Wild Republic 10872 Octopus Plush Soft, Cuddlekins Cuddly Toys, Gifts for Kids 20cm

Despite my adult age, I’d consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of soft toys. They have to be realistic to look at, but also have some natural character and charm to them.I’m happy to say that “Octavia” as I’ve named her, ticks all these boxes. She’s just a great toy to pick up and interact with! Each tentacle has a small length of elastic sewn into the end, which curls the tip and snaps it back to position when extended. The curved ends also give strength and allow the toy to effortlessly ‘stand’ on its tentacles - which it will naturally do on any non-shiney surface. It’s stability while ‘standing’ and ease of posing make it a very satisfying toy to play with!The plush fabric is beautifully soft and the texturing is lovely. Quality of construction seems good, although this toy has not handled by a young child and has only been ‘played with’ very lightly. There is clearly some shaped padding between the eyes to give the face shape. While I think this will hold up fine to regular hugging, it could possibly become dislodged with more... enthusiastic loving.There are only a couple of complaints I have about this toy. The first is the positioning of the obligatory label - being on one of the two front tentacles seems like an odd place for it. The other is the underside. Between the tentacles, there is no beak - the body is made of two simple half-octagons of material so it can lie flat. However this was also where the toy was clearly stuffed, as the seam holding these bottom two pieces of material together seems very crudely sewn. This doesn’t detract from the appeal visually, as you would rarely see the underside, but it feels like a weak spot of the toy.Definitely a recommended purchase for anyone young, or pretending to be, who likes unusual soft toy animals.

our son wanted octopus plush toy after visiting sea life and this one its bang on hot purchase. its well made, beautifull colors and its 2 years with us now. no damage after many playing sesions.

Okay, I admit it, I bought this beautiful little creature for myself. Octopuses have a special place in my heart. I just find them so fascinating and, as it's impractical, not to say cuel, to have one, this gorgeous little beast now live with me.She arrives curled up in a clear plastic bag, and having released her I@ve noticed hat her arms are begining to uncurl slightly. Her colour is beautiful - soft Autumnal colours. By happy coincidence I watched a video clip on t'internet just a few days ago, concerning mother octopus who had laid her eggs in an old plastic pipe, which had then come adrift n was sitting on the beach. Have no fear readers, she was rescued along with her eggs and her pipe house - but, she was almost the exact same colour as my lovely Lydia.Wild Republic beasties are all so well made, with firm stitching, no loose parts and lovely soft, cuddly fabric. And this particular one is an amazingly good price.

My 7 year old ordered this lovely octopus buddy with his pocket money. The material is smooth and soft, and the stuffing is super cuddly. The "fur" colour is quite realistic which my son really liked.The cuddly toy doesn't have a beak like a real octopus so it's not totally life-like but it still looks really good. The tentacles are shaped so they don't just hang down straight, they curl a little bit. I have noticed that since getting it, some of the stuffing has relocated away from the tentacles so some of them are a bit thin now but I guess they could be reshaped by moving the stuffing back in from the body. It doesn't bother my son so not a big deal!A great toy for a child who likes sea creatures, or grown ups who like cuddly collectables!

I think it is really good . I like its colour, but I wish it was a mimic octopus and it could change into different sea creatures. But overall I think it is well made.

Beautiful, soft and realistic looking toy from Wild Republic. Excellent quality toy, as always when purchasing from Wild Republic and Amazon. My daughter really loves this toy and she likes the fact that it looks almost like a real octopus! All of the toys we have purchased from Wild Republic are of excellent quality and arrive well packaged, thank you. I would highly recommend buying this product to others.Thank you very much.
