Giveaways
Grand Prize Giveaway
The Anime Day Grand Prize was the GX-88 Vehicle Voltron (Armored Fleet Dairugger XV) Collectible Set by Bandai. Congratulations to our winner, Dave F.!
Flash Giveaways
Flash Giveaways are quick, 15-minute contests held on Sideshow’s social media accounts. You have 15 minutes to follow the prompt given on the social post, and a winner will be selected from qualifying entries.
During Anime Day, we had three Flash Giveaways. Here are the prizes and winners.

Giveaway Challenges
Giveaway Challenges are contests held on the Crowdpurr platform at sideshow.live. A social post will go live directing you to Crowdpurr with a special hashtag and access code. Once the contest begins, you will have 30 minutes to complete the challenge described and submit your entry. A winner will be selected from qualifying entries, and all entries have the potential to be showcased in Sideshow’s wrap-up livestreams and blogs.
Jack C. won the Anime Day 2021 Giveaway Challenge for the Ultraman Suit (Anime Version) Sixth Scale Figure by Threezero. Below is his winning entry, plus some of our other favorite cobbled helmets.
