Yes, space. Vulture may stay too.

Sandman is space hog, wish someone would do a smaller version of him. Maybe like the Bowen design/pose.

Kraven is just bad.

Mysterio was never a favorite character, although I can't really see someone doing it better. The smoke could have been a little better.

That Bowen Sandman is still amazing after so many years!

It seems like this is more about the base than it is Doc Ock. I did order this one but it’s another space hog for sure . The tentacles seemed very short in length for a character that is recognized by his main feature the tentacle . Not sure I love this one....

Good point on the tentacle length... or maybe because it's too thick it gives the illusion its shorter?

Short tentacles: Depends on comic you look at -

Longer here:

Original appearance they are short:

Just my 2¢ but I think they "vary" in length, retract and extend as needed. {shrug}

Overall size is very close to the SS Spider-man comiquette.
Prob going to look very nice together.

In assembly video, he looks perfect.
Pricewise I wish, they included also one tentacle switch-out.
His jacket is beautiful and dynamic, can't wait.

(Did not expect, whole body including tentacles is hanging on just one small pin).

He answered the following on FB:

"My suggestion is maybe need someone to help to assemble the upper left tentacle. The difficulty I faced is the contact point of tentacle and body is very tight. Meanwhile you need to put the claw in the right place. You have to do both action in the same time (insert tentacle into the body and insert the claw into tentacle).

When you done everything. It would be a phenomenal statue in your collection. It's one of my favorite pieces now. XM Thanos and Lady Death no doubt is the best set this year in my opinion. However, I personally love Dr Octopus more. "

The official unboxing has beautiful reflecting glasses and black rim.
It does not have the tiny spider-man picture in it, luckily.

Just found the posted pictures at facebook.
They painted the reflecting spot in glasses, silver/white quite large (at least 30% of the area). Hope it look good in person.

The bottom right tentacle is still not touching the building as it should (all 3 ppl who posted today with in hand pics).
Other than that it looks great!

Well after what seems to be ages I finally received Otto Octavius and rest assured Spider freaks he’s pretty awesome . Paint apps were flawless and the overall size make this statue very large and imposing . It’s def one of the best in the line but some quirks that bothered me on this :

1. The money bag magnet was very weak and it barely is hanging onto tentacle . I have no way to fix this as it was manufactured this way . I never liked the bag and wished this could have been swapped out for plain tentacle claw. It would have been easy to do .

2. This is def a concern with engineering of the top left claw. I have zero doubt that many collectors will break the claw fingers on this tentacle due to it being needed to twist ever so slightly while the tentacle is inserted at the same time ( btw it was super tight going into his back which added to problem ) . It’s poorest design on the piece . Some of the other tentacles are a little finicky but hold well but that upper left is a pain in the ass so be careful .

3. The classic head imo is terrible . It looks like Elton John and the hair paint app is poor and super smooth design or lack of movement makes it look cheap . The modern is excellent and that’s the one I wanted anyways

Aside from these observations the details in building are outstanding . It’s criminal I can’t see the back . All the moulding , mildew on concrete , cracks , broken glass adds to the weathered feel of this . If you want to conserve space , this is not for you . It’s huge and heavy as f—k!

Imo it’s probably one of the best in the line . I still feel like scorpion is better but I use that loosely as both are perfect renditions of the respective characters . I have mine with XM Vulture I feel like they pair amazing together . Happy 2021 fellow collectors . Stay safe and let’s have a better 2021. We all deserve it!

I think it looks good. Saying that as someone who never liked the coat. It worked in the one movie but I never liked it otherwise.

I also like the classic head. The bowl cut is classic Doctor Octopus for me. But I really like the shades on the modern head.

My only complaint about this piece is Doc Oc is floating or flying or hovering because his arms mostly aren’t touching anything. I guess the one top claw is kinda gripping something. I know he keys in somehow, but he has the illusion of just floating.

Got it pal and yes I am . His name is Homer. I see concerns on floating aspect but honestly one arm is all he would need to prop himself up . The statue is well done . I think the engineering they ran into problems figuring out these arms for the very reason we talk about them .

I will not hold my breath for SS to make villains it’s ridiculous in all these years they still haven’t . This Doc Ock is a huge eye grabber and looks better than any photo I could take .

I would have loved the reflective glasses , the hair needs more detail on both portraits but aside from that it’s pretty outstanding

Something I also find odd is the tentacles are attached to a body brace fused into his spine . On this statue there is no indication of that apparatus under or over his suit. It’s like the tentacles come out of his flesh on the back . That part bothers me the most as it doesn’t make sense to me . Refer to pic below :

Yes, logically what you’re saying makes full sense, but it’s a typical depiction once he’s in an outfit you can’t tell it’s a harness. It’s “comic logic” rather than real world sensibility.

