Wild Republic Giant Squid Plush, Stuffed Animal, Plush Toy, Ocean Animals, 22 inches, Red (83198)

Bought this as a going away gag present for a co worker. This thing is ridiculously cute and soft. I duct taped it to the back of my co-workers desk chair and he died of laughter when he walked into his office and fell in love with it. On his final day he walked out cradling it like a baby.

When I purchase plush toys, they have high quality, I saw a blacktip shark, but, the fin tip was too fuzzy so it didn’t look right to me. But this Squid is perfectly fashioned. Details are well done it even has a beak. Which was a wonderful surprise. I love my Quill❤️ He looks really well with Chamel Octavia my plush Octopus.

It was a Christmas gift so I have no idea how durable it is @ this point.

If you love squids and desperately need a plush squid this is honestly, truly, the ONLY squid for you. It is soft and lovable and at just the right age (length). Anatomically correct for those nit picking giant squid loving people. My five year old just received this as a birthday gift two and a half days ago and it has not been put down. It was love at first sight and all other present buying attendees were quite disappointed because we didn't open another gift. His first bike? Poo poo. We have a 22" plush squid.I'm not joking.Her one ear (ink sac) is again, correct as far as squids go, but the two double stitches to hold it to the body have already been ripped off so it is only partly attached. Anyways, I see some dirty, dragged tentacles and arms in the future but she should hold up for a very long time.UPDATE:It's been a long year and a half, full of love, and now Hari, our giant squid, is a grandma squid. She has been washed, slept with, and dragged 1,200 miles to Florida (to meet her squid family-including Molly the Mollusk: her 27 foot mom) and has held up beautifully. Her once silky soft exterior is no longer. Her color has dulled a bit, but not too much. She still has all of her arms and tentacles. Though, the stitching that makes the top fold over the bottom (right above the eyes) and gave her that additional life-like feature has come apart. Now, these were just a few stitches and I didn't expect them to last. If I was a good mother I could easily take 5 minutes to sew it....but I'm not, so I won't. I don't remember how much I paid for this thing but they were selling for around $25 in the aquarium gift shop. Well worth the $$!

The media could not be loaded. I was a little nervous about buying this because other reviews said that stitching came undone (which i know how to sew so i wasn't extremely afraid about the stitching, which has still lasted after my dog biting it and me whipping it around from the tentacles) but I was nervous about the texture. To my surprise, it was as soft as the blanket I use to sleep and snuggle in! Squiddy here, (thats what I named him lol) is also anatomically correct! With the mouth, extended 2 tentacles, and even the ear that squirts out the ink! I'm a huge nerd for whales and deep sea creatures so I'm glad to give my sperm whale stuffed animal a friend. Even though sperm whales eat squid. Cheers to Squiddy!

This was the largest squid I have been able to find, but not as large as I would have liked. I purchased this for my daughters play room, we have an 'Under the Sea' type theme going on, and this fit right in. The quality of the construction is top-notch, seams are tight and well sewn. The fabric is well made, durable and very soft, it has held up to many washings without fade or damage. The color is a nice brick red, with a little orange tinge and tan as the contrasting underside. The details are cool, a little beak within all of the tentacles, and the eyes are life-like and stare back at you (not in a creepy way). My daughter immediately took to playing with it, putting the tentacles over her head and pretending it was her hair (think dreadlocks). Over-all a good purchase and I am happy with the value for the money spent. Wild Republic makes lots of other animals and we will most likely purchase others in the future.

I bought this plush and was pleasantly surprised with the level of detail that the designer took in creating it. it could have been a cylinder with 8 arms, and two tentacles and I probably would have been happy but that is not what we got. Instead we got two giant eyes, and a beak. A funnel and a mantle with a separate material inside. The filling is plenty soft until you get to the peak of the mantle, where a different packing is used. Still a harder beanie-baby style bead. Still soft enough that it won't hurt a child but solid enough to notice. This squid has a cuttlebone! There's no reason to go to those lengths for a plush cephalopod, but they did and I'm glad they did.A wonderful addition to our home.
