TRU Animal Planet Deep Sea Sub!

The Spectre · **Posted:** Sat Aug 03, 2013 6:53 pm

I was at TRU this afternoon hunting in vain for a lone Data-Viper and saw this:

This very cool little sub has (at least) 2 opening hatches and 2 articulated, extendable servo arms and comes loaded with deep sea animals, some cool accessories (including a wicked little sea sled) and 2 diver figures (sadly with typical Chap Mei articulation).

I plan on getting 1 on Friday when I get paid as it is a perfect base vehicle for a retro 30's "Buck Rogers"/"Flash Gordon"- stylespaceship!

It's only $27.99 and can be found in the Animal Planet aisle!

It would make a cool retro rocket.
Nice find!

That would make a GREAT Dreadno.... er, Adventure Team vehicle...

Thanks for the heads up!

Barracuda!

Yeah, slap some fins on that bad boy and it would make a sweet War Rocket Ajax type ship!

Cool! I finally tracked down one of the previous exploratory subs to use as an Adventure Team vehicle, and now I'll have two different options. This thing looks pretty awesome, and I don't even have to paint it yellow. Thanks for the tip; I'll be on the lookout for this.

well I gotta say I started out thinking I'd have lukewarm interest in it primarily as an Adventure Team type of thing...

But then I saw your comment about the pulp era spaceship, and now I know I have to get one (speaking as someone with a Flash Gordon in the WIP line!).

Nice heads up. Thanks.

I would love to see some out of the box pics. Google has failed me in that regard...

He said FRI when he gets paid........... :-P

He hasn't bought it yet. ;-)

I nabbed one last night, but didn't get to the pics yet. Will try to do so tonight. Mainly so that I can move on to painting it up and beat gijoey towards completion of the Flash-verse. I know he will love me for that...

Hi Joe.

I wasn't talking about Spectre posting pics of one. I stated I didn't find any pics on Google.

Can't believe there are no pics up at all anywhere...

Thanks to Twitzilla for retweeting this one. It shows what they were going for with the design.

Hi Joe.

How could I love you any more than I do now........Letting me do mine first would be a good start ;-)

Unfortunately my TRU's don't have this yet.
Can't wait to see what yours looks like painted up.

That thing would look so cool chromed.
