Thanks for all the photos and ideas!
The Matrix Sentinal deserves further investigation as to scale with the 8 inch size.
Love the payphone cord. Sadly, I'm highly allergic to stealing anything but bad jokes and ideas.

Mego Museum is a treasure trove of information and creation, thanks to you helpful members.

You can buy the payphone cords on ebay

That's where I got them. I'm not a thief

Here you go. Take the wiring out, replace it with a stiff wire and viola - you have great looking tentacles. Cutting them will be the most difficult part.

eBay? too cool. Megospidey, I am trully sorry. I would like to say it was just a bad joke, but that would be a lie. the truth is, I didn't know this item was available to the public. I was going for humor in my statement, didn't realize at the time, how presumptuous it was.

^ Do not worry one bit. That's why I put the emoticons in my statement. I wanted you to know that I found it funny too.

The '90s Toybiz Doc Ock projector-figure has some good in scale ones, too--but thety are molded in a pre-posed position.

Your understanding, to my honesty/TMI(?), makes your character shine, even here on the web.

There are some 'braided sleevings' and 'spiral wrap' plastic electrical cable covers that might work for you:
