It's high adventure with The Pirates of Dark Water!

**Firefly** · September 27, 2008, 03:19pm

They made 8 figures: Ren, Niddler, Ioz, Zoolie, Bloth, Konk, Mantus, and Joat. Zoolie and Joat were secondary characters in the show. I have them all MOC. Maybe, Tula would have had one if they had a second wave.

Watching those clips above made me remember exactly how much I enjoyed this show. Man it needs to get put out on dvd soon, or they need to start reairing it.

I had the figures but had to use a Princess Jasmine figure to represent Tula which was kinda lame but the best I could do at the time. I can't believe they made Zoolie but not Tula?! What was that about?! Seriously?!!!

I know what you mean. Tula deserved a figure much more than Zoolie but the toy line was more of a boys line so Tula got shafted.

I love this toon! Niddler is by far my fav character and his favorite food is minga melons for those wondering. It's so different from any series I've seen and the people that fill the planet are so diverse. This series needs to be out on DVD.I would so buy it!

Loved the show a lot. really wish it continued or had a final ending. same goes for the comics.

Never released Wave 2 figures:

Those are some cool ones, but no Tula.

**Dragon78** · June 20, 2012, 09:59am

What were the toys in wave one?

See Post #26.

I had Zoolie and he was my favorite character. Nice to see this thread back, like an old friend I haven't seen in a while lol.

**Angel-T** · June 20, 2012, 08:25pm

I always wanted a Toola and the echomancer figure. Shame Toola lost out to the curse of female action figures.

**eurorko** · June 21, 2012, 01:00am

I always thought it was crazy that Tula did not get included in the toyline. She was one of the main characters!!

This is another one of those cartoon threads that seems to pop up every 8-12 months. Yes PODW was a stunning cartoon. Well written episodes with continuity, great voice talents, creative character/creature/vehicle designs, original and with smooth animation.

I loved the cartoon, had a few of the figures and played the SNES game, which as I remember wasn't a bad game. It was faithful to the cartoon, and had some surprises. This was a wonderful, short lived franchise.

**Angel-T** · June 21, 2012, 02:31am

I actually think (and have thought this for some time) that the PODW would make a hell of a movie franchise, there is such potential in this story and these characters, perticularly with the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Kids love pirates etc Now would be a good time to do something with this franchise again. Maybe even a comic book series to finish off the classic story.

Yeah, that is too bad. Maybe if the toyline had been a big success, Tula would have gotten one later like in M.A.S.K. where Vannesa came out in Wave 3 and Gloria in Wave 4.

The toy selection for Wave 2 is interesting. Nimbo, Octoquid, and Grimrot weren't on the show (maybe they would have shown up in a season 3). Strand appeared in two episodes (one with two arms, one with four arms). Scorian, Swar, and Kiroptus each appeared in one episode. I'm not seeing the battle armor in the pic for Ioz and Bloth unless I am missing something.

Well they do have the entire series on DVD and it had a semi-climatic end (Season 2 only 8 episodes) where you saw the remaining treasures in various forms. The DVD is 'made to order from Warner Bros. Home Ent. for about 30 bucks but it's just a direct from video transfer with no restoration or enhancements.

Roddy McDowall as the voice of Niddler:

Yeah, there is a thread just about the DVD set on this site as well.

If they had a wave 2 of toys planed. does that mean they were going to have a second season?

**Dragon78** · February 4, 2013, 08:20am

They did have a second season, season one was 13 episodes and season two was 8.

**kylun flac** · February 4, 2013, 11:02pm

I was so disappointed & frustrated with the show as a kid. ever time I waited for the show to go further past a certain episode the very next week the series would star right back at episode one. I would get so mad. I would wait through all the episode just to have it star back over again.

I wanted so bad to see the adventures continue & play out. I was on the edge of my seat. this was a very epic adventure that really pulls you in. not many cartoons at the time played out as a continuous story. most cartoon episodes were random & did not need to be played in order.
