The tentacles are actually truer to the source material. In every adaptation of Doc Ock after Spider-Man 2, his tentacles are more like mechanical snakes with mouths at the end. Which is fine, I'm not criticizing, but here you can see that the arms are spagetti-like and have tiny pinchers at the end. The tentacles rap around the victim and squeeze like mini-pythons. Unlike Spider-Man 2 and Spectacular Spider-Man which grab and hold the victim with the pinchers.
Even with its faults, I can commend the strength of three tentacles. I was able to fix the droopiness by filling the holes with tape and now they're locked in tight. But the tentacles are strong enough to actually hold up a figure over Ock's head. My Ock is posed with two of the tentacles pinning spiderman high up on a wall, and its stayed supported ever since I posed it.
The two pack I’m waiting for from hasbro is a Doc Ock marrying aunt may 2 pack. “Surly you can’t be serious!” “I am serious! and don’t call my Shirley.”
If you put a dab of clear nail polish in the sockets on the backpack and insert the tendrils, it will give a much more snug fit. Using a course surface like carpet or Styrofoam will allow for better grip for the tendril claws so you can use them as a stand.
I hoped you reviewed the green goblin and mary jane watson 2 pack figures soon and compared them with amazing fantasy and renew your vows spider man figures too soon.
Well i received mine today and What i can Say is that tentacles don’t stand in his back. If i want to hold them i will need to glue them😢 09:43 Thats What happend to my new retro version. If i want to move them falls off!
I have heard some people are wrapping the ends of the tentacles with a bit of tape to make them thicker so they fit more snugly. That might be a better solution than gluing, since gluing is permenant
I want all the spiderman tas stuff but its tough to keep up with with my budget by the time i have money its long gone off the shelf. Have to buy online or off scalpers.
They are smart they knew aunt may wasn't going to sell so they stuck her in a two pack with doc ock. Well here is a concept for yall why couldn't we get chameleon instead of aunt may and have him come with an aunt may head
@KentuckyFrledChicken honestly speaking Chameleon I think is the only character I wouldn't complain if Marvel gave him a gender swap. Kinda like D.C did with Copperhead
This set is a pass for me. I like Ock's aesthetics and new body mold, but there are too many caveats even with just him. The fact that they engineered tentacles that bend, but don't anchor into the figure correctly is weird. The fact that it is exactly opposite of the problem with the comic Ock makes me suspect plans for a different "upgraded" release are already in the works. (Hardly the first time, I know.) I'd pay $52.99 for an Ock with good tentacles and paint, but not a half-a$$ed one that comes with a hitchhiking traffic cone figure that I wouldn't be inclined to use even for fodder. Hard pass
Well, like I said a lot of it does depend on how much you want May. I don't care that she is a traffic cone. She's an old lady, so all I need her to do is stand there, but if all you want is Ock probably better to hold out for a high end one
@@5POAFigureReviews really thorough review! Much appreciated, and thanks for writing back! I’ve got my fingers crossed for Hasbro to knock a NWH Ock out of the park, or Mezco. (And maybe… someday, somehow… a MAFEX)
@@5POAFigureReviews it seems I may have been a little premature. After taking in others’ comments, it appears that the tentacles can stay put. They require a little heat &/or water and will be fully seated once TWO CLICKS are heard/felt. They can still rotate a little too easily, but will stay firmly in the backpack
The tentacles friction is an easy fix for any collector, you just have to fill the holes with paper or cover them and the tentacles pegs with nail polish to make more friction.
With Carnage being packed with Black Costume Spidey, I doubt we will get that particular two pack, but I have to imagine they will get Animated Venom back into circulation for those who missed out on the Con version.
The figures look pretty great though that price for the figures is pretty steep and it being a hasbro pulse can be a turn off in some aspects. I could see some worth for the figures though. Regardless, keep up the splendid work Jason!
@@5POAFigureReviews Because for some people the top of mind for May is or Marissa Tomey, or the lady with the umbrella at Maguire trilogy. This one is also too realistic to be the one that you saw on animated series, that's a big issue of some heads nowadays.
@@5POAFigureReviews yes I got a notification they drop tonight around midnight so I may wait a week since I have shf Tobey and several other spideys and, after all it's yo joe June my favorite Hasbro month, love the legends but joes come first 👍👍
Not sure why they led with this one, but based on how detailed the face is, I would not be shocked if we got a reissue with more muted colors for the clothes and a new silver hairdo for the comic version.
I'm very disappointed with this set. Aunt May sucks and is pretty much useless. She might as well have been a statue. As for Ock, I really bought the set for the tentacles and the fact that they aren't actually compatible with the comic Ock like Dwight advertised is very disheartening. Thankfully, the sculpt, especially for the head, make up for it, but it is going to be weird to have all of these comic versions of Spidey characters on my shelf and then animated Doc Ock. Nevertheless, the bendy tentacles and pinless joints do win out in the end.
I’m using this 2-pack to determine which reviewers I can trust for an honest & intelligent assessment. Unfortunately..You didn’t pass. You clearly showed the major flaws in both figures but still claim you like them & gave a high rating. These figures are garbage. It doesn’t matter if you wanted them, now that they are here & are clearly horribly produced you’re just going to accept them? How sad. Hasbro asks for a high price but gives out a low quality product. Stop accepting & praising trash like this or collectors will seldom if ever get good figures.
One man's trash is another man's treasure, Travis. It is absolutely possible to enjoy something in spite of its flaws (and to also disagree on what constitutes a flaw). For example, one criticism I see a lot is that Aunt Man can't sit down? To be honest, I can't think of any all plastix figures with skirts that can. I've even seen figures with cloth skirts that can't. It's just the limitation of the medium. Either way, no hard feelings. If my style doesn't work for you, there are plenty of other channels out I am sure you'll enjoy.
Yeah, sorry Trav, but one review doesn’t take away an entire creator’s credibility as a reviewer. I, also love this set. I needed may to pose with my MJ, Gwen, and Peter. And it doesn’t work that bad. The Doc Ock I got for the tentacles, and ended up loving the figure. Keeping the body for a custom and with a repaint to the head, wow, does it look good. I understand that you don’t want to customize your figures, and think they should be good from the get-go, and I still think they are. Major flaws like that doesn’t take away from the fact that you can still like a figure. The Marvel Select classic Spidey has a lot of flaws, but still, it’s an amazing figure in my opinion. I’m not defending Hasbro, because alot of stuff they do is very questionable, and a lot of it can be garbage, but not this one, it served it’s purpose, and didn’t do bad doing it.
Maaaan this set looks cool. Shame I don't care about peteys depressing semi abusive aunt. Mfs need to stop playing with his marriage and keep the ol bint dead lmao What no I never read marville
A lot of us would love to have a Marissa To-Aunt May figure. Even if she's packed with a Happy Hogan.
That'd work for me
Or the classic May for Maguire movies with a umbrella.
what 💀
The headsculpt of Otto si really well done.
It really is
That Goblin laugh was spot on.
Thank you!
Cant wait for the gobin and mj two and hopefully a gwen and bell tower 2 pack

