Imaginext Collectible Figure Deep Sea Diver (#15)



On the surface or miles underwater, the Deep Sea Diver is ready for action. Look at those bright eyes and that smirk, he’s ready for adventure. This is my second diver, as the first one had a scratch on its left eye. That one eventually scraped off, and he’s the customized figure seen in this review.




Do I regret buying a second one? Not at all. These don’t even have to be divers. They could just as easily be futuristic drivers or pilots, or a division of mechanics, engineers, or other workers. They’ll all share the octopus logo on their forearms, but maybe they all work on Octo-Squad. It’s a well-done figure, and alone or in a group of a dozen or more, the Deep Sea Diver is a fun addition to the line.




He comes with two accessories, a little manta ray and a large diving bell helmet with oxygen tanks. The ray is nice extra; have him floating through the air to simulate and underwater environment. The helmet is cast in a reddish-brown, but you can see how a little black stain can bring out all the details in the sculpt.




This was a fun figure to customize. The clean default gives you enough options to work with – dirty up that orange suit of his, paint over his face for an army of mystery divers, and you’ll have a unique figure every single time. And at $3 each, it’s a great figure for beginners to practice their painting skills on as they build an entire excavation or exploration team.


 
 

Even if you don’t want a team, even if you don’t really want a deep sea diver, you will still find this to be an enjoyable figure.  It’s great how Imaginext consistently releases toys that can unlock your imagination no matter how young or old you are.
