01 AlexSoto (Orlando, FL)

ZACH:There’s a lot of stuff going on here. A skeleton theme would have been cool, but add in intestines and broken hearts and banners and you lose me. Nice detail, though.

TADOS: Pull my pink handles and I will DESTROY YOU!!! fnar fnar...

TODIEFOR: Not afraid to show detail. Who says detail is a bad thing when it’s one of a kind…

TOYGODD: I get where it was going but there is too much detail for such a small piece.

BARONESS: Pretty impressive for just using markers.

KOZIK: Busy.

02 Andrew Bell (Brooklyn, NY)

ZACH: Awesome! The legs look really mechanical, and the head looks really fleshy! Plus, putting a guy in its mouth makes it creepy as hell!

TADOS: Is that a tongue in your cockpit deri, or are you just pleased to see us? - BRILLIANT!

TODIEFOR: Love the whole thing, nice work, feels like a star wars creature.

TOYGODD: I can almost hear the call of the wild here.

BARONESS: I LOVE it! The eyes are killer. Nice pics too.

KOZIK: Like the legs and feet.

03 Anthony Pellegrini (Portland, OR)

ZACH: I can’t really tell what you’re going for here. Are those flames? Cracks? It’s a neat paint effect, but doesn’t add much to the whole.

TADOS: Looks like a night out in Rotherham on legs...

TODIEFOR: More effort please…

TOYGODD: Not enough.

BARONESS: Oh, I love it when little kids enter contests....

KOZIK: Good interior.

04 Brian Flanagan (Santa Cruz, CA)

ZACH: Dude, is that a ghost from Super Mario Bros? If so, great use of pop-culture iconography. If not, then I guess the driver isn’t that zombie girl from Capcom, either. Nice clear legs, though – smart!

TADOS: Right up our street! - the hat ROCKS!!

TODIEFOR: Love the ghost theme, makes us want to play video games…

TOYGODD: Reminds me of Pokemon....

BARONESS: Why do I have this overwhelming urge to wear red overalls, collect coins, and save a princess?

KOZIK: Love it. Whimsical.

05 Casey Collett-Paule (Seattle, WA)

ZACH: All this is missing is a cute little Ci-Boy with a spiked helmet. Very metal. Also, I like that it has arms, but no face. (I assume the skulls are merely decorative.)

TADOS: Cheer up! the sun has got his hat on! lalalalalala....!

TODIEFOR: Very hot topic, now all it needs is Spongebob shorts…

TOYGODD: Run...run for your life!!!

BARONESS: By Demons be Driven!

KOZIK: SATAN RULES!

06 David Buschermohle (Louisville, KY)

ZACH: Again, this is a mish-mash. When I think “barcode,” I don’t also think “fleur-de-lis,” or whatever that thing is. Put some corporate propaganda on that sucker. Obey!!!

TADOS: Try harder.

TODIEFOR: Boy scouts just got a little more fancy…

TOYGODD: Really needs something more.

BARONESS: 1776? Barcodes? Biohazard symbol?...

KOZIK: Hmm..nope.

07 David Fox (Long Beach, CA)

ZACH: Nice Kidrobot butt-kissing! I’m sure Nichole will give you good marks. ;) Not digging the homeless theme, but the cigarette butt could have led to a cool ashtray theme.

TADOS: We heard that shit-chic is the new burberry...

TODIEFOR: Not into the recycled materials…the cigarette not needed…D- for effort.

TOYGODD: No.

BARONESS: I'd give him change.

KOZIK: I think I saw this one on the median over on Van Ness.

08 Derek Albeck (Simi Valley, CA)

ZACH: It reminds me of Vaughan Bode. And for some reason Bob Marley. I like the bubble-blowing theme, but I wonder if there’s a better way to convey that.

TADOS: Bubble bobble bubble bob.

TODIEFOR: B for effort.

TOYGODD: OK.

BARONESS: Making this destroyer took lots of balls. OK, that was bad...but nice paint job on the interior! I love the skull.

