Winner announcement!

Hello Minifig customizers! It is time to announce the winner for the second Burakki's Bricks minifig design competition: "Legolympics 3012". The competition was tough again and I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who entered for taking the time and making the effort - if it was upto me (and I could afford it) I would crown everyone a winner for participating. However, I can't and there can be only one winner - this time around the judges went for "Legolympics 3012: Vitual Boxing" by Tom Leech.

Although the presentation of this minifig was exceptional, the judges liked the customising of the torso/legs - I particularly liked the virtual boxing helmet with the wires. Congratulations Tom!

Now for my runners up - who will recieve a small prize from me.... "The Gladiator" By TheRaconteur.

I really liked how this minifig looked like he had already seen a lot of legolympic action and survived - rust effect is kuhl. I also like the use of the minifig skis as a shield. Well Done!

Now, for best new Legolympic event... (not strictly for the minifig design here, which is why it wasn't a main winner). "Radioactive Spitting" by Martian Cthulhu.

Can all winners get in touch for details of claiming their prizes!