Thanks!

That's awesome! I need to give that a try
That Aunt May/Green Goblin scene made my day hahah
lol thank you!

“Surly you can’t be serious!”
“I am serious! and don’t call my Shirley.”
Haha that would be hilarious
I just superglued the tentacles on my one lmao. I figured I wouldn’t need to remove them anyway, and now they pose fine, they hold aunt may etc.
I'm thinking about it
If you put a dab of clear nail polish in the sockets on the backpack and insert the tendrils, it will give a much more snug fit. Using a course surface like carpet or Styrofoam will allow for better grip for the tendril claws so you can use them as a stand.
Great tips, thanks!
Finally, the perfect counterpart for that other Aunt May figure - the one that looks like Gary Busey!
Ha! That thing is nightmare fuel
Your action figure photography is improving
Thank you
I hoped you reviewed the green goblin and mary jane watson 2 pack figures soon and compared them with amazing fantasy and renew your vows spider man figures too soon.
I don't know when it comes out, but I do want that Mary Jane so you can best be sure I'll be reviewing it.
Considering the price, I'd rather wait for Mafex's version of Doc Ock.
Mafex will never do the cartoon Doc Ock. It just isn’t happening.
@@BrandonNielsen87 but they may do some version of Ock. Someday
@@zenquantum1246 Your best bet is Spiderverse.

I like it!
Shockerrrrr😂
Never gets old
I want all the spiderman tas stuff but its tough to keep up with with my budget by the time i have money its long gone off the shelf. Have to buy online or off scalpers.
The Amazing friends figure also has different arms as the animated figure has the arms from Renew your Vows for some reason
Really? That's interesting
I think Aunt Mays arms and legs come from the cap, carter MCU t pack.
That would explain why her arms stick out a bit. Thanks!
Doc ock for me
Wait, a James Cameron Spiderman movie? Alright, I'm traveling the multiverse until I find a place this movie actually happened.
There’s two scripts. One he wrote with Electro as the villain and one he was just credited with with Otto
You should see James Cameron’s Aquaman. It was the biggest movie ever. Even made more money than Tobeys Spider-Man.
Is that an Entourage reference?
@@5POAFigureReviews You kidding? I am Queens Boulevard.
They are smart they knew aunt may wasn't going to sell so they stuck her in a two pack with doc ock. Well here is a concept for yall why couldn't we get chameleon instead of aunt may and have him come with an aunt may head
Sounds like a good concept, but it’s a female head on a male body
