Sweet, I'll take a dozen of those!

Geez Dave...

Don'tcha know nuthin'??

Unit of measure is clearly  8

You may order in multiples, or fractions, of same...

or didja mean the ENTIRE beastie?

Rather than simply the sucker encrusted individual appendages...

Found a very good candidate, albeit one with fewer tentacles. But it is a quality piece, loaded with detail....

The Schleich Krokodil

This beast is 7" long... It could believably make short work (two bites?) of the average 28mm mini and comes very nicely painted.


Perhaps not enough tentacles, but a convincing terror all the same.  :D And at under $10.00, you can't go wrong.

Very nice!
That should put the fear of the water into the characters.

It reminds me of one of those history channels shows called Super Croc or something like that. It was about croc fossils of enormous sized crocs, like the one you just got.

I wanted a Kraken sea monster for my pirates but I didn't want to spend a fortune on it so I bought some cheap toy dinosaurs at the swap meet and cut their tails off.  From Evergreen plastic I cut out discs for suckers and attached them.  I then stuck the tails in Milliput bases and painted them.  Later I decided I'd like a head for my monster and I found two good options: the Star Wars' sea monster toy found for a dollar at the swap meet and Reaper's Desert Thing.  I posted the results awhile back and it can be seen at leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=42541.0

DAMN! That is a wicked great beast!  :-* :-* :-*

Also a brilliant and deceptively simple idea!

I just had a look at a dollar store octopus on my wife's desk at work and the tentacles would be perfect.  I'll head down today and see if they still have them.

I haven't seen any in the Dollar Stores near for ages.  Must have been a run on Octopuses.

We almost bought the same one for the Perilous Island Lagoon Terror. Another one we almost went with was their "giant" crab.  lol lol

Dave,
         I got the Giant Crab.  I cut the pincers off and mounted them on pennies.  I'm just not convinced that the head/body works.
