I think I may have had this! :-) I actually watched the show for a bit as a young’un…

Them eyes! Them octopus eyes. It’s like a toon monster wandered in from another show.

A little before my time as far as lunchboxes go. (I had a King Kong ’76, and a Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox in elementary school). Love the googly eyed octopus.

Boy, that is one angry octopus. Probably because it hasn’t been getting much sleep lately, with all those submersibles having loud parties at all hours.
I think I had a lunch box like this (not of this series mind, but a series). For the life of me I can’t think who was on it. Probably Spider-man.

I had plenty like this. I distinctly remember having one for U.F.O.

The Seaview has big sea viewing windows but, they are watching a video feed (coming from?).

So is this what Marvin the Martian looks like without the Roman getup?
bgbear_rnh
He’s got a hold of the flying sub and he looks like he is upset that he does not have a can opener.

From the set up here, it’s obviously the forward camera, well established from both the film and the series.

Do the Seaview’s observation windows look oddly small to anyone else? I thought they were a touch wider, covering more of the front of the vessel.
bgbear_rnh
Yes, I guess I was thinking that the video view and front of lunch box view were concurrent.

I do not recall two rows of windows but, I guess that was the original film that had two rows of smaller windows.
Rock Baker
Oh, the Seaview always had two rows of observation windows. It’s easily the sub’s most distinguishing feature.

OK, now I am lost, got to go back to Irwin Allen school ;)

One of the most enjoyable universities on earth!

It is the only school where earthquake drills are conducted in Sensurround!.

Don’t have this, but I have the novel (I think there was only one). It was written by technical SF writer Raymond F. Jones and published by Whitman in 1965. It’s actually a pretty good story.
