Super stoked that XM is finally taking on the Spidey line! Consider this already bought for me! With that, I would add a bit of constructive criticism: the gun doesn't fit the character and his gut is too large. Perhaps have his right hand reach out towards something rather than hold on to that gun.

I'm still in shock. EFFF YEAH!!!

I agree about the futuristic looking pistol, seems out of place for the character, his powerful tentacles or more than enough of a threat.

Looks amazing, but maybe change the following. Upper arms more dynamic and to the side. Just one arm to the ground for holding balance and the other holding something. Doc is not slim, but please reduce the waist a little bit. He is not so big.

Anything else great work. :thumbs2:

Seems to be a hybrid movie/comic version. The one thing is say at his stage is that he is a scientist not a weight lifter. I'd tone down the biceps. Also think a long coat would be better for the character. Pose looks great but drop the gun.c

Let the Spidey-fest begin. I expect lots of awesome villians.

But Doc looks like he has arms like Thor. I'm pretty sure that's not accurate.

I also think the arms (mechanical) would look better with some movement and depth. Forward and back to give a real moving effect. Too static, but REALLY well designed.

The tentacles need to "Swirl" more.

The pose needs to be more dynamic. Make him look like he's reaching forward to grab somebody using his right hand.

If possible, use the bottom two tentacles to support the whole statue. In other words, make Dr. Octopus suspended by the bottom two tentacles.

A change of head with sunglasses...not goggle.

The head needs more expression. I prefer him to have a grin or show some teeth.

And...I am done.

BTW, I don't think he's too fat. Not all villians are body builders.

This is really going to be tough competition, as the Spider-man license is one that SS does very well. I think SS is going with very dynamic poses for their new line so it's going to be very interesting to compare character to character and I can't wait!

You are right, the SS pieces are great, but SS has also never taken a chance on other characters. They have multiple spideys, a green goblin and hobgoblin, and the symbiotes. Thats it really. Most not in true 1/4th either.

Folks have been hounding them for a Sinister Six forever. Now XM gonna step to the plate. I need me some Mysterio, Shocker, and Venom

I don't need the gun, but I expect that would just be a switch out.

Holding a spiderman mask would be cool.

I prefer a more classic look to doc Ock. I would like to see feet off the floor, no muscles, just tubby.

I'm 100% in to purchase this piece as is and would likely be down for whatever adjustments are made. These are my thoughts on the critiques and suggestions so far:

-I like the muscular arms and I think people forget how idealized these characters were even back in the day
http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130921055322/marveldatabase/images/6/64/Amazing_Spider-Man_Vol_1_158_Variant.jpg

-The pot belly might be a bit excessive, might be

-Not a fan of the gun, a switch out fist would be preferred

-It could be more dynamic overall. I think a pose where Doc Oc is adhered to a wall and facing outward (a la the SS Spiderman Comiquette), with maybe an arm or 2 on the ground for support would put this on par with your magneto. Imagine the following image with the top 2 arms turned around and gripping/breaking a brick wall and Doc Oc himself preparing a punch.

The overall pose definitely has to be more dynamic. As for his "lifted from the ground" suggestion, I'm all for it if it can be done. It might be difficult though considering how XM doesn't hollow out their statues. The two tentacles on the bottom won't be able to hold up the rest of the statue.

Woohoo, finally! was hoping this wasn't gonna be sidetracked / halted by the recent SS announcement. Glad its all still going ahead.

Seems to be a hybrid movie/comic version. The one thing is say at his stage is that he is a scientist not a weight lifter. I'd tone down the biceps. Also think a long coat would be better for the character. Pose looks great but drop the gun.c

Yeah, maybe even a lab coat rather than just a coat.

Agreed on the toning down of muscles and belly.

Was really hoping this would have had him off the ground. That's my biggest thing with this. I just don't picture him walking on the floor at all but rather nonchalantly hanging in mid air whilst his tentacles did all the hard work.

Wish they were a bit longer too cos, when I picture Doc vs Spidey it's always those comic book pages (larsen I think) where they were really long and sidey was having to do some major weaving in and out. That for me was spidey vs doc at its best. but I understand the restrictions and i guess you could say that they are coiled up like a slinky.

Gun doesn't seem completely in line with the character to me. Each to his own though. Guess it could be a SO.

As for the pose I would prefer maybe with slighlty more movement in, the tentacles should look like they are ready to strike (like a snake) and maybe he could be leaning forward.

Will be interesting to see how this all pans out against the SS pieces. This will be hard to beat.

Another knockout in the making.

marker2037
01-07-2015, 04:39 PM
Decent start.

