The legend of the octopus in Detroit began on April 15, 1952, when two brothers tossed one onto the ice to symbolize the eight wins then needed for a Stanley Cup. That singular act of playoff hope grew into one of hockey's most beloved traditions, giving rise to Al the Octopus as the official mascot of the Detroit Red Wings. This Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure captures the iconic purple mascot in all his eight-legged glory, a symbol of the grit and passion that define hockey in the Motor City. It is a tangible piece of franchise lore built for the collector who understands that some traditions are sacred.
