Octonauts Gup I Review

Sound the Octo-Alert! It’s time for more missions with the new toys from Fisher Price.

The Octonauts have wrapped up warm for their latest arctic adventures with a new playset addition to the Fisher-Price® toy range, as well as the introduction of new vehicles for more exciting deep sea missions.

The brand new Octonauts Gup-I Playset is the perfect vehicle for
polar adventures. The Gup-I is inspired by the durability
and adaptability of the water bear. Part polar exploration
station and part rugged vehicle, the Gup-I is equipped
with everything the Octonauts need for creature rescues,
despite the worst of weather conditions.

This Gup transforms for three different ways to play. In
Water Bear Mode, the Gup’s legs can extend into “snow
stilts” to give more stability for polar rescues so it can
race and roll to the rescue. In Scout Mode, the Gup-I
stands upright, giving the team the perfect view to scan
and spot any creatures in trouble. In Command Center Mode, the Gup-I opens to reveal everything the Octonauts need for their rescues, including a
snowball launcher and a small Snowprowler vehicle that is perfect for short scouting missions.
When little ones pull the antennae lever they will hear phrases from the crew – 
this smart Gup
recognises when it is in Water Bear Mode or Scout mode and will respond 
with different fun
sounds and phrases. 
The Gup-I includes Kwazii in his snowsuit, a snowball launcher with 3 snowballs, a satellite dish play piece, a small Snowprowler vehicle and a Weddell seal with an
icy “coat” that can be rescued. 

Its not intended for water play and suitable from 3years+. 

My Thoughts on the new Gup I Playset:

All the Octonaut Toys we have purchased so far where always made out of sturdy plastic which gives them a pretty good survival chance in our house with Finns little Sister being a bit rough with them sometimes! Having said that when i tried to put the Gup I into Scout Mode (standing up) it didn’t stand for long and the smallest nudge made it fall over. 

The Gup I reminds me somehow on Transformers which funny enough Finn only recently got into so his 2 favourite toys combined into 1 can only be a winner!

The different phrases which play accordingly to which of the 3 modes you having the Gup I, don’t disappoint and are always entertaining for my kids.

If you pull the antenna lever, the toy plays phrases from the crew and i know for a fact that Finn will know them by heart in a weeks time!

Overall once again the newest Octonauts Playset from Fisher Price wich has a RRP of £39.99 did not disappoint and is most certainly a number 1 candidate to be put on any Octonauts Fans 

christmas list for sure!

As you can see from the below pictures Molly-May and me opened up the new Gup I Playset whilst Finn was at school we couldn’t help ourself and had a little play with it:

Her favourite bit was most certainly the snowball launcher with the 3 balls and she also loved putting the icy coat on and off the seal:

But the Octonauts fun doesn’t stop here there also the all time favourite Octopod itself, the brand new Talking Gup E which comes with Shellington and a leafy see dragon, the Gup Y Vehicle with Shellington, 3 slime rocks and a veto crab and lastly the Gup Speeders Raceway which comes with a little Gup Speeder C (driven by Barnacles) and looks like hours of fun to be had:
