See Creatures Redux

Way back in 2011, I ran a post about my collection of arthropod based toys, seen here:http://projectswordtoys.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/see-creatures.html
The pink lobster was part of the Silverlit Multimac Ocean Discovery range and recently, I managed to find its companion, the Crab Navigator.
Both toys are interchangeable with most of the rest of the Multimac range, which as it has changed hands over ten years has seen a lot of different scales and means of connection. The Crab, however is a solid toy with flip out swim fins, opening claws and figures to sit in the front cockpit. As both toys are cast in bright coloured plastic, they both respond well to illumination with a black security light, the ultra violet making certain pieces fluoresce brightly like bioluminescence.
