C is for Complete!

A real box-ticker; we've looked at these once or twice over the years, but they were among the first things to be sorted together from the two stashes, and it seems that more by luck than judgement I have managed to get all six poses, although two are still tatty examples!

These are they, LP's 'deep-sea' divers, of course, when I was a kid, people still used suits like this for industry (oil & gas) and pleasure or naturalism/scientific exploration, yet now they are archaic-looking set-ups which make you think of Captain Nemo and his Nautilus!

They all seem to come in every colour, naturally as the six poses would fit on a small tool, and other colours are available, including the buff-yellow one someone sent-in last time (I'll try and find the link and put it at the bottom when I upload this), the colours seen here are also all to be found in the 54mm astronauts, along with a dark green.

Plastic Warrior magazine (No.166) showed some Lifeguard-branded four-figures cards from 1970 in Zenith (New Jersey) importer's packaging, with silver highlights instead of gold, black gloves and new plastic colours, but they may turn-out to be copies; as have Lucky's astronauts also been much plagiarised?