I agree with a lot of the comments so far: His gut is too fat, his muscles are way too pronounced as he needs to be "chubby", I don't like the gun, his tentacles aren't positioned great (if he's standing on the ground then why does he need the other 2 tentacles also on the ground? Seems like a waste, have his feet in the air or his tentacles in the air. Also his vertical tentacles could use some better positioning).

Not a bad overall design though.

For me this pic is a example for a epic pose for a XM statue. Four mechanical arms tread down to support the weight of the statue.

I was hoping for pose where his two bottom tentacles was lifting him up so as his feet were floating but this is cool and also wish the top two were out more instead if straight up looks too symmetrical would be cool if you could manipulate like wolf predator whip but understand the challenges ! Looks great though so far ....

posable tentacle please, w/ an aluminum finish.

nexus
01-07-2015, 06:49 PM
Overall I think this is a great start.

Just my thoughts:
1. Not as fat, he almost looks pregnant. Muscle definition could also be toned down.
2. Agree the machine gun doesn't fit the character. The tentacles are the weapons. One of those could be wielding a gun. His hands would likely be holding whatever look he might have stolen. Or could be balled in fists ready to fight Spidey.
3. The two top tentacles could each be doing something different with a swap-out.
4a. One option could be that he's just broken into a bank so there. So the rubble theme base would make sense. He could be making off with bags of money
4b. A second option could be science themed. He could either have broken in and stolen technology and materials. Or if the floor were a lab instead of rubble he could be conducting an experiment (he is a mad scientist after all)
5. Needs more of a "bowl" haircut.
6. Swap-out portraits with sunglasses and high-tech goggles.
7. Ideally tentacles should be supporting him, or at least that should be the illusion as opposed to him standing on the rubble base.

That's what I said above or even of bottom were fixed make the top two poseable and you have support on bottom and flexibility and customization on top to collectors preference up in the air aiming at foe or placed strategically so that they are close to spiderman head to make a diorama look??? Huh? What do you think about that??

Not feeling the idea of posable arms. I'd sooner opt for switch out-arms than that.

DynamicMenace
01-07-2015, 07:47 PM
pretty cool. but yet again, the head seems to be a bit too small. thats def something that needs to be corrected. and i agree, i think he should be up off the base and only being supported by his tentacles.
at least only have one foot connected to the base. and mix up the positions of the tentacles. have each one in a different place/position to give it more of an appearance that they have a mind of their own and are doing different things. the gun reminds me of the old ToyBiz 10" action figure. i think that had one.. id def loos it. considering the arms are based on what they were in Spiderman 2, give Doc Oc some trinnium.

crazytoynut
01-07-2015, 08:28 PM
Doubt tentacles supporting a floating body is practical, considering leaning and balancing issues. If he's just standing, might as well have them tentacles all up in the air.

His body frame looks weird, muscular top half torso but pot belly at bottom, reminds me of E Honda.

Also not liking the tentacles rectangular-ish shapes, prefer round ones like comics.

01-07-2015, 08:35 PM

I like what I see so far. Being the comic guy I am of course I have my own preferences, I mostly prefer designs closer to the comics.

- tentacle shape isn't a killer but I prefer rounded tentacles form the comics

- harness hidden underneath his clothes

- tentacle poses are too symetrical, would like to see them varied a bit and more aggressive.

- the pose slightly altered to be more aggressive...lean him forward a bit to give him movement, like he's going towards something...Doc Oc is a goal driven man, let's see that reflected.

- his deal is the tentacles, he doesn't need a gun.

- take a bit off his belly

Overall good start for the new sculptor David P. and for us!

overall looks pretty awesome, I like the pose and the base the arms look sick as hell

things I would look at:
- he appears to have a power lifters physique? there should be slightly less definition especially in the serratus area. you cant have a belly like that and visible serratus muscles
- boots look a little bulky to me
- I don't see the need for a gun but if its included as a switch out that's always nice to have options

I agree about the tentacle shape, I'd much prefer the more comic book cylindrical look than a straight up copy of the huge arms from Raimi's Spiderman 2, the look of the arms sneaked in the latest Spiderman movie had an excellent design.

While this IS a great concept I think there is a lot there that is a VERY specific to a stand alone statue that isn't necessarily meant to fit in with a "line" of statues, and if there is one thing that XM has proven with it's bases and general concept designs is that their "lines" are meant to go together, and compliment each other. I have a feeling that when we see this ENTIRE line together we are going to be seeing the threat aimed DIRECTLY at Spiderman. Not just a bunch of villains posturing.

