C.O.M.B.A.T. (Charitable Organization Mobile Battle Android Trooper)

Welcome to version 2 of OG13’s charity figure drive. This year, we will be donating all profits to a single OGer in need, who will be revealed at the end of this endeavour. 100% of the figures, accessories, casting, molds, paint, labels, money, and time came directly from our charity crew. This was 100% OGer funded and driven!

It’s my honor to present this year’s recipent of the 2014, umm, ish Charity Figure fund raising.

This gentleman is a great member of the OG13 family and a wonderful family man in real life as well. He is a customizer of many skills and leads one of our customs groups. Without going into detail of what happened to him, and just saying that when the discussions of who should we show our gratitude to and spread some cheer, one name came up first, often and was a easy decision for us.

We were going to present him this gift at Joecon but decided he could use the funds for Joecon expenses. We will be presenting him with the C.O.M.B.A.T. Charity figure, #1 of 50, during our time at this years Joecon.

So without any further rambling……..2014-ish Award goes to:

Miguel “Jpnx” Rios……..

Congratulations from us and thank you for being a part of our OG13 family!

The Medd Project by Angel Forge

 Charity, News  Comments Off on The Medd Project by Angel Forge
Mar 142015
 

Our good friends at AngelForge have let us know about an opportunity to help lift the spirits of a really, really great human being who has been a longstanding pillar of the community, and can really use some positivism in his life.

From XOC2008:

“You guys know Meddatron, and he’s had some major health things come up lately. I don’t want to say more than that, because it’s not my place, but I wanted to add that what we do I guarantee will be appreciated for a long time to come. And sure, he may see this post, so be it.

You guys have your charity thing, and this isn’t really that. Some of us at Angelforge and an the 118th (so far) are going in on a group project for Medd. It doesn’t have to be strictly customs, though a lot of us are working on stuff like that. If you want to participate, feel free to join AF’s forum if you haven’t, and come to the thread here: http://theangelforge.vbulletin.net/f…e-medd-project.

Even if you can’t actively participate but have some ideas that you might want to toss our way, we’d appreciate it. Thanks!

If you get a chance, click through the URL below and see if you are inspired. Meddatron is seriously one of the great ones.

Squadron of Hope: Helping Tammie

From the desk of: Vegabond/Vega Customz

“Squadron of Hope. Why are we doing this? Many people in the action figure collecting and customizing community know Mike Samsel, also known as “Bricks“. Mike’s sister, Tammie, was recently found unresponsive. She suffered significant brain damage and was taken off of life support last week. Unfortunately she has no life or health insurance, so her medical expenses will need to be paid out of pocket by her family.

Several customizers have come together to form Squadron of Hope. We are auctioning custom action figures and vehicles to raise money to help pay for Tammie’s medical expenses. Every penny raised will go directly to Mike to help the family through this tough time. Please click on our events tab, and bid on whatever you like, and know it will go to a good cause.

CHARITY: Wounded Warrior – H.i.S.S. GMR Tank (by SB Cobra)

Customs (use this one)

From the generous mind of SB Cobra:

“This is pretty straight forward. I put this up for auction/sale and %65 goes to the WWProject directly, %15 to cover shipping and fee’s, and the rest gets rolled over into buying another vehicle to keep building ’em 6-8weeks in rotation so I can keep giving to charity; specifically to Wounded Warrior and Ride to Recovery. These are two programs aimed to help out warfighter’s in their times of need. I can personally say that both are GREAT groups and charities that help more than can be expressed. They’ve helped me before, so now I’m doing what I can to give back.”

SPOTLIGHT: Charity Project: Mexico Outreach

CharitiesAs you may, or may not know, WifeofBH666 recently lost her job. Unfortunately, Beachhead666 lost his job several months before her, leaving them, and their daughter, without work at all.

Under normal circumstances, you might expect them to ask for assistance for themselves, but they are not. WifeofBH666 previously committed to going to a Mexican Outreach program through her church while she was still employed, as she could have afforded to pay to get there and back. Now that she is not working, she is asking for assistance to complete her own charitable obligations. So if we help her, we help others.

