LITTLE FROGGYBuilding Block Toys The Octonauts GUP-B Vehicle & Figure Creative Playset Compatible with Lego Bricks Ideal Gift for Boys Girls Aged 6+ 113PCS (3701)

Grandson loved it

My kiddo has liked the Octonauts show for about 8 years so when I saw this Gup-R building block set I ordered it pretty quickly.My child really likes it overall and noted the nice smooth pieces. He loves that it has wheels on the bottom so that he can drive it around. He also loves that it includes a Captain Barnacles minifigure, which he had to build using the directions. Building the minifig was frustrating because he could not get the legs to attach without using a lot of force. However, the rest of the set was easy for him to assemble without assistance.He wishes there would have been a blue 2x4 plate included so that he could close off the compartment below the dorsal fin, so Captain Barnacles could ‘transport’ things securely in this little area. He fixed this by using one of his 2x4 Lego brand plates, so we know these bricks are compatible with the name brand. He didn’t like that he had to carefully apply stickers to multiple pieces; he would have rather had the pieces come printed with the designs.The helmet shown on the listing photos and on the box exists only in one’s imagination. It would have been pretty cool to have the helmet pieces included with the set since the Octonauts spend most of their time underwater.Looking back at the listing photos, we discovered something that was not mentioned in the instruction manual. We didn’t realize that the ‘flanks’ (the water splash-looking bits at the tips of the wings) could be ‘fired’ by pressing down on them! They shoot several feet in an unpredictable direction, so have your child play with it in an open area where the pieces will be easily spotted.The length and width measurements of the Gup-R are pretty accurate but the height is closer to 3.5” rather than the 2.4” the listing shows.The manual says the set is for kids 3+ but the listing says it’s for kids 6+. Most of the printing on the box is in some other language, but the directions for building are pictoral, and easy to follow.

Equal to LEGO in quality of bricks. Build design entirely adequate. Nothing spectacular about the design. Directions as easy to follow as LEGO. If your kid loves Octonauts and maybe LEGOs, this set will certainly suffice.

I’ve had a few sets of non branded blocks but these honestly are the closest most accurate sets I’ve ever used before. With that being said the instruction booklet was exactly the same as original ones and very easy to follow! Simply made within 10 minutes max. Afterwards it feels sturdy and strong. Works great and character fits perfect. I’d have liked it if his legs had spots to sit on blocks but that’s okay. Colors are spot on and stickers are nice. Overall this is an amazing kit especially at the price and feel very nice and made a good sturdy piece. My son has dropped it a few times and it hasn’t broken apart (minus the wings which are easily snapped back on!)

We are big Octonaut fans in our house, and this building set was so fun. My six year old was able to build it with supervision. The blocks pop together nicely, unlike some other Lego knockoff brands. Not only was the construction fun for her, but she loves to play with it as well. I have never seen another Octonaut building set like this!

This is not worth the money; the instructions are incorrect and in Chinese. It fell apart, which caused my granddaughter to cry. She loves the Octonauts and stated that cry when it fell apart when she picked it up. SAVE YOUR MONEY DON'T BUY THIS. Unfortunately I bought two !

We love Octonauts in our home and we love building blocks. This set was a must have. My son has a set of this particular gup, but my nephew really liked it as well. So I got this one for him. My nephew and son now have a collection of 6 different building block gups. This one seems to be my nephew's favorite though. It keeps both of them entertained for hours. My nephew sleeps with his next his nightstand. It was a very fun build and the instructions were easy for them to read. I would highly recommend this, and will be shopping around for more.

Truth be told, I totally ordered this set for the fun cat figurine that came with it. He does not disappoint. The entire set is an easy and fun build. The stickers stay on well. It only took me about 20 minutes to build it. When it’s done, it’s a fun little vehicle for playability. I can definitely recommend this set.
