I finished my first custom earlier today. I finally got my Barney put together at a friend's house. Unoftunately, I shot off his effect card with a point blank missle, so I'll have to glue that back on, but I got some pictures of him before I shot it off. From the video contest, Barney was a bit scarred and the wax that I couldn't get off, I simply had to paint over. All in all though, now that I've repainted him, he looks great and I especially love the effect card.He's pretty tall compared to other figures, and very heavy (he's fat, and I molded him out of clay).
Barney:
Cost: 40 points
Attacktix Class: Leader
Faction: Barney and Friends
Base size: small (4cm)
Speed: 8, as of right now. I'll probably change it, but he has the same speed as the broken wicket that donated his base.
Special: Haven't decided yet
Effect (if you can't read it from the pic): Hug: Any of your opponent's figures that make contact with Barney or his base at the end of your turn may not move or attack on your opponent's next turn. You may not "hug" the same figure for two turns in a row.
I decided to make him 40 points, even though he has a small base, because he is ultra heavy (he has fat thighs too, so most of the weight is in his lower half), he is very balanced, and he is all but impervious to missles, both big and small, except for a very literally point blank shot to his head, hands, or tail. A point blank shot to a hand or tail (if placed right) can take him out sometimes because he'll spin. It doesn't always work though.What I like about him is his effect (he's my first effect figure too). He can completely immobilize one (or more) of your opponents figures for a turn. In addition, his tail and arms make it easier for him to touch several figures at once. He's going to need a higher speed though, since he doesn't have a direct attack and his effect require figure contact. I'm thinking about twelve tix would be a good speed for him. Overall, he was a fun figure to make, and as soon as I get an opportunity to glue his effect back on (I need to borrow a hot glue gun), then I'll probably actually play some games with him.
