Where it came from
The LEGO Octopus, released in 2017 as part of the promotional set 40245, was designed to celebrate the expansion of LEGO’s repertoire of marine life figures. This specific set was created as a promotional item, often distributed through select retail partners or LEGO brand stores, reflecting the company's tradition of producing small, thematic polybags that allow builders to supplement larger oceanic or city-themed dioramas with distinct biological elements.
The design of the octopus features a specialized molded head piece with a classic stud connection, allowing it to be integrated easily into a wide variety of LEGO builds. In the context of its release, the figure was well-received by the adult fan community for its versatility and the charm of its simple, expressive design. It serves as a notable example of how LEGO utilizes small-scale, focused sets to introduce new character parts into their wider building system.
