i know attacktixman said he was making the new brotherhood too, is anyone else?
I am going to make at least blob and avalanche.
attacktixman; you said you were using figures from Hardee's right? do you have pics of those because i have never seen nor heard of them.
I had just planned to sculpt my figures.

I'm intrigued, what will you make the Blob from/with. An interesting character and a member of a couple formations of the brotherhood, but I wondered:
a. How he would attack and
b. How he could be the right size and still be able to be knocked over.
Please share your plans. Avalanche is a good one. A bit more classic, but the Silver Samurai was one I thought about doing as well, and a mini Sentinel would be a nice 10 pointer for the brotherhood as Magneto could certainly use one of those to shield himself at the Robots expense when his special is triggered (like the old x-men arcade).
Anyway that's my two bits.

Whizkid made a custom out of Commando, check his custom thread. I made Commando too, but with a smaller blaster so he would balance better. There are some reasonably, well not outrageous, priced ones on eBay right now. Wow, if you can sculpt Blob and Avalanche from scratch, I'd love to see it! |

wow! those figures are neat! I may want to use that avalanche figure after all. But i hate the blob figure included in that set. and i didnt realize that the attacktix had to be knocked over.  Seriously, I dont know any of the rules or how to play.All i know is that I like the style of them. I plan to strictly display them. |

If you wish to only display them, then don't worry abou the mechanics of the game itself. In fact it will make doing a custom all the more easier if you're only doing it for display purposes only. Good luck with that blob figure. If done right he would be lots of fun to play with. ;D

yeah, well even though they are for display only, I would still really like to make them as close to the real things as possible. So i will try to add the attack mechanisms.
And if blob wasnt able to be knocked over by the launchers, wouldnt that be true to the comics as well? and he would still be able to be knocked down by the swinging attacktix

No sweat on Blob. In fact, I'm glad he's in a crouching position cause I'm making a device that's gonna launch his big fat body into opposing Tix. Blob Drop Smash - which he's done several times in the comics. And he won't be too hard to knock over cause I'll raise him up high enough on the Tix base that his CoG will allow him to topple over the base. The only fig I won't be using from the Hardee's is Wolverine.

"New" Mystique is done. Pretty hot, if I do say so myself. Brendonginn commented that the skull skirt is too short...
Next up is Avalanche, pretty straight forward, all the work is in mounting the launcher and making the rock blast missile.
Blob's launching device is proving to be a challenge making it small and compact enough to fit on a Tix base and still launch fat Freddy.

Sure, I really was hoping to take a group shot, but its gonna take a long time for the Blob Launcher, so I think I'll post up individual shots and follow up with the group shot when Fred Dukes is done.
