Thread: Sea Monkeys

  1. The Sea Monkey packaging has gotten more creative than ever.

    Click on any of the images at the bottom of this link for more info. There are currently 16 different Sea Monkey products including a watch, a pen, Space Shuttle set, Sea Monkeys on Mars, Executive Set (I wonder if George Bush has this one), and much more.

    I begged and begged for Sea Monkeys as a kid -- but My mom always said no that they were not like the picture... Anyway that is why I picked the SeaMonkey Avatar.

    Sad Sea Monkeys

    I always thought they would eventually release sea monkey action figures. Oh well

    Almost every time I read a comic as a kid, my desire to have these wonderful creatures as pets was intensified. I finally got some as an adult. Boy, those males can hold on tight to the females with their "antlers" when they are in the mood. I had several generations but one day I put a new toy in for them and the next day they were all black and dead. I was too heart broken to raise anymore...I am such a softy.

    I remember reading somewhere (Dial "B" for Blog, maybe?) that legendary comic artist and editor Joe Orlando drew that initial Sea Monkey ad. Oh the shame.

    I never had them as a kid, but I got a set for my wife when we were dating. Her nephew spilled them out and they all died just a few days after we set up their little tank.

    Wasn't there a very short-lived live-action Sea Monkeys TV series?

    Look at that disclaimer at the bottom. I never noticed it before:

    "Caricatures shown not intended to depict Artemia salina". I'm guessing that's the scientific name for these creatures?

    And what the heck is #2 "LIVING PLASMA"? "Sea-Monkeys, now with REAL BLOOD!!!"
