I had a real hard time trying to get good photos of this scares item! This is a mini
Seaview plastic 3" toy issued by France in the mid 1970's. The company that made this
item is "Galaxia" and the sub even comes with a tiny torpedo. I Purchased this item
from owner Terry Fitton of "Monsters in Motion" in Placentina, California on 9/8/00.
The 3 toys in packages came from Spain and were issued by the toy maker
Montaplex in 1967. One package contains 4 divers. One package contains the
seaview and 2 torpedoes. One package contains a mini sub, pilot, helicopter and
an underwater mine. Each of these 3 packages are approximatly 4" x 5". Also
included in this lot is a toy made in China (in the late 1990's), but was sold
in Europe. This toy was designed to be a water toy, and although it does not
refer to the TV show or the Seaview on the toy, I think it's obvious what this
toy is based on! It is 7" long and comes with a hand held remote control for
forward movement or diving.
These toys are extremely RARE and are in mint condition! They will be a nice
addition to any Voyage toy collection!
This is a funny plastic Pull Toy, based on the 'Seaview' from 'Voyage to the
Bottom of the Sea'. Original vintage item (sixties, made in Spain, inscription:
'US SIBIUM SS 546'). It was a 'cheap' pull toy, simplified model, made in plastic.
Measures 16 1/2" (42cm) long, has 3 wheels, fine condition (unused). Really funny!
Highly collectible!
Value: $75.
