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.

Hahah fair enough =) Just trying to put together a nice piranacon soon, so I'm trying to figure out what all I need ;)

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. :)
