Piranacon accessories?

Post by gounc14 »

Just curious if anyone with piranacon knows if the weapon bases/stands are all the same, or will I need to buy different ones for each figure?

They're all the same 3 piece sets of base, gun/pipe shaft and top piece. Have never worked out what the top bit is supposed to be to be honest.

the top part is just an adapter to the "standard" gestalt head.
check out this page, it'll really help you know what to look for:

Just for completeness,
Regarding the top bit on the 'tripod'--it's for mounting any one of the 5 smaller Seacons in weapon mode. Basically Piranacon is supposed to be a 'Targetmaster' of sorts, 2 of the smaller Seacons are used as legs, 2 as arms, and 1 as a weapon which Piranacon can hold, but can alternatively be mounted on the 'tripod'.

right. which is why the con's with two weapons have those weapons mount together, with a larger tab. interchangeablitily to the max, dude. :wink: oh, and a slightly larger screw driver should work, maybe even better, than one from a glasses repair kit. i used the same driver i used assembling my comp to do my onslaught. there is an article here somewhere about joint tightening. oh... toy talk: "loose joints...rubber cement?"

Haha, thanks TT!
I have four Seacons, all I need are Snaptrap and Overbite to complete my collection. But I could never figure out how to attach the figure to the accessories. Haha, greatest "Targetmaster" ever. :)