KOZIK: Cool. Acid.

09 Jason Hembree (Oakland City, IN)

ZACH: Despite the poor photography, this one still looks disturbing. The smiley face, the red insides… not sure what the goal was, but I’m moving on.

TADOS: BWAAAAARGH.

TODIEFOR: Looks like someone left the toy out in the rain. I actually think the poor photo is helping this.

TOYGODD: Huh? Blurry picture.

BARONESS: Way to work that disposal camera man! God bless digital.

KOZIK: uh uh.

10 Jesse Destasio (Hollywood, FL)

ZACH: Oh my god, they killed Rex Ganon! Nice addition of another element – it led to something very different. I can see a series of these, all with different heads.

TADOS: Attack of the mutant fart jelly.

TODIEFOR: Is that Bob Saget from Full House inside a Mary Kate and Ashley pez?

TOYGODD: Should be titled "I had a REALLY bad day!"..nicely done.

BARONESS: Very futuristic.

KOZIK: I like the concept.

11 Jesse Garcia (Honolulu, HI)

ZACH: The primitive faces on the advanced machinery is kinda confusing. Would have been nice in a straight-up camo, like the bear. (Or do they already make one of those?)

TADOS: Love the walnut dash detail.

TODIEFOR: More effort please…

TOYGODD: Needed something more.

BARONESS: This destroyer is a 4....The BAPE Bearbrick makes it a 8. He's so cute!

KOZIK: Don't like the faces.

12 Justin Moran (Lancaster, CA)

ZACH: Nice! Reminds me of a really expensive sneaker. Combined with the grafitti, gives a great urban feel. Some laces on the front would have been a neat touch.

TADOS: Comin to get ya bill!

TODIEFOR: Nice work, let’s put the “cat” (caterpillar logo) on it and make some money and start a construction company. Why are 4 people all about LA…

TOYGODD: Great colors..zoom zoom.

BARONESS: Yeah, I agree with Zach, looks like a shoe.

KOZIK: Sporty, I like.

13 Kurt Parker (Portland, OR)

ZACH: That is the coolest thing ever. Are those Ci-Boy heads on the front? I love that the engines are Sharpie marker caps. Well done.

TADOS: Great idea, great execution!

TODIEFOR: I love this thing…Sharpies and all…send this thing to Bush’s office and let go of the sharpies…

TOYGODD: Very cool, does it come with bombs?

BARONESS: Props to P-Town!! LOVE the use of the Sharpie.

KOZIK: JATO. I dig it.

14 MAD (Ontario, CA)

ZACH: I’ll admit that I’ve never been into the grafitti culture, and those damn nozzle heads are everywhere, but these are pretty damn slick. They’re even posed cool. Bravo.

TADOS: As above. Mad, you ROCK and you know it! :D

TODIEFOR: We got a toy expert here and you know it. Send me one please, I would love to own one.

TOYGODD: GREAT job! Makes me want to pick it up and start spraying.

BARONESS: Mad is the best. Chuch!

KOZIK: AWESOME!

15 Mimic (Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK)

ZACH: If you’re gonna put a Destroyer in pants, give it a shirt and tie! You have three cool elements—clothes, the cap and the paint job—that should have been their own things.

TADOS: Arg... Is that a deodorant canister top?

TODIEFOR: Kikwear pants are still in? I like the piece in the back…

TOYGODD: Just don't like the pants.

BARONESS: Yeah baby, take off those pants!

KOZIK: Like the paint, not the pants.

16 Mitch Ernst (Lafayette, CO)

ZACH: He’s a frickin’ ninja! Or a very fashionable mummy! No, definitely a ninja, built for stealth. And his driver’s a ninja, too! Rock! I like it.

TADOS: Da Beast from da East!

TODIEFOR: An icon for Goodyear tires. I can see it now…

TOYGODD: YEAH!!!!!!

BARONESS: This one couldn't definitely kick some major booty.

KOZIK: This one is cool. I'm scared.

