I also need the measurement of the Hydro-Viper's hose. I've got a repro one that I would like to cut the same length.

my hatred of the Kraken is pretty well known between him and the skeletron and roboskull, I think those are the low points of ACTION FORCE , So when I say that.......................I LOVE this custom and take on the character you got to know its a good one

great job on it, great job on the file card and great job on making me love the KRAKEN.

Id proudly buy this figure if they would mass produce it!

again what a great take on the Kraken a formerly KRAPPY figure

I'm liking that! But then, Kraken's kick ass any day. ;)

What are the original pieces, please?

I've got the same thing in a box somewhere downstairs, but I envisioned him as a experiment in genetics by ol' Ironblood; thus half-man, half-kraken, and their commander. The fins and helmet stayed red. Perfect set of deep water warriors for Q-Force, leaving the Shadow-Frogmen for the boys from Boat Patrol.

I can't believe I still remember this, but the idea was conceived when I was reading the Peter Benchley novel "White Shark". The Nazi plot sounded right up your street Baron!

Lovin that custom, and what I really like is the interpretation of the Kraken as a masked soldier rather than monster
