Then post photos of your Cube Dudes to our Facebook page, and your name will be entered into our draw!

Full contest details and rules:

1. Go get a Cube Dude (or 3) from Cherry Bomb Toys.
2. Grab your camera, and take a photo of your Cube Dude on display. Each character Dude you own (1960's Batman, the Tick, and Cthulu) may get its own photo.
3. Post the photos of your Dudes on display on our Facebook wall by 11:59pm on Saturday September 15 2012. For each character that you post, your name (as it appears on Facebook) will be entered once into our draw. This means that you may be entered up to 3 times!
4. We will draw a name out of a hat and notify the winner via a Facebook message.

So get out there and share our contest with friends and family. And say CHEESE!

... And in Other News...

So the build of the 1960's Batmans (Batmen?) is all finished, and they turned out incredible. Each one is unique because the eyebrows and nose details were hand drawn on, just as they were hand painted on to Adam West's mask back in the day. The craft room is still full of glitter from the Vegas Version. As has been claimed, "If glitter is the herpes of the craft world, than Vegas Version Batman is the Charlie Sheen of Cube Dudes."

Charlie Sheen... I mean Vegas Version 1960's Batman

We've also worked out the details for the Summer 2012 contest. I'll be posting full contest rules and details on our Facebook page (have you "liked" us yet???) within the next week, but I suggest you prepare yourself by:

1. Get yourself a Cube Dude or three. We currently have three versions for sale (subject to availability at Cherry Bomb Toys- they ARE limited edition runs after all). 
2. Grab your camera and prepare yourself for a photo frenzy
3. "Like" Cube Dudes on Facebook and await further instructions.

Our 3 Dudes currently offered for sale...

We're just working out the final details for prizes, but we will give you ample opportunity to enter! So keep your eyes peeled for just a teensy bit longer.

And now that Batman is out of the way, we're beginning the design and prototype build for the A-Team characters to be donated and auctioned off to raise money for the MS Society at the October Toy Fair. It's pretty exciting to be working on a one of a kind project.* It's also exciting to know that the guys at Cherry Bomb Toys have also been hyping this unique set, so there is already a fan base waiting to bid on them. I'm excited to see the bidding war we can create, and curious about just how much money we can help raise.

*ok- there will be the prototypes, and the finalized donation set... so technically two, but each will be unique as we work out any bugs in the design and build between sets).

And the winner is...

Cthulu! Next Cube available for sale will be Cthulu. This will be a limited edition run, so be sure to watch for when they become available so you don't miss out.

Prototypes on Display

If you want to vote on your favourite prototype, but find the pictures just don't do the Dudes justice and can't decide, head on down to Cherry Bomb Toys and ask to see the prototypes in person. They will be on display there.

And while you're there, don't forget to pick up tickets to the Victoria's Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair being held April 1st. You just might be able to find some Cube Dudes there (and if not there will be bazillions of other great toys to buy).

And the Vote is On

Well, it looks as though Cthulu is off to a head start out of the gate, but there's still lots of time! Just tell us which is your favourite Cube Dude between the Phantom, Cthulu, and Ash by April 15th, and we'll build a limited run of them for sale!

Vote by commenting on the Previous Post and telling me which is your favourite!

Do you need to own Ash? Say so! Think the Phantom is too great to pass up? Tell me! Do you worship Cthulu? Don't be shy! You just might end up with the chance to own your favourite Cube Dude yet!

Time to Choose

So the Tick Cube Dudes are selling well, and so we've been encouraged to make a new series for sale. The problem is, which one? Bill has been building Cube Dudes for himself as a hobby for so long now, he has a a wide range of prototypes to choose from.

And so, he's narrowed it down to three: Which one do you want to see next in Cherry Bomb Toys?

The Phantom

Can't you just imagine a Vegas Version of the Phantom... all purple and sparkly? I mean come on! Who wouldn't want that!

Cthulu

Really, who DOESN'T need a Great Old One in paper form?

 Ash

Trapped in time, Surrounded by Evil, Low on Gas, and made out of Paper, yet somehow he'll still find a way to fight off all of the Deadites in your life.

So let us know which is YOUR favourite, and it might be the next Cube Dude available for sale! Vote by commenting below before April 15th 2012.

Please note that the photos in this post are of prototypes. Due to paper availability and the hand crafted nature of these items, variations in colours and slight placement of features WILL occur. I promise they will still look just as awesome though.
