Understanding that Shuma's tentacles are pretty much analogous to a Roach Motel ("Roaches check in, but they don't check out"), I'm hesitant to insert them into their ports until I determine their optimal configuration. The strange thing is, while the official image shows the three hooked tentacles in the lower 3 ports and the wavy tentacles in the upper three, videos of people playing with the official sample from SDCC show the hooked tentacles inserted at the 10, 2, and 6 o'clock ports, and the wavy tentacles inserted into the 12, 4, and 8 o'clock ports. Wtf?
The SDCC configuration makes the most sense because one would want him to be able to grab things with the hooked tentacles as opposed to using them as feet. But the 12 o'clock wavy tentacle seems goofy articulating side-to-side.
They REALLY should have included an instructional diagram or better-still, integrated a secondary swivel point where the rubbery material meets the plastic shoulder-balls in order to make his articulation much more fluid and to minimize the "oh shit! I put them in wrong" regret I've read people expressing online. Regardless, how the hell should I configure these gd tentacles???
I'm so confused and effectively frozen with indecision right now. Hahaha