17 Myke Dye (NYC, NY)

ZACH: That silver paint job is pristine. Very nice. Are those Gundam Deathscythe wings? Never seen clear ones before. Nice addition.

TADOS: Wow! Does it come with a batphone?

TODIEFOR: Nice one bud, way to make everyone’s look bad…This destroyer is, “AMAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!”

TOYGODD: Like to take this one up against #13! Nicely done.

BARONESS: Beautiful! Doesn't even look like the original destoyer. I have a feeling those wings came from a Gundam.

KOZIK: Whoa. Cool wing. Scratchbuilt or found?

18 Norn Cutson (Candler, NC)

ZACH: Finally! “The Bird Cage” Ci-Boys! There’s something vaguely drag-queen about the fact that this destroyer is wearing a wig. Or is this Ronald McDonald’s robot mistress?

TADOS: 10 dollah sucky sucky!!

TODIEFOR: Ohh great, what did Cher do to herself now…..

TOYGODD: "Hey waitress, over here!"

BARONESS: This is the bad begining to a low-budget porn.

KOZIK: Shouldn't this be at a Phish concert? Oh wait-they broke up.

19 Seon Augustine (Ontario, CA)

ZACH: I like this a lot. The wires, the paint, the dome… But I would have done something different on that front surface, instead of a shapeless mass. Maybe a cycloptic eye?

TADOS: Ooh look mum! Its ass is its face! And its face is its ass!!

TODIEFOR: Back to #17, what was I saying?

TOYGODD: Very urbanesque.

BARONESS: Reminds me of 'Battlefield Earth'. Hopefully it will get better ratings than the movie.

KOZIK: Good concept..needs better finish.

20 Steven Parra (Alamogordo, NM)

ZACH: Flame deco = classic cool. Lower-case words representing destruction = bad high school poetry. Heart with thorns around it = regrettable tattoo.

TADOS: Linkin Bizkit New Metal edition comes with extra angst and clip on 'I
hate myself' badge.

TODIEFOR: Kid Rock? What the hell?

TOYGODD: I have to concur with Kozik, no.

BARONESS: This destroyer is 'down with the sickness'. To Ozzfest...and beyond!!

KOZIK: Nope.

21 Yan Cheung (Albany, CA)

ZACH: Those lines are sloppily drawn, and they clash to boot. If it had all been black and purple, it would have created a mood, at least. The front logo is lost on me.

TADOS: STOP THE EVIL! STOP THE EVIL!!!!

TODIEFOR: Jamaican Wood. Wow!!

TOYGODD: I was given a dish like this as a wedding gift.

BARONESS: This wins "Best toenail clippers in background'.

KOZIK: Wavy Gravy?

22 Andrew Newcomb (Walnut Creek, CA)

ZACH: I feel like the egg that has its own mobile battle platform is the one that’s NOT going to get smashed. He’s obviously been stomping other eggs, which is cool.

TADOS: You smell like a bad egg.

TODIEFOR: Someone stepped in the middle of a food fight. I like it.

TOYGODD: Reminds me of Halloween night and getting egged.

BARONESS: Nice texture with those eggs.

KOZIK: Funny. I like it.

23 David Reeves (St. Peters, MO)

ZACH: Clever, but why doesn’t it have a camo pattern, like in the diagram? Or at least a flag? Crapping into a helmet is funny – make it look like a helmet! No paint = no effort.

TADOS: Its a bog that can jog!! geeeenius!

TODIEFOR: He has a nugget playing peek-a-boo.

TOYGODD: LOL..it's a hat too?

BARONESS: Holy crap!

KOZIK: Nice concept.

24 Ben Lokiec (Bay Village, OH)

ZACH: …Yeah, sorry, I don’t get it. It looks like bed sheets, or a Kleenex box, or something else sickeningly bland. ToyGodd’s right – put a plant in it.

TADOS: Nice flowers!

TODIEFOR: Aloha, bro!

TOYGODD: Looks like a planter.