In Spider-Man 2 it’s very thin. You can just barely see it underneath his clothes here. For the rest of the movie they dressed him so you can’t really tell.

And after posting the classic Doc Oc pic above I see why I like the bowl cut and shades. I was just picking elements from both heads I prefer, not even considering he wore the bowl and shades together in the comics. The heads really are fine as is but my personal tweak is I would’ve liked the eyewear swapped on them. The shades are more classic and the goggles are more modern anyway. Very minor nitpick though.

Cool and thanks for the pics.
Nice personal review.
Vulture look perfect next to it.


Apart from the fact that the tentacles can not be 100% positioned same way with every statue (as supposed). Your statue is flawless indeed.
Saw two small concerns with some other ppl statues, which yours does not have.

Congrats, the modern portrait you like the most, is the best i've seen. I like both equally, but prob display classic one myself.

XM did a good job with the silver metal look of the tentacles. They used a bronze like weathering over the silver, which give it a perfect realistic look.
Plain silver can easily make a statue look cheap.
Also the color of the teeth (both heads) is very realistic. When I saw details like that with first inhand pics, it convinced me this is what I bought it for.

For the price, I wish it came with one switchout tentacle. Been a while receiving a large statue, can't wait.

Thanks for words friends. It’s such a cool piece . You can’t not notice it when you walk into a room . Gary I agree Electro was awesome but his massive base was set back for as it made dinner plate hard to place where I needed it . Same with Lizard. I really like villains with the brick rumble bases. It matches them more . Doc Ock, vulture , scorpion , venom , green goblin all have these it makes them more uniform .

Subby,
I just noticed one little Oopsie they had with yours.

It is not a 'flaw' but unique overlooked mistake. Do you want to hear it, or better not mentioning?

It is something they changed from proto to production.

Subby1938
12-30-2020, 11:59 AM
There are no mistakes . This is how XM wanted this pieces to look . No sense comparing production to prototype . There is only one prototype and they never promised us exact matches anyways .

I was under the impression no coins would be falling out of the bag.....

Halcyon
12-30-2020, 03:57 PM
There are no mistakes...

I am not talking about compairing proto to present outcome.

Look at your belt buckle (right side of coat).
Compare it with post799 from Grumpy (first picture/is also an inhand statue).

XM had this coat-strap buckle, first designed at right side and they changed it to the left side going in production.
They did this for overall look, so not having all the straps at one side and all buckles at other.

But yours got these buckles at both sides, right should be the strap and left the buckle.
So you have a unique one ;-)

Thanks for posting these great pictures guys; Doc Ock looks absolutely amazing!
Due to a lack of space I had to settle for the Doc Ock bust from Bowen Designs a long time ago and even though I really dig that bust, it is with all due respect not as awe-inspiring as this fantastic full size statue.:D

Congrats to every fan and collector who can add this statue to their collection! :buttrock:

It is something they changed from proto to production, but yours is still closer to proto.

I want to thank you for your keen eyes. I never noticed that and it’s major error but not end of the world . I brought it up to Todd and Ang they agreed they would help me get proper body . It’s def the old proto body type that was painted and shipped . They both assured me they would take care of this .

I guess this is why we post pictures and at first I was mad to be honest but after breathing lol it gave me opportunity to test out the customer care we hear so much about and both sellers responded with directions for me in zero time . Pretty amazing stuff !

Halcyon
12-30-2020, 08:18 PM
It was not my intention to ruin any mood.

Some ppl care, some leave it as is. Yours has perfect paintjob, so exchange is difficult decision.
The body doesn't have to fit some larger specific parts, so another body will fit on this wall also.
Maybe the tenticle will fit better as well. Good luck.

I don't know Gary, this looks scalewise perfect to me.

He does not take more than hulk or Hulkbuster or so many others I could name off. I like the idea being able to stagger displays at diff heights as I don’t have mine inside cabinets . Statues like Lizard and Electro I sold the giant dinner plate base I found more awkward to make them work with other pieces. You can’t force a circle to be anything but a circle so I said goodbye.

GaryTonge
01-01-2021, 06:12 PM
Vulture is a great piece, especially in his top position, which is where I think it looks best. Very underrated and one of the best in this line.

TBH, the only two that I wasn't a fan of were Sandman(just too big) and Kraven(just didn't like it). I'm not a fan of the upcoming Green Goblin either. It just looks really lack luster to me.

I'm hoping for a Hobgoblin and Symbiote Spidey. Those should complete my Spidey collection.

