Overview: <\/strong>Build either a Mecha or a Kaiju and send it on the BZP Convention Circuit to participate! MOCs will be put on display fighting at multiple conventions and perks will be given to those who participate in the collab including  free sets and raffle entries! (Note: in order to receive the perks, you will have to ensure you sign up for the circuit.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Mecha\/Kaiju: <\/strong>Mecha<\/a> are giant piloted robots popularized in anime (like Gundam) and movies (like Pacific Rim). Kaiju <\/a>are giant monsters popularized in movies (like Godzilla and Pacific Rim) and television (like Kamen Rider or Power Rangers). Build your coolest mechs and beasts so they can fight it out across North America!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional Requirements:<\/strong> <\/strong>All MOCs should be scaled to the Hero Factory Invasion From Below (HF IFB) series minifigs. Those minifigs\u2019 dimensions are approx. 7x4x2 studs (tall x wide x deep) as shown in picture below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOCs are not required to have a figure, but it would be cool for some of them to be piloted by the HF figs! To keep MOCs in this scale and to scale with one another, please follow the below height rubric:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Considerations:<\/strong> <\/strong>As more of a general guideline, Mecha should be more angular and mechanical while Kaiju should be more organic in nature. Kaiju are giant monsters, after all, so they should have some sort of claws\/fangs\/spikes. Mecha should have more mechanical detailing and armoring as well as weaponry. They have to fight the Kaiju somehow, but how they can fight is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenery:<\/strong> Mecha and Kaiju are pretty awesome on their own, but they look even better when they\u2019re laying waste to a city! In addition to building awesome robots and monsters, we\u2019re looking for people to make buildings and other scenery to spread around the display to give it some scale. The good thing is, since they\u2019re not the main focal point and they\u2019re there to be destroyed, they don\u2019t have to be super-detailed or even look finished. Some things we\u2019d like to see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
