It came from the Toy Chest: Marvel's Possible Japanese Porn Star

I caved in and bought another of the 3 3/4" Spidey figs... It's my favorite Spidey Villain... Doctor Octopus!!
Where to Start... He looks like a bit like Ultimate Doc Ock, but not quite. He has the color scheme of Classic Ock. and a Douchebag goatee. Also he has 8 translucent tentacles.

5 Classic and 3 with "Ultimate" attachments. One looks like a the end of a vacuum cleaner, the other looks like a tazer gun and the third is a buzz saw. (That really spins)
The tentacles are stuck to a backpack that is removable. (There is supposedly a variant with 4 metal tentacles) but still looking like a douchebag.


He comes with some playing cards and a decoder. It's like Rock-Paper-Scissors with a twist.
Biggest Gripe is the Crotch. It has the worst 2 POA of the whopping 8 PoA on the figure.

I ranted a bit now for the review part:
As always 1= crap 5 = awesome
Articulation:
Ok he's got 8 PoA... Come on Hasbro! You can do a LOT better than that... I've got other Hasbro toys with plenty of Articulation... 1.5

Sculpt & Paint:
I have to be fair here The guy has a nice detailed sculpt, but He doesn't look like Doctor Octopus. The paint is a bit sloppy. 2.0
Accessories:
The tentacles can be counted as such since they can be removable. He's also got the card game thing. 3.0
Overall: 2.17 I honestly want to LIKE this toy, but no matter how I look at it all I can see is FAIL written all over him. It hurts me to call a Doc Ock toy a CRAPPY toy... Then again this toy may have a future in the Japanese Porn industry...
