Yay, October! It's the month for harvesting delicious pumpkins, savoring the best beer of the year, eating pie, and getting costumes ready for all kinds of fun and mischief. Well, that's if you're into that kind of thing.

This month, submit your spookiest figure-centric images in the comments section below for a chance at various cool prizes sponsored by HobbyLink Japan: Kotobukiya's Fine Art Statue Captain America, Max Factory's Meiko Honma, Bandai's Chibi-Arts C.C. and Premium Sega Prize Mari Illustrious Makinami. All four of them look awesome, so make sure you bring your A-game this month! As usual, everyone is welcome to join, but I'll need some help with shipping fees if you live outside of the U.S. and Canada. Once I receive the prizes, I'll take pictures of them to feature on the front page.

As for last month's contest, the winners are: Orannis and Invincible! Both of you, please email me (kristina [at] tomopop [dot] com) with your prize preferences and street addresses. I'm also picking a runner-up entry for some trading figures: Anime0Milk! Shoot me an email to claim your prize.

Great job with last month's contest, and good luck with this month's! Your due date is Monday, Oct. 29, so you've got three weeks a week and a half from today to enter. If you're wondering what happened to the more long-form Megapixel contest, they aren't totally gone -- I'm just going to do it less often since they're so much more work. I think the next one will be in January, so be ready for it!
