    Attaching FC tentacles to a Mego fatman body w/bodysuit?

    My original plan was to use the whole FC's tentacles with belt on a CTVT fatman body. Then everything went sideways. CTVT fatman body was a little short, and I didn't mind Doc Ock being fatter, but shorter, was not what I was looking for. Purchased taller Mego fatman body on ebay with some damage. Later found complete 'The Wizard of Oz' for one dollar. Switched arms and white hands to ebay body, and used hybrid for 'the Doc'.
    So here is my question, what's the best way to alter the bodysuit and torso to add these accessories?

    as far as the torso goes you could just drill the right size holes to accept the Hasbro tentacles.

      I went and made mine with a white doctor type shirt and pants and put the tentacles though the side seams of the shirt. He stands up with the tentacles off the ground. Kinda cool.

        I glued the arms right to the side of the body and just sliced a small opening for them to come out. I'll take a pick later to show you.

          I attached mine right to the upper torso, right through the fabric.

            Wow! You guys are the greatest!
            No disrespect to the glued and mounted on fabric look. Seriously, it looks amazing. I'm leaning toward removable tentacles idea for packaging purposes. I'm guessing this will mean drilling the torso holes and altering the bodysuit to match.
            I like the back rib-cage position, as in HumanWolfman design. This will mean making a hole outside a seam. Anyone done this, that may have advice?

              That is what I did. The tenticles are threaded and actually screwed into the upper torso through a small hole in the fabric. I am not sure how this application would work on an orignal torso. The one I use is a custom sculpt and cast in resin.

                If you can find the right size eyelets, you could put those on the suit to allow for the tentacles to get to the torso.
