    Apart from the feet, i thought they looked like pigs.

    No idea why anyone would pay extra for a memory stick the size of a tennis ball.

    They might appeal to people who are always losing/mislaying things like this?

    I think they're cute! Definitely more pig-like than octopus. I can see kids toddling off with it, though, thinking it's a toy... or worse... the dog chewing it up, lol!
