Need help identifying part - tentacles

Post by Buck Mustard »

I've been looking for some parts that kinda look like tentacles. They seem to show up on alot of brick built monsters. I spent alot of time poking around in BrickLink catalog the other night but could not find them. Today I looked on peeron at the underwater sets thinking they might be part of a squid or something but had no luck.

This pic on BS (not mine) is a spider using these parts for legs. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=413669

I was wondering if someone could help identify what these parts are or what sets/themes they came in. I'd like to find some on BrickLink so I can get some.

TIA!

Those tentacles actually come in three parts: a tip, a middle section, and an end section. Each section is thicker than the previous. Here are some links:

Hope this helps!

They were used in the Ogel sets of the Alpha Team line.
