It was never produced, but my dad was a toy buyer for a major toy chain in Cincinnati (home of Kenner at the time) and became friends with a Kenner salesman who gave him one, maybe a prototype, maybe a one of a kind because other than the Kenner catalog I have never seen one. Any ideas?

I'm astounded this still exists! <br /><br />I recently had to review this whole series for my website.<br /><br />The original TV movie was filmed "Wet," and the footage from that was re-used endlessly in the next three TV movies. When the series started, they were filming stuff "Dry," and you can really tell. There's a major loss of quality in the FX.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Republibot 3.0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-77775263224486332652010-08-24T19:54:54.640-04:002010-08-24T19:54:54.640-04:00Great shots of the sub.

Man From Atlantis was one of my favorites from back in the day.<br />As far as "dry" underwater scenes go, I was recently watching the Bond film For Your Eyes Only and I noticed that closeups of Roger Moore and Carole Bouquet were also "dry" with bubble efects and a windfan to make Carole Bouquet's hair look like it's underwater.Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631388281199815121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-30843826166797020052010-08-24T17:06:51.352-04:002010-08-24T17:06:51.352-04:00Heh.

Clearly online auction sites are where all the cool previously unseen stuff can be found! I loved this ships design when i was a kid, if they'd only have produced a cool little plastic toy of it at the same time, it definitely would have seen a lot of action in the bathtub and swimming pool, along with the plastic octopuses and sharks I had!<br /><br />Dusty AbellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
