I don't recall whether it came in the cereal box or if I sent a quarter offf somewhere with a boxtop. I sent off a quarter. And it was a "frogman.' Never saw a sub. It was good for a month waiting for the mail, and then 5 minutes of watching it go up and down. Money would have been better spent on a squirt gun. === There was one box top toy that was actually quite cool. It was a plastic rocket that you filled half way with water and then mounted on a small air pump device with a trigger assembly. The idea was to pump up the remaining space in the rocket with compressed air and then pull the trigger to launch. It worked pretty well as I recall. |