Too be fair, this is very much a dynamic pose and base he drew up. The base pieces could be swapped out for whatever theme necessary. And Doc Oc actually would posture a lot while his arms did the work. I could see this as a pose of him climbing over rubble in a battle to get at spidey while he had the upper hand. His showmanship and ego would show through, this is generally where Spidey could turn the battle.

Thanks for your answers. I wanted to draw what we all want for a villain as doc oc, a dynamic pose using all their arms. Spidey976 the base that I have proposed is just an idea, but I think it is clear what we seek with this character.

I think it is clear what some seek for this character not what "we" all want to see. I myself Like the current pose, but I would like the arms to have more of a sense of motion to them. I might tweak Ocks gutt in a bit and maybe bring his upper body forward a bit to give this more movement, BUT I also would like to see how all of the pieces are meant to fit together BEFORE I made a call on that kind of change. Acme your sketch is a SOLID design and I like it a lot. I am just saying that right now I personally would like to see more of the big picture before I made to much of a comment on the design.

Keep up the awesome work, David! :buttrock:

You're already crushing this piece. I can't wait to see what your tinkering to it brings next :)

Great work!

Great job so far, David! Looking forward to seeing how you tweak the initial concept.

As would have all his weight supported by just the tentacles on the ground. I know it was done with smaller pieces, but was it ever done with a 1/4 piece?? That is a lot of weight.

I wouldn't be opposed to hollowing out the resin in Doc Ock a bit and shedding the weight in order for a lifted pose to work... even if it is against one of XM's code.

It's simply a matter of perspective. If XM does the posable arms route, hopefully it will be made from aluminum flex tube, which may enhance the overall 'feel' of the statue.

The gist is. Posable tentacles, if done correctly would compliment the statue. Think of it as the equivalent to change out parts, only more practical. Practical in the sense that the switch out parts are already attached, all you have to do is adjust them to your preference.

That's what I said pages back just do top two poseable! Also I have Wolf Predator Legendary Scale Figure and it has poseable whip and it adds so much to the presences of the collectible I don't think if you had two poseable tentacles it wouldn't make it feel less than statue! I think it would give it more power and presences but I understand people's concern....

if they made two or any of the arms poseable they would have to made of different material (obviously) but also more than likely would not be painted (molded in that color plastic) to prevent paint cracking. is that really what you guys want?

Posable tentacles are in the same level as light up features, IMO. What do you do once they break? Will you be able to fix it?

Also if two tentacles are sculpted and another two is posable, there's going to be color matching issues since the sculpted tentacles will need to match the unpainted posable tentacles. Although, I gotta say, XM might be able to pull it off. But it will add difficulty.

Exactly! Doc Ock's tentacles are a reflection of his villany. If the company can be successful in their creation of posable tentacles they would in essence be bringing the character to life.

Also if two tentacles are sculpted and another two is posable, there's going to be color matching issues since the sculpted tentacles will need to match the unpainted posable tentacles. Although, I gotta say, XM might be able to pull it off. But it will add difficulty.
Why do two tentacles have to differ from the other two? They can both be made of the same material (gooseneck aluminm?) except one set can move while the other doesn't. Why keep them affixed when the posable tentacles can be detached; thereby easing the fears re: break-ability and paint chipping. Why limit ourselves to only one pose and debate as to the pose. Does having posable tentacles make for more of an action figure? No more than interchangeable heads, arms or leds lights; rather it adds a bit of intrigue and enjoyment into owning a collectible. And consider if the tentacles are posable and affixed the value of having one in mint condition.

I think most are rightfully concerned about the quality of bendable tubes(look at SS's Apocalypse). If they can do it and make it dependable over time while looking good, then I'm all for it. But if not, then I'll take quality over posing options.

My biggest concern for poseable tents would be if they will affect the longevity of the statue? Speaking to the xm guys the very reason they choose full sculpt is to ensure the statues last many years to come.

Correct me if i am wrong but if the tentacles are posable would likely mean they need to be make from some form of plastic or semi rubberlike material, which doesnt usually stand the test of time.

Having two tentacles sculpted is so that Doc Oct can be suspended in the air as many have suggested. XM makes their statues solid so sculpted tentacles are needed to support him.

My man, you missed my point entirely. If the top tentacles are made from an aluminum alloy, there's no reason for the bottom two not be made from the same alloy. Also, since their main function is to support the statue, you could easily hide a very solid aluminum rod behind the tubing. Wouldn't you want aluminum tubing holding up your statue as opposed to porcelain?

With gooseneck tubing, all they would need to do is give it a nice brushed finish, creating a very modern look, have it pre-bent and install, done. For those of us who want a custom look, all we have to do is adjust until we like what we see :)

Great looking piece. A few suggestions...

