What it does
- Joints move on their own so you can flex the arms and body freely

- Made to order in the USA after you place your order
- One squid figure, shaped for hands-on play or a quirky desk display
Giant Squid Flexi sits with its arms curled, ready for you to bend and flex each joint. This squid figure has a body made from many small linked pieces, so its arms and body move in a wavy, lifelike way.
The design was inspired by classic flexi-toy squids and octopuses, blending a giant squid shape with joints that move without falling apart. Each arm trails off into a tapered tip, giving the whole figure a fun, tentacled look.
Set it on a desk, a shelf, or hand it to someone who loves sea creatures and fidget toys. Its long arms and jointed body make it fun to pick up and pose again and again.
This is a display and novelty item made to order in the USA once you place your order.
