Hey,

Can someone enlighten me on this particular problem that I still have to this day with one of my favorite Cobra-La characters: Nemesis Enforcer. Why does he come with a snap-on back tentacle accessory ??? They did it on the 87' figure, but I don't see why this accessory should've followed in the 25th toyline, unless it is explained in the comic book that came with the 2-pack...I bought Nemesis Immortal as loose, so I don't have the comic book which probably explains what his "tentacle" backpack" is useful for. Does anyone know if his tentacle backpack is something he can interchange like a pair of gloves in the comic book?

Why didn't they make Nemesis Immortal with a "Spore" and "shooting starfish" accessories, those props would've been cool.

I have no complaints with the Nemesis Immortal, finally a Nemesis Enforcer that stands greater next to my 86' Sgt. Slaughter!

As far as I know the character has both tentacles and wings.  The unfortunate part about the figure is they both can't be on him at the same time.   Also, the movie never showed this feature.

It's never really been explained. I know if you put it on another figure you can have the tentacles wrap around the figure like a bigger version of one of the spores Pythona used against the Crimson Guards in her Terrordrome infiltration. However, the comic included with Nemesis Immortal actually does have tentacles coming out under his wings, which is impossible for the figure because there's only one hole for the backpack peg.

Wow Scramble,

Tentacles coming out from under his wings... I really preferred your own explanation of re-enacting the tentacles wrapping around another figure, I never actually thought of this but it makes total sense to me now if I think of it in the Gi JOE Movie context.

Thanks for the imput man!

This figure was a great surprise. The original is terrible; however, this updated version is really excellent! He actually looks extremely powerful.

If you click on the image here you can see the cover of the Falcon/Nemesis comic. They kind of blend into the background but if you look at Nemesis Immortal's shoulders you can see the tentacles.

Not with that figure, but with other ones yes.
I plan on taking them apart and adding some clear nail polish inside the socket area to firm them up.
