C.O.M.B.A.T. (Charitable Organization Mobile Battle Android Trooper)

Welcome to version 2 of OG13’s charity figure drive. This year, we will be donating all profits to a single OGer in need, who will be revealed at the end of this endeavour. 100% of the figures, accessories, casting, molds, paint, labels, money, and time came directly from our charity crew. This was 100% OGer funded and driven!

It’s my honor to present this year’s recipent of the 2014, umm, ish Charity Figure fund raising.

This gentleman is a great member of the OG13 family and a wonderful family man in real life as well. He is a customizer of many skills and leads one of our customs groups. Without going into detail of what happened to him, and just saying that when the discussions of who should we show our gratitude to and spread some cheer, one name came up first, often and was a easy decision for us.

We were going to present him this gift at Joecon but decided he could use the funds for Joecon expenses. We will be presenting him with the C.O.M.B.A.T. Charity figure, #1 of 50, during our time at this years Joecon.

So without any further rambling……..2014-ish Award goes to:

Miguel “Jpnx” Rios……..

Congratulations from us and thank you for being a part of our OG13 family!

The Medd Project by Angel Forge

 Charity, News  Comments Off on The Medd Project by Angel Forge
Mar 142015
 

Our good friends at AngelForge have let us know about an opportunity to help lift the spirits of a really, really great human being who has been a longstanding pillar of the community, and can really use some positivism in his life.

From XOC2008:

“You guys know Meddatron, and he’s had some major health things come up lately. I don’t want to say more than that, because it’s not my place, but I wanted to add that what we do I guarantee will be appreciated for a long time to come. And sure, he may see this post, so be it.

You guys have your charity thing, and this isn’t really that. Some of us at Angelforge and an the 118th (so far) are going in on a group project for Medd. It doesn’t have to be strictly customs, though a lot of us are working on stuff like that. If you want to participate, feel free to join AF’s forum if you haven’t, and come to the thread here: http://theangelforge.vbulletin.net/f…e-medd-project.

Even if you can’t actively participate but have some ideas that you might want to toss our way, we’d appreciate it. Thanks!

If you get a chance, click through the URL below and see if you are inspired. Meddatron is seriously one of the great ones.

Squadron of Hope: Helping Tammie

From the desk of: Vegabond/Vega Customz

“Squadron of Hope. Why are we doing this? Many people in the action figure collecting and customizing community know Mike Samsel, also known as “Bricks“. Mike’s sister, Tammie, was recently found unresponsive. She suffered significant brain damage and was taken off of life support last week. Unfortunately she has no life or health insurance, so her medical expenses will need to be paid out of pocket by her family.

Several customizers have come together to form Squadron of Hope. We are auctioning custom action figures and vehicles to raise money to help pay for Tammie’s medical expenses. Every penny raised will go directly to Mike to help the family through this tough time. Please click on our events tab, and bid on whatever you like, and know it will go to a good cause.

Female Action Figure Kickstarter “I Am Elemental”

 Charity, News, Spotlight  Comments Off on Female Action Figure Kickstarter “I Am Elemental”
May 162014
 

frontpage spotlight

Fierce female action figures that embody the Elements of Courage: Bravery, Energy, Honesty, Industry, Enthusiasm, Persistence & Fear.

IAmElemental Action Figures for Girls were designed to accomplish three goals.
First, they are intended to be a positive and fierce re-interpretation of the traditional female action figure.

Second, IAmElemental action figures encourage girls to reinvent the superhero myth by creating their own empowering stories. In the traditional, male-dominated superhero universe, action figures are endowed with powers from without (via a spider bite, mutant DNA, or some sort of “accident”). In the IAmElemental universe, the girl herself is the superhero – and she has all the superpowers she will ever need already inside of her.

Third, we set out to create a toy that is super fun to play with and collect. We knew from the outset that if the figures weren’t well-designed, nothing else would matter.

Last week we showcased The PIF Crew’s Triggerman Charity Contest hosted by Daveviper. OGers from across the globe donated money to Toys for Tots, and last Sunday the Triggerman contest kicked off with a fury. When the dust settled, Jericho Noleski, Ozzie92, and Subway each took home a Retaliation figure… but the big winner was Toys for Tots, who received a donation of $120! Awesome work, OGers… and kudos to Daveviper for spearheading this great event!

From the generous mind of SB Cobra:

“This is pretty straight forward. I put this up for auction/sale and %65 goes to the WWProject directly, %15 to cover shipping and fee’s, and the rest gets rolled over into buying another vehicle to keep building ’em 6-8weeks in rotation so I can keep giving to charity; specifically to Wounded Warrior and Ride to Recovery. These are two programs aimed to help out warfighter’s in their times of need. I can personally say that both are GREAT groups and charities that help more than can be expressed. They’ve helped me before, so now I’m doing what I can to give back.”
