Re: New Calico Critters Koala Family


I suggested this idea to International Playthings a few e-mails ago when complaining about the names of the families.

I just checked it out, and I didn't see anything about an age limit. Sure, I'm going to feel a bit silly entering a contest for "6 and up" but I'm going to do it. Maybe if enough of other adults join in, International Playthings will start to take the product more seriously.

Looking at their animation, I'm betting it'll be in the same mould as the new JP Koalas!

If you at this picture, the Sister in the dress has an identical looking Sister at the bottom left corner!

Yeah, they look pretty much identical, right down to the little ridges in their ears - http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/41cD0QByF6L.jpg

Oh...my colored pencils are already out!

Edit:
Aaaaaaand I'm almost done coloring :P

Do you think we should post scans of our entries? Or would that be a no-no?

I guess this is one of the perks of having a kid....you can have them enter but do a lot of coaching emoticon

Re: New Calico Critters Koala Family


The contest ends on April 15 and entries need to be postmarked by April 30. I'm finalizing my entry now. I'm not too happy with the last name that I chose, but it was too perfect for my biographies and it was what sounded best with in "The _____ Koala Family."

Don't forget to enter!

Re: New Calico Critters Koala Family


So the winner for the contest has been announced and it's an 11 year old girl from Los Angeles, California (which is only an hour away from where I live). She came up with the name Outback Koala Family. Her bio for the family is actually pretty good. You can read it here:

Outback Koala Family

Her coloring is not that great but I think it's her bios that helped her win the contest. But kudos to her! Now I wonder how long we have to wait until this family is released in the US.

Re: New Calico Critters Koala Family


I've been meaning to post this! There was the winner from the other age group too. I wonder which names they will use.

I'll have to dig out my (much more awesome but obviously under-appreciated probably due to age-ism) entry to share here now that the contest is over.

I do agree that that girl's biographies were really good.
