From TV to Toys: SeaQuest DSV (Pre-Episode)

[@derekwilliams1660]

I used to love Seaquest DSV. I watched it all the time.

[@jamesramirez348]

I bought my brother the Roy Scheider Figure for his birthday back in the Day. He's a big fan of both The Show and Jaws. He still has the Figure

[@BuckleUp97]

The regulator is the only figure I have from this line and I gotta say I love him lol, definitely feels like he has the most individuality of the bunch

[@LukeWarm05]

I never watched the show but I love the fact that there is a Ted Raimi action figure.

[@cyborgroxx]

I remember the show. I remember when it came out. There was a LOT of promotion for it. I watched the first few episodes. I didn't get the figures because I had stop collecting after Christmas of 1992. I was turning 13 in 1993. I started collecting figures again in the year 2000, however I did get on board with Power Of The Force 2 in 1997. But 2000 was the year I wanted to go back and finish off my childhood collections. In these past 19 years, I haven't got into 90's figures. However after watching this video, I'm thinking about getting some.

[@bjpalm1994]

Nice! I remember this show. Definitely season 1 but the later seasons I didn't catch for some reason. I never had any of the figures but I had tons of the Star Trek ones. I remembered it being a big thing too when Jonathan Brandis died.

[@SparkeyMarky]

As a huge Star Trek fan as a child I remember being so excited when I found out these existed. I tried watching SeaQuest but I never fully got into it, loved the figures though as to me they were an extension of my Star Trek crew. The interesting thing about them was the better articulation, that was partially adopted for the Voyager figures, but Voyager still didn’t adopt the better crotch joints that SeaQuest had! In answer to your question though about two completely unconnected lines being so similar, take a look at Doctor Who and Primeval, both by Character Options.

This show somehow eluded me...🤔...But it looks hella interesting...👌🏼 I'm a sucker for anything with time traveling elements in it...💁‍♂️

[@nicholastosoni707]

About all I know of _SeaQuest_ is that its executive producer was Philip Segal, who used it to gain leverage within Amblin so that he could then work on a joint venture with the BBC to get _Doctor Who_ back onto the screens.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

I watched the show but I only remember the talking Dolphin, the fact that the Jaws guy was in it, and the teenager later starred in a movie where Chuck Norris was his imaginary friend (Sidekicks), and then the actor committed suicide. Also, our school got promotional paper Sequest book covers one year.

[@porko882]

Playmates did a great job with there startrek and sea quest toys, the paint and detail id perfect and they are very durable. i wish toys today still had that amount of paint and quality.

[@jeffstark8449]

I remember this show.

[@danstormer]

I remember seaquest. They used to show it here in the UK on Sunday afternoons!

[@bentonrp]

Beautiful! Thanks. This is a franchise I was dangerously close to forgetting about. At age 11 or so, I said "Hmm, I might watch that." I forgot, then it was gone. SeaQuest!:D

[@mitchellpotts1180]

You're the man and your intro makes me feel very welcome you should have way more subscribers

[@ThatJunkman]

I agree :)

[@paulb3476]

I vaguely remember that Had no idea they made figures from the series .

[@heffphilat]

I have a vague memory of the show. I like those figures! I own the Reaction JAWS collection and my Chief Brody doesn't touch the Sequest version of Roy Scheider. Great video! Thank you

[@alejandroperez-yy9ym]

Definitely here for that Roy Schindler action figure best of the bunch imo

[@jessecowled5764]

Darwin was voiced by voice acting legend Frank Welker

[@NickBartolo]

The likenesses are amazing for the era.

[@mattiasohlin6339]

I don't remember the series but the figures looked fantastic! 😁

[@brianartillery]

A great set of figures. The only one I don't have, is Darwin. Never saw one, ever. Oh, I really want one of those 'lights and sounds' Seaquest models, along with the figure sized 'Stinger', and it looked like they were going to make 'The Regulator's' sub too. The figures all came with a load of gear, too - the tiny fold out computers were superb. You're right, Junkman - this is a show deserving of a reboot. Maybe the people who made 'Battlestar Galactica' from a somewhat cheesy late 1970's space opera, into a show everyone wanted to watch, could oversee it. I loved season one of 'Seaquest DSV' (which stands for 'Deep Submergence Vehicle), but found the other two seasons pretty much unwatchable.

