Once they are arrive at the Octo-Shuttle, open the see-through hatch door and press the red button on the side to activate the Anti-freeze Warming System which lights up the Octo-Shuttle’s floor and illuminates the creature warming tank. The Octo-Sled also features a place for Captain Barnacles and a wheel that can be turned to make the tools spin. There are 3x AAA batteries included to light up the creature warming tank on the Octo-Shuttle with music, sound and phrases! Then they use the two mini-skis to attach the ice drill or jackhammer to break through the iceberg and save the narwhal and then use the rescue claw to carefully carry the creature back to safety.

There are plenty of cool features with the Gup-S playset like the ice drill at the front of the Octo-Sled which turns around when you turn the steering wheel. The boys loved pretending to rescue the Narwhal and putting him in the warming tank for safe keeping. I have 3 Octonauts fans in this house – one of our most used toys is the Octonauts Gup-R set – so when we were offered the chance to take a look at the all new GUP-S Polar exploration vehicle, we jumped at the chance! This is easy enough for the children to do themselves and not fiddly which is great, as otherwise the little ones can get frustrated (and that results in being asked to attach and reattach for them every few minutes!

Designed to withstand the coldest of climates and able to explore icy environments with ease, the Gup-S is the Octonauts' ideal vehicle for polar exploration. Disclosure: We have received the sample for the purposes of writing this review, however, all thoughts and opinions remain our own. Captain Barnacles can drive the GUP-S, hop onto the mini skis for arctic explorations and rescue those in need.

The product looks great, it has the octo alert feature and there are many different aspects that he can play with on this one.

My four year old loves it as it talks makes noises lights up and has lots of bits and bobs you can change, take off and adjust to how you would like it . When they need to have a quick explore, they detach the Octo-Sled and swap the interchangeable tools to drill through the ice block.

It’s a great set with lots of features and plenty to keep them entertained and I’ve been pretty impressed with it.So he was more then delighted when a large box with his name on arrived with the postman the other day! My little boy absolutely adores this, the sound effects are great on it and he has had hours of fun playing octonauts. All of these items are made from sturdy plastic including the Narwal – Monkey is convinced it’s Captain Barnacle’s old friend Boris – told you he was a fan of the show! Press the red Octo button on the side of the Exploration vehicle and the set illuminates and you can press through a number of different sound recordings.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. One of his favourite features is defiantly the light up tank and i am amazed how many phrases the GUP-S is coming out with, its like we have our very own live Octonauts Show at home when he is playing with it! The light up effect of the creature warming tank is great, and even if the lid of the Gup-S is closed the light still shines through brightly.

The Octonauts GUP-S is recommended for children aged 3 and over due to the smaller parts, but Max loves the large Polar Exploration Vehicle too – it’s big, chunky and has light and sound functions – what’s not to like? My Grandson received it today for his 4th birthday and for the past 7 hours he has not put it down . There is no windscreen at the front of the GUP-S, which not only means there is one less part to attach and potentially lose, but it also means that it is easy for children to reach inside the vehicle to add and remove the driver. There are other sets and character toys that work alongside this new set, but it works perfectly well as a stand alone play set too.