Subby1938
01-01-2021, 07:06 PM
I def want both of those . The green goblin is best licensed goblin we have so I grabbed him . I don’t mind OG premium format tbh I’m in market for a new Carnage and smaller foot print electro . Kraven and sandman I agree were a bust!

We as in owners . Not everyone posts pictures here some on Facebook I know most of the guys who have received them . Your assessment is correct but not easily achieved because of the fragility of the claws and difficulty getting them into place . Collectors are content not breaking them just for the sake of making it fit or maybe there is a trick to do it . I’m not sure but my bottom claw def does not touch in three places like the top

So to be clear, your statement was unsubstantiated.

Btw, the bottom claw on mine looks just like the correct pics that I posted. Cheers!

It was not my intention to ruin any mood.

Some ppl care, some leave it as is. Yours has perfect paintjob, so exchange is difficult decision.
The body doesn't have to fit some larger specific parts, so another body will fit on this wall also.
Maybe the tenticle will fit better as well. Good luck.

I got lucky with mine. No issues with paint, tentacles, claws, or BUCKLES. :thumbs2:

BOTH THE TOP RIGHT [from viewers perspective] & BOTTOM LEFT TENTACLES ARE GRABBING THE STRUCTURE.

THAT IS PRECISELY WHY THE CRACKS ARE WHERE THEY ARE!

I see you’re very excited and passionate about this.

In any case, thanks for the explanation. Since my comment I’ve see in other photos the correct placement of the tentacles, but when I made my comment I was only going by the photos that I saw. Hence my comment, which was an observation based on what was provided, not an argument or complaint for complaint’s sake.

Just as before, I’m glad this turned out well. I wasn’t a fan of this statue but seeing y’all display it now in hand, it’s looking good (and still on my behalf, no regrets whatsoever, but congrats to all y’all).

No need to be defensive. It was an understandable mistake.

This thread was in need of a CORRECTION given all the misguided posts about Doc Oc “floating” and Doc Oc’s tentacles not “grabbing” or “touching” the Building.

Im very happy with the engineering and blessed to get one in perfect condition (no paint issues or extra buckles, etc.).

I def want both of those . The green goblin is best licensed goblin we have so I grabbed him . I don’t mind OG premium format tbh I’m in market for a new Carnage and smaller foot print electro . Kraven and sandman I agree were a bust!

Apparently a new Carnage is coming. The only one I’ve liked is Sideshow’s PF and for whatever reason I never got it so I’m curious to see what XM will do this go round.

I def would like a better Carnage . I sold my XM piece something off about it , a new Venom not sold yet because I like first XM version

The first carnage had a great head sculpt but I agree skin was bad and the feet bothered me as much as bland base. He seemed tiny next to Venom I hope they scale these properly

NorthernLadMSP
01-03-2021, 12:28 AM
Yeah, I agree scale was an issue on the two originals. It's also something XM struggles with quite a bit. We know the K. Bros. are doing Venom, hopefully they'll be doing Carnage too to make them more cohesive.

You’re list is the same as mine! Lol. I have a bunch of 1/4 Spideys including Miles and the only villain I have is Rhino Comiquette Ex...speaking of, I think I’m keeping that over XM’s. The XM looks good but I just like the basic, classic Rhino.

I’d wait for Venom. We just don’t know what we’re going to get.

Almost all ppl who have posted pics/vids, this lower tentacle does not fully grab the building.
So I guess that XM/factory did not improve this aspect, bcs some of first proto pics had this problem too.

How much tension do your two claws have against the building? Loose/mild/perfect or tight?

Sideshow made Taskmaster, surely they can make Spidey villains that are equal or higher profile such as Doc Oc, Hobgoblin, Mysterio, Morbius, Lizard, Electro, Vulture, Kraven. I’d even say Prowler at this point due to movies and video games (although it’s been Aaron Davis and not Hobie Brown). Even allies like Spider-Gwen, Silk and Noir. If they can make Throg and Kid Deadpool they can make Spider-Ham. They just choose not to make them.

Received Octopus three hours ago, glad XM has a stirdy inner box, bcs the shipper was heavily dented and punctured. XM-europe taped bubble wrap around the shipper box, so it would not go any further in transport to my home.

All parts are well packed, smaller items had good paperwrap and body plus base had combo of paper and plastic bags. Did not notice special weight, until I took out the base. Wow that one felt like a big concrete slab (weight of two normal statues)

Paint on these seem consistent, I have a higher edition no and is same as photos already posted. Parts got moisture due to temp diff, so will assemble tomorrow and take a closer look. I'm happy with it.

