The bubble on this action figure is in terrible shape, but the rarity of the Canadian series means this is the best I have been able to get...so far. As with several of the other action figures in this set, O'Neill has three different price stickers. The green Toys-R-Us price sticker shows the seaQuest action figures started at CA$6.99, but they lowered the price to 3.98 and then 1.98. Indeed, I still recall seeing US seaQuest figures warming the pegs at stores back in 1994. In particular, Captain Bridger was overpacked, with some stores having nothing but Bridgers on the shelf. Playmates made way too many of the seaQuest figures, thinking the show was going to hit big like their Star Trek TNG line, which ran during that latter show's height in its later seasons. They should have learned from the action figure line by Galoob, which did not do that well during the first season of TNG. All this means that the seaQuest action figures will probably never be worth that much...but they are still very cool.
The back of the card.
