Contest time: Let's get creative and win some Final Fantasy IX figures! photo

Getting "review copy" of toys because you run a toy site is a great thing, but we here at Tomopop prefer to share the wealth. You may have read Jonathan's review of the Final Fantasy IX Play Arts figures, and I hope while you were scrutinizing them you were thinking about how cool it would be to win them, because now we're about to offer you the chance to!

The contest kicks off today and will run through November 1st, 2009 at 12 Midnight CST. It's only open to residents of the US and Canada, but if you're really dying for them and you live outside those two areas, you can still win em as long as you're willing to pay for the shipping. To enter, all you have to do is write me a haiku about Final Fantasy in the comments. I'd prefer it to be about Final Fantasy IX, but if you feel particularly motivated to write about Yuna's Sending in Final Fantasy X as your topic I'm not going to disqualify you. Good luck!

Legacy Comments

Zidane is Saiyan
His Trance gives him golden hair
Kame-hame-ha
A beautiful girl:
Kuja, sexy assassin...
Oh SHI-, that's a man?!
@Phatomile - LOL!

@Colette - Are you giving them away as a set or are you picking 3 winners and handing them out individually?
old gaia . . .
a rat dances in
cheers’s sound
The blades havve been sheathed,
Kuja's defeat brings peace once...
Wait, who the hell's this?!

Boo for typos. This'll bug the hell out of me if I don fix it so:

The blades have been sheathed,
Kuja's defeat brings peace once...
Wait, who the hell's this?!


Yes, I'm a bit OCD... =P
Love the rats and Vee,
But one wee thing still bugs me,
What is with the tail?
Let's see how this works:

Vivi was a mystery,
But then you meet his brothers,
And everything made sense!
Is there a limit on how many haiku we can submit?
Yuna dances now
Sending them to the Farplane
Where they can rest now
Down the well worn road
on a search for adventure
Stiltzkin journeys on

That's not an Haiku let me try again.

Vivi was afraid,
His face hidden in darkness,
Yet he is pure light.
I created an account just so I could enter this contest. Those toys are amazing.

Quina Quen a Qu,
No quarrels with Queens, instead
Quested for cuisine
If you do not cry
When Sephiroth kills Aeris
You are not human
Well, not very good at poetry, specially in English, but there it goes ^_^:

At queen's grave...
Knife's edge cuts away
Silent sound
Garnet's got it
a very tight leotard
See a cameltoe

Its very crude, but show me a fan-art that isnt like that.
Here's a few

Hidden factory
makes SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Vivi is distraught

*ACTUAL SPOILER BELOW*

Zidane is a clone
Vivi is also aclone
and so is Kuja
And some more

large hat shrouds his face
but bright eyes shine through the dark
the brave mage; Vivi

Cid can fly airships
in seven, he's a dragoon
in nine, he's a bug
I am a moogle
I hand out Aloha Shirts
Give me kupo nuts
A haiku about Vivi

They tried to defend him,
But black waltz no.3 was two strong,
Vivi’s anger unleashed from within

I hope you liked it,
Darien
on a cozy summer day
riding chocobo
almost forget to save Garnet
You know who we hate?
Captain Basch of Dalmasca.
Signed, Town of Lhusu Mines.
Twenty hours of
Amphibian tedium...
Eat Frog Drop, Ozma!
*SPOILER ALERT*

There are three of them.
Zidane, Vivi and Kuja.
Attack of the Clones?
Final Fantasy IX is my favorite game ever! And the play arts are amazing...

here are my haiku

I hope you will like it!

Long journey...
Changing the loneliness of my heart
my final fantasy...

Little princess...
Brahne left without goodbay
pure and white... orphan

I called: comeback
But he stayed all alone...
my brave Zidane
A dashing hero
Friends from different lands unite
Melodies of Life
Thought I'd make mine about the characters up for grabs:
Also, I'm assuming like previous contests it's one entry per person?

Saving the world
They found themselves as well
Princess, thief, mage

Fled up with torn spear
Freya, in trance hurled javelins
Came down and pierced, fierce
By the way, forgot to tell that mine is about Dagger :O
Here are the best ones I could think of. I ended up writing so many, since I practically grew up with FFIX. It is by far the best game.

A small rusty sword
What do you call this weapon?
Dagger... I like it.
-Dagger discovering her name

I am an oglop
Maybe one day I'll be man
But for now? Oglop.
-Regent Cid Fabool VIII

Forever raining
Our home fell into in ruin
How could you leave us?
-Freya to Sir Fratley

Whirling winds of sand
Dissipate to show the sky
Our last defense... gone.
-Citizens of Cleyra
The original post didn't say whether or not we're allowed to write more than one, but since a ton of other people are doing it, I figured I'd go ahead and jump on the bandwagon. If it turns out to be against the rules, just take the first one as my entry.

Climbing rope ladders;
Unintentional gropage.
Watch your hands, Zidane.


Pirate's a monkey.
No explanation given.
Is not named Luffy.


Cute little black mage,
Always waddles when he walks,
Could light you on fire.


Beautiful princess
Spends most of the game silent.
Please just cut your hair.
Written with Final Fantasy IX in mind but I think it could apply to any Final Fantasy really. Well, here goes.

Children of the stones
Born of crystals womb find hope
The sun will rise again.
Wrote a couple more.

Why do the moogles
Get strangers to carry mail?
System is broken.


Kuja has a cape.
He wears the cape on his butt.
It is a buttcape.
(I may have stolen this joke.)


How does Steiner run
While wearing all that armor?
Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank.
Gotta give this a shot! My sister wants these more than anything for Christmas! :D
ok here goes:

Adventure awaits,
A beautiful fantasy,
Let's go together,

Little monkey boy,
stealling the hearts of women,
does Garnet bore you?

You've come back to me...
Hold me in your arms once more...
Oh how i've missed you...
(Garnet/Zidane)

His hat makes the rules,
choosing where he will belong,
hufflepuff it is.
(Vivi)

He's under cover,
But look closer and you'll see,
Vivi's a heartless.

After number eight,
And just before number ten,
It is number nine.











Adelbert Steiner,
used my toilet,
smell of Ghysal Pickles
Love is beautiful
All i can think of is you
Just don't break my heart