1 suspend: his tentacles should look more like they're doing the lifting. Get one boot off the ground that gives the illusion he's being hoisted upward.
2. No gun: drop the piece. Give him an old school money bag. Switch out hand?
3. Spread your legs: space out the tentacles. Like Chris Walken would say... "Explore the space".
4. Expression: give his face some expression. Switch out head?
5. Accentuate the base: a defining feature of Ock is his intellect and tech inventions. That said, I'd drop about 5 small spider bots on the base.
6. Give him a stash: get his tentacles carrying something. Fire hydrant? Money bags? Manhole cover?
7. Diet: he's a little too fat.

In regards to the gun not being accurate, one of the earlier Spidey books I remember reading I looked back on for at least one time when Ock went to the gun well. =)

Doesn't look anything like Bowen's to me.

Also, I like the clentched fists as it is him being furious with Spidey and rilled up at his terrible jokes :P.

Now if he had like a santa bag of goodies or something as if this was from a heist then I could understand an open hand (as the switch out from the gun, the left would be the hand holding the bag, or maybe a tentacle doing so).

The Kraven and Mysterio are the ones I am most Psyched for! I can't freakin wait to see what amazingness XM comes up with for Hob and Green Goblin and Electro or Shocker!

This.

I'm least excited for Oc, I prefer the cylinder tentacles and the bottom tentacle poses are stiff and awkward looking to me. I wonder if they're using metal tentacles to hold the weight of this?

But Kraven and Mysterious look awesome...these prices though...but I want.

Yes to GG, Hob, Electro and Shocker.

M only critique of the current Wip's is that it looks too much like he is jumping. I don't picture Doc Ock as a particularly athletic guy.

His octopus arms should look like they are doing the lifting. Straightening the legs to a more relaxed position (but still suspended) would look great, in my opinion.

The legs bent is easier in the knees and prepares him to land. With them bent it gives a sense that he has been lifted up and is going over stuff.

I personally love the great power the mechanical ones convey, as opposed to the simple ones from the comic. The comic ones have their place since it is easier to star quickly, but I much prefer the design of the ones from the movie (and on this statue).

The comic tentacles has a sense of elegance to them. It's on the side of simplicity making it beautiful.

The movie tentacles has a sense of power to them. Not just their size, but because they're non-cylindrical shape allows you to see twisting and flow.

For me, I'm actually fine with either one. However I don't want Green Goblin going in the movie direction. I don't want this statue to dictate GG away from the comic version. It's a matter of time before XM makes GG and I prefer the comic version.

It may be better to have his right foot resting on the top of the girder, it will be a 3rd point of contact to take some weight off the tentacles.

Agree. This even has the more mechanical looking arms like in the movie while the Bowen arms are more cylindrical with small "fingers". Again, Bowen? Just don't see any similarities other than they both show doc as chubby, which he was.

I agree. I get updating looks and making them modern and I don't need the exact comic look but this is too far from the sensibilities of the comic. Having him in jeans makes him look too much like some generic thug who found a harness rather than the actual super villain, the criminal mastermind who in the past few years gave the FF and Avengers a run for their money and took down Spider-Man, but oh well. I like the tweaks to the pose now, it looks good, but not the details.

It might be unfair, and I didn't even attempt to get the statue but Magneto set the standard for me on how to modernize classic costumes.

I'd still rather not see the harness and have cyclinder tentacles but green pants would help this a lot. Also, these are minor details but if the boots, belt, gloves and top of the shirt were orange/yellow it would also put it closer to being a Modernized version of the Classic Doc Oc.

The body type, hair and pose are there. Still a good statue, just a few things are off to me.

the only thing i dislike about this is the money bags on the ground, they look like a woman's purse :P since he just ripped off a vaults door wouldnt it be better to have the old fashion money sacks? and instead of all the bills on the floor just have a few of those money sacks with the dollar sign on them it would also prevent them from having to use decals on the bills :)

I don't have a horse in this race, but green pants would look nicer.

Everytime I look at this I get so worried about the weight issue. A whole body is only held on by that joint in the back of the harness, right? Even if you shove metal rods thru that, can't it lean over time, or bend?

I would just throw out the comment Of be careful with the uninspired word. That can tend to really piss off the digital sculptor. Im sure that a lot thought and work has gone into the design.

Mr. Nice Guy
05-30-2015, 11:45 AM
I think this piece is almost as wow factor as you can make the doc.

Tentacles: they're menacing and big. Not weeny cylindrical tubes with pinchers. Sometimes classic isn't the best option. I would love to see one of them holding something like a bag of cash. Would be a great option to have a switch out tentacle gripper.

Expression: his expression is perfect. That's Ock.

