Nine Mint-on-Card SEAQUEST DEEP SEA VEHICLE TV Show Characters with Accessories
All are in mint shape each on their individual display card. Hard to believe these collectible nautical figures are now a quarter of a century old. Interestingly for those of us living in 2019 with warnings of environmental threats, the story-line begins in the year 2018, after mankind has exhausted almost all natural resources, except for the ones on the ocean floor. Many new colonies have been established there and it’s the mission of the seaQuest and its crew to protect them from hostile nonaligned nations and to aid in mediating disputes as well as engage in undersea research. Robert Ballard (retired United States Navy officer and a professor of oceanography at the University of Rhode Island who is most noted for his work in underwater archaeology: maritime archaeology and archaeology of shipwrecks) served as the technical consultant on the science fiction series seaQuest DSV during its first season from September 1993 until May 1994. During the closing credits, he would speak about the scientific elements that were present in any given episode and place them in a contemporary context. The series follows the adventures of the high-tech submarine seaQuest DSV 4600, a deep submergence vehicle operated by the United Earth Oceans Organization (UEO), a global coalition of up-world countries and undersea confederations, similar to the United Nations. The UEO was created following a major showdown of nations and confederations at the Livingston Trench in the North Atlantic Ocean that occurred circa 2017 as depicted in the pilot episode, “To Be Or Not to Be”, and it remained a recurring element for the duration of the series. The seaQuest was designed by retired naval captain Nathan Bridger and built by NORPAC (a military organization mentioned in the pilot) and given as a loan to the UEO after its creation. The science fiction television series was created by Rockne S. O’Bannon and during its first season mixed high drama with realistic scientific fiction. It originally starred film star Roy Scheider as Captain Nathan Bridger, designer and commander of the eponymous naval submarine seaQuest DSV 4600. Jonathan Brandis also starred as Lucas Wolenczak, a teenaged computer genius placed aboard seaQuest by his father. Also present was a dolphin character called Darwin who, due to technological advances, was able to communicate with the crew. Steven Spielberg expressed interest in the project and served as one of the show’s executive producers during the first two seasons. The animal character action figure is the dolphin, Darwin (in the show Frank Welker was the voice of Darwin). The 8 human characters action figures depict 6 crew members and 2 villains. The crew members were in a number of episodes, the villains were each featured in their own episode. These characters and the actors’ names are. Roy Scheider as Captain Nathan Bridger (47 episodes). Jonathan Brandis as Lucas Wolenczak[20] (57 episodes). Stacy Haiduk as Lieutenant Commander Katherine Hitchcock (23 episodes). Don Franklin as Commander Jonathan Ford (56 episodes). Applegate as Chief Manilow Crocker (22 episodes). Ted Raimi as Lieutenant Tim O’Neill (54 episodes). Alan Scarfe as Biochemical Terrorist Rubin Dr. Z Zellar from the episode Games. John Bedford Lloyd as Dr. Leslie Ferina (aka the Regulator) from the episode The Regulator. Each figure stands about 4 1/2 inches tall and has around 14 points of articulation. The backs of the hanging cards provide information on the show, the characters, and their accessories. None of the figures have ever been removed from their cards.
