Best Octonauts toys?

[LeonoraFlorence]

My 3 year old DD has just got into Octonauts on CBeebies. We have so many toys (bigger sisters) but no Octonauts so thought Santa could bring something. I have no idea what to get though! She loves imaginary play with little play sets. Any recommendations?

One of our favorites was the Gup S polar exploration vehicle.

Meant to add that you could get a set of figurines if the characters to go with one of the big gups.

My ds all loved the Octonaut playsets and they still get played with in the bath and my youngest is now 8yrs!!! They particularly loved the different vehicles with the characters, an animal and a ‘tool’. We also have the Octopod but this is played with just not as much. I found they were all excellent, long lasting toys.

My boys loved the octonauts. We had loads of gups and they got played with a lot. I agree with a pp that the octopod saw less play than the gups. Ones that can go in the bath are good.

The volcano one was rather rubbish as you can't explode stuff more than half an inch (I looked on Amazon that Xmas evening and was full of 1/5 reviews), but ds liked it anyway. The portable pods went with us loads, the Gup X and Octopod were best but all the gups are good. Kwaziis shipwreck was a bit rubbish.

Gup A with Captain Barnicle is our most used set.
