Dr. Otto Octavius
This is basically a re-sizing of the Spiderman Classics Doc Ock. The head looks a little small on the body it came with, and I thought it would look pretty good on a Mego fat body. The neck plug was so long and went so far inside the original body that I had to cut it off. Instead of sculpting a Mego neck plug onto him, I bought some of those screws that have the little loops on one end - I can't think of what they're called, maybe "eyelet screws"? I restrung a repro fat body with elastic cording so I could get the joints just tight enough to stand correctly. The screw is in the bottom of the head and the elastic between the arms is threaded through the eyelet loop. I drilled holes in the body for the tentacles and left corresponding slits in the shirt. I did have to superglue them in place, so the costume is non-removeable. The belt is a thick yellow rubberband with pieces cut out to fit between the tentacles. I did attach elastic stirrups to the bottoms of the pant legs so they'd stay inside the repro boots. Other than that, all I did was shorten the shirt. He's just waiting for some yellow gloves and then he'll be complete. I haven't decided if I want to use the more fitted gloves(ala Fantastic Four) or the oven mitts. Right now I'm leaning toward the fitted ones, because the Marvel characters tended to get the nicer accessories.
