This was easily my favorite pack. I was shocked when it didn't make it in, not even a Heavy pack, but if they do release the other ones as a second PC Pack I'm definitely hoping for you to win.
dude i fricken love this thing, i know the contest is over but i would of loved to see this in there i hate that, they did put this in lolz, but still grest work man and i hope it comes out soon
The 4 classes that they didn't include all had considerably high-quality submissions. (This being one of them.)
They said they would use some of the good updates later.
Here
"Out of the 70 or so entries that Valve received, Robin tells me that nearly half of the entries are of a high enough quality to be shipped in future updates without much work needed on Valve side. So, if you did not win this time around you can be confident that your items will one day find there way in to Team Fortress 2."
Thanks for nice comments guys I haven't completely lost the hope though, and i'm still getting the greentooth pin so im happy enough with that (although if i knew all i would get in the end would be a greentooth pin i probably wouldn't have wasted my time)
Are you gonna hold onto the models or will you release them as skins? People love your stuff so much it would be great to actually get to see them in our day to day game!
I can say without a doubt in my decayed mind that THIS WILL BE LIVE... I expect it for the 4th community release (after this update)... as it not only fits the heavy, follows the theme to a T and is of consistent AND high quality. but also because it is simply AWESOME!
I think they're just figuring out how to rig the double minigun and want to ship one Polycount Update relatively fast without worrying about that stuff. The next one should have this stuff in it, is my guess.
I have to agree with the others, there's no way this stuff is going to be left out. Awesome stuff, all of it.
And while we wait, maybe release them yourself as skins? The minigun probably won't work without some help from Valve, but the hat's cool even if it's never going to open and the shotgun would be great for all the classes who use it.
To be honest, and not an ass about this contest (your pack is my favorite hands down) I think making a secondary gun hurt your chances. They for some reason don't want people running about with secondary weapons.

I do it anyway, nobody expects a shotgun heavy. But that statement is flawed take the scout pack that won. Not a primary weapon in sight.

But a shotgun Heavy doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of killing another Heavy using Sasha or Natascha. Unless of course, they're an awful Heavy.
So Buck...are you by chance going to release these weapons as a skin pack? because..ya know...that would be totally awesome and stuff...especially the bulwark! ☺
You cannot make two items for the same slot in this contest, and the Milk is a Bonk replacement. I think Valve will make the pistol a primary weapon.
EDIT: I love goin' shotgun Heavy as well. He along with the engineer have the fastest reload rate!
It wouldn't make sense for a pistol to be a primary honestly. The Milk is obviously a Bonk Replacement as with the Short Stop being a Pistol replacement. The rules were broken yet it was still a winner. I guess I should say "Valve knows best" like everyone else is, eh?
We don't exactly know what stats the short stop will have. It may very well be good enough to be a primary.
Considering it was a pistol skin and was demonstrated as a secondary I think it's pretty safe to assume it was a secondary also. Besides, 2 pistols at once seems a bit odd.

Shotgun only has viewmodel for the heavy and all classes share the same world model.
I guess i can release the helmet though, even if it doesnt flip.
The Shotgun world model is an acceptable 'corruption'; although I think you can hack it (see seperate Sasha/Natasha skins).

Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying, and let's not post any more off topic nonsense in Bucks awesome thread.
