the toy is!  Each correct answer will receive one chance to win.  But that's not all--you can double your chances if you recommend someone else to Chase Variant and get them to follow it.  (You'll have to let me know who you recommended in your post and I'll double your entry once they've followed!  It's that easy.  For you, that is!  For me it might turn out to be a mathematical nightmare. 8})

Well all that's left now is a closing date!  Let's call it a week and a bit from the time of this post, that's 5am Singapore time on Friday the 15th of July.  (That's GMT +8.)

Have fun with this one!  (Unless you already know the answer, then have fun...er..waiting? :P)  Fire away! :D

And Winner of Crimson Dynamo is...

Yes, the correct answer is Crimson Dynamo!

And after rolling my trusty 13-sided dice from the Chase Variant bag of odd-sided die, the winner is...

Dill!

Congratulations!  You won't see his entry on the contest page because for some reason he couldn't post on it, so he posted on the original Iron Man contest post.

I'll need you to email me your name and address at ewanmah@hotmail.com so I can ship the figure to ya! ;)

For those of you who haven't won--and that's like everyone except Dill and the Amazing Spider Wes (Grogan)--fret not!  More contests are coming up and with more chances of how to boost your entries.

Thanks for reading, all of you, and for sticking around!

And The Winner Is...

*Drumroll*

After using the trusty contest random-winner-picker, the winner of Chase Variant's 200th Post Contest Extravaganza I is.....

*Drumroll*

Wes Grogan!

Congratulations, Wes!  You were chosen by the lucky 9-sided die and win this here fancy pants figure on the right.

For the record, there were 9 entries, all of which had the correct answer.  And if you look at how Hasbro names the figure, I'd have accepted "Iron Man" as an answer.  But thanks to al of you who entered this site's first ever contest and commented.

Oh yes, Wes--you also have one brand new but loose flimsy cardboard crate heading your way! ;)  I'll just need your mailing address, which you can either email or Facebook me.

Since we had so much fun doing this contest, let's keep the ball rolling and head straight into the second contest ever right here on Chase Variant! It shall henceforth be dubbed:

200th Post Contest Extravaganza II!

Ground Rules

1) If you win the contest and you're overseas (i.e: anywhere else in the world but in Singapore), you'll still receive the figure for free!  I'll cover the shipping cost, including shipping materials.  I may opt to open the toy (something I'm very good at) and remove the bubble, especially if shipping gets too steep.  But I'll ship everything else from the card to the inserts if you like. ;)

Contest Rules

There's a couple of things you have to do in order to enter.

Firstly, identify the toy in the pic on the left!  Yes, it is your prize. And yes, this one's tougher than the previous giveaway.  ;)  Here's a clue: I reviewed this 3.75" villain on the old Articulated Discussion site.  He's not been ported over to the new site but Wes and Dr Nightmare are working overtime to get the old stuff to the new location (among a hundred other things. ;P)  I actually have two of this figure because the first one I got, I ended up boiling away some of the color on his legs and then screwing up his hips by mucking up the super glue trick.  So that's your other clue. ;)

Secondly, once you've identified the prize in question, reply to this post and tell me what the toy is!  Each correct answer will receive one chance to win.  But that's not all--you can double your chances if you recommend someone else to Chase Variant and get them to follow it.  (You'll have to let me know who you recommended in your post and I'll double your entry once they've followed!  It's that easy.  For you, that is!  For me it might turn out to be a mathematical nightmare. ;P)

Well all that's left now is a closing date!  Let's call it a week and a bit from the time of this post, that's 2am Singapore time on Monday the 20th of June.  (That's GMT +8.)

So without further ado, let the games begin!

200th Post Contest Extravaganza!

Well, it's taken me 2 whole years and a bit to get to this mark!  To be honest, I never expected I'd last this long or review this many toys.  But here I am!

In order to celebrate this momentous occasion, Chase Variant is having its first ever contest!  Yes, it's not a trick nor a hoax. Yes, the can-never-hold-a-contest-to-save-my-life SirDragonBane is finally giving away free stuff.  What a stingy bastard I've been, eh? :P

Let's just lay down a little ground rules before we start:

1) If you win the contest and you're overseas (i.e: anywhere else in the world but in Singapore), you'll still receive the figure for free!  I'll cover the shipping cost, including shipping materials.  I may opt to open the toy (something I'm very good at) and remove the bubble, especially if shipping gets too steep.  But I'll ship everything else from the card to the inserts if you like. ;)

2) If you live in Singapore, there's no definitely shipping charge--we'll arrange for a meet up so I can shake your hand, hand you the prize, and let the media (aka me) take a few snap shots. (Just kidding, no photos necessary.  Lol.)

Ok, so let's begin!