[@candacecherry2846]

My freaned loved this show

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

I somewhat remember this.

[@hondorockz]

I always wanted to watch it because of Roy Scheider, but never got around to it, I never knew the show produced action figures, great info Junkman!

[@diggingattycho7908]

The last big network sci-fi series. I always though it was a huge tip of the hat(if not a bit of a loose remake) to another network undersea series. Irwin Allen's, "Voyage to The Bottom of the Sea", which if you thought Seaquest was nuts, you haven't see anything yet. But then to my memory the Seaview didn't go into space.

[@50TBRD]

I watched the show with my grandmother back in the day but don’t remember anything about it.

[@RedPolarBearRanger]

I heard of Seaquest DSV but never seen it as a scuba diver and lover of the sea I would had enjoy. As for a sequel it can be done the right way similar to the Karate Kid & Cobra Kai however Roy Schider passed away years ago along with Jonathan Landis the surviving case could be brought back for the sequel one that takes place between season 2 & 3 to fill in the gaps. Speaking of the Karate Kid do you plan to do a video about the Karate Kid action figure line or no?

[@newjerseywhistleblower5097]

Man i was a sucker for the show and had no idea their were figures and toys otherwise my Grandparents never would have heard the end of it lol. The show was great but the later seasons got a tad bit weird enjoyable but weird. Just found your channel and enjoy the content,review's & insight, Keep up the great work from a old school Star Wars fan you have my support just subbed.

[@jeffreyscarbroughboardgame2822]

I recently picked up all but 3 if the action figures mip for around 4$ each

[@jeffreyscarbroughboardgame2822]

I'll have to check my regulater action figures lol

[@lancelambert9124]

Such potential wssted. I remember SeaWorld Orlando had a SeaQuest "ride" for a time.

[@toddtr5520]

good video, as always I learned something new

[@meneerjansen00]

I think I only saw season 1 and I liked it.

[@The_Str4nger]

Voyage to the bottom of the sea: The Next Genaration

[@stephenlozano2816]

I had those figures back in the day. I was pissed when they never produced that one person sub “the Stinger!” I remember I had to buy the plastic model kit from Monogram just to have one, but it wasn’t to scale with the figures.

[@JackSparrow-df4nk]

Dr Z was a villain not the boats medical officer. The chief medical officer was Dr. Kristine Westphalen.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

Never heard of seaquest

[@bobbova8708]

Really a nice video.I was actually in my 30's when this series came on. You are spot on that season 1 was better than 2 and 3. Unfortunately the problems were entirely due to NBC'S interference with the series producers. I did collect the figures but only last month finally was able to get Darwin to complete the set.Watching the series again now on peacock I find season 2 a little better than I remember end and season 3 miss Roy Sheider being a regular even though I also enjoy Michael Ironside's performance.I really wish they had put out the SeaQuest and the stinger vehicles. Thanks for including the video showing the figures and vehicles.Before this I had only seen some still pictures of the SeaQuest and stinger vehicles. Also I liked the late Jonathan Brandis and they did a little better job with Lucas than they did with Wesley Crusher.

[@sgf129]

The show seemed to go from Star Trek underwater to voyage to the bottom of the ocean in about one season.

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

I think we need a bigger boat.

[@TheRavenArchon]

This was my family’s show during the first season. We loved how science-y, realistic, and grounded it originally was. Sure it was a 90s show, so it meandered into some cheese sometimes, but it was very science focused. They even had a tag at the end of every episode where an actual marine biologist went over some of the real world science the episode was based on. Then season 2 came out and we were so disappointed. Roy Scheider, was right about it. It wasn’t even good sci-fy, like Star Trek or Babylon 5, it was bad budget sci-fy, which the 90s already had so much of. We stopped watching it regularly and then only ever caught a couple of season 3s episodes. I still rewatch season 1 sometimes. It’s thankfully a very self contained season, with a really good finally that almost feels like a series finally.

[@hicknopunk]

There was a 3rd season?????

