Octonauts

[KwaziiCat]

Anyone know some great Octonauts toys? My youngest is obsessed...

Her grandparents (my DM/DF) are getting her this so am lost at what to do?

My kids love it and have lots of the guys etc. it's all great quality and still going strong after 2 years of play! Try the gup x.

You could get the go-pods to add to the octopod it improves it a lot imo. And a Gup? Mine love the Gup x

The Gup X is good. If you want something cheaper, the Gup B is the coolest. You could also buy little character sets, my DS loves the one with Peso, the narwhal and the ice, and the one with Kwazii, the slime eel and treasure chest.

The gups are great - DS has one and it goes in the bath or on dry land. He also likes making Captain Barnacles fart by blowing bubbles out of its bum

Magazine subscription?

The books are great - lovely illustrations. Gup A was a big hit with DS2 who ot it for his second birthday.

DS (3.5) shares this obsession. His gups and Octopod are his most played with toys, his gups have been in the bath plenty of times with him and they always seem to spark his imagination. I would just get a lot of gups and plenty of the characters (there are only 2 included in the Octopod) to get him going!

Everyone I know with the octopod says it's well played with

Just a warning that the Gup x can't go in the bath as it takes batteries.

We have em all. Started collection when he was 2 and a half and still going strong at 4. Getting the on the go pods for Xmas and a new Octopod as he lost the Octoalert and he and his brother fight over our current one as ds2 (18 mths) loves shoving Octonauts down the slides. Best price for Octopod is 20 quid on Amazon. Deep Sea Octolab same. Both previously 40.

Can get full character set on Amazon for 20 too.

We are getting Little Tikes Pirate Water Table reduced to 51 from 78 on Amazon and the Octopod, family getting pods. Plan to be splashing about with gups on Xmas Day!

DS, now 5, has been into Octonauts since it first started and has a lot of the toys. I'd definitely look at some of the gups. Gup A is good. As is X. You can't go wrong with any of them to be honest. We also got a very cheap tub of plastic sea creatures from Amazon which adds to the play. DS enjoys playing with Kwazi's shipwreck too.

All of the octonauts toys are well played with here! Keep an eye on amazon as prices often drop! Mum picked up the pirate ship for £12 and peso gup for about the same. We managed to get the gup x for £19. They seem well made and stand up to a lot of play. My 6 year old still enjoys playing with them too :)
Agree with previous poster about the pack of 20 sea creatures from amazon too - well worth adding them to the set (they arent octonauts just a random set but they are great)

this is the bucket of sea things we had - they're not amazing sea creatures, but include rocks, greenery etc so always been good for play. We made a big sea bed out of card/tissue paper etc - it's pretty tatty looking these days but DS loves getting it out with his Octonauts toys etc - keeps him entertained for hours!

Thanks

I think I'll get the character set and a gup b. I think I'll reccomend the books to a friend as she wants to get something for her book and octonaut mad DS.

these are what we got - they are brilliant and include some really random creatures: www.amazon.co.uk/Sealife-Creatures-seahorse-stingray-starfish/dp/B0049FGWUO/ref=sr_1_1?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1384098553&sr=1-1&keywords=sea+creatures

they have Octonauts "holiday annuals" in the pound shop at the mo. I think it was Poundworld. Hardback, about A5 size and with stories and stickers. Excellent value.

The octopod in the OP was/is £19.99 in Sainsburys toy sale..gutted- cost me £40 last year.Has been played with a lot though

The best Octonauts book is "The Octonauts Explore the Great Big Ocean". Is has very detailed pictures and a lovely glow in the dark page. I haven't been that impressed with the other books by comparison.

Gup B in flying fish mode, Gup C and Gup D in crab mode on sale in Sainsburys right now for a tenner...

Also 3 for 2 on a range of Octonauts toys in Toys R Us

My DS has played with the Gup X all year (since last Christmas). Best toy ever! Oh apart from a flying spy car from playmobil, that's been going 2 years!
