How about a challenge that involved making a set/diorama of figures from the same episode or on a theme? A theme could work, but multiple figures add to the time involved and following a specific episode could be a bit like the Make A Partner challenge.

Maybe a bad guy challenge would be cool. But one that doesn't include Spike, Dru, Darla, Angel, or Anya ... be interesting to work on figures for some of the other smaller big bads. I know I've had a few ideas, I haven't got around to.

A theme could work, but multiple figures add to the time involved and following a specific episode could be a bit like the Make A Partner challenge. What I mean is creating your own Buffy/Angel figure line. If you wanted to make it from just one episode or on a theme, that would be your choice.

I've updated the calendar for October and November. I'll book more challenges next month.
October 2007 Challenge - Spotlight on Giles
Make a custom of Giles, either alone or as part of a tableau.
There are new DST figures out for Giles. He's a great character. Let's give the man his due and make some great customs!
November 2007 Challenge - What Not To Wear
Make a custom of a character wearing an odd outfit of some sort. Here are some ideas:
- What you consider to be a fashion-disaster. - Inapropriate to the occasion (like Bunny Anya or overly-sexy-at-school Cordy). - Fancy dress is also acceptable for this challenge.

I am sponsoring the September challenge.
I'm looking for sponsorship for the next few challenges: October - Spotlight on Giles, and November - What Not to Wear. Please PM me, if you are interested.
September 2007 Challenge - Alternate Realities, Doppelgangers & Metamorphoses
I will be sponsoring this challenge with a prize for the winner. I will participate in this challenge, but will not compete.
Create a custom from a BTVS/Angel alternate reality, different dimension or some kind of doppelganger.
This could be anything in Pylea, The Wish alternate universe, any incarnation of The First, the Buffybot, Twin Xander, Demon Giles, Wolf Oz, etc.
The custom can be for the character in mid-transformation or full transformed.

really cool sept challenge, which I doubt ill be able to take part in due to university starting in early sept...15th...gives me two weeks to try and get one made though I guess...so Ill do my best.
I think for more entries though the challenges need to be a lot more open ended just like this september one.
Ones that focus on characters such as giles and oz are fun as we get to see those characters more but hardly anyone ever takes part in them.
Simple challenges such as the good ole' out of the limelight one which was done ages ago or under a spell challenges etc and the beautiful buffy one, get entries as you can apply it to a lot of things.
I guess its hard to keep coming up with new open ended challenges that havent been done before though.
I guess repeatings ome challenges cant hurt though such as beautiful buffy, not anytime soon but maybe some next year to re-do it again, plus im sure there'll be a new batch of customizers then who missed out on it originally.

If willowswarlok hasn't already picked a theme for the December challenge, I think something with a festive/light-hearted feel would be nice since it's the holidays.
So maybe an ornament ch allege? Choosing Happy/Fun/Joyful moments and capturing them in an ornament form. Not necessarily using the mini-bust ornaments as your base, just pieces that could be hung from a Christmas tree or what not.

OK, let's brainstorm again for topics we really want to cover!
Feel free to suggest topics similar to past challenges that were popular. There are links to all the old challenges in the first post.

maybe some sort of challenge involving the characters after a battle and having been beaten up or something. cant think of a good title.
good examples could be buffy after the first uber vamp attack.
prophecy girl girl buffy after having been bitten by master.
fred in 'inside out'.
freshmen buffy after having sunday beat her up.
wesley after being tortured by faith.
etc
you get the idea.lol. so basically something like 'Black and Blue' or whatever. just an idea I randomly had.

How about the title "Battle Damaged"? I like that idea. Those are always favorites of mine to create. Maybe we should have another character challenge that doesn't get enough customs made. Like Xander or Wesley? Also, the Beautiful Buffy challenge was a big success, maybe we should do another one of those. I would love to have a Firefly/Serenity challenge too. And maybe just a general 'Baddies' challenge. -Jess

I personally think a large challenge that would get a lot of participants would be good. I think some sort of dead/undead challenge would be fun. It could entitle any vamp, characters that are living their final moments, ghosts, or other undead people. It would give a wide vareity, but not too much vareity that every custom made for the month falls into the category. Some examples would be:
Spike Angel Darla Dru Buffy (Prophecy Girl, Gift, or Bargaining) Liliah (Calvary, Salvage, Home) Tara (Seeing Red) Ghost Willow Marcy etc.

Keep up the brainstorming!
I've set a challenge for January, though. This one is always popular, and I'll be participating.
January 2008 Challenge - Can't Stop the Signal
Create a custom of a character from the "Firefly" TV series or the "Serenity" movie.

How about any of the other slayer newbies (like Janie aka Buffy, Satsu, etc.) from Season 8? Actually anything from Season 8 - i.e. supporting characters (like Rowena, General Voll, etc.), baddies (Amy, sans-flesh Warren, Lady Genevieve, Roden, etc.) There is so much to work with there. Just a thought
