    Everything is great. The delivery took a little while, but that wasn't a problem at all. Assembly was super easy. I'm very satisfied.

    Thank you so much for the review. I know that it takes some time when delivering internationally but I am so grateful for your understanding. I am so happy to hear that you were able to assemble it so easily. Please enjoy this octopus for many years to come! Jim

    The product is very cool. The only problem I had was the gaps were the tentacles attached. They didn't attach perfectly so I had to use clay to blend it in more and fill the gaps

    Thank you for the review. I have always loved this model, it is so cool to see hanging on the wall and very cool to see how customers customize their model. I am aware of the slight gap between the tentacles and am working with the designer to correct that going forward. That clay trick sure was a great "thinking outside the box" tactic. Some people use epoxy to fill it, I like the clay option though. It sounds cleaner, easier, less messy, so thank you for that tip. Jim

Fast shipping and great products. He listens and is always interested in making new items at your request.

    James, it has been such a pleasure working with you. I look forward to seeing what you may challenge me with next. Lately, I have been working on some new functional designs that will go on my website after some product testing. Thank you for the kind words and the opportunity to continue working with you. As for one of the items we discussed, I am going to begin working on designing that SPN piece myself. Until next time, my friend, take care and enjoy finishing those blades.

    I can’t begin to describe how incredible this transaction and product was, Jim is one of if not the best seller I’ve had the pleasure of working with on Etsy as a whole. Quick responses and in depth answers to my random questions, I also had a custom item on the order attached to the highly detailed hand and it went off without a hitch! I’ll be coming back for any custom work I need in the future, if you need anything 3D printed and a skilled expert who knows his stuff shop with Jim!

    Jim responded on Feb 19, 2026

    Tj, thank you for the very kind review. It was a pleasure to work directly with you on the controller holder and custom item. I look forward to seeing what other custom work you can come up with. I look to be adding more products in the next couple of months so be sure to check back. Enjoy that robot hand, I love finishing those out, they are very enjoyable as each one is slightly different than the last.

    I don’t even know where to begin! This over delivered in every way! The seller was amazing at answering my questions before AND AFTER the sale, shipping time was so quick and the quality and detail was fantastic! I was so excited to receive these for my son’s Supernatural party and everyone loved them too. The seller was amazing and even included a bonus in my order for my son. This shop and owner are the reason I love to support shop owners here on Etsy. I would give MORE than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I could!

    Lisa, thank you so much for the very kind words. It was truly a pleasure working with you to make sure that your son's party was amazing. I love the shared image and think you did an amazing job in finishing the angel blade. I am so glad that your son liked his gift and hope he gets years of use from it. Thank you again for this purchase and may this year be full of blessings to you and your family.

    Arrived fast, parts labeled and perfectly packaged! It’s a gift for my son but I couldn’t wait to see it! I opened it. It’s great! Definitely gonna need glue to hold the pieces together. We’re happy with it

    Jim

    Jim responded on Jan 14, 2026

    I am so glad that you were pleased with the octopus and hope your son is really enjoying it. Assembling this piece can be a lot of fun. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. May this controller and headphone holder find his gear neat and tidy and give you some peace of mind knowing they are being taken care of. Jim
