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.

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.

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.

OOOOO!!!! Can we please get a Superior Spiderman to go alongside him (preferably with the mechanical arms on the suit) to stand behind him mirroring him? Would be an awesome diorama to set up to show Otto's glory!

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!

Well said, although I could take the tentacles either way. The movie versions look really sick, but i am good with either.

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
