Hello everyone, I love making toys better than they originally came from the company. I have never posted any of my work but figured I would give it a shot. This started out life as a Power Armor Doc Ock from the new spiderman 3 3/4 line. The general figure itself didnt have too bad of a paint job so I left him alone but the tentacles where horrible so I modified them very heavily.
I took off the back pack and cut all the tentacles off. I then cut them into sections in order to be able to get a pose that i wanted and drilled guide holes in them and used little bits of paper clip in the middle of the tentacles to help hold the sections together once I glued them. I then sprayed the limbs with primer and then painted them with gunmetal silver. I origanly designed it so that he could stand on his own with out any support, which worked great in my cold ass garage where my workshop is but as soon as I took him upstairs the ultra soft plastic of the limbs started to get soft and he started to droop so I created a custom base for him. Here is what it started out looking like. I did take these pics from online sources because I did not take any pictures before I started cutting it up. Here are the pics of the finished piece, please excuse the pictures. The best lighting in the house is at my work area and well I didnt feel like cleaning it up. I also am not the best photographer. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking :-D |

That is very nice. I often forget there are 1/18th Doc Ock's out there. There's nothing cooler in toydom than when a good customizer spins turd into gold.

i love how you did these arms. Its strange how the original had 8 arms plus the 2 arms and 2 legs of the figure itself, octopus only have 8 not 12 lol.. So bad ass job you did making it more accurate. That little stand is killer to to hold him in that pose. Reminds me of the scene in the spiderman movie when he comes walking in on those arms at the coffee shop lol.. Awesome job man ...
