BOATERIFIC 'KING OF THE SEA'

I've had a bit of a run on Ideal's Boaterific boats lately, and here is my latest purchase, the 'King of the Sea' Cabin Cruiser.

It's another colourful and detailed toy, and in pretty good condition too.

Everything works on it, and apart from a broken stern flag, which appears to have happened in transit it's all minty.

I love the detail inside of the cabin. There's a chair, the ship's wheel and a door to the lower decks. There's even an open one going down to the 'engine' room.

The painted ocean backdrop.

Not bad for a toy that first appeared in 1967.
