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.

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.
Good stuff!
Rainer

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 ;-)

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.
