I thought I'd have a look at LP and related divers.
I don't have any unfortunately but have been arching auction pics for years.
Here are LP's small deep sea diver figures. I'm sure I've seen a bubble carded set of these.
I remember this French auction from many years back because they were described as Plongeurs, which is French for divers.
This next toy was released by LN, a toy company of interest to anyone collecting LP toys.
This is their boxed Space Explorer Car, model number 302. Its a plastic friction blue one-man submarine. It has a silver diver sat at the controls.
The sub has exhausts typical of LP and X-series toys.
The star antenna is also a feature we've seen before on LP and X toys.
The front blue shield looks remarkably like ...
the windscreen of the Star Adventurer below.
Many of the parts appear detachable.
The LN brand is on the undercarraige.
The box art depicts a different rear to the vehicle more akin to the louvred back of the Space Explorer. Even the antenna is different.
Have you an LN or LP space diver toy?
