The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

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.

Crap...crap...crap! I was trying to stay away from XM Statues but this is the one figure I wanted most of all, my favorite Marvel character. Oh well, odds are I will not find a place to order him from anyway lol.

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 ....

Thank goodness I'm not big into Spider Man land. My first love is X-Men then Avengers. I'm interested in maybe their take on Spider Man and the Green Goblin

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.