So clearly you’re here to stir up problems because I haven’t seen pictures from your end of ownership of Doc Ock . As for extra straps that’s directed to me and you know it . Guess what amigo you don’t need to worry about it. It’s my piece not yours I’m happy with it so maybe jog onto something different . I don’t know what defects you keep referring to . Most have issues placing claws and they all will fit with some patience but your lack of forum participation and consistent haggling reminds of a certain creature that lives under a bridge .....

Congrats Punisher that looks cool.
Did you have that spidey mask from other statue? or did you make that with clay and imagination.
It fits perfect in his hand.

I see your lowest strap is also fully bent by the tentacle with moneybag.
Mine already touched the strap when I still had the peg in front of the socket (not inserted yet), so i had to warm up the strap and then it gave room needed without breaking.

@ Halcyon: I also warmed the straps... the assambling was a horroshow... Anyway...
The mask I did fits to XM Mysterio hand (see my collection) and XM Doc Oc hand. I did one can be used for both statues ;-)

I am a fool of taking pictures but did some short pictures of team ups. Enjoy:

Hi Punisher2000,
Thanks for sharing these great pictures; they are truly awesome!
Doc Ock looks fantastic and I really like the Spiderman mask he is holding since it shows Peter has found more than his match in Mr Octavius. :D

Good stuff!

Hi Punisher,
Wow I see you improve all your statues, when you feel it is needed. I do the same but smaller tweaks bcs I don't have real skills at painting and sculpting.

I also made piece broken glass in my Spidey Comiquette.

Yes, assembling Doc Ock tentacles was a BIG challenge. Took me two days.

On my statue,
Two tentacles did not go in at all. Max 1/3 deep and feared something would break if pressed harder. One with moneybag also needs to fully bend the fourth jacket-strap out of the way. Very nice statue but design of tentacles should be much better.

I used a 'dremel tool' (small grinding stone) and removed 0.5mm from the flat area in two sockets.
Noticed the factory glued small plastic strips about 1mm thick in all four tentacle sockets (flat area only).
Still need to push with some force but now all tentacles are like they should. No gap or leaning.

Also be careful with the silver paint, i noticed it rubs off where you apply extra force with your fingers (even with clean hands).

Small trick to help other people with the upper claw (prongs). Unfortunately this did not fit at all either. So used a hairdryer and made the prongs flexible, then put claw in the tentacle and slightly bent one (or two) prongs in the concrete dent.
The two claws also have a lip to indicate which way the claw should go. But this also prevent easy installing, so I removed these also with dremel (saw).

Considered to drill all the holes in the jacket straps, so you could look through them. Would be nice, but unfortunately the applied dents are not lined up at both sides of strap. So did not do this.

Small touch up on the paint here and there.
When fully assembled it is a beautiful statue indeed!

Have to adjust my shelves, Doc Ock is 1 inch to high for my spidey line up.

Got this piece in a few weeks ago. I was very impressed with it in person as photos don’t capture (every piece). Any way thought I’d share a pic.

Anyone Ock not key in fully? I know I can’t go deeper. His coat is in the way.

Oh you don't mean problem with the tentacles, but body of Ock against the wall (windowsill).


They made a vertical line in back-bulge of coat (vertical line, one side of metal peg has less resin) this should support/hook against the windowsill. So Ocks body doesn't rotate to much by itself.

My Ock body was a bit to wobbly so to make locking against building even better, I used dremmel tool to remove some excess resin (back-bulge coat). So end result was as designer had intended. Bit of brown paint / perfect.

Hope you know what i tried to explain (don't have pictures of it).

I think Doc Ock looks great holding Spidey's mask and feel you have an absolutely fantastic collection which you have displayed beautifully.

Good stuff! :buttrock:

Beautiful statues.

I thought Conan fury of the beast was reflection in window from a table.. but those cabinets must be quite large, when you fitted him next to The Prize.
I have those too, the Beast is such a bulky/heavy piece.

Nice!

I see that repainted Spidey Bronze on a different base. I love that statue because he has the pre-McFarlane symbol on his chest with all the arms pointing the same direction.

What is the large Spidey hanging on the wall on the left hand side? Looks like a larger version of the Comiquette which I see on the shelf below.

Thank you all for the kind words. Appreciate that!!

Mask: you got mail
Ideas by display: always happy to give you some ;-)
Conan Fury of the Beast: yes, quite tricky to place FotB and Conan the Price into one field but I found a way. The STUVA (by ikea) is deeper then the Besta (by ikea)
Repaint Spidey: yes, got this and one in original broze

http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150723/slofzh7y.jpg

Also Iron Man and Wolverine in Bronze. Nice trio.
Lage 1/2 scale Spiderman: got this for years now. The 1/2 scaled Spiderman got magnets and can be place at any magnatic wall or metal door or... you can find more pictures at my youtube cannel or at the COLLECTION CORNER
