This was not at all what I expected. Very small, does not even stand up when blown up. The tentacles are way too small to even toss the rings on to. I would not ever tell anyone to buy this, waste of money!

Too small to play
Extremely disappointed. I should have read the reviews. I bought one for our home and one for my granddaughters. This is SO small you cannot get a ring to catch an arm. They don’t even sit up straight. Total waste of money.
I’ve purchased the patriotic ring toss and love it. It was no longer in stock so I tried something new. Huge disappointment

A bust
Bought this for a 4 yr old's birthday party as a game to play. Didn't stay inflated for even 10 minutes. Very disappointing.

The Octopus in the pool is a blast!
We enjoyed a greater benefit from this toy than we had imagined. By having our mentally challenged daughter get into the game, she began dog paddling without realizing she wasn't touching the bottom of the pool.

fun extra vbs game
used as a room decoration for our vbs room, and as an extra game if needed because we had extra time. I bought 2, one would not stay inflated. The kids liked them.

That the product didn't work or look as advertised.
The tentacles do not stand as shown and the Octopus would not sit up unless the rings were on it. It kept falling over, we even had it floating in the pool, but it wouldn't stay upright. The kids were disappointed and I wasted $14.00+ dollars on a game we couldn't use.

Do not purchase? It will not work!
Do not buy this! The octopus arms do not stand up as shown in picture, it is all so much smaller. As an adult I tried and tried and tried to get a ring on and I could not. False advertising for sure! Unfortunately I did not blow all of these up until I was ready for my shark camp to begin so it was too late for me to choose something else, kids very disappointed as was I.

Does not work
Unfortunately, it does not work - it won't stay upright and the tentacles won't stay up straight to toss the rings on. :(

arms don't work for ring toss at all
luckily I wasn't relying on this game to entertain the kids, but the inflatable design just doesn't allow the arms to stick up vertically enough to use as ring toss targets. It was very difficult to blow up & keep enough air in the base to even have the arms stick out sideways. The octopus's head was a bit large, but the rings sort of fit over, so that's what they used to play, but they gave up quickly. Bummer, because it's a cute idea.
