OMG. I had those. Where did they go? Someone made a little baking soda activated submarine also. I remember my mother wondering why I took all her baking soda and why did her 8-year old boy want to take a bath. Thanks for the memory. :D :D

I had the sub too! It had a lead weight sinker on the bottom that kept falling off. They have reproduced the Frogmen and the Marx stationary Frogmen that went everywhere with me. Most of the ones you see are fluorescent colors though..

Thanks for the great trip down memory lane! I still have my Kellogs frogmen and the sub too. Remco frogman? Just picked up a copy of your book "Diving the classics". Great job. I enjoyed it very much.

I remember a Tony the Tiger diver that you put into a plastic bottle with water. You squeezed the bottle and the pressure increase made his neoprene dive suit compress and he would descend. Let off the pressure and he would ascend. I had a scuba instructor that used one to teach the effects of pressure on exposure suits. As a teaching aid It was Grrreaaat!
