This Playland Octopus toy is mechanically based on the real-life 'Hayes Fabrication version used in real carnivals around the world.

ALPS manufactured this Octopus ride to mechanically operate exactly like its life-size Hayes counterpart except it only has four (4) "arms" as opposed to the real-life eight (8) arms.  (Ed note:  Shouldn't this toy be named a 'Tetrapus' since it only has four arms, not eight?) 

Features 5 actions including spinning cars, flashing light, ring bell and forward / reverse remote control.  This is a highly collectible 1950s toy due to its scarcity, many actions and wonderfully designed litho art.

Special Note:  Did you see the white rabbit run across the bottom in the movie?  We hide easter eggs everwhere :)
