Sinking to new depths

Moray at the Controls

 A while ago I posted the Quest Porpoise sub by Hasbro. Shortly after I got it and I looked into the background to the toy, I transpired that it was actually was re-issue of the GI Joe series toy, the Cobra Mantis Sub. Why on earth they would name an aquatic vehicle after a flying insect is beyond me, but that didn't dissuade me from picking one up on ebay Uk last week. She arrived today and is cosmetically identical to the Porpoise, apart from a much more sober colour scheme of deep blue, albeit with similar OTT decals. This model comes with the Cobra Moray diver figure - one can never have too many frogmen. Like the porpoise it has clockwork propellor, moveable work arms, firing torpedo and winch underneath.Its fitted with wheels too, the fron one slightly offset so that it rolls along the floor with a satisfying nausea-inducing wave motion too..
