Picture of the Month Contest!

The deadline has been extended! We're trying something here at TFU.INFO Magazine; instead of a Question of the Month, we've decided to have a bit more fun. We're want all the people with photo editing skills to chime in on this one. Here's the challenge:

Take any picture from the figure archive (any picture at all: toy, cartoon, comic, etc) and digitally recolor it to your tastes and send it in to us. Judging will be on skill, originality, theming, and overall-badassness.

We've gotten a lot of great entries here so far, but we want more! Flood my email with cool digital recolors!

TFU.INFO still needs your help!

There's still a bunch of pics missing from the site and TFU.INFO needs your help to fill them in. So, if you see the following image and think you can fill some pics in, please contact us.