BARONESS: Queer Eye for the Straight Destroyer.

KOZIK: Too fluffy.

25 Klim Kozinevich (Brooklyn, NY)

ZACH: I may actually like this less than the transvestite clown we saw earlier. Too many cute elements—one would’ve been enough. If you’re not careful, you may get a cartoon deal.

TADOS: Pleeeeease let us set its hair alight!!!!

TODIEFOR: I knew trolls were coming back…then beanie babies..

TOYGODD: I hate trolls, give me some scissors.

BARONESS: Beat him up for his lunch money!

KOZIK: Trolls suck.

26 Jean-Paul Audette (Eugene, OR)

ZACH: I like that it looks like an old army helmet, complete with the serial number on it. But what’s up with the peace sign? Has the helmet become a conscientious objector? Odd.

TADOS: Do you, by chance, collect lead figures?

TODIEFOR: Peace and war kind of don’t mix…

TOYGODD: Simple, yet elegant.

BARONESS: The 'peace' sign? HIPPIE! Wait, you are from Eugene....HIPPIE!

KOZIK: I like the degraded armor look.

27 Craig Grant (Atlanta, GA)

ZACH: Very rough sculpting, but I like the idea of a bunch of Destroyers playing soccer on a pool table or something. Steal that troll guy’s sneakers. He doesn’t need them.

TADOS: At last, wallace and gromit's shit-mobile was ready for testing....
More cheese gromit!

TODIEFOR: Love it! Nice idea, let’s go run.

TOYGODD: Great legs.

BARONESS: Look at those well defined calf muscles.

KOZIK: Could be cool as a finished item.

28 Vincent Yu (Flushing, NY)

ZACH: Looks kind of like a bug. A bug that’s been punched in the eye(s). Ugly, but not necessarily in a bad way.

TADOS: DON’T PICK IT!! You'll make it spread!

TODIEFOR: A lab experiment went bad…

TOYGODD: Looks like it has a disease.

BARONESS: This destroyer skipped Sex Education week in school. Don't they have an ointment for that?

KOZIK: I don't 'get it'.

29 Nicole Agredano (Sanger, CA)

ZACH: Interesting. This looks like some crazy alien globe, with red and white continents on a black sea. Not sure it works with the toy, but I like the colors.

TADOS: We're bored.

TODIEFOR: I’m lost.

TOYGODD: Needs more.

BARONESS: Excellent detail on the interior.

KOZIK: Not interesting.

30 Robert Alvarado (Fresno, CA)

ZACH: It looks like it’s supposed to look, which has absolutely no interest for me. This is the destroyer you buy used, just to get to and from work. Someone pimp this ride!

TADOS: We're even more bored.

TODIEFOR: Nice photos, good placement on the rock.

TOYGODD: Needs A LOT more.

BARONESS: I like the rock!

KOZIK: There's no concept.

THE FINAL VERDICT!

ZACH:
First Place : #13 looks fantastic. Great concept, nice unified design, and it looks fun as hell.
Runner-up: #4 is also fun. I love the Nintendo reference if I’m reading it right; if it’s just fun with Chinese spirits, it’s still cool.

TADOS:
First Place : #2 Andrew Bell! it just rocks. Simple as that!
Runner-up: #4 Brian Flanagan - nice tail! ;)

TODIEFOR:
First Place: #2
Runner-up: #13

TOYGODD:
First Place : #14 hands down! GREAT JOB!
Runner-up: #16 -It speaks to me, damn I only wish I knew what it was saying :).

BARONESS:
First Place : #2 The detail on the rust of the feet is what got me!
Runner-up: #17 Those wings are incredible!

KOZIK:
First Place: I gotta go with #14. Kick-ass concept, excellent execution, great presentation.
Runner-up: #13 Be cool to have this as an 'accessory pack'.

............AND THE WINNER IS!!

02 Andrew Bell

Congratulations Andrew!

Thanks to all the contestants that participated. We had a blast, hope you did too!
