Greetings LG!
Today I've come to bring you a little unboxing - a nostalgia trip back to 1996 and a look at the Aquanauts 1749 Paravane set.
Other than being a nifty little set, it also happens to be the first set I ever received. It was a very exciting and happy experience and I still have a few good memories from that day.
Nostalgia aside, the set is obviously quite weak in the build department even compared to other sets of similar size and pricing.
What it fails to accomplish with its main build though it does somewhat make up with the figure - the complex suit piece and accessories (chromed knives anyone?) mean that this was somewhat a cut above what most figures came with at the time.
Overall, doing away with my own bias and love for this particular set I would have to call it a weak set. It isn't bad, there just isn't enough in the main build to make it work.
Even so, it worked for me and gave me a long lasting curiosity with what's out there beneath the waves.
I've just ordered the largest Aquanauts set - the Neptune Discovery Lab. I'm going to do a small review of it and give you guys a few shots when I get it and actually build it.
Thank you for reading my personal blog.
What was your first set LG?
