1. Do I have to purchase my entry from Chibi's?

A: Entries do not have to be purchased at Chibi's. While we appreciate the support, we understand that you may have a kit or figurine that is perfect for this competition, and do not want to limit your creativity.

2. I have an unlicensed kit. Can I use this? 

A: Unlicensed kits, figurines, and anything else will not be permitted entry into this competition. We will require a list of materials in the entry form, and any unlicensed or bootleg items will result in an immediate disqualification (this does not apply to generic items such as pipes, etc., or items you design and print yourself). Chibi's firmly believes in licensing and authenticity. When purchasing unlicensed or bootleg items, the money does not go to the creators of the series, or anyone involved in the official production of the series and its merchandise, which ultimately hurts the industry. There are other serious issues involved with bootleg items, which we are happy to discuss at length (we are quite passionate about the topic).

3. I love blood and gore in my Halloween. On a scale of Spongebob to Saw, how much am I allowed to include in my entry?

A: As fans of Halloween and the horror genre, we do not want to limit your creativity too much. However, as a family friendly store, we also need to be respectful of all participants. As such, we are allowing blood, gore, psychological horror, and any other avenue you want to explore, so long as it does not cross the 18+ boundary. Anything that is rated 18+ will be automatically disqualified. Chibi's also reserves the right to not display or advertise more graphic entries.

4. What do you mean by 18+?

A: Anything that is excessive blood and gore (think Silence of the Lambs, The Hills Have Eyes, and other such horror movies), nudity, and anything else that is overtly graphic or sexual in content. If you have to cover someone's eyes so they aren't scarred for life, it is too much for our competition.

5. Does my build have to be scary?

A. Not at all! There's more to Halloween than just scaring each other. We look forward to seeing your interpretation of Halloween, be it spooky, sweet or something in between!

6. Do I have to build a Gundam Model?

A: Your entry does not have to be strictly Gundam. If you want to dress up a Zaku, that would be wonderful. If you want to enter a 30 Minute Sister, Zoid, or Megami Device kit, that works too. Whatever you think works best for your idea!

7. Are figurines, dolls, and non-model items okay as well?

A: Absolutely! We know this isn't typical for a "build competition", but we want this to be a fun, creative, Halloween competition. We feel that including entries based around figurines and other items will be a fun addition to this. Some items will be excluded (plushies, etc...), but if it's made of PVC, it's probably okay! If you aren't sure, feel free to ask :) We won't bite (yet).

8. If I win, do I have to pick up my prize in-store?

If you win and are located in the Kelowna area, we ask that you pick up your prize in-store.  However, if you live out of area and are unable to make the trip, we can either mail you a physical gift certificate, or, if you would prefer, we can issue you a credit to our online store for the value of the prize in question.

9. I've heard you guys are vampires. Is it true that you won't bite?
