The Seaview 1967 & JWA Jane West

The Seaview from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.  First seen in the movie by the same name, a slightly modified version was arguably the star of the TV series from 1964 - 1968.  I really liked the show, just as I liked all of the Irwin Allen shows of the period.  The ship is long, sleek and finned.  It has been called the Cadillac of submarines.  Although it has been called "clunky" or "chunky" in the Aurora version, this is the one I had when I was kid so this is the one I have on my shelf now.

Johnny West Adventures Jane West


Jane in a salmon body color with blue and white soft vinyl accessories with silver hard plastic accessories.  They again made half the accessories in blue, the other half in white and then switched which ones were which color.  I am working on a complete set in blue and a complete set in white, but I will put them on other figures.  For right now, this is how the JWA Jane stands on my shelf.  I have heard that some Janes came with cream gear even in the JWA box.  BTW, if I ever start collecting Canadian figures on purpose, the collection will probably start with a maroon Jane.
