Write a book review and win 3D figurines of your family

Mumsnetters don't just impart sound advice on the talk boards - they do it in our reviews section, too. So, we're running a new Review of the Month competition to highlight the best reviews on there.

For January's competition, we've teamed up with Levavo to give one lucky Mumsnetter and her family the exciting opportunity to win a 3D colour scaled model set of themselves. Photographs are taken in their studio, which a high-tech printer then turns into minuature versions of you that will be ready a few days later. Pretty cool huh?

All you have to do to enter is post a review of a book then tell us your name and address here. It can be a review of a book we already have listed, or something new. We'll choose the one we think is most useful, and hey presto, we have a winner. What are you waiting for?

Best of luck,
MNHQ

Bump!

Nerfmother · 01/02/2014 14:36

Have I won yet? I've had a new haircut and everything. Wink

CormoranStrike · 28/01/2014 22:36

Oh, I didn't realise my review had to be good, I just thout I had to be in it to win it. Sad

LemonMousse · 28/01/2014 21:42

I can't even stand looking at photos of myself - I always look deranged or drunk (or both). A 3D model would be quite terrifying!

Shame really, as my book review would undoubtedly have won hands down Wink

3D figurines of foetuses? I also need brain bleach!

There's a reason why women don't have transparent abdomens...

Theimpossiblegirl · 26/01/2014 18:56

Oh my God, so if I win they will come to life and kill us? That is not a very good prize at all!

I would still risk it though. Grin

I read a book years ago where there was a family living in a big old house, and they had a little dolls house that was the same as their house, with little wooden versions of all the family members in it. One day the little figures started to come to life, and as they got livelier, the real people became more and more wooden. Then one of the real people was murdered, and the wooden grandad doll had blood on its hands...

Just to cheer you all up and fire your enthusiasm... Grin

MmeLindor · 23/01/2014 22:53

Jesus. Rachel. That's just cruel.

There isn't enough mind bleach.

Nothing for it. I'll have to share it with all my friends so that they can also have nightmares

I take you don't watch the big bang theory.

As is evident from the mix of responses here, this idea does divide opinions. In the two previous competitions, we offered a Sue Ryder kitchen set and a year's subscription to a recipe service as prizes - we fancied doing something a bit different, that would get people talking, which this certainly has Wink

We realise it's not to everyone's taste, but wish the best of luck to those who have entered - some cracking reviews posted so far.

To those who are less enamoured with the idea, we'll leave you with this...

Wow. I cannot think of a stranger prize.

Nerfmother · 22/01/2014 18:21

I am thrilled! I keep giving it to people in a bid to find someone to talk to about it! Eliot is so well drawn. Thanks I have already made little beds for them

milk · 22/01/2014 15:16

Done :)

MrsRuffdiamond · 22/01/2014 13:04

Bahahahahaha! You know they come to life at night, don't you?

TheGirlWhoKickedTheVipersNest · 22/01/2014 10:59

Nerfmother I totally agree with you about The Greengage Summer - an elderly relative of mine accidentally took his copy to a charity shop while I was halfway through reading it and then forgot which branch it was in, so I had to scour all the charity shops in the local area to get it back again. You can keep the 3D figures though Wink

MuttonCadet · 21/01/2014 22:44

OMG! Brilliant, just brilliant, have you given up the gin and just started on the shrooms?

Nerfmother · 21/01/2014 18:46

Oooh I read the husbands secret and hated it; mum and dd loved it.
That is not my review btw. My review is of The Greengage Summer.
I really really want the figures. I am going to dress them up and stuff. I might switch dh for dds 1D figures

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 21/01/2014 12:47

But yes HQ what where you thinking?!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 21/01/2014 12:46

Mme, the skinny idea is GENIUS!

MmeLindor · 21/01/2014 11:56

Can they make me skinny? Then I will hang a sing around my skinnyme's neck that says STEP AWAY FROM THE CAKE

secretscwirrels · 21/01/2014 11:54

Is this the next thing to those hideous pictures of babies in plantpots?
Grotesque is the word that comes to mind.

MmeLindor · 21/01/2014 11:48

Seriously, Mumsnet? What were you thinking? They are the freakiest fucking thing.

Why would anyone want 3D versions of themselves? WHY?
