Submit Your Creative Idea

Please use the link below to create a post and share your creative modification idea with us.

At this stage, you do not need to actually make the project yet. We are mainly looking for your idea and creative concept first. You are welcome to use AI tools, sketches, reference images, or discussions with other community members to help develop and present your idea.

Your post should include:

  • Creation name or theme
  • The original kit you plan to transform
  • Your creative concept
  • How you plan to transform it — for example, by repainting, decorating, expanding, rebuilding, mixing materials, or giving it a completely new story
  • Reference images, sketches, or AI-generated concept images (optional)

:backhand_index_pointing_right: [Submission Link]

Submit once and you’re officially entered.


Click the link, then create a post under this tag to share your idea. :light_bulb:
Feel free to share and discuss your idea with everyone — we fully respect and support original creations.
Robotime will see your post and send you a private message with a form to fill in your shipping address.

Starting September 10, we’ll review creative ideas twice a week.
As long as your concept is clear, reasonable, and suitable for the project, we’ll send you a DIY customization pack to help bring it to life. :artist_palette::sparkles:Available while supplies last.

You can enter both Autumn and Winter with different creations.

Note:

  1. Only the Robotime Community members can apply the DIY Miniature Customization Kit.

  2. Due to shipping restrictions on some materials inside the DIY Miniature Customization Kit, we’re currently unable to ship DIY Miniature Customization Kit to some of EU countries.

  3. If a participant from an EU country wins an award, we’ll add an extra $30 worth of kits to their prize.

So excited for this :sparkles: already have the creator pack o I’m looking forward to starting my creative kit :heart:

Excited to join this! I don’t have the Creator pack but since I’m joining @Jill_Francisco 's workshop this October, I believe the inclusions there should already have the creator pack. :sparkling_heart::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

So exciting! I would love to join :heart:

But the submission link is not working though

Oh my! Deciding which kit to reimagine is a tough one :thinking:

This is exciting! Brain is on imagination mode to come up with great ideas! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Wooooow what an amazing news :heart_eyes: all the members here will be excited on this, such a nice contest.

How nice … just to clarify. I can only customized one of the five kits as shown above ? @Robotime

Or i can modify any of the robotime kit ?

Thanks !

I’m excited to join and see the unique creation of each member of the community. :heart_eyes::pink_heart::pink_heart:

@Robotime oh i have a christmas build to do ! This is great ! :heart::heart::heart::folded_hands:

That looks adorable!!! I’m not playing this one, but I can’t wait to see all that everyone will make, it’s going to be amazing!

Excited to join this!

This is perfect timing for the upcoming holidays! I can’t wait to see everyone’s recreations! :heart:

@Robotime id love to join but the submission link is not working x

Would love to join this, I can’t work out how to get a creator pack though? I’m assuming it’s through the submissions link which doesn’t seem to work at the moment

my brain just gone mental, i don’t understand any of all of this

This is going to be so fun. Can’t wait.

I can’t wait to see what people make! This is going to be a fun contest.

I guess I am not understanding how we get a ‘customization Creator kit’ if we don’t have one. Can we customize in our own way?
