    That guy who won a figure of himself, pictured here:

    Andrew's figure

    That's just a new head on an Anakin Tatooine Attack figure.

    If I won a figure of myself, I wouldn't want a head swap! Is it just me or is that a lame-o prize?

    I would say it is all about bragging rights.

    I think it would be kinda creepy seeing yourself in plastic like that.

    I'm just saying, yes it would be great to have a figure of yourself, but wouldn't you prefer an actual new figure instead of a headswap?

    Must be very cool for him, but I do agree that it's pretty cheesy just to do a head change. Would it really have been that hard to sculpt the kid up a quick figure? Oh well, it's still a pretty darn cool prize! :)

    If it had been a girl, it would have been her badly sculpted head atop an Arena Padme body...

    Don't worry Hasbro Nobody Notices...

    Not at all, Here is what else he won:

    " As the grand prize winner, Andrew will receive a $10,000 savings bond, a Star Wars action figure in his likeness, a trip to Hasbro to spend the day with the Hasbro Star Wars team, a complete set of Hasbro's 2003 Star Wars 3.75-inch basic action figures, a special JORG SACUL ("SACUL" is Lucas spelled backwards) figure, and a Hasbro Star Wars Episode II action figure poster."

    yeah, I entered that contest. His dad probably bought his whole collection. I paid for most of mine myself. Oh well.

    the head is a little small for the body...

    and i think it shouldnt be on how much you have, its on how you love it

    It's also not very fair that they never let us UK guys enter.

    Jango Joe is right. He got a lot of other great stuff. The figure of himself is probably the worst of the prizes. I would take that figure with my head on it though anytime.

    Yeah that contest should have been based on on essay or something detailing how much and why you love SW collecting. Many kids can't pay for their own stuff, and others' parents can't afford to buy them many toys. Other kids who do work may have to save up their money or use it to support their family.
