Kotaku Shop Contest: Kojima's Body: The Winners

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

The helmeted skull logo of Kojima Productions may have an official body now, but the unofficial ones created by our readers for last week’s ‘Shop Contest are much, much cooler.

The official look revealed by Hideo Kojima earlier this week is nice and all, if you’re into the puffy, Doctor Who Silence in the Library sort of look.

Still, I prefer what our readers did both before and after they had something official to go on. Like this week’s overall winner, Shigmaya64, who rushed out an entry based on a classic Disney short and won the hearts and stars of the community.

But Shigmaya64's Skeleton Dance was but one of a metric ton of entries. I’m going to highlight what I felt were the top 20 or so here, but I urge you all to hit up the original ‘Shop Contest post and go through all of the entries. There are so many good ones. I went through and starred as many as possible there, so if you see a favorite there, drop it into a comment here to share with the group.

This Week’s Top 20, Not Counting The One We Already Put At The Top Of The Post. This Is A Really Long Subheading.
