A great impulse set, you'll end up grabbing a handful of these things if you happen to notice then hiding along the bottom of the impulse buy station of the checkout.

My son loves both Legos and cephalopods, and this item did not disappoint. All the legs are articulated and the whole thing is just super-cool looking.
