Botcon 2012 Shattered Glass Octopunch

I wanna find an octopus toy with either solid rubber or plastic tentacles and nip them off, stick from on some ball-jointed C-Clip joints; thinking harvesting those from a couple HA basic Backfires. Then I can attach them to the c-clip bars on Octopunch's shoulders and he'll be beautiful.

I wound up with him through happenstance while acquiring some other Botcon exclusives, but this guy has really grown on me. Shattered Glass be damned.

I have dug him from the first pics. Would have liked to see him with a different head but still he is a great use of a pretty nifty mold.

Plus the scene of him and himself in the comic made him even more awesome. Now to figure out exactly where I can fit him in on my shelves since these are the only SG I own are this years.

EDIT: To the above comment, which figure you mean? I looked at Backfire but didn't see the tentacles. You mean the dreads perhaps? Just asking cause now you got me intrigued as to doing this.

From Backfire, I'm simply talking about the c-clip joints on his assault rifles, since they're just simple ball joints. Then attaching those to some tentacles.

Where is the trident from?

DOTM Space Case

Thanks. It looks cool on Octopunch.

HFTD Terradive also had that trident, but in different colors. He's probably easier to find that Space Case, but the one specifically pictured in the first post is Space Case's. There'll also be a 3rd one with next year's Club freebie Depth Charge

Alright dude.

I agreed 100% in your 1st post. Looks pretty MEH. But your second pick with it in your "crab" mode...

OK..Get this

Go get you one of those cheap rubber Octopi I see at toy sections, Cut them legs down, Dry brush Matching baby blue on those legs.

Take the legs, and get some Clips from DOTM stuff, and drill out the legs, and clamp on the c-lips to the "crab mode"

I know that would be 6 legs, so either use the front two, or fold them Under, same way you got em, and just swing em under, and use the front Clips hold 2 of the legs.

Mabye even mount then somehow to where they look like a CAPE in Bot' mode..

There you go.

If I had that thing, Thats EXACTLY what Id' do..And it would look F'n Kick ass.

I took your idea and came up with this crab mode.

The more i see of these convention exclusives, the sadder i am that i will most likely never own them
