I was able to get Doc Ock's tentacles in place with a little patience and lubrication, no cutting/gluing needed.
Once the ball joint for the tentacle is lubricated (I just used spit!), just twist into place until the arm is in place.
I had removed the chest piece, that made it easier. When the arms are correctly in place, you'll be able to see a hint of silver on the inside of the back of the chest piece.
The paint applications on Black Cat and Spider-Man are definitely the worst I've seen on a Minimate, as many others are saying. I really want to know what Diamond has to say about this. Between Spidey and Black Cat's paint, Vultures wings, and Doc Ock's tentacle problem, I really feel that this set warrants a recall/replace. If it was just one of the 4, I would just shrug it off, but to have this level of defect on all 4 figures is unacceptable at this stage of Minimate production.