[@jartladder15]

This was a CHEEZY show and kinda wierd but I confess I watched it on Sunday nights..thanks for unearthing this.

[@charlesalmada1016]

I know this was 3 years ago season 1 was good there where supposed to come out with a seaquest sub toys as you can see them would have ben cool but the only thing you can get which I still have I'd s Sea quest model an the small ships

[@johnfronczek5408]

I remember watching an episode of SeaQuest. I think it was Halloween night in 1994. SeaQuest was okay, but not great.

[@jeffreyscarbroughboardgame2822]

I did a video of me unboxing some if the action figures

[@thefinchers4102]

Junk man it's only 80 degrees

[@WARPATH-sr5ci]

you are right they look the same compared to the star track toys

[@RWhettstone]

THIS VIDEO IS A DISASTER!!!!!! I don't think this guy ever saw the show. Edward Kerr walked off Set of a Season 2 episode, not season 3. Dr. Wendy Smith was one of the fan's least favorite characters, certainly not a "popular character". Only her boobs were popular. It's pronounced "Or-Teez:, not "Orts". SeaQuest had 59 one-hour episodes if the 2 two-parters are broken down for syndication (where the money is), not 57. It's Roy Scheider, not ShRider. Dr. Z is NOT the Doctor of the SeaQuest, he was a one-episode villain and mass murderer. Gon is not pronounced "Goon". NO FANS spent hours looking for the mis-spelled Regulator package. The unreadable mis-spelling was right at the bend of the glued bubble, most fans didn't even know until a decade later on the internet. Darwin wasn't the hardest to find because it was popular, it was the hardest to find because it shipped last on a delay from the other 8 and stores still had the original 8 on shelves. It was NOT the Network that screwed up the show, it was Producer Patrick Hasburgh. Fans still hate him. I still hate him.

[@MegaDoomer101]

I loved this show when I was 11. I bet it didn't age well though

[@MiamiLoco]

Did I miss a video? Didn't you tease MiB in the previous video??

[@ThatJunkman]

Yes in the search for the worst series

[@MiamiLoco]

@@ThatJunkman i can't find it, can you please post a link to it?

[@ThatJunkman]

MiamiLoco the new one isn’t up until Tuesday

[@jefferyyoung2580]

What doctor woman 😊

[@RandomDudeFromSomewhere]

I loved the first and third seasons. Hated the second one. BTW, that Dr guy wasn’t the ship’s doctor, he was a bad guy in one episode.

[@JazzFan76]

I watched the show because Ted Raimi was in it. I actually liked his character Lieutenant Junior Grade Tim O'Neill on seaQuest over the bumbling idiot Joxer the Mighty on Xena Warrior Princess. I just found Joxer annoying. I don't fault Ted for accepting that role but it seems like the role was probably the brain child of either Ted's brother Sam Raimi or Rob Tapert. I'm not sure where the character of Joxer came from. If Ted wasn't in seaQuest, I probably wouldn't watch it considering that I'm not a fan of science fiction. I also liked Darwin. Jonathan Brandis was great as Lucas Wolenczak. I was quite sad when I found out that Jonathan Brandis killed himself November of 2003. Royce D. Applegate also died the same year as Jonathan Brandis. He died at a New year's party at a mansion. There was a fire there and sadly, he didn't make it out. He died January 1st, 2003. I have seaQuest on DVD and Blu-ray. I also own two seaQuest hats, one black one and one blue one. I also have the Ted Raimi Tim O'Neill figure, I also have the seaQuest font saved on my computer. ☺

Play the snes and game boy game

[@Chuck-he1jd]

Seaquest 2023 Darwin is a trans dolphin

[@rumblehat4357]

Saw the show a couple of times back in the day but wasn't a fan. I did have the Hitchcock figure, however.

[@nathanmihopoulos1138]

yay 1st nice video

[@joemartin5669]

The show never did catch on like how they hoped so I can see why they went a more sci fi route.The figures weren't all that interesting from a toyetic point of view except for Darwin.I mean it was just ordinary humans underwater.very limited in what you could do with them outside of that.Dr.Z was a bad guy who was cryo frozen .the doctor on the show was a woman.I see what they were going for show wise in that first season but figure wise it was boring
