Classic Kenner reuse - that bow and the arrows are almost certainly from the Jurassic Park: Dino Trackers T-Rex Turner.The bola launcher also looks like the Alan Grant series III, at least the mechanism and design. The Hyrdo Mariner wrist cannon could easily have been sourced from Arctic Blast Batman. Atoll Enforcer uses the exact same launcher backpack/net from JP Series I and II Alan Grant, just a slightly different mold. The bazooka is from JP Robert Muldoon Series I and II, just a little different on the outer sculpt. The hose for the Jet Skis is totally practical - if you ever ride one (or a Wave Runner) you put that on your life preserver so that if you get tossed off it kills the engine. Can't imagine in post-apocalyptic America where you're lucky enough to have a Jet Ski and fall off only to watch it ride into the sunset never to be seen again and waste all that precious fuel lol
That was a super thorough review of this line - I always liked the movie even as a kid and hearing all the gossip about it being such a flop. I thought it was super creative - Mad Max on water essentially. Cool line of figures - at least it actually got a line lol. The Trimarin is the jewel for sure, that is so cool you can put the sail into storage on board the ship like that. Just makes it feel more practical and real. It's got a lot of surprisingly nice features, I'd say that's one of the coolest vehicles of the 90s for sure.
Dang, those 3 single card Mariner figures were all the same mold with different paint schemes, and it's pretty wild how Kenner re-used action features across toy lines. That disk launcher for Deacon is the same setup as the Infrared Batman from the animated series line they did, and that water canon with the harpoon is similar to Mr. Freeze's action feature, just implemented a little different. That capture net for the Atoll Enforcer is the same gimmick they gave Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park line. I can't think of anything off the top of my head for that bow, if that's been re-used or not.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 I had all of the water world toys, except the trimaran..the most important part of the collection (imo)... I'm still not over it..lol!...oh, and P.S...i think it's the old man who builds the hot air balloon that calls him Mariner..but honestly, I learned it from the end credits.
Kenner made some crap toys. I actually have quite a few figures mint on cards, 3 or 4 of the ships. I like the movie. Despite the reviews. It's entertaining. Cheers buddy, thanks for doing a video on these forgotten toys
