AT Sea Adventurer

[GI Chris]

Hi friends, I have a 12" AT Sea Adventurer from when I was a kid in the early 70's Mine has blonde hair & beard (I usually see him in red). And his shirt has cuffs on the ends of his sleeves w/ snaps down there. (I haven't seen many of the shirts like this in all the pictures.) I've seen several different button, snaps and pocket combinations on the front but not w/ the cuffs version. It came from central NY yrs ago. Is this a little more rare? Thanx guys. It's been fun getting him back out and adding a few accessories

I'd want to see pics. It might give some insight into the clothing.

As for the figure itself...

Unfortunately, it'd be almost impossible to verify that you got a mispacked Sea Adventurer. As he should be a red head. While it's certainly possible that it came from the factory that way, someone could have swapped it in store or any number of things. Oddly in the later re-releases in the early 2000s, the Sea Adventurer was mistakenly made a blonde for a release, but it was fairly limited and subsequent releases were the correct red hair and beard.

They were mixed up sometimes by the factory. My new Air Adventure had brown hair. I opened a lot of boxes that day and there didn't seem to be any consistency. Must have been a shipment that got packed near quitting time.
