Name the Newsletter! and Other Contests


RTM is about to launch an email newsletter - but we still need a name for it!

From October 1st to the 14th (midnight, Eastern time), we'll be accepting suggestions via email for the newsletter. A small "panel of judges" will chose a winner the week of the 15th, and the winner will be able to choose from a list of prizes, including:


  • Preview version STAP with Battle Droid
  • Anime version Warrior Nun Areala (black outfit)
  • Flash & Green Lantern fast food toys (from the Jack in the Box first series of DC figures.)
  • Toy Fair 2001 Shrek exclusive figure (polybagged with header card)

More prizes may be added as the deadline draws near. You may enter as many times as you like, and may also enter more than one suggested name per email. (If you are under 13, please have a parent or older sibling submit your entry for you.)

Send in your suggestion to enter!