This is about helping a community in a country that can’t even afford to feed its own people. I’ve spent so much time in Mexico, and know how hard it is living on a $5 a DAY minimum wage.

From the church:
http://www.christtherock.org/get-connected/outreach

“Mexico – Next trip: December 26 – January 2 (sign-up by October 1, cost is $450 per individual)
Over the past 10 years, we have sent over 800 people on short term mission trips. We were able to put up soccer goals, basketball hoops, swing sets, perform skits/dramas, offer children’s programs, support Pastor Juan, and mostly bring hope to the community.“

UPDATE: We are about $100.00 from meeting our goal of $400.00! You guys are awesome. If anyone is interested in buying a MoC 25th and up collection from Viper6, he has offered to donate the last $100 needed! See inside for details.

OG13: 2013 Charity Event – Revealed!!

 News  Comments Off on OG13: 2013 Charity Event – Revealed!!
Aug 112013
 

As I mentioned before, recently, the senior staff members of OG13 found out that a couple of fellow members of OG13 were recovering from some life-altering events and we wanted to come up with a way to bring the whole community together to share support for these members (and the community) in general.

To accommodate this, we did:
– Customs Auctions
– Two Charity Raffles
– The official OG13 Custom Trooper (MoC)

And now, for the big reveal. We are not going to go into the details of what happened in these OGers life, as it is up to them to decide what they want shared on an Internet forum! They both absolutely deserved the assistance, and through the help of SO MANY of our amazing users, today, we split $1500.00 in half and sent $750 each to Serpiente Blanca and Dawbanger.

Thank you to ALL of you for making this happen. The outpouring of support was just incredible.  I am really, really proud of all of you!

Full disclosure: We have ANOTHER $500.00, as we raised just over $2000.00 overall, but we are using that $500.00 for shipping everyone’s figures to them. Whatever remains will go to two charities, unless we put it towards a 2nd run of the exclusive figures.

This is a really big list of the contributors, which includes everyone that donated their time, their money, their customs, their product, their efforts, etc… It is not a list of those who bought the figures, but those who gave up something for nothing (in many cases a LOT of something) in order to make this charity event possible. If I missed your name on the list, PLEASE let me know and I will add you.

EXCLUSIVE: OG13 Trooper Figure (for Charity)

 Customs, News, Spotlight  Comments Off on EXCLUSIVE: OG13 Trooper Figure (for Charity)
Jul 252013
 

Charities

Recently, the senior staff members of OG13 found out that a couple of fellow members of OG13 were recovering from some life altering events and we wanted to come up with a way to bring the whole community together to share support for these members (and the community) in general. In addition to the custom auctions, and the two charity raffles, we decided on making an official OG13 Custom Trooper and sell a limited number of these figures to raise money to help ease the burdens our friends have suffered. We hope to continue this venture on a yearly basis, and this year it is all about our members, because without your support, we would never be where we are today! Yo G13!

As of 7/23, we have all 50 of the figures made, but only 6 of the cards/bubbles have been sent. We are waiting on mocJoes to complete the order of the cards.

Pre-orders have been fast and furious, so we have around 24 of the 50 left for sale.

  • 100% of the profits go to 2 OGers in need.
  • We will reveal both, as well as the exact amount of money raised/sent, at the end of this project.
  • We will provide a full list of sponsors, contributors, and participants.
  • The exclusives will be shipped AS the cards are received by mocJOES (theProcess). If you order, expect a wait as the cards are manufactured. If you cannot wait, or are the type to complain about the wait, then true charity might not be your reason for ordering!
  • All figures will be hand numbered, 1/50, 12/50, etc.

Here are ACTUAL shots of the exclusive figure and packaging:

And here is a huge thank you to all that participated in the making of this figure, and to all that donated their own figures, time, talent, money, and patience, to make this happen. If we missed anyone (and probably did), please let us know!
