Douglas Winky Octopus Plush Stuffed Animal

I bought this as a Valentine's treat for my oldest son, who is into ocean creatures. For not being too expensive, this little fellow is truly very nicely crafted: beautiful and textured fabrics, nice even shape and feel/squeeze (not to flimsy or floppy, not to firm or rigid, no crooked parts), no workmanship issues or errors. I've seen some reviews showing surprise at size or color, so I dried to depict it as accurately as I could in photos. I'd call it a slightly slate-y navy blue overall, with a silvery-grey underbody. It's darker than in the picture Amazon displays, but still definetly blue. They secribe "inky blue," and Iys say that's about right. Both fabrics have some fun texture to add a bit of pattern, a nice touch. He doesn't have tentacles per se, but the fabric texture indicates something of the like. The "head bulge" (not an anatomically proper term, I'm sure, but you know what I mean), is a little bit weighted with an inner section of some sort of fill beads, while the whole of it is plush. I pulled out a yardstick, and when I sat him upon without manually unfurling his arms, he is 12.5-13" from end to end. Someone decribed him as not much bigger than a Beanie Baby. I'd say his head may not be much larger than one, but taking his arms into consideration (a good half of his overall size), he's notably bigger than that, though certianly not a "big" stuffed animal by any means (not bitty either). I took a picture of him with a credit card-sized card to give some visual size reference, and another to show details a bit closer. He has nice eyes that give him an engaging expression. He's quite velvety-soft. I think he's great, and I'm sure my son will agree. If you expect him to look exactly like the website's photo, no the color is a bit different (but still nice!), but the rest of it looks pretty on point. He's durable, and a nice size and shape for both younger kids who may wish to drag him around everywhere they go without being encumbered (as my younger two do with their stuffed animals), and the older crowd who just wants a handsome little pal to sit nicely on display on a bed or other space. My older son has an ocean-themed bedroom in blues, and this little guy will be a lovable and fitting touch.

Cute, soft and quality. It also looks fairly realistic in comparison to others available. The size is small but the description notes the size so that shouldn't be an issue or surprise. My older son (6) likes it more than my 3 yo who it was purchased for but oh well. Overall, for the cost and quality, I can't complain.

I wanted a quality gift for my wife and this one was a big hit. It is extremely well crafted and lovely. Just the right side too. The detail is great and the colors are perfect. It is a great gift for anyone from 3 to 80. We like it so much that this is the go-to brand we will look for in the future.

Possibly the best stuffed octopus on the market. Sizable, plush and durable, and it has a realistic look about it, while still being cuddly for kids. Great for sharing the love with these intelligent mollusks.

Really cute and appears well made but only measures 17" if you were to stretch out the curled tentacles on opposite sides of the head/ mantle.

Super soft and well made. No slip in stitching or wonky eyes. It's a bit smaller than I was anticipating, but I'd take quality over size. About 8 to 10 inches from head to tentacle tips, slightly weighted in the head.

Looks absolutely perfect, feels great. He makes a great desk buddy

We named him Inky. He's smaller than expected but is actually the perfect size. Such a great stuffed animal brand. Went back and bought another.

El pulpo Winky de peluche es original y de excelente calidad, se ve muy bien junto a su amiga Winona (peluche también de la marca Douglas). Muy recomendable para regalar.

Arrived much later, although many things are during covid. I actually thought this item was never coming. My biggest disappointment was that he was much much smaller then expected. When they say 17" stretched out, its literally pulling the tip of one tenticle to the very tip of the other to get to 17". Just in sitting properly its about 10" maximum. However the coloring and eyes are beautiful, he is a deep dark blue with shiny silver underneath, so at least he's pretty. So I was happy enough to keep him in my octopi collection. I'm just glad I found him for seventeen dollars and not the full price. Yet I think had I seen this in store for even the sale price I paid, I likely would not have bought it for how small it is. Had I paid full price I would have been super upset because he was normally over thirty dollars. Next time I'll know stretched out means to the brink or ripping it apart lol.
