You can't keep a good submarine down, so as theres been a lot of deep sea toys surfacing on the blog, I thought i'd wade in and add a few of my own. Above is a japanese, self righting submarine torpedo. Battery powered, the sub powers through the water and the pilot stays upright in his central bubble!
Fisher Price Adventure People - borderline toy, just edging into the kindergarten department, but with more than a whiff of bathyscaphe about it. The addition of a gripping claw swung it - oh and a nice rubber octopus too.
Matchbox Deep Diver, wheels underneath and an opening hatch, but the Matchbox legacy made it a definite for the collection.
Of course where you find Matchbox Hot Wheels are never far away, Mattel 'Fathom This' sub with integral propellors along the centre of the hull. Odd.
A Matchbox/Mattel hybridisation, Mega-Rig mini subs and frogman with sub-scooter.
Little Big Man lives again with National Geographics 8 inch doll series. Twodeep sea explorer figures, one scuba diver with shark and sea scooter and one aquanaut complete with DSRV.
Extremely posaeble, with depth gauge, spear gun, mask, tank, knife and deck shoes!
Nat Geos Deep Sea Research Vehicle. Gripping claw, water tight canopy, moveable engines and speargun.
Mini radio controlled sci-fi sub.
Johnny Quest and his mates out for a swim with the Porpoise DSRV.
Close up of Tomy Extreme Team diver with special powered sub suit.
Like an endless box of chocolates Wote, your collection is just choc full of goodies. And not a coffee creme in sight!
