    I'd say there's very little chance at this point. If they were going to do so, they'd have done it by now.

    How tall is this figure? Does the foot extenders really help with the height?

    They add about half an inch to his height. There are some 3d printed files you can download and have them 3d printed upper leg extensions. I have some made and should be here by Monday or Tuesday. I do hope they help with his stability.

    Too bad the God Neptune colors never saw fruition.

    Thanks. I was hoping that there was a way to get it to about 18 inches.

    It's a shame TFC doesn't continue with the alternate color scheme since it appear in it's own comic and looks fabulous.

    Does anybody have the 3d printed tentacle adapter who can clue me on how the hell this thing attaches to his arm?

    That peg is too small for that hole and wouldn't be stable either since those parts split apart. The Shapeways page says it attaches to the "target master port" but I'm entirely unclear on what that means.

    It wants you to use the piece you'd use for foot mode or gun mode, the one with a peg hole, a 5mm peg, and a bar of 5mm pegs to go in-between the legs of the figure.

    Ah, different connector. I'll have to figure out where I stuck those. Thanks.

    Really glad I ordered this from Shapeways. It's a pretty cool mod, simple, plugs in very solidly and is worth every penny.

    Thanks again to @Warpshard. It's been a while since I assembled him and forgot what the various combiner extremity plugs looked like.

    Yes well said @BIOMEC , count me in for larger size, higher budget makeover by Cang too. And lets face it - Cang know how to do mini and large scale versions of the same combiner.