Outfit: I agree about the statements re the pants but other than that it's solid.

Pose: very dynamic. The tentacles hoisting him up gives him a menacing presence and some height.

The piece: great switch out option. The doc isn't a frequent shooter but the fact that it's some kind of futuristic piece makes me think it's not a conventional gat. Probably shrinks ppl or something.

Fat: thanks for cutting back on the belly from the original.

Base: great job. Very classic concept.

Overall, very well done. I think you've taken this piece in a great direction.

Edit: I take back my comment about the tentacle carrying the cash. It looks great as it is. I'm seeing the context as if he was on the way out the bank and all of a sudden is met with opposition. He's had to drop the bags and get ready to whoop a$$.

Great looking piece. A few suggestions...

1 suspend: his tentacles should look more like they're doing the lifting. Get one boot off the ground that gives the illusion he's being hoisted upward.
2. No gun: drop the piece. Give him an old school money bag. Switch out hand?
3. Spread your legs: space out the tentacles. Like Chris Walken would say... "Explore the space".
4. Expression: give his face some expression. Switch out head?
5. Accentuate the base: a defining feature of Ock is his intellect and tech inventions. That said, I'd drop about 5 small spider bots on the base.
6. Give him a stash: get his tentacles carrying something. Fire hydrant? Money bags? Manhole cover?
7. Diet: he's a little too fat.

I posted this right when I saw the first concept and I have to say they followed up on most of it. I love the changes and I agree this piece is a definite winner.

Sandman came back and replaced Gog, Venom replaced Doc Oc (dead at the time), new Kraven (Kraven's Mutant son) replaced Hobgoblin. Probably one inspiration for Jamie Foxx's Electro look. Venom bit Sandman, new Kraven wasn't much of a bad guy and they broke up after this one outing.

My personal favorite roster from a couple of years ago...Chameleon and Rhino replaced Vulture and the extra spot. This roster outsmarted the FF, outfought the Avengers and held the world ransom...serious team here.

I'm ok with the SS Rhino so I wanna see something else. I imagine an Electro by XM would just be awesome considering the effects they could do.

Looks like they may have changed the tentacles to the classic cylindrical design, I much prefer these than the over-sized tentacles from the original WIP pic.

From the STGCC preview page.

Yeah if you want a circle plain base and a standing calm pose. Along with a few repaints of the same character, barely any switch out parts,,and going through a lottery to hope for the best when it arrives with chances of no replacements even after getting the statue for 2 days. recently the ex is kind of lame imo, and a massive ES. But who knows anything is possible. i can't rule it out totally right? I agree some of the ss stuff is superb but most now are only so-so after seeing XM imo.

It's a damn shame that XM probably has a bigger Marvel roster (more character choices) in 3 years than SS has in 10

Lol exactly I can't even keep up its like we get a New preview every few weeks of a new statue or more like serveral statues. Great but I just can't keep up.

This is how SS should have been with the Blizzard WoW license they had for 8 years. 8 years and only 4 statues??? SMH.

The QC was a gamble with the ss marvel line. Even my Emma has major issues. XM is keeping the excitement going and it's driving me crazy! So much good stuff coming so fast!

Spider-Man fans much be over the moon right now. Grats guys. His line is being done justice to the fullest. I'm not a big enough fan of the overall Spidey universe to justify the cost. That's around 12 thousand dollars for that entire group that doesn't even include a Spider-Man! lol

I need some other villains though! Give me a Loki, give me a Crossbones, Baron Zemo, Malekith, Madarin etc. etc.

Does the Spidey PF have a plain base and standing calm pose? I think you're confusing this line with the Xmen PFs. As long as the basic statue is nice I'm not worried about the number of switch outs. As far as ES goes, doesn't bother me in the least especially since I never sell my pieces.

Are you getting any of the XM pieces? If so, what's your source I'd love to know as well. I actually want to buy these but they're almost impossible to get imported into NA.

Just curious, but are you the same CBG from the freaks board?I'm surprised that you're pursuing XM pieces because the don't have coupon codes. ;)

Very true. It is unfortunate that had SS launched this line we would probably see MJ, black cat and venom four times over as opposed to this nice array of characters. I love SS but they do not venture into these lines deep enough and tend to stick with the female characters all too often.

I reckon Vulture will be along soon to complete the original 6. Although not a very exciting character versus modern standards, I'm curious as to how XM will recreate his wings and incorporate them into one of their premium bases.

Last note, I believe it would be amiss to not have Shocker, hobgoblin, and Carnage among the rogues. I think XM may be launching too much too fast as completionists will not be able to keep up with this line but perhaps we'll see these three down the road.
